Summers "officially" here!
Hey guys.
I was gone for a week and finally kicked off my summer. I spent the week with my mates in a huge cabin with plenty to do! Damn it was a good time!!! Boating, swimming, fishing, fire, checkin some women...man it was great.
Tommorow I'll also be starting my new and MUCH BETTER job. Best of all it's easy!! Sure it's early in the morning but I'll be working in a shipping warehouse. Basically I'll be loading big boxes into trucks for major department stores. $12 an hour for hard labor, about 3 hours a day mon-friday. JUST what I wanted!!
As for games..Gamestop had thiere "buy 2 get 1 free" used games deal and I took advantage. I bought Orange Box, Bioshock, and the original Call Of Juarez. I had previously played BioShock and Orange box but they're such good games, and under $20!! I beat Bioshock already, I'll play it on hard though. Orange Box is somethign I'll probably play and beat overtime, I love HalfLife 2 and TeamFortress though. But Call Of Juarez I got because I'm interested in the sequel (which is out this week) so I figured- why not? So far I think the game is sorta underappreciated, the graphics and mechanics are solid, and hey, Western games are few and far between.
Thats all for now, thanks for reading
(Oh and HOLY F**KING S**T MICHAEL JACKSON DIED. I FOUND OUT TODAY!!!!!!! DAAAAAMN!!!!)

Ok so I figured out how to edit/ colordrawings using photoshop. But I really need a scanner for my computer if I want to keep it up. On top of that I really want to get a drawingtablet. I'm a quality searcher so I need some GOOD equipment.

Let me tell you a story
I once went to elementary school with a kid named Zach Reid. He was a fellow classmate at Coolidge Elementary, in Neenah, Wisconsin; a small city south of GreenBay.Hewas friendly,smart, and an all around goodkid. He had friends, good grades, and respect from teachers and classmates. There were;however, rumors (which started around the 5th grade) that his father was extremely abusive. One of my old friends had one day pointed out a large bump on the back of his head, the first day I, personally, noticed anything.
7Years Later...
On October 5th, 2008 Zach Strangled his father to death, threw him in the trunk of the car, and dropped him off in a school parking lot. The rumors were true: his father was an abusive, alcoholic, assh**le. Since he was 10 he had constantly been abused.His mother was oblivious, apparently. Zach wrote letters and hid them in his room, all about how he dreamed of killing his father in painful, brutal fashions. On Friday June 12th, 2009 Zach Reid was found guilty of intentional homicide.

PLEASE. Post your opinion. Be critical but respectful. Do you think it's self defense like he described, or just a grissly murder?
E3 thoughts...
It was a good year. Unlike other years I feel completely satisfied.I now have a TON to look forward to both this year and next- with ModernWarfare 2, GodOfWar3,Batman: Arkham Asylum,Metroid: Other M, Dante's Inferno, BattleField: BC 2,Crackdown 2, Halo: Reach, Assassins Creed 2,APB, Mass Effect 2, a new Castlevania, and biggest of all MetalGearSolid: RISING!!!...damn thats a lot
There were some dissapointments still, I was expecting two BIG sequels from Sony and Nintendo- TwistedMetal on PS3 and Zelda on Wii but they were a no show )=. EA's conference was kinda crappy too- Ubisoft was a complete flop, THANKFULLY Microsoft and Sonys were excellent- new stuff we wanted to see, info on the games we want, good from both sides (finally Sony didn't look like a bunch of tools this time, and had a GREAT show).
Well I'll now be VERY busy working now to afford all the great stuff coming nextfall/year (yeah, thats right. I actually plan my work around buying games sometimes).And hey, last week of school!!! (Would have been TODAY but we had 3 days off thanks to Wisconsin being so damn cold in the winter).
Adios Gringos!!!
Is Wii done?
I just realized- if Sony and Microsoft have motion based technologies, ones even better and can be put to better use than Wii, whats the point of even supporting it? The microsoft and Sony motion sensing technologies look far better, with games that look and play better (so far)and can be used with way more possibilities since they use full body, voice recognition, and other features.
What do you think?
