Just a real quick blog. After FOUR YEARS AND SIX MONTHS I AM BACK. I happened to remember while perusing Gamespot that I used to have an account here...and as luck would have it I remembered my log-in like it was yesterday so I am back! ANYWAY, that is all. :D

1000 and a good 5030
by Uma-Chan on Comments
YAY, got my first full 1000 achievement points for a game. I finally finished up Fight Night Round 3 and I got the full 1000/1000 to get my gamescore up to 5030. It's taken me a whole month, but I finally hit 5000+ :lol: a stupid acomplishment..but hey, you gotta start somewhere.
in other news, i don't have XBL Gold because my subscription ran out and i need to buy some more cards..or something, also, the battlefield: bad company demo comes out june 5th, give it a try because i'm gonna need people to play it when i get the game on june 23rd. anyway, that's it for this short blog..just wanted to report in. :lol: see you folks later!
New 360, easy achievements, and customer service...
by Uma-Chan on Comments
Well, I guess it's time I jump on the 360 problemz wagon. Today, at 9:53AM, I got myself another 360, since my first one sounded like it had a **** vaccum in it's disk drive and it kept on overheating. I still had my three month warranty at Wal-Mart (today is week three of the first month) and I replaced my crappy 360 for an AWESOME new one, that purrs like a kitten.
Also, I started playing GH3. AWESOME game, it's really gotten me to start to listen to old-school rock and roll and it makes me feel pretty damn cool when I have that wireless Gibson guitar in my hands, rocking out. :lol: My only gripe is the fact that I don't have a second controller to rock out in co-op. I know you can use a regular 360 controller, but it's just not the same. :( en another note, Fight Night Round 3 has some of the easiest achievment points EVER..but a part of me died inside when I had to DELETE all of my hardrive's save data so I could return it................................and now I have to play through that horrible carrer mode so I can unlock the rest of the achievements, it'll be easy though because I learned how to cheat the computer on easy and win EVERYTIME. :D
And FINALLY, customer diservice. I mentioned above that I got my 360 replaced at Wal-Mart. Everything was fine, and I was stoked to get myself a new 360, only problem was the FINE FOLKS at customer service who seemed to treat me like a damn freeloader because I had bought the 360 in pretty bad shape (someone bought and returned it the same day that I bought it, I assume they swaped their **** xbox with a brand new one) and they kept giving me some bull about how it wasn't registering at the service counter..EVEN THOUGH, I bought the freaking thing two weeks prior at the Electronics department. In the end, I got myself a great new 360, some respect lost for the customer diservice at Wal-Mart.
Well, that's it for this journal post, I'll keep you folks up to date with my 360 achievements, game completions and whatever else I can think of.
Back on the Gamespot Train!

Well, it's been TOO long since my last journal post. I think it's time for another, anyone agree? I thought so! Where to start? Wow..I can't even find a good place to start because there's been so much that's happened that I can't even choose a good starting point. I guess I can start at this point in my life.
School's almost over, again. That's right, I'm finishing up my Junior year of high school and next year I'll be at the top of the food chain at my school. I'm totally psyched about becoming a Senior because I know I'll be having lots of fun and enjoying life (getting myself a car, driver's license and a job!) I am also taking the SAT test the day after school is over. It'll be tough, I assume, but I think I'll be able to pull off a pretty good grade if I just focus. The only thing that sucks is having to be at the testing school at 7:45 in the morning.....yeah, that's too early for a gamer...and what's worse, it's too early for a guy who doesn't know where the school is..and doesn't know if he'll be getting a ride. :(
Onto other news, I finally got myself an Xbox 360. It's the ONE and ONLY thing I've actually wanted, and I am enjoying it SO FREAKING MUCH! I swear I keep hearing that little noise that pops up whenever you unlock an achievement when I lay my head down to go to sleep. :lol: I've played a few good games, namely CoD4, Halo 3, and GTAIV. I liked them all for their own personal reasons and I can't wait to keep my 360 gaming going on for years to come. If anyone wants to add me from the GS Community, my GT is: CaM3LZ
That's pretty much it for this journal posting. I'll be lurking the forums, so find me there and let's have a good time!
Can't sleep! blog time!
by Uma-Chan on Comments
6:30 in the morning...and I can't sleep, I guess it's time to feed your brains with another journal entry! :)
Well, about 9 days until I go back to school, a Junior this year (11th grade) and that's AWESOME! to say the least..since I'm only a year away from finishing highschool after this year, and this is also my final year of Science, if I pass this year anyway...umm..can't wait! I'm really excited to begin the new year!
I went to the dentist's on the 3rd of August..and I have to get four teeth from the back of my mouth pulled..first appointment is on the 31st..CAN'T WAIT!....
Does anyone else get excited the night before the first day of school? :lol:
And one final question, why can't most people take a joke nowadays? If anyone has an answer/opinion..please share, I'd like to get your take on it!
That's it for this blog, everyone have a good day/night and be good!
Being bored= random blog!
by Uma-Chan on Comments
I don't like being bored...since it usually makes me mad ( Don't know why..) and I get easily tired too..and sleeping= for the weak. So, I thought I'd make a journal entry to somehow end the boredom. :D
I got myself an iPod finally (my bro's..but I'm not giving it back to him! :D ) it's 30 good gigs of music...and I don't even have one gig filled yet. :lol: ! I need suggestions folks, I'll listen to anything, as long as the song/artist is good..so, give me as many songs/artists as you can think of!
Also, I was supposed to be in Michigan yesterday, but family problems forced my family to cancel the trip..and, I don't really care since I didn't want to go to Micigan (it's WAY too boring there) so I get to stay home and enjoy the rest of my summer! :D
Uhm..E3 was rad! Except Nintendo's Conference...I thought it was bit flat..(no Nin' fanboys/girls attack me) and I didn't really care to much for it. Sony's Conference made me want to grab a PS3, but, I'm not..since I want a 360 first and foremost.
The games were awesome and Killzone was freaking sweet! So was Assasin's Creed..I want that game. :lol:
That's it for this journal entry..my friend's coming over soon and we're going to go play soccer..so, see you folks laterrr!!!
So much hate towards such a great man..why?
by Uma-Chan on Comments
As most of you probably know, Chris Benoit is dead, along with his wife and son...and the police are calling it a 'murder/suicide'...and are accompanying it with 'Roid Rage'..now, I'm not really knowledgeable with the whole story, because I can't even begin to believe that Chris would commit such a act of violence towards his family..
I've been around sites, and people are just codemning this man to hell without a second thought...like his whole wreslting carrer was nothing just because some police officers and media are saying that he killed his family...and I can't even get that into my head for the simple fact that he was a great man in the ring and out...he always brought 110% to the ring...and he never seemed like the kind of man to actually murder someone..why is there such hate for him all of a sudden? yes, his family is dead, BUT, do we for sure know he did it? The evidence seems to point at him, but I just can't believe any of it, and until I actually hear what happened from his own mouth, i'll always hold Chris Benoit in high regards and high respect..and that may make me look like an **** for not caring about his family, but it's not even that..
I am saddened that his son and wife are dead, but I can't just jump ship and start hating on Chris until I know everything...and I hope him and his family R.I.P, and whatever judgement is passed on him from people, atleast..think for a second..then decide.
Now that i've gotten that out of the way, I was thinking of introducing a new segment in my 'AWESOME' blog. :lol:
We've all had our first times doing something, be it riding a bike..learning to swim..and I was thinking about doing a segment where a person or people would share their experience with whatever they tried for the first time, no matter how big or small it may be..it'll be cleverly called 'My First Experience' and I should have a debut of my first experience..later today, if I can think of something good to start it off with..if any of you have any experiences that you'd like to share, feel free to drop a line and let it be known...I know i'd love to know about them, and who knows...other people might share similar things and we can all be a big happy family! :D
Small update about the upcoming school year + games..
by Uma-Chan on Comments
Well, I got my report card today and it found out I passed all my classes and am going to 11th grade! :D :D :D
also, my friend is going to the 11th grade too, so even more fun is going to be had! :D
Also, i'm stuck on Conker...i'm lava surfing, and Cold Fear got boring...so, i'm done with that for a day or three
one last question, can anyone tell me the name of this song from these lyrics; "when the moon and the stars hit the sky, i'll be there" if anyone can give me some kind of hint, i'd be happy, and if not..thanks for trying atleast. :)
Until next time, Uma............................o.u.t
Work+Games+ Summmmmmmmmmer Break and other stuff
by Uma-Chan on Comments
Yesterday, I got the chance to make some extra money this summer. I actually worked, and it was a great experience, except throwing up. My friend came over to my house at about 12:30PM and he told me to get ready to go to work. Turns out we got a chance to work with my friend's dad's friend, Jim. :D
Jim goes to job sites and he cuts down tree's that people want gone, and yesterday we got a chance to do that. :D So we arrive at the place, and we introduce ourselves to Jim and unload all the equipment from his truck. The tree was huge, and the man who was paying said he wanted the tree cut because of all the fuzzy's that fall from it.
At first, the job was easy, Jim cut the branches while my friend, Jacob and I pulled them back to his truck so his friend and my friend's dad could sort the tree's into fire wood ( another dude was coming to take all the firewood away) and we also took the logs and put them into wheelbarrow's to put where the firewood was. After about an hour or two, I was getting into the job, and I had noticed that there were two branches that were lying near the base of the tree, and I wanted to take them away so we didn't have more work to do..WELL..
I didn't realize that Jim was cutting a thick ass branch at the time, and I was just about two move the two branches away, when the one Jim was cutting fell and landed right on my lower back. :D It didn't hurt honestly, just winded the crap outta' me, and I had to take a breather for a second. After we were finally done at the job site, I wasn't feeling to well ( too much exposure to the sun, I get headaches quick) and we drove to the dump, where we were going to drop off all the tree branches and other loose ends, I couldn't do it honestly since I was throwing up chips and water..( didn't have a good breakfast, since my friend woke me up so suddenly)
We got paid, and I got 40 dollars, since Jim pays 10 dollars an hour. :D
Once it was done, I was beat tired, but it was a great experience..plus, I got to pull a tree over. :D !
I haven't gotten a chance to play a good game in a while, and two days ago I bought Indigo Prophecy, since i've wanted it for a good while now. I beat the game, and got both endings, and the game was SO good, from the way the story was unfolded to the characters that made it look good. I'm going to buy two games today ( Cold Fear and some Conker game..can't remember the name, it's for Xbox) and I was wondering if anyone can reccommend either of them. :)
Before I forget, SUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!...k, that's that. :D
Anaheim owns the NHL now! :D 4-1 series win against the Sens' :D I wish the Cavs' would do something against the Spurs, since I kinda' sorta'..don't like them. :D
That's it for this blogg, i'll post one later probably. :D
Two days+ Other stuff
by Uma-Chan on Comments
Today's Tuesday, and tha means only one thing..I gots two days of school left for this year! w000t!
Week's been great so far, seeing as how i've gotten out of school early yesterday and today since I have NO work to make-up and we're pretty much watching movies/cutting up frogs/ or hanging out with our friends at school. Today we had a chance to cut some frogs up in my Biology class..I didn't do it because I left school way early, but..if I would've stuck around, i'd probably have done it.
As far as I know, i've passed all my classes..seeing as how in my French class..I got the highest grade on the final ( 93%) and the teacher did a 7 point curve for everyone because 93+7=? and in my History final I only got 70/75 questions right...i'm a bit upset since I really wanted to do better. :(
I'm also without a computer for a few weeks now, since my sister wrecked my computer..and I won't be able to get back on until: 1. my mom decides to get me that Windows Vista disk.. and 2: She buys me a new computer. One's the better choice, but it's her call in the end. I have to use my brother's computer for a little bit..until someone comes up with a better idea.
Well, that's it for this blog entry, hope to keep more rolling quicker, see you folks later! :D
