Yes that's right. I'm having a blog contest. I can't think ofa good avatar to have so I'm having a contest, so all you viewers at home can reccommend an avatar for me to have. The one that I think is the best one will be chosen as my new avatar and the user who picked it will be mentioned in the next blog. Please try to refrain from choosing an avatar from Spyro, Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, or Sonic, because I have used those all as avatars a lot in the past.

On a lighter note, I want to make a request to all of my GameSpot friends. Most of you know me as Dragon66116, or Dragon, but I think that you all know me enough to call me by my first name. I'd really prefer if all of you called me Michael from now on.

So get creative with your avatar nominations. I'm excited to see what you guys come up with.

Love and hugs (), Michael.

Seriously? Gordon Freeman won? That just disapoints me. This whole contest was a waste of time with all the cheating and what not. One of the biggest things that pissed me off were Bub and Bob beating Master Chief and Sonic and almost beating Samus. To tell the truth, I had no idea who Bub and Bob were until they were in this contest. I think they should have been disqualified right away because there is just no way they could have beaten the Halo fanboys fairly. To make things worse he beat Sonic the Hedgehog, a video game icon for me when I was a young kid. At least they got kicked out when they almost beat Samus. (Go Samus!)

But most of all, the biggest thing that pissed me off was when Gordon Freeman beat not only Yoshi (My favorite Mario character) but also Solid Snake and of all people Link. I cannot believe he beat Link, themain heroof the Legend of Zelda. (And the person I picked to be the winner) Plus he also beat the person I had in second place, Mario, possibly one of the most popular video game characters of all time. Think about it. How many Mario and Legend of Zelda games there are. There's a lot. Now, how many Half Life games are there? That's what I thought. I just can't believe that some wannabee game character from another pointless shooter game could beat not 1 but 2 icons in the gaming history.

If GameSpot plans to this one of these "Contests" again, they should change the rules a bit. If it looks like a character is cheating, (Yes I'm talking about you Bub and Bob) they should be disqualified right away. Maybe then I would give it another chance.

My final score: 90
My final ranking: 4833

I've been sick the past week and I had a ton of homework to do. But now, I can post again.

By the way, vote for Mario! He really needs your help to take down Gordon Freeman!

Serves them right for screwing up a big part of my bracket. All hail Samus!

Wow, I can't believe it's been two years since I made this account on GameFAQs. After using that for awhile, I soon found out that I had a GameSpot account. Out of my two years, I have 749 Karma on GameFAQs and I'm level 29 on GameSpot. Anyways, I have met a TON of awesome people throughout these 2 years. I would just like to thank some of those friends now.

bd0g5: Since you first started posting on my first hurt and heal to this moment, you are easily my best friend on this site. We have had a lot of fun these past 2 years, from posting on the forums, to playing RuneScape together, and to playing on Xbox Live together.You were my first actual friend on this site. One day I hope I can meet you in real life.

Reviewking/Polo: You probably won't see this but you are another great friend of mine. I always have fun talking to you on Chatango and playing with you onXbox Live. Unfortunatly, he doesn't come to GameSpotbecause people give him crap for reason.

_Drago_: You were like an older brother to me. You always helped me when I needed advice and made me an awesome sig. It was sad when you left but someday I hope you come back.

Joe: Like Drago, you were also like an older brother. You were also one of the first few people I met back on the Spyro boards. I always like to talking to you on Chatango.

Streetballer: When you started hurting Sparx in the hurt and heal, I didn't like you, But now you are one of my best friends here. We got into an argument awhile ago, but I still think you're a cool guy.

Gerudoman: You have always been nice to pretty much everybody and made awesome banners. You have also invited me to awesome unions that I go to everyday. You have been an awesome guy.

LittleGreenDog: Someone who has always been nice to me. I honestly can't say anything bad about her at all. She showed me how to make a video and other things like that.

So that's the main people I've met here. Don't get sad if you're not on the list, it's probably because I haven't known you as long as I've known these people. Some honorable mentions go to Aidan, Courtney, Slyfur, Desulated, Marrium, Red, koopa_ shell, pspitus, psp, Flipyap, twilightlulaby, Sonictrainer, crashbuddies, gamedude, Cornmoose, Essence, weerwolf, Lowndes, Fushia, Gangstasan, Sputnick, Mudkipmaster, nintendoecx, paggigalo, telion, Yoweeh, and ZXpegasus. Phew, I think I got everybody.

In other news, I am going to go see The Final Destination sometime this weekend in 3D. It looks awesome. I should be getting some Microsoft points soon so I can get more arcade games. There was this Grand Theft Auto IV guide in a GameStop today that I needed to get. (Since I suck at GTA 4 ) It was $20 and I didn't have any money with me.
Anyways, I got a new emblem yesterday for voting in that character bracket thing. I ended up choosing Link as the winner because I only picked what I thought was going to win. I was going to post my picture to end this blog but I thought nah, I'm probably too good looking that I'd probably break your computer. Anways I should end this blog soon. It's probably now the biggest one I have.

Plus with school starting I probably won't be on as much since I'm going to be a Freshman in High School. Oh well, at least I still have a few weeks until I go back. Hmm, it seems I need 17% to get to level 30. Anyways, I'm gonna end this blog because I'm bored. Bye. Thanks for reading.
