No more Jeff!?

Hey everybody! I know I haven't been on for a while, and this news was a terrible "welcome back!" gift. I've been usimg GS since 2004, and have come to know the Gamespot family. Of course, it was a sad parting to watch Rich go, but atleast we had notice! Why in the world would Jeff be getting "canned"? He's really been the back-bone at Gamespot, and to see him leave like this really sucks. It's like watching M*A*S*H when Colonel Henry Blake dies, it's heart-breaking. Gamespot certainly won't be the same, not for me atleast. So here's to Jeff........"Good knowin ya".

Ogre Battle64.......WTF!?

I recently finnished playing this game today, For those of you that don't know, it's a turn-based RPG for the N64. It had been really great, until the ending. Appearently. the way you play the game affects the ending, and there are several different ones. This game ended with my men kicking me out of the army, and since I wasn't there to lead, the enemy takes over, burns down the cities, and kills all the people. I spent 45 hours for absolutely nothing. 45 hours! Be really careful if you play this game.

Very Impressive Lineup

E3 was great this year a number of great games and some really interesting Hard-Ware. First off, Super Mario Galaxy looks great, and probably plays great. So that's definately on my wish list. Bio Shock was very impressive, as was MGS4 and Call of Duty 4. Of course Halo 3 looked great, but I think everybody's beginning to get a little sick of watching, and want some more playtime. Now aside from games, there were the big hardware announcements. The wii zapper looks nice, and should probably play well with most FPS's. Also there was the Wii Wheel. This seemed kind of bland, but when you add Mario Kart for the wii in the mix, it definately gets more interesting. The Wii Fit board was probably the most intuitive. This really gives developers the chance to make more interesting games like Snow-Boarding or Surfing. Even boxing, with the board detecting your motions as you dodge punches from left to right. And of course there was the PSP update. There didn't seem to be much of a difference, but according to the editors, it was considerably lighter, and you now have the option to play on your TV. I'm definately looking to evrything I mentioned and alot I didn't mention. And I hope E3 comes back next year with the same format.

4th of July Celebration with the wii

Every 4th of July I have usually do the same thing. I go watch the parade, eat a pizza, and I later go to my family's annual 4th of July Celebration. Now the people on my dad's side of the family are kind of old fashioned, and beileve in playing outside and playing sports opposed to playing Video Games. So you can see why I would be surprised to see Everyone gathered around the TV instead of playing Basket Ball or Horse shoes. As I walked closer, I saw that everyone was admiring mu cousin's brand new Wii. Everyone was amazed at what it was capable of. So I ran back to my house and grabbed an extra wiimote and nunchuck and showed everyone what how to play multiplayer in Wii Sports. Now I've seen the picturess and read the stories of the wii bringing people together, young and old, but I never had seen it myself. When my older relatives are fighting over the wii, I knew that this system was truly a Revolution.

The weirdest thing....

I was just now looking at the news for ManHunt 2, being banned in the UK and getting an AO rating here in the US. So I went to look at the game, maby see some pics., watch the new trailer, when I saw the craziest thing. On the main page for ManHunt 2 there are several different sections such as news about the game, it's rating, and of course similar games. In the similar games section, one of the games listed was Carnival for the wii. Carnival is a "kiddie" game coming out that gives you the experience of a real life carnival. I just though it was really crazy to see.

Super Paper Mario

You know, I've really been looking forward to this game for some time, but I wasn't sure how Gamespot would rate it. Judging by the ridiculous ammount of attention the game's been getting, it should get atleast a 9, if not better. So come Monday, I'm definately getting this game. The amazing part is that they're releasing it at the beginning of my Spring Break! I definately can't wait.

It's finally arrived!

For christmas, I was supposed to get 2,000 wii points, along with a 1 year subscription to Nintendo Power that came with a Zelda Players guide and soundtrack to the game. Sadly. I only got the Wii points, my sunscription arrived later, but no Player's guide or soundtrack in sight. Well it's finally arrived, and there's some pretty sweet music I'm listening to.

It's only 7 more days until the wii, and I'm going crazy. I can't stop thinking about it. I can't wait to get TP with my wii! I'm also level 15, which is pretty cool.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I, as many, already wanted this game. I've recently watched the trailer for the upcoming game, and I now find myself wanting it even more. I was also quite pleased to hear that the story-line coincides with Ocerina of time, one of my favorite games. This is now a must buy for me. I can't wait!!

Wii of the future

The wii will be coming out in a little over a month from now, and I'm going crazy waiting for the thing. I really like the direction Nintendo is going in, by making the Wii a noemal household product that everyone plays. Though I was a little skeptical at first. My brother,( A big Sony Fan), doesn't seem to think that the wii will do that well. My other brother,(Who is going for a degree in Economics), thinks the wii will do well in the market. I was regaining hope, but still kind of uneasy. Then My Sony Fan of a brother's roomate said he'd be getting a Wii. He's as old as my brother, probably 24. He said "Ninendo was the company I grew up with, I can't wait to get my hands on this thing!" Wow.....I'm really looking forward to the wii, and to the future success of my favorite company. Go Nintendo!

Union Banner

I had to post my unions banner in my profile. The site won't let me make any banner for the Merio Wario and Link Union. So there's what it looks like.
