Jack Thompson Promoted - From Lawyer to President of the ESRB??? *cries*
I found this on the internet not too long ago...This isn't looking good.
President Bush made a controversial appointment earlier today that will probably fly under the radar for most political junkies. Jack Thompson, the noted video game anti-violence advocate from Florida, could replace current ESRB head Patricia Vance as early as October if congressional hearings approving the president's nomination go smoothly. Gamers who follow politics are taking issue with Bush's characterization of Jack Thompson, a man who is known as public enemy number one in most video gaming circles. Thompson first rose to notoriety in the gaming community in 2003 when he attempted to sue Take-Two Interactive, publishers of the Grand Theft Auto series, for the alleged role their game played in a homicide committed by two teenage brothers who claimed they were inspired by the game. Since then Thompson has embarked on a one-man crusade to singlehandedly remove all violence, pornography, questionable content, and anything else that would make a video game fun, all in the name of protecting the children who play these Mature and Adult Only titles. Titles that would only be available to adults if parents would do their job. Thompson has continued his crusade despite the fact that most of the children he's crusading for think he's an ass.

Titles that would only be available to adults if parents would do their job. Thompson has continued his crusade despite the fact that most of the children he's crusading for think he's an ass. Source wrote:
"I stand by Jacky," Bush told reporters at a press conference where the appointment was announced. "He's been doin' a heck of a job, and I think that all the good work he's done for video games and the kids who play those durn things makes him a true patriotic American. If the lesson of September the 11th has taught us anything, it's to never let our guard down, and Jack has never let his guard down dealing with video games. We need to let the man continue doing what he's already been doing because of his sense of duty and honor, only in an official role."
Conservatives are expected to provide heavy opposition to the appointment when it reaches congress. Republicans up for re-election in 2008 have already been attempting to distance themselves from the sinking ship that is the Bush administration, and pundits agree that any Republican who supports President Bush appointing a crazy lawyer who hates video games as the head of the video game rating board will be seriously risking their seat in congress come election time.
Democrats are objecting on the grounds that the appointment was the president's idea, and the only coherent policy they've been able to come up with in the past year is to oppose anything the president does. Gamers have already called for democrats to attempt to impeach Thompson if his appointment does go through, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has already gone on record stating that impeachment will not be on the table no matter how badly Thompson screws things up in his leadership role.
There is also a question as to whether or not the president actually has the authority to appoint someone to head the ESRB. The organization was approved by congress in 1994, but since then has operated independent of government interference. The president's attempt to appoint Thompson is especially odd considering it would be the first time a president attempted to interfere with the ESRB.
Joe Lieberman, one of the senators who led hearings in the early 90s that led to the creation of the ESRB, has flatly stated that the president doesn't have the authority to make this appointment. The Bush administration, however, claims executive privilege and plans to go ahead with the appointment. Current ESRB president Patricia Vance has threatened to take legal action if she is replaced.
Gaming action groups are forming all over the Internet to combat this appointment. Interested gamers are encouraged to send a mail to their local congressman stating emphatically that a vote for Thompson means a vote lost at the polls next November

Best Day Ever - I got my Drivers License and I Got Into The COD 4 Beta Early!!!!
Yes!!! Okay. First of all...I just got my drivers license...I was thinking that I was just prolonging this for way too long that I've just have to get it...Well and the fact that I had only a month left until my permit expires and there is no damn way that I'm going take the permit test again! So, my father called up the driving instructor (who so happens to be Russian as well...)....We got along just right......He was so cool...I messed on the parallel parking (which I hate so very much) and when I did, he said "I didn't see that, try again"...I was so happy that he did that...So, I got my license and I'm now one more step during freedom......Know I just have to get a job (which is soon since I applied to Walgreens and my brother is the assistant manager there...He's doing it part time)...I'm going to be working about thirty-five hours a week....
Now the Call of Duty 4 beta.... I know that we all want to here this...Okay this is who it went down...When I came home from getting my license, I was checking my e-mail and it read this "Welcome to the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Multiplayer BETA!" from Infinity Wards email...
...I was thinking to myself that there was no way in heck...So, I click in it and it said:

I almost had a heart-attack...: So, I quickly put in the code and downloaded (surprisingly for a 1 GB file) the beta...So, I was playing it and man is it good...I will try to get some impressions out when the thing goes PUBLIC on MONDAY!

What? You're not from the U.S.A. and you still want in?
Don't worry about a thing. They said that they are going spread out of the US and into difference countries (mostly likely Canada and the UK)...So, everybody can join in the fun before the full version comes out...The beta is amazing...In the other half of the e-mail they said not to put any impressions (or Screen Shots) up until the thing goes public, so I'll have my impressions of the beta up then...All I have to say is that THE PERK SYSTEM SHOULD BE IN ALL GAMES NOW!!! Seriously it's awesome....
Now since that is out of the way, those two things aren't the only ones that made my day fantastic...I almost asked out this one girl, Morgan, out today. She was from my Algebra and Psychology ****last year and I saw her day. I almost asked her out, but didn't work up the courage to......Do you guys have any advice for me?
Also, I want to start spicing up my 'blog' posts...Do you guys have any good suggestions?
Well, have fun and good luck if your going for the COD 4 beta key...Just study all things COD 4 and you should be fine...Have a good day. Leave a comment, thanx...

Madness?....THIS!!! IS!!! E!!! 3!!!
That time of the year is coming and this is going to be a bumpy ride. Each company has to show it their all this time around. Last E3 was all about hardware. Both Sony and Nintendo focused their attentions on their respective consoles and showed off what could be. Also, Microsoft mainly focused on the Xbox 360 hardware and what Xbox Live is going to offer the gamers. That was in the past...Now it's E3 2007 and now all the companies can't hind behind their hardware anymore...This E3 will mark the year of the software...No more hiding, it's time to show us what you've got!
In this blog, I will be running down the show times for each company that is to present this week. Including the big three (Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo) to the big third party developers. These are going to be my prediction of what's going to happen in the show. Let's begin.

Microsoft Press Conference: 8:30pm - 9:45pm
Microsoft has come along way in the video game industry. With the Xbox, being the under-dog, they managed to improve on many things on the Xbox 360. This year though, is going to be challenging as now Sony and Nintendo unleashed their consoles...MS has to now do something spectacular to keep their lead. At this year's E3 MS is mainly going to focus new software for the xbox 360 and VISTA. For Xbox 360, MS is going to focus on Halo 3. I predict that they are going to show the single player demonstration to hook the audience...After the demo is over, Peter Moore is going to come out and say how MS is successful of reaching their goal of selling more than they expected to with a year and a half, totally ignoring all the technical issues with the hardware. He may mention some solutions on how they are going to fix that problem, but I doubt it. Then after they will just show more trailers and demos for other first party games like Mass Effect and Too Human.
Then when he's done with the Xbox 360, Bill Gates will come out and talk about VISTA and how he's going to "revolutionize" the way you play games on the PC. Few games will show up, that might be interesting. But the only thing that's going to stand out is the PC version of Gears of War...Other than that, nothing much to talk about.

Nintendo Press Conference: 9:00am - 10:00am
Nintendo this year really doesn't have to do much in the case of software for the Wii.They some software that they might show, but I don't think that they are going to put that much effort is because the Wii sells no matter what...And that's the point of E3 is to have items there to sell. The one thing that I'm interested to see and predict that Nintendo will do is introduce the different color Wii's, which were introduced at E3 '05. These colors include white, silver, red, green, and black. Also, some release dates for games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy
Nintendo, though, will most likely focus on the DS lite and all the games coming out for that handheld.
Picture of the colored Wii's I predict to be announced at E3.
Sony Press Conference: 11:30am - 12:30pm
Well, well, well...I guess it's time for Sony to show us what they've got planned for E3. The night before their press conference, Sony will show a two hour demo for KillZone 2 as an "invite only" presentation during Microsoft's press conference. This game will have mixed reviews, at first.Sony is hyping the game to look in "par" with the E3 '05 CGI demonstration.I predict that Sony is going to fall short of their promise...But looks aren't everything...The meat of most poeple's previews will come from the gameplay they show...If they show solid gameplay rather than focus on the graphics of the game, then KillZone 2 may have a shot of being a "Halo Killer". I predict during their press conference is them showing off the new rumble controller from the start. Also, with some some live demonstration of KillZone 2 (maybe 10 minutes worth) to give poeple, who didn't go to the demonstration the night before, a little taste of what they missed. Other than that, they are going to take most of the time showing what games to expect to come with year, along with some hands-on demos to try to impress poeple...Also, they are going to reveal that a PSP "lite" is in the works and will be released at the end of the year. They really need to show 110% of effort (mostly on the PS3) to make it through the year.
Activision: 3:15pm - 4:15pm
Off the back, most of the presentation is going to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This game just looks amazing. But this one is different than most of Call of Duty titles. Usually, a Call of Duty game is set in World War II, but this game breaks tradition and trys to get more of a modern day senario (hence the name Modern Warfare...). Based on the second trailer (a few lines, that are said, are in Russian so if you want me to translate for you, since I know Russian...Please let me know) is set it Ukraine, which is really not the feel I was going for in the first trailer. Other games, though, are might steal the spotlight. One of the major examples is Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Who doesn't like a Guitar Hero game? With the third installment of the series, it would bring back the great multi-player aspects of the game, but this time we maybe able to use the instruments found in Rock Band.

UbiSoft- 10:30am - 11:30am
Well, this gaming company, I expect to win a few nomination for Game of E3. One of the title's I believe that is going to on the list is upcoming stealth game, Assassin's Creed. There is no doubt that Assassin's Creed isn't going to raise a few eye-brows during the E3 coverage. The game was shown last year, but it's going to available for the press to get their hands on for the first time this year. I predict that this game is going to win best E3 game and has a chance of being 2007's game of the year. Also, there are a lot of rumors going around that Haze is going to be a PS3 exclusive now. I predict that the game is not going to exclusive, but they will announce that the "timed exclusive" status of the PS3 version will be longer instead.
Well, I'm done giving my prediction for E3 this year. But whether or not these do come true...We can all agree that we're all going to be broke by the end of this year. This is one of the best years for gamers yet. Be sure to comment about some of your predictions and wishlist for this years E3 event. This yearis going to be interesting....

EARTHKING - Madness?....*In a spartan-like vioice* THIS! IS! E!!! 3!!! *Boots the random person off a endless pit*
I'm Back! Please Read (I need help).
Scray thought, huh? Well, yes I'm back...I, to tell you the truth, don't even know where I have been all this time......Dang, it's been 2 months since my last "blog"...I guess this calls for an update. Don't you think? ...I started summer about6 weeks ago...And I only have a month left of summer....
FRIENDS
Well, just like every summer, my friends go and abandoned me...I should really get friends for the summer...We did see a few movies before they left (like SpiderMan 3 and such)...They left for the whole summer and I'm all alone....
SCHOOL
Oh well...I've been taking courses (the weird thing is when I used the word "classes", the system sensors out the word...) at Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC) and it's been fun...For school...At PVCC I've tooken SpanishI and World Relgions (man, do I hate that class....;what? his classes is based on tests)...Well, I started again on yesterday with Spanish II (YAY for one class...)...I don't know...I want to take Psychology 101 (since I'm going to be majoring in Psychology), but things happened when I registered and I can't take it during the summer...That may be good news since I can take a whole semester of it instead of 5 weeks (at only 4 days a week)...That would be one of many classes that I'm going to take during next semester (along with English 102, Guitar, and Humanity 250)...I'm dead next year......On that note, I recieved my report card (from high school)and I got 1 C ,1 B, and 4 A's...My GPA took quite a beating this year (went from a 4.0 to a 3.7)
MOVIES & GAMING
Since the begining of the summer, I've seen plenty of moives. One of the movies, though, I had to force my friends to watch because I knew that it was going to be a sleeper hit and I told them they needed to see it. The movie was called "Knocked Up" and it was so hilarious...I first saw the commerical on AOTS (Attack of the Show on G4) and ever since I've hyped the movie and it turned out awesome! Saw Spider Man 3 (a few times) and it was awesome...Too bad the movie to mixed reactions. Finally, Shrek 3 (yes I did watch it) and I was really dissapointed in it...I was a fan of the first 2 (mainly because of Donkey...), but the thrid one was way too short and didn't amuse me as much...But it's a cash cow (in the last week in English we did a unit on advertising and my teacher used Shrek as a prime example of why it's a cash cow...You couldn't go2 steps without seeing an ad for Shrek...
), so I can't wait for Shrek 4 and 5.... And I'm going to cut it here...I could go on forever with movies...As for gaming, nothing much...Just reached my first 1,000 gamerpoints on XBL and I finished Gears of War on all difficulties...But I just don't see the point of achievement points...Why are (some) poeple obessed with them? Other than that I rented Rainbow Six Vegas (PS3 version), Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, and Ninja Gaiden Black (I borrowed this one from a friend)...I'm going to pick up Ninja Gaiden Sigma and a few PSP games as soon as I get a job......Other than that nothing.
SUMMER
Okay, enough stalling...This is the true reason I am making this post...Well, every summer, I make sure I get a few things done that I couldn't really get done during the year...Last summer I had a job (and I went to New York), so I couldn't get a lot of things done...Some things are hanging out with friends (usually playing football in the park), reading, writing, gaming, watching a variety of moives, and listening to music...Since I can't go to NY this year and my friends are gone....I need some advice on what books I should get and new CDs (yes they still make those...Don't listen to those nasty rumors on the interenet...) I should get...I am a enthusiastic about all types of music (all except country; this is coming for a city-boy ). So if you would like to give advice...That would be awesome. Also, my PC is showing signs that it's dying (well the same signs that it showed me before my 10- year old Dell died) and even my brothers laptop (which is no powerful than my PC) can run a gamespot video (let alone a youtube video)...I think it's time for me to get a new PC......That means I need to get a job......I've already customized my PC (I'm getting Dell since it's more reliable; I have a 7- year old Sony Vaio)...If you know anything about PCs could you give me some advice onmy customization...Here are the stats:

Thank you for reading my blog (and any advice you may give me)and have a good day...Also, tell me how you've been...t's been a while since I've done one of these and I want to do a little catching up...Tell me some of you summer plans this year.... Well any help would be appriciated...

Haven't Been Active on GS/Unions + I May Be Creating A Union Soon. Read for Info
I really don't know what it is...But I haven't been active on GS lately...Neither in the unions I'm an officer too or being an active GS user......I've just been posting other friends blogs (for the most part)...Lately I've been having alot of things on my mind...I don't know...I used to be an extremely active member...Especially in the Off Topic Forum...I may be going back there after a year and a half (maybe more) of MIA......Well, I would like to apologize to the union leaders......But I've been really stressed in school as well (since it's going near the end of the school)...Anyway, I will end school in less than 3 weeks for my 2 months summer break, so while taking more college courses, I will become more active on GS...
Speaking about the summer, that is when I plan to start planning my own union......The only thing is I don't have any idea on which I should run my union on.......So, I'm planning a contest on who has the best idea for my (future) union....The winner will be named the co-founder of the union and will get a special reward....
Also, sorry about the dely for those reviews...(
)...I finished the Gears of War review now I just got to do that last review...They are getting on my nerves....
Please comment back...I'll see you later GSpotters....
Another Small Update + What's up?
Just a small update with the reviews...I finished my Resident Evil 4 review (saved on Word) and now all I have to do is write the other 2 reviews and I will upload them to GS...These darn projects of mine are getting in the way......I should have them up by Friday night......Also, I did complete 2 more freebie sites complete......I am waiting for my accounts to be reviewed and I will order my prizes......I did a freebie site for a Black DS Lite and one for a PSP Entertainment Pack...I should have pictures up soon for both.... Also, I might be getting a new sig soon...I don't know...
So, what's up with you guys?
My Latest Review???
...I'm going to start tomorrow...I just finished Resident Evil 4...I will have a review of the game up by tomorrow night (I will make a blog post of it)......I will add the Gears of War review as well (that's the reason I didn't play RE4 in a long time...Gears is addicting...) and I might add one more reivew as well...Well...I have 3 reviews to write...In the mean time, I haven't put up a blog post up in a long time so...What's up and how was everybody's 4/20?....
Images? + Small Update.
Hey everybody. Just a small update this time...So, a week ago I've noticed this new GS feature for images...Is it me or is GS becoming more like MySpace everyday?...Well anyway, I've uploaded a few pictures onto the images section of my profile.
http://www.gamespot.com/users/earthking/images
I've just added some pictures of my rewards through my freebie sites and 2 pics that I didn't have time to upload in my testimony blogs for both my free X360 and free PS3...I will add a few more tonight...Maybe a few photoshop things. Make sure to comment....
Well, I still didn't reveiw RE4 yet......I spent my whole spring break cleaning and preparing for Passover...I'm on Chapter 4 so I should be done soon...Sorry for the long delay.... Well this has been a small update....Have a good day GSpotters....
My Mod Draft Rant + MAJOR Updates Edition!!...*SIGH* again!
Well, well, well...Another mod draft, another disappointment...Like I didn't see this coming, but oh well...I personally would like to congratulate everybody that was picked as the new GameSpot moderators...I want to congradulate two in perticular. These two I've know before they have been GS mods so I want to congratulate them now. First, Gallego, what can I say? Gallego has been helping everybody on GS for a long time and I say he was suppose to be mod a long time ago. I remember him spending his time in the Welcome Newbies forum. Next is matcoke. I know him from the System Wars Union. I really don't know matcoke outside of the union, other than XBL, but he's a nice guy. I bet he really helped out the GS community before being mod. Congrats to all the new mods on your new GS status and good luck...I believe that you all will make the GS community a better place. Now since I guessed that Gallego was going to be GS mod during the mod draft (lucky guess...), now I will guess on which other people on my friend's list would be the mods on the next darft. They include _Sam_, easteast, and many more (I'll keep you guys guessing on how I think will be the next GS mod....)...I will post the others in a future blog......As for me, now I will go reapply and hope to get selected...What's this, the 4th year now?...If any of you mods would like to recommend me...Your more than welcome too...
...Oh well, you win some, you lose some, right? No harm, no foul.... Now for the update part of the blog.
I'm starting to hate MS....When I finally decide to stop waiting for a black 360, then they confirm that they are going to release one...I just opened my 360 2 weeks ago...
...I hope they do something about this! I don't know a recall for the old 360 for a new one (with a fee)...I don't care...To top it all up, they are going release the other main reason for getting the console, the 120 GIG harddrive, for $179.99!!! That is BS...So with accessories included and XBL and the Prem. 360, I would of payed way more than a PS3 (That is rediculous...I'm calling MS about this complaint!!! If you want to call me a "fanboy" for hating MS for making people more than a PS3 (and don't tell me that all the other stuff are just "options" because these "options" are the only way the people could get full entertainment, which is MS's goal), then call me a "fanboy"! *breath's air* It's all good......It is a type of business startagy, so I will try to fogive them.
Well you guys may have noticed, I was on XBL this whole week...I really enjoyed myself and discussed at the same time. Okay, now I'm addicted to Gears of War. Playing with people on my friends list has been enjoyable. Not only the fact that I already know the people from GS, it's great to finally communicate with them outside of GS...But the thing that really discusts me about XBL is when you go on with different people...Some of these poeple (I'm not going to give out gamertags....But if you want them just PM me...) are the biggest racists you will ever meet in your whole life...Seriously, some of the conversations were uncalled for and just made me want to quit the game and throw out my 360...Other than than, I downloaded a whole bunch of XBL arcade trail offers and demos...All the games are from my wishlist and from what I've played so far, I really want these game now...Escepically Alien Hominid (the best game of all time IMO). Ya, I'm going to done with RE 4 (PS2) either today or tomorrow, so look for my review (the first one in ages) this weekend. Oh well...I'm selling my PS3 right now on ebay (I need the $$$) and if it doesn't sell for the price I need, then I'm just going to open it and plug it in...For now I've been playing on my friend's PS3...A whole bunch of Virtua Fighter 5 and Resistance: Fall of Man...He rented out Motostorm, so I can't wait to play that again. Also, this weekend I'm sending in my order for a Wii...Can't wait to recieve it......Sux that only one game interestes me so far (The Legend of Zelda: Twillight Princess) and I'm going to be using the Wii (for now) and a GameCube player (I didn't own the GC and there some games that interested me; but not that much) and a"old school" player, in which I can sell my old NES, SNES, Genisis, and the other systems and finally have room in my closet again..... Also, this weekend I'm going to finish a few freebie site...One for the DS (and two games) and a PSP (and one game)...Can't wait to recieve those and further expanding my gaming collection. Also, for now make me stop doing these sites......I like free things....
Talking about expanding my game collection, I'm getting, hopefully, a few games this weekend...God of War II, Call of Duty 2 (XBOX 360), Ninja Gaiden Black (in prep. for Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3; I'm going to get it from ebay), Halo 1 (if I ebay it I'm going to look for a combo of Halo 1 and 2), and Resistance: Fall of Man (assuming I'm going to keep my PS3)...Also, next blog will feature something every interesting (and no it doesn't involve freebie sites......I'm not that predictable). Look foward to it this weekend...Sunday probably.
Thank you for reading my blog and congratulations again to all the new GS mods...Make us proud....
*sigh*!
Well...Yet again...It's time to say good bye......This is just a small update this time...I'm not going to be online until (hopefully) Monday...I'm getting a new computer table and it's arriving on Sunday, but I have to fulling deattach my computer now because my brothers are going to Vegas tomorrow and I'm going to need help taking apart my computer.
Also, got a new emblem today!
Regular Gumshoe
I participated in the scavanger hunt (beta) and this is the reward to the users that gave feedback for it.
EDIT: Removed all the refferal links.
Well, I will speak with you later GS!...Have a good day and what's up?
UPDATE + Question for 360 owners.
Hey everybody. It's been a long time since I posted a blog, so I might as well update......First off, I completed another freebie site...This time, the gift I choose was for xbox live (camera bundle) and a wireless adapter (thank you ZeroPriceTags…).I'm glad I got it now......As some of you noticed, I was on xbox live this weekend when I set up my 360...I have to admit that it's a cool console......I've downloaded a demos off the market place and I started to play Gears of War this afternoon...The game is really sweet! So, I'm done moving my furniture around and I'm glad that it's over with...Anyway, let me get back to the 360...The games I got running so far, I've been really impressed with...To bad I can't play it anymore...Well, at least not now...I still got to finish playing RE4 and get my review up......Oh well...I will try to get the review up by next week. I'm already half way done with the game…The game is sweet. I love how Capcom has done an excellent job changing the gameplay and I love the plot so far...Anyway, I’m not going to be here on Friday – Sunday because I’m getting a new computer desk (my old one split in 2, just as I predicted)…So, hopefully, Sunday I will be back online. If not, then Monday. Also, next weekend I might give you guys a hardware review (bascically my impressions) on the X360.
Now for my 360 question. What game should I get between these games -
F.E.A.R.
Crackdown
Call of Duty 2
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Kameo: Elements of Power
Hitman: Blood Money
or
Just $60 worth of MS pionts to get alot of XBL Arcade games
I will most likely go on e-bay for one of the games. I'm probably going to get God of War II and Okami as well.
Also, can you guys sign up to my freebie sites (that I still need to complete)? It does involve a credit card but if you PM me I will tell you a way to get credit without paying anything! Also, if you want help via AIM, then I can do that too....
Here they are -

Well thanx for reading......What's up with you guys?? It's been a while.
Bye GameSpot.
Yup...I'm leaving gamespot....Not for good though...I failed horribly at that...I'm just leaving for a 1-1 1/2 week(s) because my parents are remodeling the house (well the floors) and I'm going to have to pack away my computer/gaming consoles for a bit...I know this sux...I won't be here for a while...Anyway, I need the time for myself, so this probably will work out good. So, to all the union leaders, that I'm an officer to, please don't demote me because of my inactivity in the unions during this time period...Well that's all I'm going to say for now...Also, I got 2 new emblems - the Biological Warfare emblem and the Derek Jater's #1 Fan emblem. Thanx to everybody in the Emblem union for helping me out.
Biological Warfare emblem
Derek Jater's #1 emblem
Also, here is the iPod freebie site again...Please help me get one for my older brother...Just PM me to know a way to get the credit without spending money. This method does involve a credit card.
I'll see you in a week GameSpotters! Peace.
Update + Gaming Update!
I got Kingdom Hearts on Friday...But I didn't start until yesterday...I'm loving the game so far....
Well, I've been doing my freebie sites and they are going well......I still need help for some of these. I added my PS3 referral on my header...Man, it's weird...For people that claim that they don't want a PS3, they sure are very interested in doing my referrals......Oh well, I got some GS users to do it, and they PMed me saying that they are doing well one theirs...I didn't expect that the xbox fanboys would PM me because they were interested in doing my PS3 refferal......That's weird. Anyway, my friend, Anthony, got his PS3 (using the same freebie site) on Thurday...I spent the whole day (on Friday) helping set up his PS3 and his internet connection (on the PS3)...He called me today, after he come to from FRY's Electronics to get Resistance and Genji 2 (that game is lame by the way; I did play it). So, I've been wanting to get one. If you guys are interested in helping me out and gaining a few consoles on your own, then here are the referral links (click the pictures) -
I'm not going to lie, these sites (to complete an offer) do require a CC (credit card)...But I found out a way on getting the credit without spending money...Just PM me! (I used the debit card the both times I did mine; even riskier). These sites do work, here is my testimony for the first one I ever did. If you need further proof that these sites do work, then PM me. Also, if you are going to sign up, then please complete an offer...I don't want poeple to sign up if they aren't serious on doing these sites. The prizes are xbox 360 bundles (using the X360 referals), to the Wii bundles (using the Wii referal), to the PS3 bundles (using the PS3 referals), to $250-$400 paypal (depending on which referal you use)...So, if your interested, then say you are in your comments or PM me.
Now for my game reviews...They aren't coming......I became too lazy to do any of them...Starting when I get RE 4, then I'm going to do the reviews for each game (on my wishlist; when I get them)...Maybe I will do the Prince of Persia reviews later this year.
Also, I won a ebay auction for Gears of War (with 48 hours of XBL) for the X360. (click the link to go to the auction page.) I'm currently bidding on RE 4 (limited edtion) for the PS2..They are hard to win......I'm winning an auction for that game, and if my luck goes another day, I will be getting the limited edition for RE4....
Now for an update for my life...I am going to apply to GameCrazy tomorrow...I really didn't like Target that much. Friday was suppose to be my last day, but with more scheduling problems, I just quit...Not worth the $7 per hour...The problem was I was suppose to work on Friday, but since I was celebrating the Sabbath (Jewish holiday that occurs every Friday), they schedualed me to work...When I told them that there was a Jewish holiday, they didn't care...So I quit.... Other than that, I am level 35 on GS.... Also, when the next 360 tournament (hoping for a Gears of War Tournament) comes up and I have a 360, I will be join GS Total Access for the tournaments...Can't wait....
What's going on with you guys?
Happy New Years to Everybody!!: My 100TH and Special Blog Edition!
Well...2006 is finally over! This has been a crazy year were some of my 2006 New Years Resolutions have been achieved......My News Years Resolutions from 2006 were get a girlfriend, get a job, have good grades, become a GS mod, be a better user in the GS community, and the list keeps on going and going. While I have achieved some of these resolutions, I didn't meet them all...2006 was the year of crazy happenings in the gaming world as well. With the release of three new consoles (PS3, DS LITE, and Wii), I am planning to get these for 2007. The craziest thing that happened to me is getting $700 (all together) using those freebie sites...I am using it for my college education...If your interested in doing a freebie website of your own, it does involve using a credit card, but I found a way for you NOT to pay anything for these offers...I love cheating the system......I think it was Peter Moore that said "The Next Gen of gaming is not going to be cheap"....
As they say, "out with the old and in with the new"...That is what we did with 2006......I can already tell that 2007 is really going to be a good year......Well...Not really...I feel that it's going to be like 2005 all over again...Not a good year for me......Nevertheless, the games that are coming out might change all that....
Now for some site enhancements for GS...I will not give up with my two ideas for GS...So can you guys keep on supporting them. Can you support them and hopefully when most of the GS admins come back from their brakes and see these two threads, they can try to implement them into GS somehow....
Well before I finish my blog for 2006, I would like to give you the site I promised you that would give you cheap videogame deals...You might have heard about it before, but I would like to give it to you because I'm a good person like that......That's really going to kill me one day......So without further stalling.......Here is the site! My username is EarthKing, if you want to PM me or something like that...I found the site a couple of years ago and my wallet is really thanking me right now....
Lastly, I would like to thank all of you! Without all of you, 2006 would of been another miserable year......I also like to thank you guys for posting in my blog and writing me random PM's......Have a Happy and Safe New Year and I will hopefully see you guys in 2007 for what i think might be the best year of gaming yet!..... Now that I'm done talking about myself......I want to know what are your New Years Resolutions? Also, have some champagn!
Last Blog of 2006: My 99th Blog Edition.
Yes...It's close to being official...2006 is almost over. It's been one heck of a year.
Let me talk about my 2006 New Years Resolution. When 2006 started I had a few things I wanted to accomplish. While somethings couldn't be done with year, I did accomplished. Among these accomplishments are me completing a freebie site, reaching my goal of 10K posts, gettting a job, and other things.
There are still something things I still need to do for next year.
Now on to my reviews...It's taking me longer than I thought it would take me. I've decided not to do the reviews for the GBA because it's very difficult (how ironic)...I will get them up this week. Also, if I get RE 4 for my PS2 tomorrow, then I will try to include that into my pile of reivews...One of my oath for next year is review games right after I play them, instead of waiting a few months after I beat them....
Now for some site enhancements for GS...I will now give up with my two ideas for GS...So can you guys keep on supporting them. Thank you.
Thank you for reading my blog...I will make a very special 100th blog edition tommorow...If you read my blog tomorrow, I will tell you a website that will give you good deals on videogames. If you don't know the site yet or don't have it bookmarked, then it will be a good read for you......And might be thanking me for a while......Stay tuned. Have a good day.
I just reached 10,000 posts!!! Lets have a POST PARTY!!! Everybody is invited!!
WWWWWoooooooooooooooTTTTTTT!!
It's been over 3 years since I've joined this site and I have reached a very awesome achievement on GS! Now sit back and enjoy the PIZZA AND ICECREAM!
*Calls the Royal Chefs and Caterors*......
