What game to get

I'm looking for a new game. I'm currently playing games I own, but I want Fallout 3. But do I wait for a game of the year version to come out with the new add ons or get it now and download the add ons? I'm sure they are going to come out with a game of the year. So I'm asking those out there what I should do. Get it now or wait?

Used or New? What are your thoughts?

So for over a month I have been out of work. Looking passionately but not getting anything. I have gotten a few interview request and things were looking up, then the email. "The position has been closed at this time" So then I'm back at the beginning sending resume after resume. So that's how things are going in that area.

As for games, I have not been spending money and getting a new game as soon as it comes out for I have plenty of games to play right now. But there are a couple of games I was looking of getting, however I'm not sure if I should go the used route or new and wait till it comes down in price. But most games, the really popular ones, tend to stay in the 60 dollar range for a while.

I generally keep the game I get and do not trade it out once I have played it and beaten the game etc. So I am curious what other folks do. Do they get just new games? Wait till the price drops? Buy used or both? Does it depend on the game whither you get it used or new?

Then I was wondering if the game is used, can you be picky and not get it if the game is worn or scratched, missing the manual etc. I know that you can purchase protection for a used game, but to me that is a waste of money.

Tell me your thoughts should I go the route of a used game?

So Much for 2009

Well the one thing that has not ever happened to me happened last week. I'm currently on leave bonding with my new baby boy and I received a text message from a friend at work. The company is letting people go. So I talked to him and he said that he didn't see my name on the list, but I had a feeling, and just before I went on leave I took all of my stuff home from work.

Well the call came shortly after, my supervisor was on the phone and he sounded upset. After seven years, gone. So I have a nice severance package and stuff, but right now with thousands upon thousands looking for jobs as well its gonna be tough. So every night I have been looking and applying. So fingers crossed I hope something happens soon.

My attempt to write a blog

Well I see my friends here on Gamespot write blogs, and my wife does a family blog. So I'm thinking of attempting to write a blog once a month. This will give me practice with writing and perhaps will make me a better writer. So just to let you know that the first few blogs won't probably be much. I don't see myself being as good as 123home123, he always writes good and is very detailed with what he has to say. I especially like seeing what he has to say about Battlestar Galactica.

So where to begin, well I'm sure I can speak for all when I say that 2008 was not a good year for myself and my family. But I did end the year on a high note, my baby boy was born in December. Well let tell you it was not at all what either my wife nor I expected with the work that came with him. I will post some pictures soon of my little boy and perhaps most of the blogs I write will be mostly about him.

So I'm hoping that 2009 will be a better year for us all, although it doesn't seem to be getting a good start with the loss of jobs, the closing of businesses, the endless wars in the middle east.

Well that's it for this round, perhaps the next time I post I will have more to say.

I need help.....

I need help....I'm playing Call of Duty 4 on verteran and I'm stuck in the TV room on the "Charlie Don't Surf" Mission. Somebody help!!! Its endless guys and no mater what I do....I either die by granades or die by the guys over whelming me.

I also need help with multiplayer, I'm not the best player out there.....guys run circles around me, but I enjoy playing the game. Will someone teach me to play better on the multiplayer? I'm looking for friends to just hang out and play for a bit on the game. Not guys giving me a hard time cause I'm not doing awesome and getting 30 kills. To me just having fun is better than telling someone they suck.

Happy Holidays

I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. That I hope everyone enjoys their time with friends and family.

Call of Duty 4: Multiplayer Beta

So for a week I have played the Call of Duty 4 Multiplayer Beta. I love the game, I'm not much on multiplayer shooters when I'm playing with people I don't know. But I'm very impressed with this game and I am looking forward to its release in November.

If anyone of my friends on Gamespot has the Multiplayer Beta Key and is playing, and would like to met up with me on Live, send me a message on here and a friend request on Xbox. My gamertag is the same as my name on Gamespot, WolfCmnder.

Status

So while the 360 is being repaired, I have brought out the orginal xbox. I'm playing Halo 2 and preparing to spend the weekend playing Halo 2 with my son. I was thinking 24 hours of Halo, and see if we can beat the game in a co-op on legendary.

Well....

OK, I contacted Microsoft, and it is 3 to 5 business days to receive the shipping box to send the 360 to them for repair. Then send via UPS, I'm looking at about 3 to 5 business days for Microsoft to receive. Then about 15 to 20 business days for repair and return. So all and all I'm thinking late August or early September. Fine by me, I have PC games to keep me busy. My son who dislikes PC games will be board out of his mind. 8)

No trouble from Microsoft as far as getting it repaired, evidently this is occurring a lot. Which brings up the question. Why didn't Microsoft do something before this got out of hand?

The evil red light

It happened. the red light. I'm surprised for things were working fine and I went to turn it on today, and there it was. So I am in the process of contacting support. Wish me luck
