Well, here I am again after almost a year has passed by.  I kind of got out of the habit of writing in this blog and sort of just blabbered on and on about video games in my real journal I keep on my computer.  But, I think I've been spending too much of my talking in my journal about video games, so in order to cut down on that, I'm going to breathe new life into this Blog in the hopes all that video game venom will pour out of my system.  So, shall we begin?

I recently bought a PSP.  It's really cool and I like it alot, I just kind of wish there was a bigger selection of games out there right now for it.  But anyhow, right now I own Twisted Metal: Head On and Death Jr.  I've already bought a 256 MB memory stick duo for it.  I've put a few songs on there, some random pictures, and a few music videos.  It's really cool how it can do all that stuff AND surf the net too.  I think that's one of the main reasons why I like it so much is because I can use it to surf the net.  I know that may sound stupid, because I have a computer to do that with, but the fact that I can basically "hold the net" in my hands seems pretty awesome to me.

Twisted Metal:  Head On is a good game I really like it.  I just wish there was more of a mission variety between the different characters.  So far from what I've played and I'm assuming it will be this way for the rest of the characters, but you play the same levels and face the same bosses.  I just wish maybe that their were different branching story lines to follow.  But ah well, you really can't complain when a game comes along that gets rid of your built up road rage.  I've already beaten it with Sweet Tooth, Dark Tooth, and right now I'm working on it with Cousin Eddy.

Death Jr. was actually the main game I wanted for the PSP when I got interested in getting one.  Unfortunetly, when I bought my PSP from Wal-Mart, they didn't have any Death Jr's for sale.  Which is why I got Twisted Metal.  It was kind of hard to find some good reviews for Death Jr., as it seemed like everyone was putting it down.  But it just seemed like a really cool game to me, like something that I just knew I would like.  And I do.  It only took me a few days to beat the game, but it was very fun.  Other than the Lord of the Rings games on my Game Boy Advance, I'd have to say that Death Jr. is my fav portable game.  The action was great, non stop fun, the platforming was OK, but not as bad as everyone made it out to be.  The story was funny and the character of Death Jr. himself just looks cool swinging his scythe around.  Just goes to show you that you can't always trust what the media says.  Sometimes you just have to form your own opinions and not let someone else decide what it is you like about things.

Today while I was off and with nothing to do, I played Jedi Academy for the PC.  I've already played through it and beaten it, but this time I'm going to be a strictly dark jedi *evil laugh*.  I'm investing all my force upgrade points into the dark side of the force.  I just want to see how the game turns out when you've chosen the darkside.

But I guess the main thing I played today was good old Diablo 2.  I bought the game a long time ago and never got around to playing it until recently.  I played a good bit of it tonight and even got around to finishing the first Act.  So I see that as good progress towards beating an old game that I never got around to finishing.  It's a pretty kick ass game too, even if the graphics are really, really outdated.  But I really don't seem to mind because the gameplay is so good.

Sometime soon I plan on starting a new game of Fable on the PC.  I beat it once before as a good guy, and like Jedi Academy, I want to play through it again as a evil character.  I want to grow horns!  Hehehehee

I told myself I was going to watch The Crow on my PSP tonight but I never got around to doing it.  So far that's the only movie I've bought for my PSP.  There really aren't any other movies that I feel like buying for it.  Except, I think I saw somewhere that they were going to release Star Wars:  Episode III on UMD, and if they do, I'll probably get that because that was such a good movie.

Well, until I find more boring crap to talk about, I bid thee farewell...
