Today, Diablo III was officially announced. I read about it today on Gamespot, and am really interested. I used to be a big fan of Diablo II, before uninstalling it, and now on my better computer with the internet, the CD key is way too hard to read. But now, my interest has come back, and I'd love to get a new computer eventually and be able to play both Starcraft II and Diablo III.

It has good first impressions from me. Random scripted events sounds like an awesome feature, making an already replayable game much more replayable. They also announced that there is going to be a Barbarian and Witch Doctor. I'm already pumped up about the Witch Doctor's spell, Wall of Zombies, which sounds like the best Diablo spell ever. I'm hoping they get even better characters in.

In other news, I'll be getting a DS tommorrow. I'm really excited to get it, and these are games that I'll want to get:
Pokemon Diamond (main reason I'm getting one)
Pokemon Platinum
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario Kart DS
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
Metriod Prime Hunters
Elite Beat Agents
Phantom Hourglass

I'll will also get Pokemon Diamond tommorrow. There still is that bit of me that still enjoys the Pokemon games, while I couldn't care less about the show. It is actually probably one of my favourite video game franchises of all time.

Last Thursday, my summer vacation started, but stuff and other stuff prevented me from posting this blog earlier. I have several goals over the summer. They aren't really goals, but I'm just posting them right here just for the sake of it. Green means easy, orange is medium, and red is hard.
Do some weight training
Finish Grand Theft Auto IV
Be able to do 60 pushups every day for a week
Not get ripped on for sucking so much in Starcraft for a couple of weeks
Get the update for XFire complete so I can use it again
Get 35 hours in Starcraft
Get 100% completion in Grand Theft Auto
50 wins in Starcraft
When I get back to school, successfully bench press 220 pounds 10-12 times in three sets

The only reason why the XFire update is up there is because I try to download it, but it always disconnects before finishing. Help would be appreciated.

Not including exams, I only have one week of school left. Time has felt so slow in the past week. I am getting lazier with school when it matters the most. My biggest project in history was due last Monday and I'm yet to start it. Damn I hate essays. I'm not doing it this weekend, as my dad has weekends off and I hate doing projects when he's around. Maybe I'll start tonight....

Other than that, school has been easy. I have gym, which is amazing, careers, which is nothing and science. We're doing Biology and thats easy and interesting. So really, only history is pissing me off.

Also, here are my current grades.
History- 75
Gym- 80
Careers-78
Science- 67

Gym was crazy this week. On Wednesday and Thursday, we played Capture the Flag in the forest. On day 1, my team went straight for like 5 minutes and taking a sudden turn and hiding our flag at the back of a tree. The other team never found ours.

Day two, me and four other kids got lost in the forest. We were lost in a damp forest, with mosquitoes everywhere. No fun. To make things even worse, someone stepped into a pile of ****, so we were stuck with the smell.

In gaming, I haven't done much. My GTA IV CD got scratched so I had to exchange it. I simply haven't played it much this week. Not in the mood.

It's been a while since I blogged. I've played GTA IV and other things, but this blog is mainly about GTA. If you haven't played GTA IV yet, then you really don't have to be afraid to read my blog as the most spoiled will be a couple names and a couple of features.

So far, it's been amazing. I'm at 24:05:56 and 23% done. I'm in no rush to finish this game, and have killed 594 people. It's an amazing game. Liberty City is a very interactive city, with car alarms, electricity after hitting streetlights and other things like that, people on cell phones, gang shootings etc.

Also, being able to date or meet up with others really helps burn off time. I mostly spend time with Roman and Little Jacob, and usually just play some pool, darts, go bowling or just eat out. Occasionally, I get drunk mostly with Roman and the occasional Strip Club. I hate Michelle with a passion, with her attitude or pickiness towards me. I've tried to kill her three times, but have only managed to scare her while I shoot her in the head with the shotgun, but it doesn't work. Really, I've only had one problem with Jacob when I answered the phone when he called and got killed in a motorcycle accident like two seconds later. I also accidentally injured Roman in a drunk driving accident.

I also love to watch TV. Today, I watched The Men's Room for a good 15 minutes, and watched that cartoon in space for about 10 minutes yesterday. When I'm in a car or riding around in a bike, I like to listen to WKTT, as it is a funny channel, and sometimes go to the internet cafe to check E-Mails, and sometimes do missions for Brucie, but I mostly deliver packages for Jacob more.

And I rarely do missions, only when I feel I need to get a lot of the game done. Its not that I don't like them, the ones where you can go under cover and kill people while in cover is fun. I just find it more fun to just do nothing and just rampage the city. When I'm not doing a submission or am meeting up with someone, I just randomly shoot at people, occasionally dropping by the hospital or Cluckin' Bell to do a shooting rampage. I'm also quite a basher, killing any guy wearing pink or has a high pitched voice. I also blow anyone's face with a shotgun if they hit me with their car and just get pissed off at me.

So far, Grand Theft Auto IV has been an amazing game, and am seeing it as one of my favourite games ever. I've never played a game so much since Resident Evil 4 in 2007 or Pokemon Yellow in 2000 when I first got them.

... before I get Grand Theft Auto IV. My parents have promised to buy it for me this week, most likely tommorrow. So most likely if I get it tommorrow, you'll probably get another blog from me saying that I've got it, and a massive decline in activity. I'll have occasional updates about stuff going on in the game and in my life, and if I beat it within the time period, a review within a month.

Sorry if the image doesn't fit.

Speaking of reviews, I have written a review for Madden NFL 08. If your interested, here it is.

Again, sorry if this doesn't fit. I'm too lazy to properly change it.

In other news, school is going great for me. I'm up to a 75 in history, I got 10 in the beep test in gym, careers is the easiest course ever (aside from gym) and physics in science is a joke. My school year ends in a freaking month, so I'm really excited. The NHL playoffs are going horribly for me, as the San Jose Sharks (my favourite team in the playoffs) were eliminated a while ago by the Stars.

I'm sure that you guys know what I'm talking about. 10! Amazing. I think that we can all agree that the 2008 Game of the Year has been declared.

Even just looking at this game shows how great it is! Not only that, the single player mode is apparently better than ever, and Liberty City has changed a lot from Grand Theft Auto III.

It really shows how much the series has changed, even from Grand Theft Auto III.

I don't have the game yet, but I will try to get it. I'm just not sure if they'll be many copies for me to get.
