So hey whats up gamespotters? It has been a long time. I haven't bloged since new years haha! Anyway my birthday is tomorrow. Big ol 17. Pretty messed up. I actually don't really care to be honest. Its just a day to have a good time.

So what am I getting? Well I didn't ask for anything so heres how my gifts got to me. I had a huge project due about a week ago. I needed top print off the finished product...... Thats when S$%T his the fan. My printer pretty much lit on fire. The inside was smoking and it was crazy. So at like nine thirty, I caught a ferry and went to staples at like 11 to get a printer. I didn't get to bed until like 2.

So I got like a 200 dollar printer which does everything basically. Its going to be sick with my new computer. I am following NYC05 and making my own computer. Its going to be hard but I am excited.

So my grandparents gave me like 150 dollars which I really didn't expect. I tried to give some of it back because I honestly don't need that much money.

So my dad was going to get me some cash but one of my friends had a litter of puppies and asked if I wanted one. So literally like four hours ago I asked my dad. " You want a dog?" "Sure" "Ok". And there you have it. My dad is buying me my golden lab and I am picking it up tomorrow.

Pretty sure I am going to name him Duece. I plan on him being my boy haha. A pal to rage around with in my rig haha. Other than that, I have got a lot of games and I should do a V blog. Not sure though. I will think about it.

So this is a really random blog basically. Hope you enjoyed. What will I do for my real birthday (tomorrow) you ask? Just have a good time :lol:

~Peace

So with some Christmas cash and gift cards, as well as cash for things my dad wanted, I got some pretty cool games.

I got:

Shaun White Snowboarding - Target Edition - $40 On Sale - Had to try it.

Resistance 2 - Collectors Edition - $70 - Because I loved R1

Bioshock - Amazon - $40 On Sale - GOTY Material On 360 Why Not Try PS3

Super Mario Galaxy - $50 - Dad Wanted It.

Nyko Wii Charge Station - $20 On Sale - Dad Wanted It.

Wifi Super G Router - $40 On Sale - Dad For The Wii So He Can Get News And Internet.

Whats up everyone. It's been a while since I contributed to the good ol' Gamespot. I'll try harder to put some more stuff up soon.

Lets go through the Christmas round up:

The Usual Nick Nack Stuff

Shuffle Board (haha yeah it's sick)

Season Snowboard Pass

FarCry 2

COD:WAW

The Dark Knight Blu Ray

Billabong Sweatshirt

Family Heirlooms

A Wii

Oh yeah I got a Wii. I really didnt ask for anything for Christmas so lets talk about how the wii came into my life. I knew my dad would love it because he hates console and pc controls. Too hard for him. I told my Grandma that I was going to get one for my Dad for christmas. Then she told me she would get one for me and my Dad and I could play at his house.

To tell the truth, I like the Wii. I never thought it would be something I could enjoy. It just has this strange charm about it. We had a huge tournament with about twenty of my dads and my friends. It was a good 500 dollar pot of money to the winner. My dad came in second losing to one of our good friends. It was an absolute blast.

Ok so COD:WAW came in just because my mom knew I liked COD and realized I should have the new one haha. It's a great game which is perfect for me because I really never played a WWII game so it was really fresh for me. Plus I was able to play exactly what we are learning about right now in World History.

FarCry 2 is honestly an amazing game. It is a serious contender for one of my favorite games of the year. It really is immersive and draws you in well. I didn't think I would like the enviroments at all but they are really varried and awesome to look at. Overall it is an incredible game.

So that about wraps it up. Look for a good VBlog soon hopefully. Ill try to get more up soon.

Fallout 3 is mine. So let the streak begin.

PS: Check out Raginggamer.com for news and reviews that I am writing. It was started by senortinman who is also on this site. We will be doing a podcast tonight so check it out. Try to spread the word! Thanks.

Well it happened today. I bought a game that didnt involve shooting in it. Yes I am talking about Little Big Planet. I got the game today while some friends and I went to a snowboarding convention at Qwest Field (Home of the Seattle Seahawks).

The last game I got that did not involve a gun or shooting was waaaaaaay back to Christmas of last year. I got rockband. Since then I got:

UT3, R6V, UDF, R6V2, GTA, MGS4, MGSEC, MGS4, BBC, SOCOM, and now LBP.

It is extremley refreshing! I love every second of it. I can't wait for the online servers to kick in!

I might do a VBlog tomorrow if I have time.

So basically I have had a lot on my plate the past couple of weeks. I took the PSAT and it wasn't to hard but I dont think I did amazing on it either. I'm hoping for at least a B-. This week has also been homecoming week so there have been a lot of distractions from my schedule.

Football has been brutal as a result from H. week because we are undefeated in league and our opponent, Orting High, is undefeated as well. So one of us is walking away with a loss in league which should be an exciting game.

Work has been great to tell the truth. I love my job and I get good money so it's all good. The only problem is that they are cutting hours due to the economy but I still get a lot of time in, plus gas has dropped in price so its not all bad.

I found out my grandma has breast cancer which is really sad. Seeing as how I lost my step grandma to a cancerous tumor in her brain a couple months ago, you can tell this was bad news. She is going to get a lumpectomy or however it is spelt to get the cancer taken out and hopefully will not need a mastectomy. She will need radiation however. I'm sure shell be fine but I just got to keep positive. My mom will also be going in for testing seeing as how the women on my family tree have a history with breast cancer.

High School overall has been solid. Ive kept a B+ average which is ok I guess.

I picked up a few games so expect a VBlog sometime soon. I have had problems uploading the past couple of times so hopefully it will work out this time.

Thanks ~ RJ

Oh thank you sweet baby Jesus!

Sorry Im a huge Red Sox fan. I can't help myslef. It's a shame because I wish that this was the World Series because these are, I believe, the 2 best teams in the MLB.

Here we come Tampa.

Ps. I love the story of how Tampa got here but I still love the sox. Also we are at 69% for those who were wondering lol (that means nobody haha). Dang this download is going slow.

Go Red Sox ~ Rj.

Yup, I'm having more troubles uploading videos again. Oh well. This site is starting to make me a little upset. I miss the old gamespot, no matter how old it looked. The new one just kind of looks clustered.

Oh well. I guess I will make my second video blog 10 this sat. Im getting SOCOM then so it should be all good.

In other news. I bought wipeout HD and it is downloading as I write. Checking now we are at: 56% (Just in case you wanted to know lol). I will most likley be writing a review for it or even a video review. I also plan to make either a montage or video review of BBC. I really want to try to make a professional looking review just because I have got bluescreen down and I can come up with a good set up for reviews that would at least look decent.

Later and thanks for reading ~ RJ.
