Well, I played MLG Halo 3, COD4, and all that good stuff. And then I got sick of it. The people incorrectly reporting scores, cheating, standbying, the whole deal. So I went into singles Socom on Ps2. I just won my first match, supression best out of 3. Won the first, lost the second, and clutched the third. I'm currently 1-0! Woo!

If you play on gamebattles and wanna give it ago, search tag [uS] or team name Unreal Skill. Click Pic for all current stats.

P.S. These blogs will start becoming a "series" of blogs, telling of my Winter 08 season.

Well, it turns out I got an A on all my finals, leaving me with 4 A's and a single B+ (so close to 4.0!)

That is probably the best report card I've had in a while. And, shortly I will be downloading my free copy of Undertow before I strip down my xbox, lucky I got Microsoft to take my xbox and repair it! It took three people (Vash, Tim, and Ashkar), but I got it. So that was pretty lucky. Looks like a good day, I gotta go to drivers ed soon though. Fun stuff? Not really.

Let's hope this lasts. Hell, maybe they'll be outta refurbs and I'll get a new 360? maybe I'm getting ahead of myself? Who knows.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention, I got an accidental emblem! Woo!

Well check out this video here if you haven't already:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/163925.html

Now, I will be watching the whole video and stopping when I hear something I feel must be commented on. So I'm just "freestyling" this, so to speak.

0:25 "Well um, ya. It's a new role playing that leaves nothing to the mind" Um, I am not sure if you, the reader have witnessed the "sex scene", but I am completely confident in saying she did not. It is not what she is going to make it out to be. It is slight nudity, not a hardcore porn flick.

0:36 "It gives the player the ability to engage in graphic sex and the person playing the game decides what the two will do" This blonde bimbo makes it seem like its a sex simulator. Wrong. There is nothing else to say, that is flat out wrong.

1:18 They bring on some psychologist, Ms. Cooper Lawrence, who is about to feed more propaganda about how the games sell on sex appeal, however Fox has a young blonde woman reporting, and Ms. Cooper is selling a book with a less than professional pose of herself on the front. They also bring on a guy, Jeff Kieghly who is a video game expert from Spike TV. As the conversation plays out, Jeff will repeatedly be interrupted and cutoff, but is still able to make undeniable points.

1:49 She is about to say something that nearly makes me piss myself. "Lets talk about who the game is for. Its for adults but if you look at the statistics who is playing it but adolescent males." Ouch. Not true. "They are the ones playing it not their dads" This is true, most dads don't play games. But to say that only adolescent males is stupid. And in my personal opinion, which you may believe to be wrong, a 17 year old is not an adult, and they can buy m rated games. And to say that literally no one but adolescent males are playing it just pisses me off.

1:58-2:29 Ms. Lawrence is still droning on and on and on about how this is what makes your kid who they are. Jeff hasn't gotten a word in edgewise yet. She says that "it is a man deciding what woman he is going to be with" and "It only shows women as objects of desire, these "hot bodies" with no values."

2:29 Jeff finally gets a chance to open his mouth and quite frankly, owns Ms. Lawrence. He shoots back. "Actually,you can play as a man or a woman. So the last minute or so of Cooper talking is basically debunked.

Then he asks if Cooper has ever played Mass Effect she giggles like it is a ridiculous question and says, "No." He proceeds to knock down every argument she put up. I like this guy. He says you an see an arse and the side of an alien boob. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!.................. not.

3:40 Jeff says you don't actually always see the sex scene, and its a choose your own adventure game. Ms. KnowItAll McDoesn'tDoResearch says "right, the 10 year old boy is going to choose to skip it." Now the glaring question is, does it ask you "To bang or not to bang?" Jeff immediately kills that one too. It's not just an option to turn on or off.

4:00 She cuts him off again and says "I gotta go with the research that says boys who play video games cannot tell the difference between what the are seeing in game and in the real world. garbage.

4:38 The two have gone and now its basically a table of Fox's top neanderthals grunting. She says you have to look on the back to see what the game got which is have true. You can see on the front, but the back has details.

4:45 Some guy talks about how he can't beat his daughters Barbie game. Then you sir, are just a failure. He says its like Luke Skywalker meets Debbi Does Dallas???!?!?! OK now WTF! Honestly! Can that legally be considered journalism?

5:49 "I don't understand why it didn't get an AO rating, which is the highest rating?!" Because, it's an ARSE!!!!! please be realistic.

6:10 The only logical thing to be heard from this group of "journalists" is "Let's face it there are all kinds of bad coming from the internet and games and I don't think the government should censor everything."

I believe, it is your child. You raise them with morals you believe to be correct and censor what you feel should be censored. I also believe that this game has be slandered. Fox delivers biased, unresearched and unfair news. Thus concludes the mega-rant.

First, this is another sob story about an xbox 360 so if you don't wanna read it leave now.

Secondly, I would like to thank everyone who post in this thread here:http://www.gamespot.com/forums/show_msgs.php?board_id=909102864&topic_id=26164501

I had brought it to three different best buys all yielding different reasons as to why they could not accept my 360 and give me a new one. But each one did give me a pretty pink sticker on my xbox box.

So it looked as if i was stuck with a refurbished turd polished to look like a 360. If only I was so lucky. So i get home and call my friend Vash over at 1 800 4 my xbox to see where my prepaid box was since it was long overdue. Turns out, i don't get a box! Why you may ask? Well Vash said he was gonna call me to inform me that the xbox only scratches discs when moved will playing, so surely the infallible system did not eat 3 consecutive COD4 discs. And also he was going to apologize to inform that i wasn't covered.

So to review for 400 dollars i earned:

-A cute white box to stand by my tv

-A friend named Vash

-And three pink stickers.

I spent over 400 dollars on game and 100 on accesories.

So for an extra 500 dollars i got:

-A controler that will do nothing

-and 8 game cases! WOO!

Microsoft FTW.

I wasted my whole summer saving for that stupid xbox. I worked all summer long. I cant help but feel this is my faul, cause, it is.
