Might Purchase a PSP system.. but im unsure if i should get the PSP Go and download a few games or buy a PSP 3000 bundle...
any thoughts?
Hey, guys!
I haven't been here for a while. Miss you! I also miss all the shows I used to watch and stopped for some reason. Some of them got canceled, some of them just took a turn that is not really my type... Happy to say that a couple of weeks ago I found a new show that got my attention. It had ended long time ago but I just found it and I really liked it. I am talking about Queer as folk (US). It's really a great show. Pity I don't get to watch all the episodes in the right order but I am handling it somehow.
I also started to watch True blood but I am still not really into it.I like the main story but some of the side stories are a bit too much for me. H2O is a really nice show, I am waiting for the third season. Fairy-tales are so my kind and mermaids are one of my favorites. I also like Everwood for the human connections it shows.
Now maybe it's time for me to mention the shows I abandoned. First of them is Without a trace. I heard it had ended this year but I actually stopped watching after season 5. I just didn't like it anymore. The second one, I think, is CSI. After the main character Grissom left... I can't imagine it. Haven't watch CSI: Miami for a while too, but maybe I will make it up sometime. I think that are the most significant of the shows I abandoned. Goodbye to them, wish them luck!
Maybe these days I will have time to write something more personal like what is going in my life these days. By then I wish you great time!

So it's been a while since my last look at DLC but the wait has given me time to expand on more...Here's the rundown on some latest DLC packs.
Saint's Row 2: Corporate Warfare DLC: 560 MS Points, $7 on PSN:
Once again Volition drops the DLC ball by offering a meager amount of content. At least this time they lowered the price of their scraps. In this pack, we're treated to a few new MP maps, a few new missions, some achievements, a few new oldies cars that are fun to look at, and some more customization options for the player character.
The three missions that come with this DLC are standard fare and do very little to expand the story any further from the main game. They almost feel like there's no point to them at all because pretty much nothing big is accomplished. I did mention the cars being cool because they have some old vehicles from around the 50's or maybe earlier, I'm not much of a car buff. However, playing co-op and seeing a guy doing drive-bys in an antique car dressed like Jesus is a sight to behold.
Overall if you're a fan and you have some money to toss away, would like some new cars, MP maps and achievements it still feels like a bit of a waste but it does supply some entertainment.
Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage DLC: 800 MS Points
The first set of DLC for Fallout 3 doesn't really capture the feel of Fallout 3 at all and in my opinion is the weakest of the DLC released for this game. In OA, you receive a message from the BoS Outcasts that they need help with something and upon arrival to their location; you find that they have happened on a weapons cache that can only be unlocked by people who pass a test in a virtual simulation.
The simulation as you must know by now has to do with the Chinese Assault on Anchorage, Alaska and involves the player character going on a mission to stop the Chinese occupation of Alaska. Unfortunately all Role Playing is tossed out the window in favor of squad based shooter missions. There's very little exploration of the frozen landscape, no dialogue choices and in fact, the only choices in this DLC are the squad member types and if you want to leave the simulation.
This DLC really feels like it doesn't belong and it was kind of painful to play through but the rewards are kind of worth it in the end. Some achievements are unlocked and there is winterized power armor and some new weapons to be had at the finish. I did have one strange thing happen at the very and I hope someone can explain this to me...
SPOILERS~~~~~~~~~~~
Are the Outcasts supposed to murder each other in the end? I was going through the vault, collecting ammo when all hell broke loose and everyone killed each other in a hail of minigun rounds and rocket fire. No one was left alive.

Fallout 3: The Pitt DLC: 800 MS Points
So far, and plotwise I must say, This DLC is the best in my book. The setting is incredible, the story is pretty good and the characters are pretty memorable. In this DLC the player character has to infiltrate a slaver colony in Pittsburg and eventuallyassist with the rebellion or side with the slavers. Either choice, the player character should walk away wondering if they made the right decision.
This DLC has a few new perks, some new weapons, armor,achievements and one of the better atmospheres of the game. In the slave pens there is a feeling of hopelessness, in the steel yard where the player is sent to scavenge ore while killer diseased maniacs and bandits roam, there's an ever lurking sense of danger and finally when the player character gets to uptown where the important slavers live, there's almost a feeling of disgust.
This DLC is pretty much a compact version of all the best parts of Fallout 3: foreboding environment, some good items, crazy creatures, some nice rewards and a tough decision in the end. The most interesting part is definitely the scavenging portion where the player character is put in a map and tasked tofind 10 ~ 100 pieces of ore. The more ore found, the better the rewards. I usually hate hunting for items but the map is small and the rewards are good so I didn't mind at all.
In the end, this DLC really makes up for Operation Anchorage and if it had more changes to the game like the next DLC has, it would be on the top of my list as THE DLC to get for Fallout 3.
Fallout 3: Broken Steel DLC: 800 MS Points:
The reason this has is the best DLC to get for Fallout 3 is that it ups the level cap, gives the game a much better ending, supplies new perks, tougher enemies and some new items all in one pack. I don't know about anyone else but while playing Fallout 3, I was done leveling up way before I was actually done with the game, and to me, once the leveling up aspect was gone, I had all the best equipment and pretty much killed everything there was to be killed, the game felt more like a standard FPS.
Now I'm level 30 and there are creatures that can and have kicked my ass and the game feels great again. Albino Radscorpions, Feral Ghoul Reavers and Super Mutant Overlords all make sure to bring any wanderer back down off of their high horse as these creatures are fast, durable and deadly. My first meeting with a reaver started with me mistaking the creature for a normal ghoul and attempting to shoot it in the face with my silenced pistol, the mistake was quickly rectified as I was killed by a Glowing One and two Reavers who just soaked up shells from my Terrible Shotgun.
As with the Fallout games before this, this DLC makes sure the player character is involved in wiping out the Enclave once and for all. The quest takes part at some familiar locations and ends up with a battle aboard a huge mobile command center where the character has another decision to make at the end. I found this decision much easier to make than the one found in the end of the game or in The Pitt expansion and that was it.
In the game there is a monster of a new gun called the Tesla Cannon and my favorite new armor in the game called the Hellfire Power Armor.
Fallout 3: Point Lookout DLC: 800MS Points.
Gone is the urban or rocky wasteland of the metro DC area and in its place is a swamp littered with cultists and deformed inbred mutants. I've always liked swamp settings in games and I was hoping for a more, deep south, Louisiana marshland feeling from the environment but Point Lookout does a decent enough job in atmosphere without it. Found in this DLC are a new map about 1/5 the size of Fallout 3's main map, new quests, armor, weapons, items, creatures and achievements.
I have to say that this is close to being my second favorite DLC for Fallout 3 slightly behind The Pitt but far above Operation Anchorage. There's a quest in this DLC that blew me away with the insanity behind it. Pretty much the main quest involves a rivalry between a couple of century old enemies with the player character getting stuck in the middle between these two maniacs. Along the way you'll run into a bunch of inbred, tribal warriors, ghouls and if you're lucky enough you'll come across some interesting side quests also.
The player character is free to go back and forth from point lookout to the DC metro area whenever they wish by use of a ferryboat which is a good thing if one wishes to stuck up items to repair armor or weapons that probably won't be found in this backwoods locale, or just to offload all the strange new loot that can be found.
The landscape is finely crafted and a lot of detail is put into certain places. I came across a giant tree with a parachute stuck in it and a skeleton nearby. Littered about the skeleton was a helmet, an assault rifle and an axe in the tree which, while this scene has no real importance, had me stop in my tracks an think about what may have happened to this poor guy. There are little scenes like that mixed all over the place lending some charm to the area.
There's really no new powerful armor but there is a new Double Barreled Shotgun which trumps that damage caused by almost all of the other shotguns except The Terrible Shotgun. I was a fan of shotguns in the previous Fallouts so in this game it was no different. All in all this quest takes about a handful of hours to see and do almost everything and thankfully, with a new character, this quest can be completed at any time which should be a nice distraction to anyone starting the game over again or beginning for the first time.
I'm back from a very long sleep, and i know that everyone whom i've added as friends will not welcome me back, but i hope that any would talk to me, i know that i wasn't loging in on gamespot very long, but i swear from now on i will try to be on it as long as i can, posting in forums, helping unions, and most of all having fun, so please could anyone help me.^_^
P.S. My level went down from 17 to 16, but i don't care as long as i have fun with the ones who will support me.:3
I haven't been here in awhile, and after taking a look around, it looks about the same as it has been. It's gotten so boring here on GS (particularly OT, which is what this will mostly be about). I still think, and continue to say, that ever since the last redesign, everything (in my opinion) has been going downhill. Thread quality is slowly disintegrating, lots of the cool and interesting people left (save for a small few), and lots of memes get banned. Now, I can understand why they'd ban memes, because they pop up all the time and they are annoying, but at the same time, it's what made this place fun and why I went here. I'd crack up everytime someone posted the O RLY? owl or try to summon Captain Planet, or touch someone's shoulder while doing a barrel roll, and I even enjoyed the occassional account suicides to see who'd get creative with it, but now all we have are repetitive relationship/politic/religious/music threads.
About the only thing I ever come here for anymore are for gaming news, which is about all this site is good for anymore, but I've gotten to the point where I've stopped with reviews as well, what the **** are the multiples of .5 for? What influenced that decision? What was wrong with saying "this game gets an 8.3" or "this game gets a 7.8" or something like that? I enjoy it when they were more specific with the review system, because it let me know exactly what I was going to, or not going to get. Not like that matters much though, I don't play video games much anymore.
Basically though, I've pretty much stopped coming here, and what do I do instead? I'm probably chatting with my real friends, playing guitar for countless hours a day, or if I am on a forum, I've started going to Ultimate-Guitar.com. They have an OT board called The Pit, which I must say, I get quite a few more laughs on, and they are much looser about some of the rules. Plus, being more into music than video games, I learn a lot there on Ultimate-Guitar.com
Simply put, if you were wondering where I was and why I wasn't here like I was over a year ago, you now know. 
The background of this band is somewhat of a funny story. They are a hometown band from San Diego, and played at Warped Tour and the local county fair. A few rumors had been spread around by the upper classman at my school that one of the Chem teachers was in a band, but no one really knew about his music because you could not find it on the internet. On the first day to school, we show up to our Chem period and our teachers name was Brian Miller. He hands out a syllabus about the rest of the year, and the first thing I notice is that his email is listed as bmiller@flighttoathena.com. So I'm wondering if this is the guy that people were talking about, and at the end of the period he mentions that he is in a band and that we should check him out.A little bit about Mr. Miller before we continue. He has the largest cause of ADD that I have ever seen. The man is by far the coolest teacher I have had in my life, and is a pretty good teacher to boot. His course is a little hard, but I've always enjoyed a challenge. I wouldn't call him skinny or fat, just in between, and a little bit on the short side.So today I finaly decided to check out his band. They are on Itunes if anyone would like to buy a copy of their EP. It's self titled and only five dollars. Two of the songs are really amazing, Blameless Vessel and Speak Indie. The other songs are pretty good. Turns out that Mr. Miller is the lead singer for the band, and his voice is crazy. He doesn't really seem like a singer, I thought he was a guitarist. But, he wrote all five songs and sings them, which is really amazing. Hopefully you guys will check out the band and support them.
why are they gone i earned them now they are gone WTF! i deserve a year trial of total access!!!!!!!!!!!
this movie was awesome... tell me what do you think about it if you saw ,you could post if you didn't see it to.
diegof.
see you later
Sony seems to have made a lot of mistakes and it would seem that this console war is between nintendo and MS
Sony; is placing too much time and effort into the blu-ray player, knowing sony`s track record this propetiary device will not fare well outside of the PS3 console, just look at betamax, umd`s and mini discs - yes it can store more info but that doesn`t matter, if a programmer is good he can condense info and program wisely. For instance take the program kkreiger which is only 96k, it looks as if it werer several hundred mega bytes. never heard of it heres a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger
and in reality who cares about blu-ray or hd-dvd for that matter, i mean are people really going to upgrade all there movies, tv and so on for this- albeit gamers who are money poor to begin with, maybe they should have marketed that for movie buffs, not gamers. Another thing is Sony`s reliance on just having the fastest most powerful console; well thats all well and good but it needs to be resonable as well, i feel this console war is going to be less about power and more about experiance. it seems sony is making the same mistakes sega did years ago - making the most powerful console regardless of price and ability to program for.
.
MS; well what can i say over 5.3 million sold so far with great games, connectivity and its only just begun. _real time counter
The developers of gears of war had said that that game was only using 1 core at E3!!! the 360 has 3!! http://xbox360.qj.net/Gears-of-War-Only-Running-on-One-Core-/pg/49/aid/3378
The 360 also has xbox live and arcade which are very succesful.
NINTENDO; well again what can i say nintendo has rabid fans, a great looking system, a great price to performance ratio, its got it all and is going to be tough to beat.
so i have changed my view for a third time i think MS will come out on time after x-mas with nintendo right behind
by next x-mas i see nintendo taking the lead with MS very close behind and Sony very far behind, in 5-6 years SOny will catch up and surpass but for 2-3 years MS and nintendo will be fighting for the top spot
WOW these dayz
All that nusic is about is
Curseing and voilance
Although alot of artist keep it clean and dandy
