Reaching new heights

Over the past few months I've managed to conquer all of the new raiding material for World of Warcrft's Wrath of the Lich King.

It took awhile to gear my 4 chars up, and get them through Naxx. Though at last, one of them has completed norm and heroic modes respectively.

On to GTAIV for my downtime I think.

Whats happening

Movies of recent are kind of lame, and new tunes are meh. Metallica's new album is a desperate grasp at old school grooves that doesn't meet the standard.

Games are plentiful but I still don't own a new gen console so.. I'm out in the cold for awhile.

Waiting on the new WoW expansion for next month and thanks to Dan (from GSAU) and those who praised WoW, I'm basically addicted on and off.

Most of the best unions here on Gamespot are kind of dormant so if you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it

Awesome movies

Into the Wild

I just finished watching this excellent adventure/ true story/ drama called Into the wild. If you haven't seen it you may want to check that bad boy out.








The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Honorable mention to this really gripping drama The King of Kong which follows Steve Weibe on his quest to beat Billy Mitchell the current reigning Donkey Kong World Champion. You'll laugh and cry, well you'll laugh and Steve will cry

Woah COD4

COD4 banner

"Woah", because thats what I thought when I played it online for the first time. It's been so long since I played COD3 (which Igot sick of in about 1 month) but now that 4 is here I'm pretty impressed.


Many people have many differing opinions on this game, but I enjoy the shoot em' up first person shooters. Respawns are cool, athough this Call of Duty has a mode that takes respawns away apparently. Not that I've seen anyone using it


So I'm working my way up to lvl 55 so I can go into Prestige mode and lose my weapons and start all over again hehehehe

Hope u all had a safe Xmas and New Year. Welcome to 08

Happy Festivus Everyone

Well my TV recently died so I find myself gaming alot more than usual when I get home. I finished my senior first aid certificate and responsible service of alcohol. I just need to finish off a few modules from the law component to get my licence for security work. That oughta tie me over for awhile until I work up the ranks

Another thing that happened to me was being given an opportunity to rock out with the GameSpot AU team in a schwank bar in Sydney last week. Total awesome fun playing Rock Band pre-release with a bunch of die hard gamers and the interested alike. Plus there was of course the added incentive of meeting the GSAU crew (which I had done previously this year also) and drink all the alcohol that CNET could afford to place on the bar tab

Stay safe, Merry Christmas , and have a Happy New Year.

Perfect

Artist Review

There are so many ways to describe how awesome PanterA were before their split. The music lives on in so many people and thats what defines this band as a definitive leader in its genre. The fact that they produced such hard hitting albums and kept on doing so for so many years constantly finding catchy riffs and ballsy vocals with solid hard ass back bone speaks for itself.

The awards and many accolades, millions of dollars fame respect and idolization are all proof that these guys owned. Every album including the 4 that were released before Cowboys from Hell evolved one after the other as the band grew and learned more and more. Thats what I love to hear, and thats why these guys as PanterA and no other band, will always be my favorites 101 proof.
They never gave in and they always stood up for what they wanted to create as musicians. Even though most have moved on to different bands seeing as Darrell Abbott has deceased, they probably won't ever achieve as much fame (including Vinnie)as they did with PanterA.

Artist Review

Daysend Rock/Pop
""
Daysend are an Australian band based out of Sydney. They signed a major record label in 05 or 06 I think. They've toured the States successfully with afew well known bands and supported many major bands like Slayer. They are Heavy and coming from heavy backgrounds and roots you can understand that they didnt want to sell out to any trends. They were formed from various other groups and eventually managed to churn out a couple of great albums. Check out Severance their last studio recording. They're a 5 piece and they really get into the melodic stuff from time to time. In general the riffs are great, but the overall song arrangements are pretty awesome. The guitar riffs are meaty and the vocals are growlin'. The drum and bass parts are all fairly well done as well. If your into core or dark metal. Metal in general then do check these guys out. They wont disappoint you.
