Hello everybody. Haven't posted a blog in a while. Mainly because it's the FREAKING HOLIDAYS. Although, not for the reason why most would think.

I'm currently in the most pressured times of my school career thus far. Since school ended last week Friday, I've been pressed for time. As of December 18th, those in Year 11 of our high school (10th grade for America) have been let out on 'break'. 'Break', as in 'studying our asses off for our MOCK Exams and preparing for our GCSEs'. So basically, I've become a drone, programmed to prepare for what will ultimately determine what I can and can't achieve as I move on for the IB programme.

But do not fret, fellow GameSpotters, I am still sane, and have sure still played games here and there while I gave myself a break. I've actually been spending my gaming time playing Forza Motorsport 3 and Mass Effect. Both incredibly addictive games. I'm more so playing Mass Effect to actually give it a second chance though. It and I got off the wrong foot when I first played it last year. I'll probably get around to reviewing them if I really feel the urge.

Also in family related news, my older sister has abandoned me with an ass of an older brother (although he did get me headphones...so points for him) to go live it up in Canada with her boyfriend. Not only that, but she's also staying with my best friend. NEITHER of them had the decency to tell me until they left. I had to find out myself. I was not impressed. Christmas was not the same without her. ****ing ****.

But enough of my self indulgence. MERRY FREAKING (belated) CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU.

Feel free to tell me whatever you may have received/given this holiday season.

Yeah, I dunno why the title is so random.

Anyway, I've been craving some new music lately, since I haven't heard anything new from my proven artists.

If you're actually bored enough to read my blogs, please, leave any suggestions of artists that you think I may like.

**NOTE: Not a fan of screamo.

I have a list of some artists that I already know in a previous blog, found here:http://www.gamespot.com/users/MadVybz/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25735857

So try to suggest something that isn't in that list!

Bad.

Very. Very. Bad.

If any of you brave souls wish to venture into that laughably terrible chasm, download the demo via XBL/PSN. Actually no, don't. I couldn't bear having the burden of your suffering on my shoulders.

I'm honestly at a loss for wordsat this point.

Well, for Modern Warfare 2, it takes 4. (5 if you include Captain Price). I just played through the campaign of MW2 tonight, and I must say that I had my mind blown away. Never before have I experienced such a thrill while gaming. Awesome action, awesome control,but a rather weak storyline (that I'll gladly overlook in this case. It's a shooter. ). MW2 is a perfect example of why certain things work better in interactive mediums as opposed to movies.

But, as I was playing through MW2, it became clear that IW wanted to bring that 'shock and awe' feeling back from MW1, where your friendly neighbourhood Marine gets burned to a crisp by the fallout of a nuclear explosion. By the first time in MW2 it still had that thrill, but then it just went downhill from there. After experiencing the first death, going through 2 more just feels rather bland if you can understand what I mean. Nearing the end (I managed to avoid spoilers for this whole time. Surprised? ) I was actually expecting Soap to die. I know that it's war and people are dying left and right, but who really thought that this would be a good idea? Imagine sitting through a Batman movie only to have Batman killed 20 minutes into it, replaced by some no-name, and repeat that process 2 more times. You'd be pretty annoyed.

I'm not really gonna review MW2, because we all know that I don't have to. I just wanted to give my thoughts on that little part in particular. (Oh yeah, call me evil; There were no survivors during the airport scene. )

You bastard! How DARE you make a song for TWILIGHT? A movie filled with PANSY, FAKE VAMPIRES! Remember back when vampires weren't emo, gay or both? I sure do. I mean seriously Lupe, I thought you were above this. I love you and your music, but I'm honestly disappointed. I mean, it's freakin' TWILIGHT. Vampires are no longer cool, and it's all because of that GARBAGE. I've been told time and time again that the novels weren't even focused on the vampires but the love story! If that's the case, why DISGRACE vampires and have them forever labelled and humiliated? You could replace them with PYGMY MARMOSETS and still get the point across. CURSE YOU TWILIGHT. AND YOUR MOTHER.

I'm honestly calling a meeting for Richter, Simon and Trevor. They have a very important job to do.

(This is partly serious, partly humor. Any females that may enjoy Twilight, please don't find out where I live and eat me. )
