I've started playing Luminous Arc and while the game seems promising, I think it has a glitch in it. Either that or my touch screen is screwed up. I tried to select the back button in the lower right corner and the game selected something from the upper left corner. Now I was playing Resident Evil DS the day before and you have to use the touch screen in some parts of the Rebirth Mode to fight off zombies (gotta use a knife). And it worked fine. I slashed, thrusted, and everything else without a problem. I'm pretty sure that there is no problem with my screen. I haven't left it out anywhere were it could get damaged.

On another note, I got Lunar Knights today. Had to order it online because EB Games doesn't sell it. Why? I do not know. It's not super graphic or anything.

I finaly got my new laptop and ipod. They're my first ones. Now I can start putting more pictures up and really help with the game that the Game Development Union is creating.

And tomorrow I'll be the proud owner of Luminous Arc! Yay!

Yes just two days ago I became the proud owner of a nintendo DS. I got Fire Emblem and Kingdom of Hearts with it, but found KOH to be horrible. Don't understand why the cards are there. FE is addicting however.

Okay I went and saw the movie on Sunday and I feel that , except for the last part when Harry was fighting for control of his mind, the movie was crap compared to the book. However,I understand why. After all, there was a lot of info in that book, too much to fit into a three hour movie. If you hadn't read the book, you'd probably be confusedat parts and would definitely miss out on the depth of the goings on in the wizarding world.

Yes, today is my 18TH BIRTHDAY! Wednesday I graduated from High school. And yesterday, I was hired for a job. So soon I will have my long awaited DSLight. Ah, the beauty of it.

Well, I now have another reason to get the PS system, Guitar Hero II. One the guys in my chem course brought it in for us to play. Our science teacher is really cool so he was encouraging us to play it.

I watch the guy as he played with a friend on the expert level and I could hardly follow what they were doing. Until then I only saw the game in the store. I was next to try, and and after warning them that I had never played before I started. Well, I failed miserably and got kicked out of the song. I just couldn't remember to push the color button and strum the white one at the same time. Either I simply pushed the button or just strumed the one on the base of the guitar. A couple more people tried and then the expert duo again. I decided to play once more, now having tried it and saw it palyed. Amazingly, I scored 88% and beat my partner, well it was a face off so I guess that makes him my opponent, by 3%.

On monday another guy is bringing his N64 with Perfeect Dark (hope he has the expansion pack). Now I can wipe the floor with every gamer in there and bring others view of my skill back up to where it should be.

Okay here's a little of what's been going on with me. 

I have been promoted to officer in the Game Designers Union. It really surprized me. If you never heard of it, it is a union devoted to making up game ideals. We even have monthly competitions.

The job hunt is still ongoing. I keep hitting that 'you have to be 18 to apply' wall. I'll be that by the time I start working so I don't really get why I can't apply for the positions.

There are 20 more school days left for me (yes I'm counting them down) and 10 days before my IB Chemistry and IB Spanish exams. And that doesn't include my final exams which I have to take, even though I'll be taking the IB ones for the same course. Yet, it is only today that I start studying for them (the ones for IB). Terrible, ain't it?

My spring break is coming to an end this weekend. So Monday it will be back to school. I'm not looking forward to it since I'll have a 3 page essay due on Tuesday. Haven't even started it. I should start it today, but I am too much of a procrastinator. Most likely it won't get done until 9th period on Tuesday ( the thing's due 10th period).

Luckily I was offered a possible job position at Walgreen's. The manager said that right after I do the application online, I should call him so that he can pull it up right away. Then he'd interview me and go from there. I'm really nervous because I never had an interview before. Plus the position seems like it is permanent, but I can only work for the summer. They said that if I got the job they could transfer me to the closest location to my college, but I have to do work study for my financial aid stuff. Maybe I'd just quit when it gets close to my time for leaving to college.

Speaking of college, is it true that the first year you get a lot of aid and then after that you get almost none? This year I'll only have to take out a 3.5k loan, but I'm worried about how much I'll have to take in  the years to come.

I've created the Game Art album that I was talking about in my last blog. Both images are from the legend of zelda series. The one from majora's mask is really old, about a couple of months after the game's release. The one of Link was made last night, figured I'd add images in groups of two or more.

I have created a new album called Manga Sketches. These are, like the title said, my sketches from various manga. So far I have three, two from D.N. Angel and one from Crossroads. I'm going to add some from Hellsing, Vampire Game, Bleach, and a whole bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet. I'll start putting up ones from video games as well, but that'll be a different album. Maybe I'll call it Game Art, even though many will be kind of sketch-like.
