Long Time No Blog, Lunar Legends, 3D Dot Game Heroes, and Chains of Memories....

Hey guys, haven't made a blog in a while, partly because I ran out of stuff to blog. But, I finally got something. The other day I went down to GameStop and was just looking around when I saw a huge selection of GBA games. I, owning only about four or five GBA games, missed out on some great RPGs for the aforementioned system. So I blew fifteen bucks on Kingdom Hearts chain of memories and Lunar Legend. Chain of memories is a fairly decent game,it iskinda-sorta card based so that takes some time to get used to, but other than that it'spretty good. Can't beat the second fight with Axel though...not sure why either, one of my friends had no problem with Axel but lost to Larxene. I beat Larxene no problem but can't beat Axel...go figure.

But I bought Lunar Legend, which is awesome! Not sure why I think it's awesome, it dosen't really have any new and exciting features. Maybe it is the cliche but still interesting story? Who knows, either way I recommend it.

Another game that just recently hit my shelf is 3D Dot Game Heroes. A little dissapointed in this one, I was expecting a lot more. Making your own little pixelated mess block by block is as time consuming as it is frustrating. The gameplay is ridiculously shallow and the art style is almost head ache inducing. If you're gonna make a retro looking game don't make every pixel 3D. Probably the biggest reason I don't like it is the fact that it resembles classic Zelda games. Never really liked The Legend of Zelda series (other than windwaker).

Well, that's my blog. Hope ya enjoyed it.

Blowin' through Disgaea 2

In case you didn't know, I've been playing some Disgaea 2 here lately. After reading Gamespot's review I knew I'd love the game, and, behold, I do love it! It has just the right balance of outright silliness and fun, I definately enjoy it more than Final Fantasy Tactics. Right now my total time playing this game has been about fifty-five hours...so if you haven't played it yet buy it off of Amazon! It's worth every penny you pay for it!

Disgaea 2:Cursed Memories

Money, Money, Money, Money, MONEY!

Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, I have came into a lot of money recently. What did I do with it when I got it? I SPENT IT! All the Final Fantasy games that I ever wanted (well most of them) I nowhave! FFXIII, FFXII, FFIV and the FFX soundtrack, AND FFVII advent children movie! Can't wait to watch it! Man, everything seems to be going good right now, but this good feeling won't last forever. Seize the day!

Where are all the games!!!???

I'm not sure if you guys have noticed this but...ALL THE GAMES THAT WERE RELEASED THIS YEAR SUCK!!! Okay there were a couple good ones but not many. And there is something else I noticed...THERE ARE BARELY ANY NEW GAMES IN STORES RIGHT NOW!!! I heard yesterday that video game sales were down 20% from April....20%! That is a lot of games not being purchased! What is going on right now?

Finally watched Avatar...

Two words can sum up Avatar entirely: OVERRATED. Okay maybe thats one word but still....All I saw in that movie was fairly good special effects, a predictable, clichedplot, stupid lookin' blue aliens,a fewcorny sequences,and an excellent battle sequence. Yep, the only good thing in the movie was the intense, violent, exciting climax. In truth you will hate everything about the movie and be tempted to cut off the TV, but if you stick around until the end, you will be surprised and thrilled to see an awesome battle.

My Goals on Gamespot

This blog is about what I plan to do on Gamespot in the future.

Goal 1:Reach Lvl 20 on Gamespot, no it isn't very ambitous but once I reach lvl. 20 I'll move this goal to reach lvl. 30.

Goal 2: Review every game in my collection. This one is almost impossible to do at this point, but I'll try...sorta.

Goal 3: Get new friends. Not too long ago (maybe last year) I had only two friends on Gamespot, recently I've been getting quite a bit morenow.

Goal 4: Get new emblems! This is a pretty big one, if you have any information regarding the acquisition of any emblems please PM me.

Goal 5: Perhaps make a union some time in the future, a big project for sure so if I start this massive undertaking I will need your support. However I do not plan on starting this anytime soon and I'm still contemplating whether or not I should make a union, but if I do most of these goals will be reached so I won't have such a busy schedule.

Nicknames!

Just about everyone has had at least one nickname throughout their life time. Me? I've had two, Ex-con and Count Olaf. I was deemed Ex-con in sixth grade after accidentally spilling milk all over some poor girl. Ah, good times, good times.However I've lost contact with the guys that started that nickname and so it is never used anymore. How did people start calling me Count Olaf you ask? No, I've never adopted three orphans just to try to kill them so I could inherit their fortune. I was actually nicknamed that because just about everyone I know of says I remind them of Jim Carrey... What? you still don't understand? Jim Carrey played as count Olaf in the movie "A Series of Unfortunate Events". So as I sit here drinking sweet tea, I ask thee, what is one of your nicknames if you have one? Oh, and tell me why they called you the aforementioned nickname.

My RPG obsession.

Some people like shooters, some like platformers, others like puzzle games...*shudders* but me? I like all game types, but I like RPGs the most. and here lately I've been creeping around video game stores looking for outdated RPGs. What got me started doing this you ask? Well the first RPG I played was The Lord of the Rings the third age, which was pretty decent but didn't exactly start my role playing game obsession. Then I bought Final Fantasy X, I LOVED it. Its amazing story and fun battle system were great. Then I borrowed Final Fantasy 9 (don't remember the roman numeral now)from my sister, loved that too. Then I borrowed Final Fantay VII from my bro-in-law, that was an awesome game. That startedmy search for RPGs in game stores. Shortly after this I bought Final Fantasy Origins, well I now know my favorite final fantasy is Final Fantasy 2. Great story and great gameplay. Now I'm currently searching for a copy of Valkyria Chronicles, and when final fantasy XIII comes out I'll try and buy it.
