Hey peeps!
So, long time no see, huh? There are a few of you whom know my daily musings from Facebook, but for those not in the know, heres a concise update.
The main piece of news is.... I'm engaged! To a lovely lady called Keri, 27, has a little boy by the name of Iestyn, who is 5 years old. I'm a very happy man. As well as Keribeing my partner, she is abrilliant mate, who makes me laugh.
I'm working in a good job, pub work still, but out of the city, and more on the outskirts, very relaxed atmosphere, easy enough work, and fun when its busy.
Still doing shows! Since the start of the year I've starred in 2 ( HMS Pinafore and Patience), and been part of the cast in one ( Company), thoroughly enjoying it still, rehearsing for a new one to go on stage in April, Pirates of Penzance, I've auditioned for Frederic, which I got thankfully, huage role, one I'm really looking forward to sinking my teeth into .
Finally games... not much to be said on that front really. Managed to pick up Resident Evil Remake for the Wii, which I was surprised to see in the shops, but been a blast playing it again. Also Lego Star Wars, which is more for Iestyn, but Keri and I have been having fun playing it too. Hoping for an XBox 360 again soon, though may be a while yet... fingers crossed.
Thats as concise as it gets!

Well its been awhile since i could say this but i have been active at GS for over 3 months yet again!!!!! i think the last time was last summer..... but the good news is that ill be active until next summer and beyond!!! barring any strange occurances and horrible timings with classes and my social life that currently is non-exsistent due to my classes and homework lately.....
a few things that are happening to me as of right now.... just beat uncharted 2 in only 14 hrs of play time. now im going back to collect all the treasures that i missed.....only 70 more to go..... Im also working on both resistances, call of duty w@w, and prince of persia to get the last few trophies in that game.... Im looking forward to modern warfare 2 coming on 11/10/09. as well as assasins creed 2, bad company 2, and the FF XIII's coming in the spring next year.
now back to the Final Fantasy Fans Union. The Clash of Legends has arrived!!!!!! its been one of my projects in the making with major help from IceDefenseGod and Darmi. making a working game for the union is harder than i thought it would be.... especially with all the variables that i have to include...... it will just be harder for me to defeat the heros/villians in battle. im actually really looking forward to how this is going to work.
one more random fact that i just want to throw out there. ive been awake for about 20 1/2 hrs by the time i finish this blog post and i probably wont get to bed for about another 14 hrs.... lets give 3 cheers to homework that professors give to us over breaks when we dont have anytime to do it because we just wanna relax!........ sometimes i wonder why i picked physics as my minor.... definately not worth the all-nighter to finish the homework.....
well this has been a long update for AlBead and much needed!

Battlefield: Bad Company (360): It's a decent game. 7,0.
Wanted: Weapons of Fate (360): Such a terrible game. It's by the same people who made Terminator: Salvation so I should've known what I had coming. The game is decent if you play in short bursts though. 5,5.
Open Season (360): This is my favorite casual / kids game ever. Very relaxing and fun. This was actually my second time finishing it. 6,5.
Call of Duty 3 (360): Good game overall, but has some design flaws in my opinion. 7,5.
Halo everyone it's finalfan789. Uh I decided to log into this account for nostalgic purposes and to look at all my past blogs. Geez, I sure have grown from back then...I remember joining GS back in 2006...wow has it really been that long. I joined around the time that Wii and PS3 came out...wow. So yea if you for some reason still don't know about my new account, here it is : -Skatman-

So how have you all been? (to those who havent tracked Skatman yet )
For those of you that don't know I have a Wii now, I play Brawl online everyday, i don't play DS games anymore and no longer have a PSP. I also play Counter Strike Source and Team Fortress 2 on PC during the weekends. I have played and beaten SMG, SSBB, RE4, NMH, Wii Sports, Lost Winds, Megaman9, LoZOoT, SMB3 and Okami on the Wii. I recently replayed the MGS series (i have the essentials collection), and the GoW series on PS2. I also recently bought and am playing MLB09 The Show on PS2, Twin Snakes on GC, and will start playing Eternal Darkness soon. I just got a job, I start on friday, and am going to be buying Super Paper Mario and MarioKart Wii upon recieving my first check. I will also be saving up for a PS3 this summer.

Chapter 18: Serene Night, Part IV
____________
Tonight, the suffering finally ends...
I had doubts. Ever since I met Lucero and his friends, I had doubts. Was I really going to kill these innocent people for the Final X... and for some dead person? Through the many battles, I tortured myself... and I tortured those around me.
I was forced to betray them...
I felt I was possessed...
I could not control myself...
Then, I forced Faith to betray her true love... .
.
Lucero: I would never leave you to die. You're my life, Faith!
Saku: Like he never said that to some other girl before. Don't trust him. You don't need him.
Lucero: Faith, no!
Faith: ......SHUT UP!!!
This outcome was beyond what I expected. I never knew my powers of manipulation would tear apart such innocence.
It was then I saw Faith point the gun I had given her at Lucero.
I was petrified of what I've done. I broke free from being possessed. I can practically feel the chains disappearing... Redemption... Salvation... Liberation...
In an instant, the sound a gunshot pierced the air...
This was my final chance. I refused to break apart a strong relationship. Before any seconds passed by, I rushed into the bullet's path... in order to save the enemies that are my friends. Lucero... Faith, forgive me...
The storm had passed... It is just calm rain... No disorder...
A very slim amount of blood released into the air, glistening in the moonlight...
The crimson liquid looked so graceful...
His eyes stared at the moon's peaceful presence... .
.
I never noticed how perfect the moon is. I wanted to scream at it. Display my inner hatred...
How much I hated the Final X.
How much I hated someone I never knew.
It was too late to scream. .
.
They were once tense and green... This tension faded to tranquility... The green faded to a lifeless black.
He gave a weak chuckle...
____________
FLASHBACK:
The bell of the clock tower rang to count out the hours: two in the afternoon. On the park bench, was Saku. His left forearm was uncovered from the gauze that was wrapped tightly, revealing many long, scars. In his right hand, was a pocket knife. He sighed and carved deeply into his left forearm.
Saku (thinking): No matter how much wounds I have given, I cannot feel the pain and I cannot bleed...
He carved another empty gash.
____________
Saku: At last........ I finally bleed...
He grinned. Behind Saku, was Lucero... absolutely traumatized. In front of Saku, was Faith... holding the Desert Eagle with smoke coming from the barrel. A shining tear was coming from her eye. Saku started falling towards the ground. .
.
Lucero: S-Saku...
Lucero broke his fall...
Saku: ......Lucero?
Faith and Rival run up to Saku. Saku was gently placed on the ground.
Saku: ...Faith? .......Rival?
Faith: Saku! Please don't die!
They are true friends. They try to save me, but all is vain. I examined my own blood. I was losing countless amounts of it. I stared at the Final X with disdain. I looked at their emotionless expressions. However, Nara's expression was what created a gash in my soul.
We were never related, but Nara was like a sister to me. She would always tell me what was on her mind... what made her concerned... what was bothering her. Nara trusted me. One day, I told her that if I died, she wouldn't cry... that she would be brave. .
.
Nara didn't fully break into sorrow. She stood still in her place like the others. However, in her eyes, I sensed she was suffering inside. She's just a tortured soul, like me. Her perfectly straight, long, platinum hair flowed with the breeze. She was the only one who had worn a dress: black with a silver trimming. Her blue-green eyes were the only ones that were not corrupted. .
.
When Nara was concerned about Faith, I told her the truth: Faith loved Lucero and I was just her friend. I've heard from Zeto that I'm the only important person on her mind. Abyss stressed the fact that Nara loved me. If only I could tell her how I'd feel...
I then looked at the puzzle. It opened to unveil the Twilight Diamond. I had a choice. I have to decide between what I cherish most and my lust for power... Like any sane person, I cherished my life... my liberation... my friends...
.
In a matter of moments, I would lose them all. We needed THREE of the five Twilight Diamonds and a soul of a remnant.
The Final X initially had one Twilight Diamond. Lucero had another Twilight Diamond. Vladimir, the Traveler of Fire, had the third. I easily defeated Vladimir and obtained his Diamond. I demanded that Faith would meet me at Sidus Cemetery (the setting where this event is currently taking place) and bring Lucero's Twilight Diamond. She gave the Twilight Diamond to me. The Final X had the three Twilight Diamonds in their grasp.
The soul of a remnant... A remnant like Lucero, Nara, or any of the other Final X. I ended up assuming the role of relinquishing my soul... .
.
I was speechless... I had to respond to what was going around me, but I hardly could.
Saku: My blood.... I've never seen any blood before...
Lucero: It's... It's my fault! It's my fault that you're... dying. Why?
Saku gave a weak chuckle.
Again, speechless.
Saku: It's not..... your fault. It's not..... Faith's fault...... nor Rival's. It's my fault...
Faith: No, it's not. Rival: Don't be ridiculous, Saku.
Lucero: I was supposed to die. Why did you save me?! .
.
Saku smiled.
What should I tell him as I was my life was slipping away within his sight?
Saku: Because....... you are like a book, Lucero............. waiting to be opened..... waiting to be read...
With that statement, Saku solemnly closed his once fierce eyes. I wish I could smile. I wish I could tell Lucero, Faith, and Rival that everything will be alright...
My mind, heart, and body departed into the heavenly and peaceful part of my own oblivion...
Lucero: Saku... SAKU! SAKU!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!
He grabbed Saku's shoulders. Lucero shook Saku's dead body, desperately trying to believe he was only sleeping and he could wake up. He glared at the Final X members. The Final X members were staring at Lucero, as if he was only a psychotic madman. One of the Final X members was holding the puzzle that contained the Twilight Diamond. It was opened. The diamond glistened in the hands of the more orderly members: Xavier. Xavier's silver hair was long, wavy and curly. His emerald green eyes pierced Lucero.
Lucero: You... YOU DID THIS!!!
Xavier: Me?
A melodic laugh came from Xavier. It wasn't maniacal like Saku's. It was similar to a musical instrument.
Xavier: This was Saku's plan, you naive remnant... .
.
He stepped out of his place and elegantly glided across the ground to Saku's body.
Xavier: ...The fragment...
Lucero began to lunge at Xavier. Then it all came in a blur. With a simple flick of his wrist, Xavier uncovered his gleaming rapier. Before Lucero could even pull out his sword, Xavier flicked his wrist again... this time it was more pronounced. Xavier's rapier carved deeply into Lucero's leg. Before Lucero could even bleed, Scythe and Abyss stepped in and seized Lucero from further attacking. Other Final X members seized both Faith and Rival.
Xavier: Why the sudden protectiveness? A moment ago, you were at his throat...
Lucero said nothing as Xavier let out a drawn sigh.
Xavier: Friendship. It is such a burden...
Xavier then stared at his left hand. Within seconds, all the veins in his left arm glowed with an emerald luster. He raised it in the air. A strong zephyr passed; Xavier's entire left arm was engulfed in green flames. The fire then shot out into the air. Moments later, emerald green flames surrounded Saku's body. Saku's peaceful body floated in the air. It emitted a white, silvery light. A shining orb with color of ice blue was released from Saku... his soul. However, not all of his soul was ice blue for it was corrupted with a lime green... apparently it was the fragment of Shadesu's soul. Xavier had spread his hands across the sky. Shadesu's green fragment separated from Saku's ice blue soul. Saku's ice blue soul crumbled and rained upon Saku's corpse. It seemed that it was absorbed.
Xavier held Shadesu's soul fragment in the air. He then grabbed Shadesu's sword. Xavier walked to Shadesu's grave. He crumbled the green fragment and let it pieces rain upon the grave - it was soon absorbed into the ground.
Xavier: The Diamonds...
A cloaked Final X member placed the three Twilight Diamonds on top of the grave. It soon gave off a bright blue luster. They floated in the air and began orbiting around the tombstone. As the diamonds spun at uncharted speeds, the distance between the tombstone and the revolving diamonds gradually increased. Earthquakes erupted. At an instant, Shadesu's grave emitted a bright, green light. Afterwards, a giant green beam had shot into the night sky, from Shadesu's grave. This beam had split the clouds apart, unveiling the magnificent stars behind it. The cemetery slowly turned into a massacre. The boulders, tombstones, and the bones that lay beneath them, were flying in the air, orbiting around the green beam - as if this beam was the center of gravity for everything in the cemetery. The iron gates and surrounding buildings caved in. The only ones that were not affected by the small gravitational pull (compared to the Earth's) were the mortals.
In the midst of everything, Lucero, Faith and Rival broke free from the Final X members' clutches. They sprinted towards Saku's body, dodging the oncoming tombstones. Once they were a few feet away from Saku's body, Lucero, Faith, Rival, and Saku disappeared.
Soon, the flying, rotating objects stopped and gently fell to the ground. The Twilight Diamonds had stopped shining and, like the other objects, dropped to the ground. A dark figure walked out of the green pillar of light. The Final X members kneeled in reaction. The green beam then disintegrated behind the deity. Xavier presented Shadesu's sword - a blood-stained, scratched 6-foot long blade. Silently, the shadowy character gripped the sword and examined it briefly. The figure simply walked past the members into a spot that was dimly lit, unveiling his features. .
.
He was a male hedgehog. His fur was whiter than the snow, paler than any of the remnants. As empty this white can be, ironically, small rainbows can be seen in an angle. His hair was long - down to his waist. A few small locks of his hair had spiked out. The bangs (or fringes) that perfectly curtained his face were shoulder length. His face was solemn as he stared at the Final X members. His vibrant green eyes pierced the souls of the Final X members. Xavier stood up.
Xavier: Sh-Shadesu?
____________
Four figures were at a beach in the middle of the night. One was standing on the shoreline, looking out into the horizon... deep in thought. Another one was sitting in the sand, also in thought. Beside them, was another figure lying on the sand, apparently dead. The last, a feminine figure, was crouched beside the dead one.
And indeed it has been a while, since a wrote a blog anyway.
I have been here every once in a while, but I had decided not to write blogs anymore since almost no one read them, which I concluded from the number of comments I would get everytime I posted them. Even having been here almost all this time, I barely and rarely posted, so it seems like I was absent from Gamespot. Which is probably the reason that I got demoted from the only Union in which I was an Officer, I think there was only one.
Either way, I came here to just write about the current events of my life and other things instead of wasting people time by posting things that have happened since February.
Well, one thing is for sure and that is that school is fine as always, better than last year. I'm not that worried about my grades since I have been able to keep them at a B average throughout the whole semester, which isn't over till the end of January but still good enough that I think I can keep them that way. Now instead of wasting time about my ****s, friends, etc. I'll keep it strictly to entertainment things, for this blog only since I have the feeling it will be long enough with what I am about to tell you. Even though it really isn't that much.
Games. I really haven't bought that many games, three so far, not counting MGS4 which was the game I had been anticipating throughout the last couple of months of my Sophmore year. So besides MGS4, I have bought.
Soul Calibur IV, Rogue Galaxy, and Dead Space.
I really like all the games. I plan on having Rogue Galaxy being the second-to-last game I buy for the PS2 because I want to get KH game, RE: CoM. It is a great game, I was bored one day and so I went to rent a game. I decide to check it out, thought it might be good and I ended up enjoying it but I really wanted to finish the story. So instead of renting it over and over, I just decided to buy it. Soul Calibur IV is a great game that I love and a franchise that I have been following since the first one on the Dreamcast. I liked SCIV but I wish there would've been more things to do in it. At least other game modes like Chronicles of the Sword or that other one from SCII. I have forgotten what there was in the first one because I haven't played it in ages. Now the last game I got was Dead Space, it was either that or Fallout 3. And I wanted a game that made me...how to say it....make me scream like a girl. That wasn't the actual thing I wanted to say but just go along with it, I needed a good horror game. So I decided to go with Dead Space and I have to say that it was worth it. I felt throughout the game that I had to be on my feet because I knew that sooner or later I was going to get freaked out. Which I did end up doing, in the beginning. I kill this guy (or mutant, whatever suits you) and I feel safe at the moment, thinking there was no one there besides me and the corpse. I turn around just to see another one pop out and bam! It starts attacking, I really liked the game and this game has showed me one thing: Horror games are not meant for me, or at least not yet. I still enjoyed the game, even if I was scared half the time.
Wow, that was a big paragraph. Next section is movies, this has been a year of movies being the least that I pay attention. I did go to see many movies to the theathers but I didn't buy any, except for The Dark Knight. I was planning on buying it in Blu-Ray but I decided to buy it later and got it on DVD for the moment.
Last part is to be about this site. No, its nothing bad. I have to say that I like the new layout it has, its pretty good but I feel that the older one was faster, at least to me. That was at the beginning though, now it runs like the old one used to. For me, that is. I do wonder though, how in the world did I get so many people in my friends list, can't even remember how I met some of you. The only thing that I can think of is that I just went randomly adding people. It sounds like something it fits me. Having many people on it, and half of them not remember or knowing who they are. So I'll remove some people, if you want to stay as a friend then just add me back but of course you probably have to read this first, which once again I doubt many people will, or at least people in who are least people who are listed as my friend.
One last thing though, which is probably late to say but better late than never:
Merry Christmas!!
At last, and my, it's a beauty. Well I got it like 3 weeks ago but I was too busy playing it... I am sorry!!
Recently Passed (and omg, yes, its the game of the year without question):
*Metal Gear Solid 4
Recently Purchased (and I really like all of the games!):
Assassins Creed PS3
Heavenly Sword PS3
Soul Calibur 4 PS3
Recently "online" purchased:
Flow PS3
Lingering in Shadows PS3 (this is no game, its like a crappy 6.50 minute interactive and sense-less movie/clip that uses good potential of the PS3 without real motive, call it a "Demo" of the PS3 Capacities, a waste of money... should be free! I am going to write a review on this soon too)
Games that I am willing to buy soon for my new black knight system! (After being satisfied with my new games):
- Dead Space PS3
- Prince of Persia PS3 (it must have a good or very good review, and I am confident it will)
I am also declaring:
I am pissed off with my Wii!, its packed away with games that I have truly enjoyed like Zelda, Galaxy and Metroid 3... BUT do NOT worry Nintendo! I had a SNES, a N64 (before a PS1), a Gamecube (before PS2) and a Wii (before PS3) and I will not sell it for peanuts (I am not selling it) or place it in the garbage bin....
WHY?
Because I know you (Nintendo) are going to disclose this (secret) game that will melt me alive (zomg I am melting, melting!) and make me sleepless every night until I grab it and violate it (not literaly) out of the box!
Now... I don't know why I am doing this, its not like I am Mr. Celebrity or Place a blog every night discussing what games are wicked, why the Xbox/Ps3 is better, oooor typing about stupid unnecessary stuff.... But I haven't blogged anything for like two years, decided to click to my name too look at my game collection list... and discover that I have one crappy blog with one crappy sentence declaring on how great Zelda Twilight Princess is... and I got 3 comments so I thought "whoa" I must be popular
About Zelda, it's an awesome game, I love it... in the end do… it dint please me do, and it dint give me that satisfaction.
But! In the other hand... Metal Gear Solid 4! I have to talk a-lot about that game. I must say I am going to be happy to write a review about it soon, disclosing my thoughts and maybe Assassins creed too. I must type about that game because it had a single but brutal mistake being a great game.
Alright now I am writing too much. Thanks for reading!
Hi all, some of you may remember about the Top Secret video I talked about in my last blog post. New info has been cleared to be realeased:
-The video will be codenamed "Footsoldier"

-Filming has begun with two seperate filming crews
More updates on the Footsoldier video to be unfeld.
I just got the PS3/MGS4 bundle and I have to say, I'm flabbergasted!! Have a look.
I only clocked a couple of hours on MGS4 (I was checking all the options on the XMB (and there's alot!) but I'm sure I'll find all the time I need hehe.
I was wondering, if you have a PS3, what features do you prefer the most about the PS3 (Blu-Ray included) and what's your favorite games
At last.. I've recieved my Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition bundle. I've waited so long, it seemed like ages. But now the wait's finally over and here is the game:
This Limited edition consists of The Game, Soundtrack CD, Metal Gear Saga vol 2, An Artbook and an extra Blue-Ray with over 2 hours of commentaries and features.
I really can't wait to immerse myself in this game. I've been a big MGS fan for years and my expectations for this game are sky high. Let's see if the game delivers the promise. I'll be back to let you all know.
Meanwhile here's a little vid from GTA4. I actually shot this to show you how accurately the game depicts Times Square. Compare it to the real photo below the vid. Isn't it unbeleivable?
Well some late night O.T browsing led me to find out what level of Hell I will reside in...
Apparently Level six (out of 9)
crap.
Oh Well I guess thats what those darn agnostics get!
heeeeey Almost done with Super Paper Mario
