This is a couple months old, and from the old blog. I decided I’d release it for you rabid fans. 
 
Top Ten Games I’ve Played In 2007

10. Sim City 4
Sim City 4 is a game that really drew me in, and it’s cool looking cities and it’s god-like tendencies kept me playing for hours. Necessity of [...]

What the hell??

Dude, REALLY?? Holy FUCK. What’s next?? Vietnam War themed drinks with Dead Civilians and Bad Draft Laws versions?? Seriously. Total Russian CIVILIAN casualties for WW2 alone is 19 million people!! Innocent civilians!! That sounds like energy drink material to [...]

Rainbow Six: Vegas

I just finished Rainbow Six: Vegas. The ending was totally cliffhanger! The story wasn’t fantastic or anything, but I thought they would at least finish it up. Other then that, it was a great game… It’d be cool to see some more weapons in the next one (I’m to lazy to go check), and maybe [...]

France, baby!!

On Bullshit…

The Electoral College should be abolished! Did you know that to become the President, a candidate must not have a majority of  votes? In 2004, President Bush was re-elected when something called the Electoral College elected him… 41 days after the election in which the rest of America voted in. 
The concept of the Electoral [...]

On Libraries

I’ll get straight to the point- libraries are awesome. I read books all the time, normally about two a week. I get every single one of those from the library. Can you imagine the economic and eventually environmental strain that would generate if I had to buy every single one of those? Books cost like [...]

Dude, really??

Don’t you think it’s a little weird that 
A) The PSP store doesn’t run on a Mac, and 
B) The PSP store doesn’t run on a PSP??
I know that most people say that Sony just had to get the store out, and in time the store will be on the PSP, and that’s probably true. Here’s what [...]

Oh, word?

You, the incredibly large, yet nonvocal community that hangs on and follows every word I say, (read: nonexistent) are probably wondering where the heck I went for like a week. I’d like to say I was captured by ferocious squirrels, or a pack a amphibious wolf-sharks. Actually, I just got all video game and computer [...]

Bacon

I’m going to take a break from the whole writing thing. I’ll still Blog, but I won’t really write- I’ll just blog, which to me is simply putting down my thoughts on a matter or thing however I want. When I really sit down and write, I feel like I have to really try hard [...]

Hannah Montana, Shit

I think I may enjoy the musical stylings of one “Hannah Montana”. Shit. I’m… Uh… I gotta… go… beat this thing, dude. I’m gonna beat it. No really. OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS??? Shit. Shit. Shit.

Song for Week 78: Jerk It Out

Jerk It Out by the Caesars. Some crazy band from Sweden, they were featured in the SSX 3 sound track, and I loved the song. The song lays on a bed of shaky drum, guitar strums, and mainly features some great vocals and nice keyboard/midi work. Buy it.   

Because there just isn’t enough emo-ness on the web…

I feel completely slammed. In between thinking about writing, college, high school, friends, my father’s drinking problem, girls, my father leaving for Afghanistan, video games, music, popularity and blogs (not necessarily in that order), I feel completely slammed. So, I have no decent transition for this… but did you know that Dave Grohl totally released a solo [...]

Elite!

I just got a 360 Elite! I love it, and am playing through GRAW right now. I also have a wireless adapter and Halo 3 on the way; can’t wait to be able to buy things online. It’s possible that I’ll do a review of the system once I’ve had some time to get to [...]

Swamped

Completely swamped. In between school, extra curricular activities, getting sick, and not getting enough sleep, I haven’t had time to write. I’ve been so worn down lately, writing is out of the question… This weekend I’ll probably throw the Halo review up. Late. 

Books!!

I hit up the local Barnes & Noble yesterday, and got: America (the Book): A citizen’s guide to Democracy Inaction (M for Mature), Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, and Star Wars: Republic Commando: True Colors. They’re good so far.     -Our Founder  

A finger down and crappy projection.

So, I cut my finger. You don’t need to know all the gory details, but it sure looks weird. You see, there was a pretty sizable flap of skin hanging of my finger, but when I removed the makeshift bandage with intent to put in a proper band aid, it had kind of fused back onto my [...]

Working on Halo for PC review

Right now I’m working on my Halo for PC review. Lets hope it’ll be up by either tomorrow night or Sunday afternoon.  -Our Founder

Thoughts on Burnout: Paradise

I’ve been doing a lot of research on the topic of Burnout Paradise, a game that I want to get with my 360, but something about it scares me. The single thing keeping me from buying that game (besides the fact I don’t have a 360…) is the issue of intersections. In the previous burnout [...]

Reviews in the works, Viva Pinata?

Right now, I’m working on both a Lego Star Wars review, and a Halo for PC review. The lego one has been thown on the back burner, because I just prefer doing one review at a time, and right now it’s easier to write about Halo. Like I said last night, I’m looking into what [...]

Song for Week #5: Secret BONUS Song!!

So yeah, I decided to put another song up. It really grabbed me, and I wanted to let all of you know about it before it. you know, stopped grabbing me. The song is. . . Buddy Holly, by Weezer. How I found this one is a equally odd, and related story as the last [...]

One By One

CD Review- One By One by the Foo Fighters 

When you first listen to it, One By One sounds like one hour long song. It’s true that most of the tracks do sound quite similar to each other, but since they’re so impressive, that’s actually a good thing. One of things I really like about this [...]

General Game Thoughts

I’m really thinking hard about getting hard about getting a XBox 360, so I’ve been doing oodles of research about the console and games. I looked up the GameSpot review for Just Cause, a game that I had been excited about seeing it at E3 06 (man, time flies), and I remember being really excited [...]

Song for Week #5: New Hampshire’s Alright, If You Like Fighting

New Hampshire’s Alright, If You Like Fighting by Scissor Fight————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–So, the story for this song is kind of weird. About a year ago, I was looking up “New Hampshire” in iTunes, so I could email Rich Gallup, then producer at GameSpot, and make fun of/question his love of New Hampshire. You know, all in a [...]

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War

 
 
 
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, is very glossy, finished game. There are really no game bugs, short of a few minor targeting issues in the last mission, and all of the numerous CGI cut scenes look fantastic. Every single mission is thought out well, and paced reasonably so you won’t be bored one minute [...]
