So, it's June. Nothing much has happened since my last blog post, and no new games have been added to my collection. But, like most past summers, I've become interested in a great many things, particularly things on Gamespot. Let's take some genuine time (which is about to be changed) to go over my experiences this month.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise has never been appealing to me. Although you'd probably expect me to hate the so-called "repettitive" game play, I don't. I felt so sick with the ghetto-gangster-dull story behind the game. I'm gonna tell you now that all of that has been changed...purified....or what ever the hell you want to call it. After watching the second GTA IV trailer, I was hooked. "Sandbox" and "cool new cinematic trailer that tells me there's a better story" has come together to form the ideal GTA formula. It's nice to see ghetto-punk storylines change to mobster-and-mafia-storylines, but this is different. I can't explain it, so go do yourself a favor by watching it if you already haven't. If you have, do yourself a favor and fantasize about it for a minute. Alright, if you have watched it already (which would also count for the people who just watched it), then you should feel the same way I do. The franchise has almost even changed itself with this new game. I WANT IT.
Red Vs. Blue...Geez, what can I say about it? It's awesome-tastic. And if you weren't alerted about this earlier, the last episode aired last night. The hearts of many RvB viewers were struck down last night, along with mine. Episode 100, the last episode, aired. And in the end, all of those 100 episodes of pure happiness and adventure ended up being the weirdest Xbox Live match for the characters of RvB. It was like a "dream" to the characters, which was a pretty nice ending to me. The directors and producers even tricked us viewers by pretending that the voice actors (featured in the credits) were Japanese. Very funny, Rooster Teeth. How culd I have been ocompletely fooled? Even with the Japanese ending song they put in the background! ARRGH! Ah yes, and they're NOT gonna be using Halo 3 for a new series, which would be the most expected thing to do. But of course, it makes the viewers sad, which in turn makes life like a movie.
Fine, this will be the last paragraph. You're frickin' bored with this blog, right? That's alright, because this blog ain't for you anyway =P !!! Jk. My friend Brian has just recieved an insane request from his mother. And the request was sent to inform him of his cousin's birthday, informing him to use his own money to buy him a PS3, along with a game and probably a new controller. I asked him a hundred times if he was lying to me. Nope, in fact, he wasn't. His parents...told him...to use...his own money...to buy...a PS3...for his cousin. The console, the game, the controller, and probably even an adapter for online play would cost around 800 bucks, which is exactly what Brian holds. Insane. Don't even ask me if his mother was kidding. I made sure.
