............I just wanted to say......oh, you know:P. It's inevitable. I mean, it's the TWENTY FIFTH of DECEMBER. I mean, if you really don't know what today is, then how the hell did you get this far in life with such ignorance? Oh for Christ's sake (pun intended:P ), fine I'll say it................
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!
There. Now, hopefully everyone's holiday is going swell, and I hope that everyone is enjoying spending time with loved ones that care. I also hope that everyone got what they wanted for Christmas (or if they didn't deserve sh*t, I hope they didn't get what they wanted:P ). As for me, I'm pretty happy with what I got. Got an Xbox 360, so now I have the ultimate game system. In fact, I didn't get the arcade one, but I got the Pro one:D. I was so surprised. So, instead of worrying about getting by with a dinky memory card, I got the full 20GB hard drive, as well as a silver membership to Xbox Live, a headset, and two extra games: Forza Motorsport 2 (which looks WAY better than Gran Turismo 3, the only racing game I've ever cared for) and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (which I've been curious to play, since it has a variety of different superheroes from different comics, unlike X-Men Legends, where it's just the X-Men). Hell, it's even got tons of demos from Xbox Live Arcade, as well as a full version of Hexic HD, which I played a little bit. I even managed to unlock my first achievements, so go me! I tried Forza already, but it seems too complicated for me at the moment, so I'll pass on that one right now:P. As for Marvel, I haven't started that yet.
But the two true games that I asked for were Bioshock and Mass Effect. Haven't played ME yet, but Bioshock is f*cking insane. I mean, it is "Oh. My. F*cking. God." insane. It's like a mix of 4 genres: horror, adventure, first-person shooter, and RPG. And let me tell you, after beating System Shock 2 the other night, I felt right at home with Bioshock, only it improves just about everything possible that was in System Shock 2. It's scarier than hell, the graphics are some of the most impressive I've ever seen (this coming from a person who played this as their first true next-gen game:P ), the action is intense, the environment is fully interactive, and the physics for the dead bodies is incredible. Did I mention it scares the sh*t out of me? Seriously, there is this one part in a dentist's office, and.............ok, no spoilers there. But anyways, I think this here is my Game of the Year. It's just so superb, and I can't get enough. Sorry Mario:(. The 360 has taken over my mind.
Unfortunately, I'm not so sure if I'm too impressed with the consule itself. First of all, it is a LOT bigger than I expected it to be, and is about the same size (if not bigger) than the original Xbox. And the adaptor connected to the power cord? The Angry Video Game Nerd would be having a tantrum! Second, it is so damn noisy when I play games..........and I'm worried. I've read online that the 360s that are noisy are the older versions, and that those ones are the ones that result in the Red Ring of Death:?. That's why everytime I turn it on, I always have an intense staredown with the power button on the console to expect the redness and not the green around the ring. It's going to drive me up the f*cking wall, but oh well. I wouldn't be the only one.
So, other than that precious Xbox 360, what else did I get? Eh, nothing much. I got some DVDs (Superbad, Knocked Up, The Simpsons Movie), some Wii accessories (AKA Wiimote charger and Wii points card), and a sweet new computer chair, since my last one was falling apart, due to the fact that my overweight self kept leaning back on it too hard:P. Other than that, that's about it. But that's more than enough for me. I'm more than satisfied with what I got, and I can't wait to jump back into the underwater city of Rapture to take down some Big Daddies:twisted:.
Once again everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
