Just Another Quick Word In Light of the Holidays

I'm sure everyone has already seen and heard this plenty, but what else can I say? I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and wish Happy Holidays to all as well. Though this has turned out to be the first Christmas lacking spirit for me, I do feel that this is something that I shouldn't try to get me down. Even with a distinct lack of enthusiasm, build-up and mesmerizing house displays (which is probably what I look forward to the most during the holidays), I'm glad I was at least able to see a couple great holiday films and am thankful to receive whatever I will in a few hours

Getting older just sucks (and I only just turned 20 on the 7th), but not feeling any true holiday cheer until late tonight thanks to watching A Christmas Story and Home Alone (and hopefully It's a Wonderful Life later) is at least something that I'm glad I was able to get. Though seriously, I'm disappointed with the lack of Christmas spirit (not sure if it's just around my town); barely any Christmas movies seemed to be on the past week or so. And is it just me, or did this month just fly by?

Anywho, just like to wish everyone happy holidays once again and hope for the same in the following years.

At Last, AMVs are back!

Whoohoo! Merry Christmas everyone! I got my new computer up and running, and amvs will be back starting with what I promised: A Final Fantasy XIII AMV. I am downloading the videos as I type, and I already know what song I plan on using, though that is subject to change. I may not have done a video for a while, but my mind never stopped creating mental videos, composing ideas. If anything, this break from AMV making is refreshing; Your going to see the improvement. You will like it. I will probably be using windows movie maker, though I do have Sony Vegas. I want to start off on a foot I am familair with before I dive into a whole new stage for my performances.

This is my Christmas present to you all. It will be here tomorrow. Hopefully people will come back around.

Merry Christmas for 2009!

I know there are probably a lot of blogs at the moment, but I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everybody that looks at my blog since I won't be able to get on here tomorrow (technically later today).

So, Merry Christmas everybody!

Have a good one!

Caddy.

Christmas is pretty awesome + My top 10...

Christmas rules. I had never expected to get the gifts I got, and most importantly, the gifts I gave made my family very happy. Thank you Canada for being able to sell me a copy ofLe premier jour du reste de ta vie (A great movie, see it!), made my mum real happy!

Well, not to bore you with details of what presents I got. I will just say this. iPhone.

Anyways, as the days come closer to decide the Game of the Year, I've decided that I...

Have not nearly played enough games released this year to decide which is the best of this year. That's why I will choose my TOP 10 BEST TV SERIES!

Number 10!

THE SIMPSONS!

Yeah, it's not high up on my list, no no. I feel that over the years, the Simpsons have gone up and down. It's impossible to make a perfect show when it's been on the air -that- long. Some episodes are just diamonds though. Some episodes however, makes you bored out of your mind. Don't take me wrong. This is one hell of an awesome show, however, it does not appeal to me as much.

Nevertheless, whenever I see the Simpsons coming on the air, I get happy, because it's always nice and relaxing to see an episode of the Simpsons.

Anyways, it's the 25th now in Sweden, so all of you that celebrate Christmas on the 25th, have a great Christmas!

Harmonix's Alex Navarro: How to Get Your Dysfunctional Family Rocking This Chris

Some things are bound to happen at every family Christmas gathering: Grandma will complain that you don't call her enough; one of your uncles will have too much to drink and tell embarrassing stories about you to the person your dating; somebody's going to break outRock Band. That's when thingsreallyget interesting.

Old people and Rock Band are an odd mix. They're always curious about what the heck is happening, but because they're old, one of two things always seems to happen: They refuse to play because technology scares the hell out of them, or they decide to give the game a shot and you spend the next hour yelling at people to stop hitting buttons so you can navigate the menus.

I wanted to find out if there was any way to make the inevitable old people/Rock Band scenario less of a debacle, so I turned to the foremost expert on the subject: Alex Navarro.Alex is a publicist for Harmonix, and one of the primary duties of his job involves going to media events, bars, and even concerts to show off Rock Band to the -- gasp --general public. The man is a wizard; he could go to the Vatican and get them rocking in a matter of minutes.

Hit up Bitmob.com for Alex's expert advice on how to get your non-gaming, musically-challenged family members rocking:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep that's my 10 fav games in 09 and Batman AA wins my Game of The Year award, it was an amazing game.. Maybe you're wandering why the big four (ACII, MWII, U2, DA:O) wasnt in my list, well.. I haven't played those games due to my limited money and i don't have a ps3.. yet

Ok that's it for my 10 games of 09. Oh wait! The blog isn't over yet, there're still another 'award' from me. It's about my 'Most Anticipated Game of 2010' and 'Movie of The Year'!

As you all know, lot of 2009 great title being cancelled and they decided to release the game in 2010. Games like Splinter Cell: Conviction, Mass effect 2, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake will make 2010 even better than 2009 for gaming. So what exactly is my most anticipated game of 2010? It's none other than…

Final Fantasy XIII

FF XIII… while Japanese gamer has got their hands on this amazing game, we still have to wait for another 4 months to play this game… f***

And for my Movie of The Year award… I've watched some movies in 2009 altho it's not that many and i can count them with my fingers. As far as i remember, i watched a title like X-men Origins: Wolverine, Harry Potter and the HB, The Hangover, Public Enemies, Paranormal Activity, Transformers 2, Fast and Furious, etc.. some of them are good, some are $uck, some are just meh.. but there's one movie that really have something… original (i dont know how to describe this movie) And that is..

District 9

District 9.. this movie is just… awesome. I don't want to spoil anything here about the movie, so for those who haven't watched this movie… wacth it now! on dvd.. or blueray..

Yep the blog is finally over. Thanks for reading this long and boring blog give a comment if you want and c'ya! Oh.. btw, dont forget to see my number 1 favourite game character by the end of this week

LiK's Dec Pick-Ups Part 1 (Black Friday Edition)

Got alot of stuff this month but I'll post the Black Friday stuff first along with some other stuff I got on sale on Cyber Monday. Btw, I've been addicted to Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer! Soooo good and frustrating sometimes, hehe...

I didn't find too many great deals I wanted this year, sorta disappointed but I guess that's the way it goes.

Got:
Lots of great Blu-ray sales from Amazon. Some arrived pretty late since Amazon was probably selling a ton of them. Did I go overboard? :3



Games!


A portable HDD.

Impulse buy cuz this was dirt cheap...lol.

Uncharted 2 MP > MW2

That's right, I would take Uncharted multiplayer over the almighty MW2 any day.

I did like SpecOps quite a bit, is probably my favorite thing in the MW2 package, its a shame that you can only play it with the people on your friend list.

Anyways which MP game have you guys been playing lately? =)

Three years...

Hey GameSpotters.

Today would be the 9th of December, 2009. A day which has no significance in terms of publicity. And none of you will probably realise why I'm celebrating such a day with no fame. On the 9th of December, 2006, I was a mere 14 year-old boy. I had been checking GameSpot out for a while beforehand, for the sake of gaming news and such, but never made an account. I was getting into reviewing at the time, and I found that you could submit your own opinion on GameSpot. I made an account, thinking "What's the harm in doing so?". I found out that you had to be at least Level 3 in order to review games (I don't know if it's like that now). So, I played around until the third level came my way. And I suppose that's how I got into GameSpot.

Three years later, I am now 17. I have apparently matured a lot over these three years at GameSpot, and I have met some really awesome people over my time at GameSpot. I have also learnt that I am not the only mainstream RPG gamer in the world. But little did I know back when I was 14, was that I would have such a great time contributing to GameSpot. Little did I know that my reviews would evolve into big essays, which I would enjoy writing. Little did I know that I would spend over three years contributing to the site, and get to Level 35!

It's hard to believe that I joined GameSpot three years ago. I'm still here, i'm getting older, life is changing. Here's to more years to come on GameSpot! Bring on the new decade!

Whats Danny Doing #2

Oh Hai,

I've been a busy boy of late. Whats that? I should compartmentalize these events into a list? Sure!

Raised over £600 for children in Need.
The great Citizen Game community banded together to play games throughout the night of Children in Need, raising over £600 for somthing they probably would have been doing anyway. Horah!

Wrote a Modern Warfare 2 Review
9.0, still loving the multiplayer.

Started a Forum on CitizenGame
Eventually I got around to it. Already saves some cash from the deals in our "Bargain Hunter" section, so it was worth the dev time already.

Recorded a few Podcasts
We have the formula down to a tea now. 45 minutes every week. The first every week too, available from 9:30 Monday Morning.

Bought a new TV!
My projecter exploded the day after the gameathon. Perfect excuse to buy a 42 inch 1080p HDTV.

Other Games I've been playing:
DJ Hero - fun, but got it for free.
AssCreed2 - fun, but stupid story
Left4Dead2 - Far better than the first. Refined.
CrossFingers, Beneath a Steel Sky, Minigore, Doodlejump (all on iPhone)

Everything else is cool. Work is going great, going home for 2 weeks at Christmas and recording some fantastic CitizenGame content in the run up to Christmas. I might post somthing here in the lead up to Jesus day, but for now, thats what Dannys doing.
