You know those consequences I was talking about 2 entries ago? They came:( I don't know why because it was working perfectly yesterday. What's happening is that only the man-made objects (bridges, towers, bunkers, etc.) are showing up with out error. The vegetation and natural objects are screwed up. The trees are flat and have weird colors. The sky is boxes of colors and it looks like I'm playing in a box. The water is invisible. Sometimes a image will get stuck on part of my screen. Like a helicopter flys by and several helis appear on my screen. I'm not lagging and just registered the game for support. On some servers the letters are white squares / rectangles in all different shapes and sizes. I will try to get an in-game shot to post to give you an idea because its so bizarre I can't imagine how to describe it.

I learned what the Iowa SAT is. It is the "Iowa basic skills test" or sumthin. I've decided there are no "pros" to it only "cons." The teacher is always mad at us and wasting time with lectures about us wasting time with questions. I always finish a little early so I'm bored out of my mind. All in all the 'Iowa Basic Skills Test' sucks.

I found out the perfect strategy for RoN!!! This is what you do...

1. Build barracks, stable / auto plant, and siege factory. Get a lot of resources.

2. Make 6 or 7 types of each infantry but scouts. Make 2 of the light calvary , 4 of the heavy calvary, and 8 of the ranged calvary. Make 6 artillery weapons and 2 supply units.

3. If travelling by water have heavy ships (not bombardment ships) escort your troops safely to land. I would suggest to also have air support for your troops.

4. Have a scout / spy search for an open flank in the enemy's capital.

5. Sneak your troops to this open flank and attack!!!

6. Make a huge queue line for the barracks, stable / auto plant, and siege factory. Put the span point for these troops by the area you are attacking, or any other place that would slow an enemy counter-attack.

7. Have all your siege units attack only the city. Some troops should attack to but the rest should defend from counter-attack. Pretty soon you should have captured the city so sit back and watch your enemy's empire fall.:wink:

Well lately I've been feeling overwhelmed with work and i just don't like it!!! I've got quite a few reports that I'm working on and its quite overwhelming.

Only a few uneventfull things have happened today and here they are....

Well i had track practice today. Although I didn't go. It was like the first practice and I didn't have the clothes to go so I just hung out until like 4 moms asked me if my mom knew if I was here. I said yes. They told me that they thought I was supposed to be at track practice. I said that i didn't have the clothes. They asked if I had any gym clothes in my locker. I said yes but they're dirty. Then they said "well that doesn't matter." I said that it did because I would smell really bad. They told me that it didn't matter. Then they called my mom and told her I wasn't at practice. Well she came got mad at me, then asked if I was going to practice or not. I said yes. Then she said if your not then go meet me out front. So I went out front and drove home. (Thid all happened in the same place by tha way, including my practice.) So I went home and played Battlefield Vietnam since I recently installed the game. Which brings me to my next topic....

Battlefield Vietnam!!! After recently installing the game and downloading the patches (to my surprise I only had to download 3-4 patches) I decided to get some game time. Well I'm still trying to figure out what type of class I 'm best at. Usually it depends on the area but mostly I like sniping and being an engineer. Cause I like to use explosives and mortars. I also like to be an antitank / antihelicopter guy. But only for the Vietnamese cause I like RPG's. Well after the missed track practice I decided to play Battlefield Vietnam. I got on a server with a little lag every now and then. Mainly becasue I got in tanks. Well I think it was a hue when this guy was recruiting for a clan. I told him I met the requirments (having x-fire or teamspeak). Then he asks for my name on x-fire so I give it to him and he sends me a friend request so as far as I know I'm in a Battlefield Vietnam clan with 2 days of experience, and past experience, and a faint idea of what I'm good at in the game. Pretty lucky on my part.

Well I'm taking a different type of SAT test all this week.

Pro(s): No homework, no work except for filling in bubbles.

Con(s): hand cramps, stress, less time to hang out with ma friends

I'm not taking the highschool test by the way. It thsi thing called the Iowa SAT or somthing like that. So that's it....Oh! if I have no H.W. this week that means 3 weeks without H.W.!!!!! And one of those weeks I dont have to go to school!!!

And also here is a quote:

Well since none of you guys helped me pick out a game I bought Rise of Nations: Gold Edition yesterday. So I got the original and the expansion pack and its a pretty good game. I currently am doing the "New World" campaign. I am the leader of the Americans, and have captured 50% of the territory, conquered the British, French, Iroquois, and some other nation. I don't have to pay taxes to the British again (thank god). I have two allies, The Dutch and The Aztecs. I have fended off one attack on my territory in Louisiana, and paid a nation so it wouldn't attack. I controll most of the Northen part of the map except for the western part of the future United States which is controlled by the Aztecs. I have not ventured into South America, but controll the Gulf of Mexico, and fought way to many battles over the Louisiana/Florida/Cuba territory. I have six remaining conquest moves , and about 7 nations are still in the game, most of which are Indian nations. I have 4 armies and have only overran 1 area. I have about 10 rare resources, no bonus cards, and about 100 tributes/currency.

Pretty fancy huh? By the way I drew all this info from my memory so some its not accurate, but most of it is. The game doesn't keep track of all the stuff you've done either:P I just started thinking of stuff and all the things I controll and have done:)

I just installed my old game of BF: Vietnam. I have to catch up on downloading patches though...quite alot of work!!! Although some of the patches say that you need the full BF: Vietnam, which i have, so I just skipped to the latest full patch. Can't wait for the consequences!!!

Yah!!! I'm at level 8 Sectoid (whatever that is...)

I saw a play yesterday (On March 3rd, I'm typing this at midnight so it will appear as the 4th) It was called "Big River" It sucked of course mainly because it was a musical (like every play) and because i've heard the story soooo many times in school. Two words "Huckleberry Finn". Those who dont know who this is then look it up. Thats why they have search engines.

Well while i was on the bus coming back from the play this girl was sitting across from me. We talked to each other every now and then and I occasionaly mad fun of her gay friend, that she won't admit is gay (he wears tight pants and shaves his legs). Anyways she was listing to one of my friends CD's and she couldn't hear anything I said so I said "I love you" to see if she could really hear me. She couldn't:) So then I said to her "Do ya wanna go out with me?" Then i tried to get her to nod her head up in down. You know to say yes. Well she did. And all my friends I was sitting with started cracking up and she took off the the headphones and was like "What? What did he say?" Then they told her that she was going out with me!!! Then she was like "No, Nu-uh." She had a smile on her face (she smiles when she's embarrased). I was a little dissapointed that she said no but at least I got a good laugh out of it!!:D

I actually played COD: UO for the first time in 2 months!!! I'm so happy for myself:)
*shakes own hand*

Ok I downloaded a demo on GS for Rise of Nations about a month ago. Since then I've mostly played quick battle and have only won wonder victories. That is the easy way to win. So I decide to try and go for a territory win, that didn't work. The second time I tried (but not planned for) to do a territory win was on a map that had 1 big lake in the middle if it (forgot the name). I procceded to build cities all the way down to the lake because I figured that if I controlled that lake I could get anywhere as long as I had a shipyard. Well I also had the Terra Cotta Army(gives you a unit--3 soliders--every few seconds but the time doubles so...) so a had a good supply of soldiers at my disposal. I also had an ally close by so I couldnt get flanked. Well once I had captured about 25 cities I had a pretty good plot of land. So my next target was the British. I had to attack London. So I carefully snuck most of my units, horeses, canons, and supply wagons behind London. So I had about 6 units I left behind (also had a massive system of guard towers and forts to guard my previously captured land. Well once I got my army back there I led a full attack while my units that stayed back on my turf provided a distratction. Once a got to London I procceded in beating the crap out of it and found it strange that no one was there. So I'm thinking that tey must not be very big on building an army. Then I went to check on my distraction and nothin was happining there either. Then the british attacked. I held them off pretty good and gradually the timer for the defeat of a leader gradually got to 0 and I conquered that nation. Then once I captured the other cities on the area the "territory win" clock started. I expected I full scale attack on my or my ally's land but instead I ended up raiding their cities.

I reviewed accomplishments chart and ended up having the highest score for mostly all of the things like "biggest army", "most lumber aqquired" etc. Also I found it amazing that I only built 3 cities and ended up with 32!!!. So I was pretty happy with myself.:)

Well i'm 5% away from level 8. Doesnt feel like a big accomplishment. Level 7 went by fast. Its 12:13am so i'm calling this tuesday not wednsday.

I'm typing up a review for the 1st Blitzkreig. I guess its pretty good but i dont know if it really is. So tired. Notihn has been very exciting lately. Have to do a report on music/poetry for school. I think i'm doing the song purple haze but since its all about smoking and stuff they probabaly won't let me. Stairway to Heaven is possible but its 8min long and they dont want it that long. If you have a suggestion feel free to leave a comment. Need to get my printer working. It's supposedly (and i quote this from my control panel)"Disconnected" but all the wires are hooked up and it just stopped working.

Also Gamespy Arcade gave me a virus!!! It was their own brand too. I think it was adware sumthin that causes lots and lots of pop-ups...I think. I delted it. Hope it worked. Havn't been playin a lot of games lately. I'm so ready for BIA to come out for the PS2.

Time for some sleep.................

(thats not me by tha way)

Which RTS should I get? I'm thinking about Rise of Nations but i want the experienced RTSers to help me out.

EDIT: Does any1 think i should try a FF game? I'm not big on RPGs but i'm hearing so much about FF this and FF that. Its driving me crazy. So should i try or not?

:evil:OMG. I've been :evil:waiting for :evil:Brothers in Arms:evil: to come out for the PS2 :evil:and planned to buy it on March 1st only to realize... THAT ITS COMING:evil: OUT ON THE 15TH!!! This:evil: sucks :evil:really bad. It :evil:was right there just out of :evil:reach when the:evil: mean people at Ubisoft :evil:snatched :evil:it away for 15 MORE days!!!
