Hello, Home Skilletz!
It's been a while! Again. But that is surely no surprise to you all by now. :P
How has everyone been?! Can you guys believe Christmas is only 12 days away? OMG guys. O.M.G. I just finished up my Christmas shopping 2 days ago, now all I have to do is wrap everything. Which really doesn't make sense, because by the time I'm done wrapping something it looks like I've taken wrapping paper from last year's fiasco, and reused what everyone tore up. :lol: Oh well... it's the thought that counts right? :P
So, lots of gaming updates to talk about! :D Okay, maybe not *alot*, but more than usual. :P Let's see, what to talk about first? Ah! Back in June, when PSN finally came back online I had downloaded inFamous, cause you know... who doesn't like free games? I had started it and only played the first 20 minutes and got bored. Big mistake. I started playing it again about a week or 2 ago, and now I can't *stop* playing it. Haha, it's really great. I'm happy I gave it another chance, cause it really delivered this time. I suspect I'm about halfway through the game by now (I'm going for the Hero ending, I just can't be evil, even if it *is* a game :P), and I'm really excited to play inFamous 2. I was shopping with my brother-in-law at Target and they had a TV and PS3 set up, inFamous 2 was in, so I told my bro to play it so I could watch. :P Haha, he's a 360 player, so it was cool to see him kind of wish he had a PS3. Anyhow, inFamous 2 looks *really* good. Cole looks way better in that one. :P
I've also gotten myself a Christmas gift this year (:P), Deus Ex: Human Revolution!
This game is *awesome*. :D I played a little of it a few months ago, and I finally found it on sale for only $20! Which is a fantastic buy, cause this game is great. Human Revolution is *all* I've been playing the past few days, and I'm about 15 hours in. The story is really good, and so far its doing a good job at keeping me hooked. And well... Mr. Adam Jensen is also doing a very good job at that as well. :oops: He is a very handsome man, yes?
I love everything about the gameplay. The conversations, the character interaction, the combat, even the upgrading and character advancement. It's all very well put together, and very enjoyable. I also love how in almost every conversation, Adam says something like "I never asked for this.", for reasons you will have to play the game and find out yourself. So I found this picture quite funny. :P Like I said, the story is just *really* good, and I can't wait to see what it leads up to. This game is definitely getting a good review from me, and I will be getting the DLC after finishing the game.
I've also finished Uncharted 3, and it's quite possibley my Game of the Year 2011. I still have to decide between that, Dead Space 2, L.A. Noire, and maybe Deus Ex after I finish it. :P U3 is definitely the best in the series, and I highly recommend it to every PS3 player. The multiplayer is not that great, which is really sad because U2's multiplayer was fantastic. Check out my review if you haven't. ^_^ Oh, and this by far was the *best* scene in the game. :lol: :
And this too. :oops:
I've finished AC: Revelations as well, and to be completely honest, it's a disappointment. I had very high expectations for this game, and it just didn't live up to them. It's good, but a big letdown after Brotherhood. Assassin's Creed II is still the best of course. ^_^ First of all, WTF was up with Desmond?! I love him, but come on. He'd better get rid of that beard before ACIII, because it just is *not* working for him. -_- Second WTF was up with Shaun only being in the end of the game?! :x That really ticked me off. He's like... the third best character! :cry: Third, WTF! was up with that den defense crap? It just does not belong in an Assassin's Creed game. Honestly, the only thing I really enjoyed was the Desmond sequences. Now those were awesome. God, some of them were *so* frustraiting though. I think I almost busted my crontroller a few times during those. :P Oh! And the multiplayer! OMG guys! OMG! The multiplayer is so much fun! It's easily the best feature of the game. The characters are very cool, though the sentinal is the best. I use him *every* game I can. :cool: The best part though? It doesn't take more then 30 seconds to find a match. :P
I also remember telling you guys I had suspictions for ACIII, but they will have to wait, because this blog is getting a little too long, and I have to be getting my butt moving. I've got karate in lessd than an hour! :P
I will try and post a blog just for my ideas about Assassin's Creed III soon, but with Christmas so close, I might not have the time. Therefore, this may also be my last blog until after the Holidays. So if that be the case, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, and a wonderful New Year! ^_^
P.S. : Don't ask about the blog title. xD
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
&
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

VGN Is Back! For Now... =P

Can I just say something please?

Bird Lives!
by VideoGamerNerd on Comments
Yeah... bird lives! At least, thats what my Sobe bottle cap said yesterday. :lol:
Hello, everyone! :D
Hope you are all doing well! I know I am. These past few days here have been beautiful! Any weather where I'm able to wear flip flops, jeans and a tank top, is fantastic. 8) At the beginning of the week though, we had a touch of Winter! It was in the 30's and 40's for a while. I'm happy for some warm weather, but I'm not looking forward to the 80 degree weather we are suppose to have all next week. :P
In other news... my last blog I met a guy. I thought we might be able to get together or something but, well... now I want nothing to do with him. You see, the lady that owns the store, I though he was her son. Apparently not. :| He's like my age, and he's her boyfriend. And she's like... my Mom's age. :| Now, maybe it's just me (I seriously hope not), but I think thats just plain gross! So... once again, I'm back in the market, so to speak. :lol:
Yesterday was Friday! :D What's so special about Friday, you may ask? Well, it's really the only day I have to myself, besides the occasional free Saturday, and I like to spend it doing some shopping. 8) When I have the money that is... :P I went to a few thrift stores with my Mom and Grandma, as usual. I found some really cool books I'm excited to read! I found Duel at a yard sale. It's a historical book about Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr. It sounds really cool. 8) I also got a medieval book called The Religion. I haven't really looked into it, but the cover art looks awesome. :P At Wal Mart (of course), I picked up my first Sarah Dessen book! :D
Yay! :D You can pretty much guess at what type of book it is by looking at the cover. :P I've had a lot of friends recommend them to me, so I'm going to give them a chance, and I'm super excited about reading it. Also, look what I finally got in the mail a few days ago! :D
Ranger's Apprentice, and Warriors: Omen of the Stars! :D I just started The Emperor of Nihon-Ja, and I'm only on chapter 4. :P I'm kind of scared to read it, because you can very well see on the front cover of the the book, it reads "The Final Battle". :cry: I don't want it to be the final battle! Ranger's Apprentice has been my favorite book series forever, and I'm not ready for it to end. Warriors will probably go on forever though... what is this? They're 28th book? :lol: And there are tons more coming out later in the year!
Speaking of later in the year... WHAT THE FUDGE IS UP WITH MASS EFFECT 3 BEING DELAYED UNTIL NEXT YEAR?! :x Seriously? :x :x :x Bah! Humbug! :x I would have much rather waited longer for Uncharted 3, or dare I say it, Assassin's Creed: Revelations! :x Also, WHAT THE FUDGE IS UP WITH ANOTHER EZIO GAME?! :x
Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited for another AC game, but come on! This will be Ezio Auditore's third freakin' game! Ezio is awesome, and I also heard that Altair is somewhat coming back as well, but I was really looking forward to some new characters. Maybe even playing the entire game as Desmond. I love Assassin's Creed, but they can't keep making all these spin-offs. It's getting annoying. I don't want the series to end, but I want to see the final confrontation, you know?
*Sigh* Calm down VGN...
Bah. :x
So...PSN is still down, dangit. I want to play with my friends! :cry: Two weeks is far too long! I mean, I know they are working on getting the security system up and running, and working on making the online services better, but seriously! Okay, I really need to stop saying that... but seriously! TWO WEEKS! :x
I have been playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 on my PS3.
I beat the game, and now I'm playing on Hard mode. After that I plan to finish the game on Unleashed. Sounds scary doesn't it? I'm surprised with myself for only playing it once, because I'm really loving it even a third time trough.:P I also gave Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars a rent. It was fun, but I didn't get very far. :P My favorite is still The Original Trilogy. 8) Speaking of Star Wars, May 4th was Star Wars Day! :D That is just plain AWESOME! "May the Fourth be with you"? That was cool freakin' cool! :P
Oh! While we are talking about games (this is GameSpot...), I told you in my last blog, I was going to start showing off some of my favorites games, and my collection. It's not much, but being one of my favorite games series EVER, here is my Mass Effect collection! :D
My Assassin's Creed collection is much more epic, I assure you. :P I was just to lazy to get *all* of my AC stuff together for a picture. I will do that in my next blog. Maybe. :P
I haven't really done anything very exciting this week, I'm sorry to say. Thursday I watched The Princess Diaries movies with my Mom. :lol: 8) Thats about it... :P Next week, I'm going to St. Charles though! So I'll have some great pictures, and stories to tell by then, I'm sure! :D
Well, I'm sorry to say, I must take my leave now! My sister just called, and we are having them over here for dinner tonight! :D So I need to go clean the house! :P
Happy Early Mother's Day! :D
Thank you for reading, and God Bless!

Strangers To Friends
by VideoGamerNerd on Comments
Hello, Home Skilletz!
How is everyone? :) My day has been great! Remember a few blogs ago I told you guys about this old Antique shop called Sullivan's? Well, I know I said I hated it, and that I would never go back, but... well I did, and am extremely happy I did! :D This is why:
What's so special about this card, you may ask? Well, I met someone. :D The lady that owns the store, her son works there, and went I went up to pay for some stuff, he asked me about my amazing Mass Effect 2 shirt. :P We talked, and I asked him if he had an online ID, and he wrote his XBLive GamerTag on the back of this card. :D I wish I had Live at my house, because I want to add him so bad! :P I never really payed much attention to him, and for that I feel kind of bad... he seems like a really nice person. And he's cute. :oops: :P
So yeah, I do have an Xbox Live account now! I just don't have it at my house. :P I'm putting back money so I can get the wireless adapter, then I'll be set. I sent some friends requests to some of my GS friends, ones that I remembered had a Live account anyway. :P So accept me! :D Please! :P
I haven't really been doing much else, since my last blog two weeks ago. Easter went rather well. We had a big family get together like we always do, and had a fantastic time. :) I went out shopping for the first time in ages yesterday, and bought tons of clothes, and picked up Force Unleashed II on the PS3. 8) I've also been playing Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. There are lots of Gold Trophies in there! :shock: I also beat Mass Effect 2 on the PS3, and I was amazing even a seventh time trough! 8) I swear, I still get goosebumps whenever I play Suicide Mission, and the end of the game. Such epicness cannot be matched. Lair of the Shadow Broker was very cool! I was happy with the way it ended, and I'm sure it will have a big impact on Mass Effect 3. Also, Ferron is cool. 8) Kasmi, and Zeead were really cool as well.
Speaking of Mass Effect, did anyone see what was GameInformer's May edition?! :D
*Epic music plays in background*
Aaaaaahhhhh! It's Commander Shepard!!!! :D I was at GameStop when I seen this, and absolutely *had* to get it! I had already bought the Mass Effect 2 game guide with my money though, so for Easter my Mom got me the Pro membership at GameStop, and a year subsciption to GI magazine. :D I know, she's awesome. 8) But, guess what was even *better* than seeing Commander Shepard on the cover?
IT'S KAIDAN!!!!!!!!! :D I think I died a little when I seen his picture! :lol: He looks even more sexier than I remember him in Mass Effect. 8) I hope he is in ME3 a heck of a lot more than he was in ME2, or I swear I'm going to kill. :x I also read that Ashley, Garrus, Liara, Anderson, and Legion are back for sure. No news on Tali of Thane yet. :( I stared my female Shepard over in ME2, I'm planning to stay faithful to Kaidan Alenko this time... sorry Thane. :P
Oh! For a while I've been wanting to do this idea I've had for a few of my blogs! I was going to take some pictures of my game collection, favorite games, and game collectibles, etc. I don't have the time to do it in this blog, but I will in the next! :D
And whats with this PSN outage? I mean come on it's been almost 2 weeks! At first we hear nothing, then they tell us that all of our personal info, including credit card numbers are compromised? I was ticked. :P But, now that Sony has been giving us daily updates on whats happening, I'm okay with it now. I just hope it doesn't take them much longer to get PSN back up and running, because I want to get the Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2. :x
Well,thats about it for tonight. I don't have much else to talk about, and I want to do some... things. :P
Thank youfor reading, and God Bless!

This Is The Story Of How I Died...
by VideoGamerNerd on Comments
No, not really. :P Though with my recent inactivity, you'd think I was dead. But I'm still alive, I promise. :D :P
Hello again, Home Skilletz. :) Again, I'm really sorry for not being here. You see I've been enjoying some very beautiful weather here, and of course the usual Resident Evil 5, and Uncharted 2 gaming sessions I have with my awesome friend Marko. 8)
We've finished the game on Normal, and so now we're on our second playthrough, and we are going for the Veteran Trophy. :D Playing with a friend in RE5 is a blast, but sometimes it can also make the game more difficult. For instance, during the final level in the Boiler Area, there are these giant bugs that come out of nowhere after you pull a set of levers. Marko and I both kept wanting to go a different direction, and wanted to try different things, resulting in a very bad level score due to dying so many times. :P I think our total deaths in the one level was like... 23? Yeah. So we didn't get any S ranking. :P But it was still a lot of fun! I played as Chris, and Marko was Sheva. xP We have also played through Lost in Nightmares a few times together, and we've completed it on Professional. 8) That time though, I made Marko be Jill, cause she is the one who has to do all the work in the level. xD I think today we are going to try the Desperate Escape DLC. I get to be Jill though! :x I hate stupid Josh. :P So yeah, we are definitely going for the Resident Evil 5 Platinum. :D
So as you can tell, I haven't been doing much. I did go out and buy Tangled, Tron: Legacy movie and soundtrack, Pirates of the Caribbean, and lots of new Summer clothes. :P
Tangled is awesome! :D One of the best movies ever! Flynn is definitely the best Disney 'Prince' ever. And Pascal is also awesome. 8) I think I've watched the movie about 50 times now since it came out. xD It's addicting! I love it, it's a very cute, funny movie. :)
Tron: Legacy is also very good! Once I seen it, I was so regretting not going to see it in theaters. The music was flippin' epic, and it would have been amazing in 3D on the big screen. Like I said, I loved the music so much I went out and bought the soundtrack as well. I don't know I why I bought Pirates, I've just been in the mood to watch it lately. :P I want to get the Tangled soundtrack too! I love all the songs, (excluding Mother Knows Best) and the song in the credits as well. :D I also want the game on the DS, and Tron for the PS3. Yeah I know, I want lots of things. :P
Oh, next month we are going back to St. Charles! :D It's a small historic town somewhere in Missouri, it's fairly close to St. Louis. I haven't been there for a few years, so I'm super excited about going back! It should be beautiful down there at this time of year, and I'm definitely bringing my camera to get some pictures. I'll probably post them my blog. :D Here are a few pictures I took last time I was down there. :)
There are lots of little shops and restaurants in St. Charles, and this place has Italian sodas! They are amazing, I will bring all of you back one when I return. :D
This is my favorite picture. :D It's from the one of the gardens outside a shop. We sat out here and looked at all the stuff we bought last time. :P
My car! :D No, not really. :P You can't see it from this view, but there was a teddy bear in the driver's eat of the car. xP
My turtle friend! We named him Austin. xP
There are more pictures, and I'll post them in in album if you guys want to see all of them. St' Charles is really an awesome place, and I can't wait to go back! :D My next blog probably won't be until then... :P I don't really have much more to talk about, so this blog is going to be very short. :P
I haven't finished Dragon Age II yet, I know I know, I'm a slacker. I got Assassin's Creed II for the PS3 last month, and I almost got the Platinum. I got Dante's Inferno, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Mass Effect 2, and haven't touched them. :P But, I will get to them all very soon because I'm not letting myself by any more games until I finish what I do have. Yeah... I'm getting tired of blogging now. :P
Oh, before I forget, I want to thank all of you guys for all the comments on my last blog! :D It's nice to know you guys care, and I want to say thank you for a the congratz. :)
Before I go, I want to show you guys this incredibly cute picture I woke up to a few days ago... :P
Apparently Frodo likes to hide in my blankets when it's cold outside. :P
Okay, now enough blog! I'm tired! :P
Thank you for reading, and God Bless!
