I will pretty much no longer be using this site AT ALL, with perhaps the small exception of a review or blog post. One of my problems may be due to the people in my friends list. I don't feel as though I've ever had a proper friendship with any of them, at least none that actually use their accounts anymore. In the past I've added people as friends, then when I send PMs to them, asking them questions, they never even reply. Seriously, what is the point of even adding someone if they refuse to talk to you?
Also, my opinions on things have matured greatly ever since I've been gone, as have my tastes. When I feel like it, I will eventually get around to deleting a majority of my blog entries. A lot of them differ from my current opinions and interests, whilst some others are just plain pointless.
If for what ever reason you want to PM me about something, feel free. However, don't expect a quick reply. You may have to wait for up to three months, or more.
I've sold my Wii and have bought a 360. I was greeted by a charmingly cheesy welcome video which I could have watched for a whole hour. I should have gotten a 360 in the beginning as there is a lot of games on the system that I want and had wanted back then. I guess I was just hypnotised by the fact that I had had so much fun with Nintendo in the past. I think that the Wii is WORSE than the GameCube and only beats it in the looks department. There are some good games on the Wii like RE4:Wii Edition, No More Heroes and possibly Brawl but other than that all that's coming from Nintendo is the same rehashed game. The only thing new about Mario Galaxy is the fact that you now have to jump from planet to planet. Okay, so I enjoyed it at first, but then that enjoyment slowly worn off. The game just feels similar to the past 3D Mario games, and Galaxy isn't even is good as Mario 64. TP is better but even then a majority of it just feels recycled, and it doesn't match up to Ocarina of Time. I'm sorry but I couldn't take it anymore. And just to prove to you that I haven't gone Microsoft fanboy I think Master Chief might go the same way eventually. Everything needs to end sometime so hopefully Halo 3 really is the end of the series and when spin off game Halo Wars comes out they will end it there. Not that Halo 3 is a bad game or anything. It's just that any game francise goes stale if it goes on for too long. Thank you, and I hope that my opinions don't offend you.
Yeah, I'm back to both Gamespot and TV.com. Anyway, to kick off this blog I'd just like to point out that I'm not going to be doing this often. If you actually know who I am, care about what I say and enjoy reading about my life and opinions then I'm sorry but I might not even be doing this monthly. BTW, I am now officially against Naruto. I know, I used to like it but those days ended long ago. I do apologise but I just can't help it. I just think that the show is complete garbage and that soon you will stop hearing about it completely, so if you send me a friend invite thinking I like the show then you're wrong. However, if you are a Naruto fan who is aware of my hatred of the show but wants to be friends anyway then don't be afraid of sending an invite. Also please don't send me a union invite as I will reject it. The only union I'm actually active on is Ye Olde Gang as I find it entertaining to be able to hang out with the people who were on a few of my former favourite unions. Other than posting on this union I won't be doing anything else on GameSpot. Oh yeah, and if anyone is wondering I'm going to sell my Wii. Now don't get me wrong, I love the old Nintendo systems, though starting from the GameCube it feel's as though rather then coming out with something new all Nintendo want to do is recycle the same old game. Mario Galaxy is a perfect example of this. The only thing they've basically changed is where the game is set. I will likely be doing more things on TV.com. I plan on doing quite a few reviews and I may even post on forums once in a while. Okay, it's almost time to stop so one last thing. I'm no longer interested in Doctor Who as I found season three to be kinda disappointing. However I am keeping my TV.com banner as it was made by a friend, I think it looks good and because Christopher Eccleston is The Doctor on the banner, and I think that he is a great actor and that he was a better Doctor than David Tennant.
Wow, this is the first time I've done a blog in forever. I had a strange experience today. Today I met my half brother, Jamie Lee Warlow. I'm still all shook up over it. I just hope this won't be the last time I ever see him. I want to get to know him better. The last time he saw me was when he was about 12 and I was only 1. Now I'm a teenager and he's a young man aged 24 going on 25.BTW it's Halloween tomorrow. Hope everyone has fun!! ^^
An intro to a story. I might replace The Legend of Curtis with this:
I could not believe I was at Barry's house. Him discovering my secret identity was the least of my worries. When my girlfriend Mary Lame Shatson found out what had happened, Supper Pan vs. The Uneatable Bulk II would break out. This had all started a week ago on a seemingly innocent trip to a Science Lab. There was a nuclear explosion. Luckily I survived and became the Amazing Man-Spider......

Wow, what is the big deal? A mediocre pop punk band who were already overrated in the first place become a bunch of emos and gain millions of new fans due to doing this?? As you can see from the rating I gave this album I'm not one of them. The fact that some critics even hail this album as a modern masterpiece is just astounding. It's a bunch of whiney ballads and ironic punk songs, for Pete's sake!! If people think that this album is good then the world is quite clearly coming to an end. And yes, perhaps the album isn't quite as bad as I make it out to be but with all the people out there who worship Green Day for it the album instantly loses a star.

A bit of an improvement over "Americana" in my opinion. In no way am I saying it's that different. It's still a pop punk release that's aimed at the mainstream. However, unlike "Americana", which just sometimes sounded plain and even artificial in some areas, they have improved on their sound with "Conspiracy". Even "Want You Bad", which is perhaps the most mainstream song the band have ever done, sounds pretty swell. "Original Prankster" is also an improvement over "Pretty Fly" as there just seems to be more energy within the song. The first actual song, "Come Out Swinging", is an solid and energetic track. Other tracks like this off of this album include "Living in Chaos" and "Special Deliver". "Denial, Revisited" is perhaps the most moving song by The Offspring with the exception of "Gone Away". "One Fine Day" is also a treat. However the stand out track is without doubt "Million Miles Away". Anyway, a bit of a comeback. Hopefully the band made a good follow up with their "Splinter" album, which I haven't heard.

Who's Next is perhaps The Who's most well known album. It is certainly a classic with the rock 'n' roll gems "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" as well as the sorrowful yet angry "Behind Blue Eyes" and fan favourite "Going Mobile". My words of advice would be to find a relatively cheap copy, buy it, and then sit back and enjoy the music.

Album Review
Smash

This album basically surprised every in 1994. It was done on an independent label yet some of the singles became hits. It has perhaps become the best-selling independent album and has sold a few million copies. If you are a new to The Offspring then this is probably the best one to start with. "Self Esteem", a song which shows the band's influence from grunge music, is the easiest song to get into, but the rest will soon follow.

This is perhaps the first great album by The Offspring. "Dirty Magic" is fantastic!! To all those who dismiss the first two Offspring albums completely and consider Smash to be their debut I pity you. You're really missing out.
