WOW!! - Great selection of games in October 2006!

I was searching through Gamestop yesterday and found that a whole bunch of new games were released for each system. I was excited to finally see a nice variety of RPG's now on the market.

Phantasy Star Universe

.Hack GU Rebirth V1

Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Justie League Heroes

Devil Summoner

FFXII

Finally I have a nice slection of new games to get. Has anyone played any of these yet? I know they were just released but I know some of you buy these games the second they are released.  I will get FFXII on Tuesday as I reserved the collectors edition, but I think I will try Phantasy Star Universe next. Any suggestions?

I jumped out of a plane - 14000 feet high!!!

Thats right ladies and gentlemen, I jumped out of a moving plane at 14,000 feet and did my very first SkyDive.

I got the DVD and watched it again last night and WOW it was intense. When you first get to the door of the plane your like OMG I'm really doin this.... then BAM!  you out the door and falling to the Earth at 140 miles per hour! After about 30-35 seconds the Tandom jumper attached to me pulls the cord and the parachute opens. I glided down to the Earth about 6 minutes later and slid to a stop. We did a few spins in the parachute and he even let me take control for a few minutes.

If anyone hasen't done this yet, go out and do it now! Its such an adreneline rush and you have a whole new veiw on life its amazing!

OK thats it for today... just wanted to share!

I will be in a Video Game Magazine!

Well, it's about time I wrote another blog and since I seem to be stuck at level 20 for a while I will have to come up with some new posts.

I have some good news!!!  I contacted Video Game Collecter Magazine about their articles on collecters around the world and told them about my personal video game collection. The editor emailed me back and wants to use me in their "Collecters Spotlight" section in a future issue. I was so excited and flattered. This weekend I will take out and display all my Video game merchandise and take pictures for the article. I find this to be a great privledge and I am honored if they do indeed decide to use me.

Nothing is definate yet but it was still exciting to be contacted and asked to send in my personal info. I will let everyone know when a decision is made and which magazine issue to look for and buy! :D

Next RPG adventure - Help me Decide!

Hey everyone... I was bored at work and wanted to write a blog based on which RPG I should play next based on your opinions. I am about 1 hour away from finishing Wild Arms 4 (Great game by the way) so I need to decide which game to play next. Here are the choices:

Shadow Hearts From the New World

Kingdom Hearts 2

Suikoden III, IV & V

Shining Force Neo

Magna Carta

Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2

I own all these games so it's just a matter of picking which one to start. If you have played any of these and can offer and sound advice I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

RPG'S and INDIGO PROPHESY!

Hey everyone... I was bored at work and decided to write a small blog on the most recent games I've been playing. I am mostly into RPG's and played some good ones this past month but as I will describe below are we sacrificing longer games for better graphics?

Grandia 3 - Great game and story but way too short and the game was 2 disks! Beat in less than 40 hours.

Shining Tears - Fun RPG game but once again too short but the 2 against hundreds at once was fun. Having hundreds of mindless enemies throwing themselves on my sword never gets boring. You never fully get to use your supporting characters.

Indigo Prophesy - Great idea for a game... you control the murderer and the cops chasing you. Unique in that you choose the convo topics and that has a say in what happens next. But i had the guide so once again game was too short. Great story and intense action sequences.

Wild Arms 4 - Just started playing this one, only about 2 hours into it. Seems good so far and the RPG elements are pretty good. Interesting battles though with a HEX system. Still getting used to that.

Please read my reviews on the above games and I will add more as I start new games. I also just got Kingdom Hearts 2 and Tomb Raider Legend which I will start after Wild Arms 4. 

Happy Birthday to me!!!

As my mom constantly reminds me... at 9:48pm on June 7th, 1976 I was born. So that means that today at 9:48pm I will officially be 30 yeard old. Yes I have entered that magical phase of life... the Thirties!!

Best part of it is that I dont feel old or depressed about it, to me its just another number or chapter in my life. I feel good actually!

Well, thats all I wanted to say... I will be at Level 20 forever it seems so I figured a new Blog was needed to acknowledge this great milestone in my life.

Level 20 Metal Slime - Profile Update!

Finally made it to Level 20 and became the Metal Slime from one of my all time favorite RPG's.  At least this level name is something I am familiar with.

Not much new on the game front as I havent made any new NES purchases. I'm almost done with Grandia III and its just as good if not better than its previous versions. I'm still trying to get Kingdom Hearts 2 & Suikoden V and plan on playing those real soon.

On a final note, my birthday is getting closer and closer as I will be turning that magical age of 30 in June. Feels good to have seen the evolution of gaming history and I feel privledged to have lived through it and been a aprt of it.

Level 19 Gitaroo Man - Profile Update!

Well once again I must have found the magic points system because I flew through Level 18 in 3 days. I wish I knew what I was doing right to gain levels so fast, but I did lose 2 Badges and I dont know how. I kinda liked having the Popular and Top Reviewers badges.

I have to ask what a Gitaroo man is though, don't remember him either. But it might be my old age. lol

I was able to get 2 Classic NES GBA games this weekend, Metroid and Castlevania. Old school games that never become boring or old but now are portable!

OK, well I guess thats it for now... Lets go METS!!!

Level 18 Flicky - Profile Update!

First of all... someone please tell me WTF a Flicky is? I mean, I have been playing games since the dawn of time and I dont recall ever hearing the word Flicky before. Oh well.. I've moved on to Level 18 anyway.

I was able to get Grandia 3, Shadow Hearts From the New World, Shining Force GBA & Shining Force Neo this past week which is huge for me because these will keep me busy until Kingdom Hearts II drops in price and if ever Final Fantasy XII come out. Ebay is my best friend!

As for my ever growing NES collection I am up to over 200 different titles with the latest editions being Bomberman & Double Dragon both complete in their boxes. I also was able to get for the first time in my life a Genesis system. I never owned one because I had the SNES instead. I got some really great games along with it: Shining Force II, Phantasy Star II & III, Street Fighter Championship, Fantasia & 4 others. Not bad for only $32!

Well... thats about it for right now... see you at Level 19!

Level 17 Profile Update - Minus World

Holy Crap! That was the fastest Level advancement I have ever seen. Two days ago I just made it to Level 16 and now I hit Level 17 and I wasnt even online all Weekend.

I must have hit some magic point system by accident and got a ton of percentage all at once. Not that I'm complaining but it's just weird. LOL

Nothing too new on the game front as I continue to save money for Grandia 3, Shining Force Neo, Kingdom Hearts II and Shadow Hearts From the New World.

See you guys on the Boards!
