Eagle Project has been approved

School's been going pretty well for me now, and I havne't had much time for anything else. However, I beat Kingdom Hearts andSpider-Man II in my free time. That's been mostly on the weekends, and now I've finally got my Eagle Project aproved and I'm working on my project, so I'll be very busy until I turn 18 on January 25th 2008. Ugh. Scary huh? So yeah, and I'll be playing Kingdom Hearts II soon, and hopefully pulling some reviews up too.

I got it!!

Yes, indeed. I bought a PS3 a short while ago. It's amazing, and fun. You can put just about anything on it. It looks great too. Some things that made me a bit mad was the fact it DIDN'T come withan HDTV cable, and I had to buy a memory card reader to put all of my memory cards on it...ugh. Well, it works, so I shouldn't complain, but it outta be cheaper than $15. I also just boght the Non greatest hits version of Kingdom Hearts II today! It was the last one for $20. Nice huh? I gotta beat the first one before I play it though. That's cheating if you haven't played the first one lol.

PS3 anyone?

I have now aquired enough money to buy a PS3 from Best Buy!! They have a rewards program that every $200 you spend there, you get a $5 gift card! That's not much, but it's a lot better than nothing at all! Like, I said, I might get one soon. Because of the PS3 issues I have to buy the 60 GB now, because I don't much like the idea of emulation on the 80GB PS3. You know what I mean? So, my PS2 and PS1 games will play better on the 60GB than on an 80GB, plus I don't have enough for an 80GB. Why Sony? Just make it right the first time!! Sheesh. How's everyone getting along? I hope everyone has been having a good Summer. Mine is just now comming to a close. I begin my Junior year in High School Wensday of next week...how fun huh?

What's been goin on

It seems that I only get on GS now to check up on some people, and to obviously check out on the cool new games, and whatnot. I'm really sorry to say this, but I'm not really into the whole union thing. I love forums, but I just can't keep up. Right now, I'm doing another sport,Track. As I type this, I'm already having muscle spasms. If you don't know what that is, or if you've never had one, your very lucky. I ran a mile in 6:40 and a quarter mile in 1:04. That's good right? No, not really compared to the beasts that I might be competiting against. To some, track would be their whole existence, much like wrestling to some of my buddies, but for me, it's just to keep in shape, and to not look like a wuss. It's fun though, so I really can't complain. I'm really busy with my studies, and track, so that's what occupying most of my time now, aside from RE4. I love that game. I hope that everyone is well!! Later

Goodbye Official Playstation Magazine.

Recently the OPM (Official Playstation Magazine) said that they would not be putting out any more issuse. I, ignorantly, was in disbelief, until I actually read it, and they are quitting. To most people, it probly doesn't even matter, but to me it is. It was what kinda got me into videogames...I got their first issue too...It had demo discs, reviews, just about everything, but it was becoming obsoete, say OPM, and all of them must move on. I am really not happy at this. GS does help a lot. In fact, I switched over from that mag to GS, but I still miss that mag and the demo discs. One of the reasons they had to call it quits was because of the PSP. It uses a different disc and to come up with 2 discs or even a PSP demo disc every month would cost way too much $$. I can't blame them. Who could? My first real system was an original Playstation, which I still have, and I'm just real sorry to hear that it won't be there...GS will help a lot though. What with it's movies, reviews, and even forums to help me out. You could even say GS is better, and it is, in a way...

Lots of stuff!!

Wow, it's been more than a month since I last blogged. Man, it really was a long time ago...So, what have I been up to? I've turned 17, lost weight, and gained it back in muscle, got a car, and CAN BUY M RATED VIDEO GAMES!! I've waited a long, long, time for that. Plus, I'm stuff makin A's and B's now. It's a lot more easy now with wrestling outta the way and not having 2-3 and a half our practices. I can even drink stuff and be more hydrated too! Did you know that Gotorade/Powerade DEHYDRATE YOU?? Can you believe that bullcrap? Believe it. The best way to hydrate yourself is to drink water. You can still drink the stuff, but, I heard from a doctor, that you should drink at least 16 oz of water afterwords! That's outrageous! It even says on the bottle, rehydratess you. That really dissappoints me. Wrestling season really was takin up a lot of my time. It's different now to have so much more of it back. I'm gonna do track too, but that should be a walk in the park compared to wrestling. DMC 3 is really cool. It really helped me out when I cought the flu. If I hadn't had a flu shot, I think that it would have been much worse for me. I even missed two days of school because of it!! What's more is, during wrestling season, I was running on my treadmill and fell and cut up my hands making it VERY difficult to wrestle. Oh, man. What a time I had. What a time, indeed. So now, I can do pratically what I want for awhile. It's great. I can even get more sleep!

Internet Problems

For some reason, my internet has been actin REALLY WEIRD and today, for some reason, it's working right now. I don't know how long that will last. They guy we called said that they were having problems with Internet Explorer 7 and that we should revert back to 6. I hate 6 so now I'm usin Firefox. Um now, the internet is working again...it's weird and I don't understand it, but it's working. Christmas was awesome for me. I got a lot of cool games. Devil May Cry 5th year Anniversary, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subistence, Chrono Cross (with some other good stuff with that), Resident Evil 4, and Chrono Trigger for the SNES. I was good this year, it looks like. I'm gonna go before my internet does something wrong again....

Stuff that's been goin on

I was too lazy to say what's been goin on latly, but now I have a couple of minutes to say stuff. A lot of stuff has happened. After my grandad died he left his car and his house to us. My parents thought that I outta have it. It is a '96 Jeep Cherokee Sport. In short, it's awesome. 20 miles to the gallon isn't too bad either. Wrestling is still takin up a lot of my time, but now I'm on Christmas vacation. We got back from Hawaii awhile ago, and it was a pretty good time. I'm very excited about Christmas, but I also want wrestling season to be over with too. Lol, it's over in a month. After January, it's over. Nice. Then, I have about 2-3 monthes just to do nothing but homework. Track will be fun then. I also saw Rocky Balboa. If you've seen any of the Rocky movies I think that you'll really like this movie. It's good. R.I.P grandad, and I'll take good care of your car.

Dragon Quest VIII is a great game!!!

I just got into Dragon Quest VIII today, and it's just plain awesome. It, to me, has sorta a Chrono Trigger feel to me. I've been doin alright this past week. I lost 5 pounds already. Plus, next week I'm goin to Hawaii! I'm really excited! It's gonna be a lot of fun. I just hope that the planes we take are gonna be alright. I'm not too worried, but the concern is still there. My mom is a nervous wreck over it. Well, that's about it! Later

I got a new game...

I just bought Dragon Quest 8! I haven't played it yet, or even opened it. I might have some time to play it this weekend. I got it for a real bargain, $20! That's so much better than $50!! I'm glad that I waited to get this game. I had to return The Godfather. It was a pretty solid game I might add.

I'm not gonnna be able to get on nearly as much as I have been, and that hasn't been much at all. Wrestling season starts tomorrow after school until about 5:30 or 5:45. Since school ends at 2:40, and practice begins right after school, 2:45-3:00, that's more than 2 and a half hours of practice. That's intense. I hope that this year goes better than last year. I hurt my wrist last year and only wrestled for a week or so. If people aren't mean to me, it outta be fun, and since I'm pretty good friends with some people in my weight class, 140-150, it should be fun. Even though wrestling will take up most of my time, school and grades are still gonna be my main focus. I should be able to keep up my grades and stuff while wrestling goes on. Grades really haven't ever been a problem for me.

I hear good things about Dragon Quest VIII. If I ever get some time after season starts, I won't be bored!

I rented The GodFather: The Game!

Yes, it's pretty good,and maybe I'll have a review for it. I've spent about 4 hours on it already, and I just rented it today. We have a 4-day weekend this weekend. That means, I don't go back to school until Tuesday! Cool. Wrestling season starts then too. I'm a little nervous, scared, and the like right now. All I can do is my best, I suppose. It'll just be school, wrestling, homework, workin out, and guitar for the next 3 monthes I guess. Hopefully, it'll be fun. I wish my best friend was able to wrestle this year, but he can't because of some reasons. Season ends in February. Sounds like a long time huh? Anyhow, The Godfather: The game is a pretty good game so far! It's like GTA, only Godfather style with some twists and stuff.

It'll be good to actually get some well-deserved sleep today. Also, I volunteered 6 hours of community service today! It was pretty fun. I had 2 of my friends with me. We're gonna do it again on Monday. This is gonna be a good weekend for me.

I just wrote my first serious review!!

Yes, and it's very long. I cover most everything in that game. I'm so proud of myself. If you have Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout, please read it, and tell me how I did on it. I really put a lot of effort into it. I don't think I could have personally done any better, so I guess that's all that counts.

Grandad,IE7,and other stuff...

As you know, my grandad passed away awhile ago. Things have been going better for me. I've accepted it, but I will miss him. My mom, on the other hand, isn't doing so well. The funeral went well though, a week ago. I'm glad that he won't be suffering anymore...

SO, let's move on to some better things, shall we? Today was the last band conmetition of the year, and our last football game will be next thursday. Wresting season starts at the end of this month, and, hopefully, I won't die. It'll be really tough, but I think I'll be able to do it ,and have a good time also. I'm getting better at guitar, but I still need some more practice to it.

I never thought that I would say this, but I'm using IE7. I don't really know why though. I guess that it's easier on the eyes than Firfox. Plus, it's a lot faster than the older version. IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM 5 YEARS TO MAKE THIS ONE!! In essence that makes Firefox better, but this ones' text looks better...it's kinda hard for me to explain. If you have a computer now, then you outta get the new IE. It's like Firefox in a lot of ways, and STOLE some things from it also. I'm kinda dissappointed...I thought that Microsoft, AN ACTUAL COMPANY, would do better and not steal some ideas. O well.

Gamewise, not much has changed. I'm excited about seeing the PS3's interface, and it's just like the PSP's version, but more buff! You can take a look at that vid here on GS. It'll be awesome. I've also been getting much more into music, which is why I've been on MP3.com for the last 2 days. I need to know more about bands and stuff like that. I mostly like some Hard Rock,Classic Rock, and some Metal. Although, I like some rap, like brass monkey by the Beastie Boys. I really want an ipod with very good video quality, good storage, good battery life, and somthing cool looking. Unfourtunatly, they're not to my expectations...yet. I hope one day they will be. Well, I probly shouldn't get one yet, because I only have like maybe 35 CDs and some I don't even like anymore. My friends make fun of some of the stuff that I listen to know too. I really need to get some good stuff like the stuff that I want from MP3.com.

It's kinda hard to add things to your collection on MP3.com. It's very frustrating. If somthing has various artists as creaters, you can't add them to your collection. If you've tried it, you know what I mean, and you know that it still needs some work. At least they have some awsome bios! Anyhow, I've said too much. I'm out for now.

R.I.P grandad

Let me first say that I have been really busy latly. It's been study, study, homework, homework, etc. I've been really worried about my studies in school. My grades are pretty good right now. I have an A in math,A in Spanish I,B in Honors Biology (HARD CLASS), and probably an A in Band and Chorus. I didn't plan on wrestling this year. Some of my friedns just said, "You better wrestle this year!!!" I started yesterday,Tuesday, and that was a difficult practice for me. Today's was better than yesterday's practice, but I still need some work. I gettin a whole lot better at guitar too. I'm learning how to play Guns 'n Roses Sweet Child of Mine, the first solo part. I've only been playin guitar for about 3 months now. It's pretty fun.
So today, I was studying, and I hear my mom come home. I was gonna say hello, so I finished up some problems I was working on. I walked down the stairs, and I hear my mom crying. My grandad has died. This wasn't something that I wanted to hear right now. Things were actually starting to look up for me too. Still, it happened today. I think that I'm taking it pretty well. He had alsymers, and for those that do not know what that is, it's when you can't remember anything, and you forget everything. I mean everything. It's horrible. He used to call us a whole lot everyday. It got annoying. I think that we will have his funeral this Sunday. He just wasn't the same after my grandmother died...he forgot everything and somtimes asked where she was sometimes. I think that I'll be alright. I just need to help my mom get through this. My dad knows what it's like because he has lost both of his parents aslo. We will have to sell his house and get rid of all of the things he owned. Of course, we will keep some things. We will have to sell some though. This just isn't a really cool thing to happen right now. Rest in Peace Grandad. I hope that you have passed on.
Also, his funeral is going to be this Sunday.

I believe that I need a header and a banner now. Only one problem...

I don't know HOW to make them. So, instead, I would like to make a shout out to anyone that does! In return for your hard work, I'll recommend all of your reviews, or anything else that you would like for me to do. It just get's boring just seeing SamuriChamploo up in that black space. I would like somthing to do with anime if that's cool. Perhaps somthing to do with Outlaw Star, SamuriChamploo, or somthing Adult Swim or Toonami related? I'm not sure, but I DO need one and I am pretty desperate for one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The new Ipods are sweet!!!

I just looked at the new Ipods today and they are awesome!! It seems that the Ipod Nano can now hold up to 8Gigs and the new Video Ipods can hold 30Gig and a whopping 80 Gigs!! I'm excited!! Plus, it looks like the video is a lot better. I really hope that it's better. If it's as good as it should be then I'll get one of the 80 gigs. I know that it'll be a lot, but after that, I won't need a new music player ever! I'll just hook it up to my stereo and be happy. I honestly and truly hope they fixed the video issues. If they did, I for one will be very happy. If you get a 30 or 80 gig video, PLEASE tell me if the video issues have been corrected and how good the video quality is! If you tell me, I'll recommend all of your reviews. I'm not kidding. That's how serious I really am. The nanos are actually cool now. I used to not like them at all. Now, they are begging to have more color and stuff. Personally, I don't care about the color, but still, it's cool. I'd go to www.ipod.com and check out the new ones. I'm freakin happy.

I'm sorry...

In my last blog post I sounded like a real jerk. Some of my friends have be doin a lot of bad things. Things that shouldn't be mentioned...That caused me to not myself. I was really just happy to have found something so cool...I didn't really mean it the way I said it before.
On the lighter side, I'm going to get a demo of Battlefield 2 to see if it's any good, I'm learning Smoke on the Water on guitar, and playing Halo on Legendary is pretty fun, if not mostly hard at some points. I hope that I can keep my grades up in school. Biology, at least, is getting somewhat easier for me.
And last, I'm gonna try to write some reviews and revise my review on Pictochat. When I write my reviews, I wanna express my opinion to it's full extent, but that's hard seeing as I have trouble expressing myself sometimes...Also, I hope that some of my reviews help other people in choosing good games, as well as seeing with ones are bad. I'm just sorry that I sounded like a jerk back there.
