Sorry to my unions for not being really active this past week, but I forgot to mention that it has been homecoming week.  It is awesome, and I'll talk about it more when it is over.  I'll get back to regular posting Sunday.

First off, I have over a thousand posts.  No big deal to some, but most of my posts are thought provoking and of decent length, so this is an accomplishment for me.  My two emblems have been upgraded to Popular and Tagger Maker.  I am still at level twenty, but climbing fast.  I am working on a review, and you can find that at the Reviewers' Legion when it is done (or my contributions, but hopefully it will be discussed at the Legion).  My idea is being updated on at the Game Idea Central, so you can check it out there.  If you want to be an Officer at the Movies, Games, and Music union go post a ton and apply.  That's all that's really going on right now (besides school :evil: ).  Football is also in progress and going good right now.  So just stay tuned to see what happens next.

Although I would rather have people post in my other blogs, this is a mini-blog.  My house is seriously being attacked by bees.  If you walk outside there are automatically at least five bees on you.  We have closed up the house, and they are now coming in through the chimney.  We kill at least twenty bees in the house a day.  I guess it isn't extremely bad, but it is pretty bizarre because no one else near us is really being affected. 

I have a couple of upcoming reviews that I still need to finish up, a game idea to finish up (it is the spotlight idea in the Game Idea Central), and some other stuff that I will make a blog on soon.  We're going to take a quick commercial break, so stay tuned to the chapplesshow2.

It isn't finished, and here's the link to the board where all of the ideas are being floated around.

Thanks to Bones8653 for making this and to everyone else at Emerald Designs.  Also thanks to OddballTECH for re-explaining how to get it up (I am obviously not good at this stuff).  So now just hang tight until I blog again.

I got this game on release day (again), and I have played it over the past couple of days.  I like the game a lot, and will try and make a review after a complete a Campus Legend mode and a couple more years in a dynasty.

Since nothing else is really going on that I want to blog about, heres my new(er) Gran Turismo 4 review.  http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/driving/granturismo4/player_review.html?id=332165

I put some good effort into it so I hope you like it.

I posted this message as a topic in the forum at the Game Reviewer's Legion, but it didn't get to many responses. It is fairly long and please read the reviews.

My first review that I wrote was my NCAA Football review which I wrote before I joined this legion.  It isn't really good (at all), but I won't change it for the purpose that I like to see my progress. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/ncaafootball2006/player_review.html?id=227417

My second review was my MGS3 Subsistence review.  People really seemed to like this one, but there are many gramatical flaws, and I could have been more detailed. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/mgs3subsistence/player_review.html?id=288334

My third review was my Socom 3 review.  It didn't really get much feedback, but besides some from weird wording on my part, I like it a lot. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/socom3/player_review.html?id=305725

My fourth and latest review is my MVP 06 NCAA Baseball review.  It also didn't get much feedback (probably because it is a sports game which doesn't always appeal to everyone) but I put more time into this one than any other review and I think it is good. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/mvp06ncaabaseball/player_review.html?id=321610

My fifth review is in the making.  I am reviewing Gran Turismo 4, but it will take me a while because I want to be my best review by far because it is a really good game that has so much to it.

All in all, my point of this post was:

1. I want everyone to read my reviews

2. I am not nearly at the point that I want to be as a game reviewer

and most importantly

3. The legion has given me severall tips on what to improve in my reviews, but more importantly it is that I read some of the great reviews by the top reviewers here and it makes me want to get better.

So I just want to thank everyone in the union, especially Oddball for inviting me, starting this union, and getting me interested in writing game reviews.
