So lately I've been playing alot of games. I just finished completing Prototype and enjoyed the game play alot. I've also been playing alot of Call of Duty lately and for a short time was addicted to the zombies mode in WaW. Hopefully I will be purchasing Fight Night Round 4 soon.

Also does anybody know if there is a limit, either money or amount wise, on how many games you can trade in at Gamestop? I was hoping to trade in a around 20-25 of my games that I don't play anymore so I can get some money and maybe buy an iPod Touch.

My Street Fighter IV Theme is now up. It came out pretty good considering I haven't used Photoshop in almost 8 months and am just starting to figure out CS4. If anyone wants to play me online my current gamertag is MilanFan21 since my primary account ran out of gold but if you send me a friend request send it to both. I mostly play COD4 and Halo 3 for online but if you have any other games you wanna play then that's fine as long as I have it. I've been playing Street Fighter 4 alot lately. Does anyone know how to pull of the move in the normal combo training things part 3 and on. It says it uses moves with cancels but I can't figure it out. Is it that you have to do the moves really quick together or is there a button to press?

Also, i'm thinking of making an Xbox360 union so if anybody wants to be a charter member just leave a comment and I'll put you down when I make the union.

It's been about 8-9 months since my last blog post. Anyways, I'm working on a Street Fighter 4 profile theme. I've been playing the game for the last 2 days and both the art style and gameplay have amazed me. It's a great game and I'd definitely recommend it to any fighting game fans. I have yet to play online though since I'm not that great at it yet and I've unlocked only 2 of the characters; Sakura and Gen.

So I decided to make some sigs. There is a total of 7 of them. I'm going to be using them for my gametrailers.com account. They are all the same pictures but each one has a different quote from COD4 (from when you die in the game). Here they are:

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

6)

7)

My favorites are numbers 1,2, and 6.

I kept them simple and all I did was blur the original image and smudge the smoke on the sides of the soldier. then I used an old brush I had downloaded for photoshop for the red effect coming from the bottom. I kept the font nice and simple and the end result came out better than I expected. Enjoy.

I was going to wait until soccer season started but I decided I might as well change the theme since it's been a while. I made it based off my favorite soccer team AC Milan. The players are Kaka(banner), Pirlo(Blog Image), and Gattusso(Icon). Those are three of my favorite players from the team among many other great ones. I like how it came out. I used the angled strokes filter I believe on the inages of the players which gives it a cool look. I think I also used motion blur on the banner image before the angled stroke filter. Anyways the end result was really good and I'm happy with the way it came out.

Also I saw The Dark Knight and I have to say it is one of the best movies I've seen. Usually I tend to watch movies online but for this one I decided to actually go to the movie theather. It's one of those movies that you have to see at a theather because it is so much better and is definitely worth the price. Alot of parts were unexpected and Heath did an amazing job playing the Joker.

So lately I've been addicted to my 360 and have been playing alot. I've mostly been playing COD4 and Assassin's Creed but I have played Halo 3 alot also. Here's how far I've gotten so far:

COD4: Beat single player campaign on regular. Beat Crew Expendable, Blackout, Charlie Don't Surf, All Ghillied Up, Shock and Awe, The Sins of the Father, and Game Over on Veteran. I'm aiming for a few more acheivements in it. I can get to the next to last area on Mile High Club but when I get that far I usually die.

Halo 3: Beat Career on Normal and found all the skulls. Most acheivements left are from online but I'm horrible at Halo although I got a nice double kill with a sniper on Valhalla.

Assassin's Creed: Beat campaign but have alot of small acheivements to get and the flags/free missions.

Bioshock. Haven't played it as much but the game is amazing. I'm just after the prt where you have to restore the forest area. I just beat that and moved to the next area.

That's all for now. My updated gamerscore is 1940. 60 more to 2000. I'm probably going to start playing Bioshock some more and finish up some of the Assassin's Creed acheivements.

My gamertag is LMNumeroSei. All I have right now is Halo 3 but I'm probably going to get COD4 soon.

Also I can't seem to get my gamercard to show up on the right side like with my wii number. If anybody can tell me how I can get it on let me know.

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out.

So I picked up an Xbox 360 pro and halo 3 since Target didn't have COD4. It comes with the Xbox, a 20 gig hard drive, a wireless controller, a wireless headset, and an ethernet cable. I've played Halo 3 a little bit and so far it is awesome. Great graphics, good controls, and a cool loading screen lol. It's alot of fun so far but I haven't hooked up live yet. Hopefully I will by tomorrow. I'm also gonna borrow Assassin's Creed and Bioshock from my friend tomorrrow. I'll let you guys know my gamertag when I hook it up to live.

So I had to go a full day without anything working in my house. No computer, no lights, no TV, no AIRCONDITION, NOTHING. It was one of the most boring days ever. The power went out around 10:00 PM 2 nights ago. Lots of trees and wires were knocked down and some even fell on cars/houses. Alot of food went bad and we had to put whatever food we had left at my Aunt's and Grandparent's houses so it wouldn't go bad. Then we had to have flashlight to walk around so you can see at night since there was no light at all. It was rediculously hot without aircondition so I had to stay in the basement or in the shade outside where it was cool. We weren't supposed to get power until Friday but luckily we got it last night around midnight. Thankfully the power is back on near me but there are still alot of people without power. I had half days on Monday and Tuesday this week and didn't have school Wednsday and Today.

So since my birthday was last Saturday and I got some money I am planning to get an Xbox360. It's not too bad since it's $350 dollars and I have almost enough with my birthday money to get one. I'm planning to withdraw whatever else I need from my bank account. Most likely I will get COD4 also. I'm gonna try and get one by the end of the month depending on how busy I am and how things work out. I'll let you guys know if I get one.

So I got my provisional license today. The course was really easy and parallel parking was no problem. So now I can finally drive on my own. No need to ask my parents to drive me places. And I can now officially buy M rated games on my own. lol

Finally. I just turned 17 today. I'm going for my license test on manday so I'll let you guys know how I do on that. I also passed my HSPA (High School Proficiency Assessment) test with a 245 in math and a 234 in English. Advanced Proficiency is 250 so I missed it in math by 5 points.

The Euro 2008 starts today. Hopefully Italy wins even though they have 2 players out for the first match (Cannavarro and Pannucci) since they both injured themselves during practice sessions.

I just got my scores this morning and I got a 1660 overall. I got 600 on the math (My best subject), 520 on writing, and 540 an critical reading. Next time I take it I'm aiming for an 1750-1800. This one kid at our school managed to get a 2300 which is crazy. Personally I think my score is pretty good considering that at the school I want to go to (NJIT or New Jersey Institute of Technology), the average score for Critical Writing is 470-570 and the average math is 540 to 640 according to collegeboard.com.

Also, I bought/downloaded some new games. I recently bought Iron Man. The game is okay but it is way too short like most other movie games. I also downloaded FFCC: My Life As A King and Lost Winds from WiiWare along with most of the DLC for FFCC:MLAAK. The games are pretty good for the price and FFCC:MLAAK is somewhat addicting after a while.

My Mario Kart Wii FC is 3866-8589-8719. I've gotten a little better since I first got it. I've only unlocked 3 expert staff ghosts in time trial since I haven't gotten to know most of the tracks. Online I've been doing okay. I've mostly been placing in the 3rd-5th range every once and a while a little higher or lower.

Games: Haven't gotten many games lately. i haven't played Brawl in a while so I'm probably horrible nowadays. Nowadays I don't play games as much in general since school and sports takes up alot of time.

Sports: Well the team I'm playin with is doing okay but somewhat crappy at the same time. Our record is 1-2-1 so it looks **** but we beat a team that is ahead of us and tied the first place team which is pretty good considering that the only other team that tied them was a team we lost to that is now in 1st. Unfortunately though we lost to one of the worst teams in our division so hopefully we will beat them this weekend.

School: This week turned out pretty amazing. Had 2 subs today and yesterday we had a guest speaker in health to talk about drugs. 2 days ago I went in to school talked to some kids, walked around school with this girl, (have a little story to tell later ) had a sub first period and period 4/5, watched videos 2nd perios and period 9/10, had an assembly 3rd period, and had someone who was applying for a job teach during 11th period.

So about this girl.... a few people I know are starting to speculate stuff about me and her. So anyways I'm talking to this girl on a bus ride to a trip one day. I had known her from last year but didn't really talk much to her. She the kind of person that doesn't really talk to you unless you know her or you start a conversation. Anyways so I'm talking to her for a good while on the bus. The next day i get to school and one of the kids I know from soccer says to this other kid "Yo, he got this girl's number on the bus ride yesterday ". So the kid asks me if that really happened and I told him no because that wasn't what happened. So the kid who told him that goes up to another kid from the team and is like "Oh, didn't he get the girl's number on the bus yesterday." and then that kid asked me and I told him no also.(I should have said yeah to joke around)

So then a few days later I'm talking to the girl at there locker and these 2 other kids I know passed by and were all surprised and stuff because it was the first time they saw me talking to her. So the last few days he's been asking me if I'm flirting with her and I told him nah. Then he's like "Oh your just friends" so I told him yeah. And then the next day yet another person. This kid in my Italian class swears that i'm flirting with her even though that's not what is going on. Anyways I don't have that much of a problem with it but it gets annoying and somewhat funny after a while. Truthfully I wouldn't have a problem even if it was true but so far it's not. Maybe eventually .

Oh and tomorrow I have to take the SATs. Unfortunately I have to wake up at 6:30 on a Saturday morning and sit in a class for 3 and a half hours so it's not going to be a fun day. If only all weeks were like this week. (minus the SATs)

Speaking of the guest speaker in Health....that was a pretty good presentation. It was funny when he started pointing out drug references in Disney movies. Supposedly the guy who did it who is a detective had a couple characters based off him in movies and taught a few people how to play the parts in a few movies. He had some few other interesting storys but I'm pretty sure I'd be breaking the TOS pretty badly if I told some of them so I won't.

This blog probably contains the most writing I've done in a while. I guess it will be good practice for the SAT essay section.

It is probably the most I have actually typed since I'm more of a copy and paste kind of person whenever it is possible.

I just finished my Mario Kart Wii Profile Theme. It came out good but the only problem is that the blog header is a little off because of the space to the left. Not something I'm really going to worry about. Otherwise it came out pretty good and I like the look. Hopefully I'll hook up to WiFi tonight so I can put my friend code up.

I picked up a copy of Mario Kart Wii today at Target. So far I haven't been able to play much. Out of the hour-hour and a half I did play it was alot of fun. Haven't gotten a chance to hook it up to WiFi yet but I did download the Mario Kart Channel onto the menu. The Wii Wheel is pretty good and it's easy to control. Mario Kart Wii is another great addition to my collection and hopefully I will get a chance to hook up to WiFi soon. I'm most likely going to make a Mario Kart Wii profile theme soon also.

Here are the pics. Tell me what you think about them:

My other shoe. Didn't feel like taking more pictures since I was able to find a pic of them on the internet unlike my other pair. I couldn't find the other pair in the color I have. Here are my other ones. I have big feet since I wear a size 13. Sort of hard to find stuff in that size.

The second pair is more of an indoor soccer shoe but I'm going to use them as a second pair for school so I don't get the other pair messed up. Once these wear out I'll probably use them for soccer.

Well I had my third game for spring soccer season and it was our 1st win. We lost our first game to a team that was alot worse than us because of stupid goals. The second game I was out because I got a red card because the ref had no clue what he was doing and listened to the parents from the other team. The game yesterday we won 2-1. One goal the kid from our team scored was from a free kick about 40 yards out.

I also got PES2008 yesterday. It's not the best soccer game I played but it is somewhat fun. I still prefer FIFA over it. The controls took some time to get used to and I don't like the fact that you can't control the defense yourself (probably because of the fact that I play defense). I also bought 2 new pairs of shoes yesterday. I really needed a pair of shoes badly and I couldn't find a pair I liked for some reason. Anyways I ended up going to Finish Line and found 2 pairs of shoes. both of them ended up costing $10 less than the price said. I'll put some pictures of them up later or tomorrow.

I finally decided to change my profile theme since the metroid one was getting way too old. Since SSBB just came out and I have it, I decided to base it off of that. Didn't put much work into it and got it done it no time but it came out okay.

It's awesome so far. The graphics and gameplay are great. I have yet to hook it up to WiFi but I'm going to do that right now. It was a huge surprise this morning. I was the first one at my local Target so I got the first copy from there. lol It was really cold though and my fingers were numb when I got home. Anyways I'm off to go play more. Let me know your FCs if any of you guys have the game.
