Well this week pretty much just started and it is already extremely busy. I really dont feel like gettin through this week. i just want to hang out at home and relax but no instead i have 7 tests, an english report, and basketball practice on friday and sunday (the 2 worst days to have it on). it sucks.

for the 7 tests i have an algebra test tomorrow, social studies test tomorrow, english test thursday, science test thursday, spelling test friday, vocab test on friday, and a bible test friday. its really gonna suck studying for all of them. i kinda know algebra but not really but i dont know how to really study for it. now for social studies i hardly know anything. in class i can hardly ever pay attention because its so boring. i have to sit through a 30 long slide of the new chapter and then have questions on it. i fall asleep pretty much everytime. now for english i kinda sorta know it but i could know more. now for science i know absolutely nothing!!! its on the elements and i need to know from 19 to 36 with the atomic number, abreviations, the name, and atomic weight. it really sucks. i havent even started studying yet. spelling and vocab is usually simple and so is bible. so for the next few days its gonna feel like hell.

Well today was my great grandpas funeral. we drove down there which was about 3 hours to go to the graveside service. there was quite a few people there. it didnt last that long. maybe about 20 minutes and then afterwards everyone went to a mexican resturant. it was good and it was cool hanging out with a lot of relatives which i havent talked to in forever. overall it was a good day, i mean missing skool, playin my psp for 6 hours (there and back), and haning out with family but the only reason we got to do that was because of a death which was sad.

i really didnt know my great grandpa to well. i met him around 10 times but most of those times was when i was very young so i dont remember. the last time i went to visit him was last july. he was very funny when i last when and i was looking forward to the next visit. sadly the next visit was at his funeral. so i would have rather gone without a day off of skool, playin my psp for 6 hours, and seeing family because then he would still be alive today.

I know that if you tag a lot the you will get an emblem which i would like. i already got the emblem for pushing (rating my games very high). i only did that to get the emblem. im gonna see how many emblems i can get. i know you can get one for having a lot of friends but im not gonna get any.

Well i have been listenin to a lot of music lately and i have also been finding a lot of artists that i like. Here is a list of some of the artists i listen to...

As I Lay Dying

Dragonforce

Pendulum

Linkin Park

Green Day

Anberlin

Serj Tankian

The Distillers

In Flames

Rise Against

The Sleeping

Puddle of Mudd

Metallica

I cant really think of all the artists right now but that is the majority of what i listen to.

Yes i finally got to level 4!!! it took awhile but i finally made it. well actually it only took 4 days. so thats an average of going up one level per day. well i guess that is pretty fast. im still reachin for level 50 so im gonna keep goin.

In my opinion i am very satisfied with my PSP. i cant tell you how much i enjoy it and how impressed i am. the slick design of the PSP draws your eye towards it. the huge screen is magnificant with its brilliant size and the brightness it produces. the design of where the buttons and analogs stick is good. ive heard that many people dislike this part of the PSP but to me its fine. the only thing i would change about the PSP is where you put your games. im not saying its a bad place for it, im saying its very fragile. you have to barely open it to keep it from snapping off and its a little wimpy. if i were the makers of the PSP i would have done a little better job of making it tougher or designing it a little different so that so many people would not have a problem with breaking it. beside this the whole design and look of the PSP is fantastic.

the games for the PSP are great. most games dont have the best of graphics if they need a lot of memory but for the most part most of them are pretty good. out of the games i own (daxter, star wars battlefront renegade squadron, atv off road fury blazin trails, final fantasy anniversary edition, madden 08, nba live 06, tony hawk underground 2 remix, need for speed carbon own the city, coded arms contagion, and mx vs atv untamed) i am very impressed with all of them. i will go over all the games with you below...

Daxter-very good game in my opinion. the graphics are amazing, the story is good, the gameplay is awesome, and the whole design of the game is great. the two things that stand out most though is the gameplay and graphics. for a game to be on such a small system the graphics are breath taking. it looks like it should be on a tv. the color is great and the design of everything in the game is great. the gameplay is also amazing. the adventures that daxter goes through are fun. theres always something to be doing and its different everytime. overall i give this game a 10/10.

Star Wars Battlefront:Renegade Squadron-this is a great shooter game for the psp. i am a fan of star wars and i am very impressed with this game. it has great features such as the customization of your character and guns. this adds a lot to the game in my opinion. the story is not the best and the graphics dont stand out to much but the gameplay is very fun. i would give this game an 8/10.

ATV Off Road Fury-well i cant really say to much about this game considering i havent played it yet. i ordered it off amazon and it still hasnt arrived yet. i will tell you how it is in another blog.

Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition-This game overall is good but not anything really special. The design of the game is old fashion so its not anything new. the story is great like all final fantasy games but other then that its just another game. ill give it a 6/10.

Madden 08-Wow!!! i absolutely love this game. the game doesnt have good graphics but it makes up for it in gameplay. its a good game with updated statistics of each player and team. while in a game it feels so real. the tackling is fanamonal, the voice announcers are good with unpredictable lines, the fast pace of the game is great, and just everything about it. i think its the best madden so far. 10/10.

NBA Live 06-Again another wow!!! this game has great features, updated statistics (of 06), not to shabby graphics, and great gameplay. the design of the game is good with the layouts and music. the extra features such as the 3 point challenge and slam dunk competition add a lot to this game, and the gameplay while in the game is great with the fast pace of each drive. great game...10/10.

Tony Hawk Underground 2 Remix-Once again another wow!!! the gameplay in this game is breath taking, the graphics are great, the design is amazing, and the story isnt to bad. while skating it feels like your actually doing it and the places to skate are great with tons of combo areas. tony hawk does it again...10/10.

Need For Speed Carbon: Own the City-great game in my opinion. the graphics are good, the car list is pretty good, the races are good but a little easy, and the area where you drive is pretty good. the game has a long story which is good and it keeps you playing because you want to find out what happens next. the races arent that great though. they are a little to easy in my opinion. overall though the game is pretty good...8/10.

Coded Arms Contagion-not the best game out there. the design is cool and all but its all flash. the controls are so aquard that its just plain hard and frustrating. the graphics are good but a little unrealistic. not the best game out for the psp. 5/10.

MX vs ATV Untamed-i am a fan of this series but i felt a little dissapointed with this game. the graphics are good and the design but its a little empty. the events can be extremely hard at times which makes it frustrating and then there are those that are just plain to easy. overall its not the best...7/10.

well this is what i think of the PSP and the games that i have played. if i were to rate the psp overall i would give it 100/10!!!

Well i really thought that i would jump to level 4 but i was wrong once again. im not gonna make anymore predictions because then ill just make myself look more like an idiot. but i still dont understand why im not at level4.

ok yesterday i was at level 3 with 20% exactly. now im not really sure but i know that i made at least 3 or 4 blogs yesteray which should have boosted it up a lot and i also wrote a review. talkin about the review go ahead and check it out and tell me what you think. any ways back to the subject um oh i also did a lot of forum post which should have also brought my level up. im not sure if i rated any games or did any tags but ill try that today and see if that helps on makin my level go up any faster.

now i know what you all are gonna say...why do you care so much and is the only reason your here is to get your level up. well i care because i would like to see it go up. i know it might be childish but i dont really care. its just the way i am. and no this is not the only reason i am here. i am here to talk about games which is what i mostly blog about. i dont just blog to get my level up i do it to get your opinion on things and just to poor out my thoughts about things.

I now have played this game for my psp and wow i am really impressed. the graphics arent the best but you know thats not everything. the gameplay is great imo. talkin about the gameplay i think its pretty realistic. the players hustle when they need to and they start putting pressure on key players. ill go into more details in a lil bit but also the extra game activities are cool like the 3 point competition and slam dunk competition, and just the whole atmosphere is great such as the music and design.

back to the gameplay well unlike older basketball games when you are drivin in for the layup/dunk you can just go through everyone and make an easy basket almost everytime but in this game its actually a challenge to do so. when you drive in not only are the players actually tryin to stop you but they are quite good at rejecting you (blocking your shot). also they use their body so you cant get the best shot off which i like because it feels more like a real basketball game which is how it should be. also the announcers do a pretty good job of not repeating what they say. its like they actually know whats goin on during the game instead of just saying what just happened for example...when i was playin a game the other team while on defense was not doin a good job of stopping me so the announcer kept goin back to how i was in the lead because they werent able to stop me on offense throughout the whole game. just little things like that make it feel more real.

i really like how they added the 3 point challenge because to me its a really fun feature to the game. one time while i was using steve nash and i did great. on the first round i missed 3 which is actually pretty good but it could be better which is exactly what i did in round two. i got all 30 shots in!!! it was awesome.

another good feature is the slam dunk challenge. its fun and all but to me its a little hard and confusing. hopefully i will get better and more used to it afte playin it more. but i still think that this is a really good feature.

i am really impressed for the quality of this game espicially for being on the psp. imo its a great game.

I apologize but i couldnt get the pictures up so bare with me here. who do you think is better the predator or terminator. imo its the predator.

Well i just watched the superbowl on gamespot just now. they were using madden 08 on the xbox 360 and it was the patriots aka pats versus the giants aka G-men. the game had a very slow start but it started to pick up in the 2nd half.

in the 1st half nothin exciting really happened. both teams had a slow start. the kickoff went to the patriots but they couldnt do anything with the ball on that drive. in fact, brady was sacked once and im pretty sure they wen 3 and out. not a good way to start.

when the giants got the ball they didnt do anything with it either. they atleast got one first down but were shut down quickly after that.

at the end of the 2nd quarter the first points were put up on the board by the giants. with 40 seconds left eli manning threw a very deep pass the plexico burris who was wide open in the endzone!!! what had happened on the defense was a bad case of bad timing. right when the defense was about to switch players to get a sack the opposing team through the ball which then made the switch of the player become a cornerback instead of a line man which cause him to run foward instead of covering the reciever. that is how the first points were put up on the board.

starting the second half the giants got the ball and were moving down the field very nicely until one bad pass by eli which cause an interception by the patriots. because of the one good play by the pats they were then put on a good streak. they took the ball down the field in no time and had an easy running score which then tied the game 7 all.

they then kicked the ball backed to the giants who were then forced to punt the ball away. again the pats took the ball down the field and scored which then made the pats get their first lead of the game...14 to 7.

so once again the pats kicked the ball back to the giants with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter. it was do or die here for the gaints so manning threw a long pass which was once again picked off by the pats. but this was no ordinary pick...it was a pick and a 70 yard touchdown return which closed the game off patriots 21 giants 7.

it was a good game overall but i would have liked to see a little more action in the beginning of the game. hopefully the real superbowl will be that intense at the end but have a litttle more action at the beginning.
