Today I thought it would be interesting to tell you why I have the username romo. Well romo is actually a nickname I got back when I was in high school. It was during my freshman year and I had a gym teacher who would give many of the students nicknames. Sometimes the name would be making fun of a kid, but luckily in my case it wasn't. Romo is actually a shortened version of my last name which is Romary. So you take off the "ary" and replace it with an "o". After my gym teacher gave this name to me everyone started calling me by it. Sometimes people would even call me a variation of the nickname like "Romes". This nickname lasted through all my years at high school, and even after graduating people who I went to school with still call me this. Romo never caught on now that I'm in college and no other nickname has been given to me.

By the way this gym teacher I had was my favorite I had throughout all my years at high school. He was about 70 and this was his last year before retiring, so he had accumulated a lot of days he could take off. This meant that it would be Monday and at the end of class he would say "Have a nice weekend". This was because he would just go to Florida for the rest of the week golfing. And when he was actually in class usually he would just set up a volleyball net and disappear for the rest of the class period.

Anyway, so that's the story of my username. Anyone else have a nickname from back in high school?

With the new Wii game Super Smash Bros. Brawl now out it got me to thinking how much I enjoyed playing past games in that series. So I decided to revisit Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Gamecube. I dusted off my Gamecube which I haven't played in about four years and once again got addicted to this game. So I've decided to list some of my favorite characters to play as from this great game.

Link

When playing this game I tend to favor swordsmen so of course Link would be on the list. He has a large variety of moves like throwing bombs and shooting arrows and of course swinging his sword. Link is great since he has that well known move where he swings his sword in a complete circle. This is great for when you have a bunch of other characters ganging up on you all at once.

Marth

Marth is another swordsmen, but he is much quicker than Link. He is one of the two characters in this game from the Fire Emblem series which is a strategy game similar to the GBA game Advance Wars.

Roy

Roy is also from the Fire Emblem series, and I think he's better in the game than Marth. He has the charge up move for his sword and also the move where he swings his sword upwards. Both these moves do more damage than similar ones that Marth has.

Falco and Fox

The reason I list these two characters together is because they basically have the same exact moves. Both of them are known for being very fast and agile. The only downside is that they're both fairly light in weight so they can't sustain as much damage as others. On the positive side with their speed they can easily get a lot of moves in before an opponent can counter.

Samus

One of the best moves Samus has is when she charges up that energy ball and can fire it. In the original game her move when she would jump and spin around to trap her opponent was much more effective than in the sequel.

Ness

Even though Ness isn't as strong as he was in the original game, he's still one of my favorite characters. He has the great smash attack with his bat, and his PK thunder is great as a long range attack.

After hooking up my Gamecube again I also revisited the Super Monkey Ball games. These games involve a monkey in a ball who you have to guide through different levels without letting the ball roll off the course. The courses can get very difficult with timing playing a crucial part in your victory. It was also great to see that Sega still had games coming out even though they no longer made systems.

Games I'd like to get:

Even though the Gamecube no longer makes new games I think there are still some games I'd consider buying used. The last Gamecube title I got was back in 2003, so there are a lot of titles I missed out on. And getting a new system like the Wii isn't exactly cheap.

Timesplitters 2

This is a first person shooter that is similar to Goldeneye since it has similar gameplay and even some of the same guns. Some of the members from the original Goldeneye team worked on this game.

Killer 7

This was a much needed mature rated game in the Gamecube library. It was also very original and had lots of violence and gore.

Tales of Symphonia

I'm a big fan of RPG's and this was one of few that was available for the system.

Well it's been awhile since I posted. Recently I've been sick with the flu, seems everyones getting it. So today i decided to make a list of my favorite music for the SNES. One of my all time favorite systems These are tunes that always bring back fond memories for me when i hear them.

F-Zero- Mute City Theme

This is probably the most memorable music from the game and is my personal favorite.

Donkey Kong Country 2- Bramble Blast theme

Nice relaxing song and just one of the many great examples of how great the songs are from Rare's Donkey Kong games. Playing the level though can be hard at first as it's a puzzle.

Super Mario Kart- Rainbow Road

Some people like the music for the n64 rainbow road stage but personally I like this music better. However in terms of the actual level I prefer the mario kart 64 version.

Yoshi's Island- Final Boss

This is a nice fast paced song for the final boss and really captures the excitement of the fight if you've ever played the game.

Donkey Kong Country- Oil Drum Alley

There were so many great songs from DKC that it's hard to pick one favorite. This is from the later levels when you're in the factories. I still play this game today and see how fast I can beat it.

Mega Man X- Storm Eagle

This was a great mega man game and had some nice upbeat music. When I was younger I always kind of found these games to be difficult.

Well that's a list of my favorite snes music, maybe later I'll make it for other systems too. I always love to listen to video game tunes and thank god we have youtube.

The Nintendo 64 is one of my all time favorite video game systems that I've been playing for years. So I thought I'd list some of the games I've enjoyed playing the most. This list doesn't necessarily represent the absolute best games for the system, but just my personal favorites.

Super Smash Bros.

One thing the N64 was especially good at was multiplayer games which will be reflected in the games I list. Smash Bros. is at it's best when you are playing with three other friends.What a great idea it was to take Nintendo's most popular characters and let you beat the crap out of each other. This game has a great variety of levels and lots of weapons to have fun with, especially the super hammer.

Mario Kart 64

This was the sequel to the popular super mario kart for the snes. However I think this game is better than the original in every way. The controls are lot better and the use of shells and such to hit your opponents has become a lot more refined. I also feel this game has many great soundtracks to the levels, with rainbow road and toad's turnpike being just a few examples.

Bomberman 64

There were three bomberman games released for the N64, and I think the first one was the best. The one player storyline is again not the main focus of the game. However, the four player mode can be a blast to play, which anyone who has played any bomberman game can tell you. You still have the cool power ups, but you can also now expand your bomb by picking it up so it grows to be even more deadly.

Goldeneye 007

Any list of great games for the system can't be without this game. I feel that this is the best first person shooter of all time. One great thing about the game is that even the one player game is fun to play. You have great levels to play that are from the movie. Of course the most fun can be found in the multiplayer mode. Another of the distinguishing factors that makes this game stand out are the wid aray of weapons to choose from. Never have I played anothe game with so many guns to choose from.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

This is the only game on my list that isn't known for being a multiplayer game. However this series has been infamous ever since it debuted on the NES. This game is considered by many to be the best in the series. This game has a great storyline that keep you pulled in until the very end. It also has great puzzles, and great controls.

I don't know if anyone has played this game, but Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for Playstation 2 rocks! This game has been a hit in Japan for many years and has finally made it's way over to the US.

It's a great wrestling game where you actually have to use strategy to win and can't just utilize button mashing. When you play the matches you have to strategize by using weaker attacks first. If you try stronger attacks in the beginning you won't pull them off. You also have to work on a certain body part to help gain a pin.

Another great part of the game is how you can choose from over 300 different wrestlers. They may not be wrestlers familiar in WWE but you can customize your character and make it look like whoever you want. The great thing is you can customize aspects of your wrestler down to the little details. You can even customize many aspects of the ring down to the logo that appears.

This game also has a great variety of matches you can from just normal rules to barbed wire deathmatches and cage deathmatches. Additionally you can have fun as a promoter and book your own matches.

This is probably the best wrestling games I have ever played. I haven't played the WWE's popular game, but I prefer this one due to all the different things you can do.

Hello, this is my first day as a member of tv.com, so I figured I would start off by telling you a little about myself. I'm a male currently attending college. One of my biggest interests is wrestling. I watch all three brands of WWE weekly. I am also an avid fan of Ring of Honor. Besides wrestling I also enjoy watching sitcoms, dramas, and anime. Another of my interests is video games. One of my current favorite games to play is Call of Duty on the PC.
