How was everyone's weekend? Anybody get anything good from the Black Friday sales? I didn't go but my parents did and I know they got me Guitar Hero 3 with 2 guitars (and for only $85!) for Christmas. As for anything else they got I have no idea... I did go to some places on the Saturday after and there were some great sales then. I was in Michigan visiting relatives and we figured we'd stop at some places. We went to Gamestop and they were having a buy two used games get one free sale, so I picked up: Gungrave: Overdose (PS2) $5.99, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil (Xbox) $17.99, and Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade (PSP) $8.99. From a place called Gibraltar's (basically a huge flea market but with mostly new stuff) I picked up Galaga: Demons of Death (NES) for $5.00. Other than that it was pretty average. My aunt cooked some pretty awesome food and the desserts (peanut butter pie and a Oreo pudding type thing) were to die for. I got a lot of PSP and DS time in due to the fact that we were traveling everywhere and the trip to and from Michigan ended up being about 7 hrs total. My PSP got the most game time in as I played lots of Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Sega Genesis Collection, and (on the way back) Untold Legends. I also watched Dawn of the Dead and Family Guy: The Freakin Sweet Collection on it. I also beat Phoenix Wright: And Justice For All on the DS and started playing Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, and while it seems interesting i'm going to have to play it some more before I can perfect all the mechanics. So that's about it..., as always leave comments, positive or negative. Till next blog...

Hey Gamespot! Just want to fill you guys in on some stuff. Today I beat Half-Life 2 for the Xbox and it was fantastic, definitely one of the best games i've played. After I beat it I was really wanting to play Episode 1 so I mentally went over my options:

1. Get a new computer.

2. Get a 360.

3. Play it over feshmans house

In the end i've decided on most likely getting a new computer, as the one I own now is pretty old and I wanted to get a 360 after the Aug 2008 update. So I might be putting my Christmas money toward a new computer. In other news, I got a Dreamcast! I got a pretty good deal on it ($30 for the system, controllers, a vmu, and cords) and i've been enjoying it. But I have a question for fellow Dreamcast owners, when I play some games the system makes a screeching noise. Now I know the dreamcast is supposed to be loud, but is this screeching noise normal? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. If your wondering what games I got with it they were:

Tony Hawks Pro Skater, Blue Stinger, Carrier, and Jet Grind Radio

I also ordered Sonic Adventure 2 off ebay. Oh and by the way, anybody have any Dreamcast game recommendations?

On the non-gaming side of things my local library had a huge book sale, hardback were $1.00 and paperback were $0.50. I picked up:

The Book of Lists: The 90's Edition by David Wallechinsky and Amy Wallace (Hardcover), Age of Consent by Howard Mittelmark (Paperback), Monsters in Our Midst by various authors and edited by Robert Bloch (Hardcover), Ghoul by Brian Keene (Paperback), Dead City by Joe McKinney (paperback), Shadowfall by James Clemens (Paperback), The Straight Dope by Cecil Adams (Paperback), and The Devil's Bride: Exorcism: Past and Present by Martin Ebon (Hardcover).

Well, thats about it. Hope you guys had a good weekend. Please leave comments, negitive or postive. Till next blog...

This's blog's a little late but I just wanted to let you guys know that my 2600 got here on Monday and i'm having a great time with it. Playing a lot of my favorite classics (Centipede, Space Invaders, Missle Command, Warlords) from my house is just awesome and it's really fun messing around with the variations. Other than that everything's pretty much the same. I did pick up some games from a pawn shop on Thursday, they were:

Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando (PS2) $10.00

Gorf (2600) $3.00

Super Mario World (SNES) $5.00

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) $5.00

Super Metroid (SNES) $5.00

So yeah, some really good games. I owned LoZ: ALtP, SMW, and SM but sold them along with my original SNES when I was 9 or so so it's good to have them back ( I never beat SMW and SM when I had them either). I also picked up Stephen Colbert's new book I Am America (And So Can You!) and I have to say that it's hilarious. If you like The Colbert Report, you have to pick it up. Well that's about it. Till next blog...

Hey guys, I know it's been forever since my last blog but i've been really busy with school and other stuff and haven't have much free time. I mainly am making this blog to let everyone know about Monster Fest which is on AMC every year in October for 2 weeks. Basically it's 2 weeks of nonstop horror movies, which if you like horror movies, is awesome. It's got some great movies this year like The Exorcist, Hellraiser, Halloween, The Howling and lots more. So if your a horror movie buff, check it out. I have gotten TONS of games since my last blog and I really don't feel like listing them all, so if you're really interested in what games I have, check out my Collection which is updated.

I will say that I have gotten 3 new systems since my last blog, they are: Sega Genesis, PSP Slim, and an Atari 2600. I got the Genesis for $10 from a garage sale as kind of an impulse buy. I've always been interested in Sega systems and so far i've been really happy with it and it's games. I got the PSP Slim (Silver, in case you're wondering) from a used CD store (go figure) for $130.00 with Daxter, Family Guy Freakin Sweet Collection, 2 GB Memory stick, and the charger. I think I got a really good deal on it and i'm really enjoying it. At this point, I like it more than my DS. I really don't understand all the negitive press it gets, it's a fantastic system with tons of great games. As for the 2600, I really can't say anything about it because as of right now it's still coming in the mail but i'll let you guys know when it gets here. I'm really excited about it as I got 20 games for $5 from a flea market recently including Space Invaders, Missle Command, Yars Revenge and Warlords, so I can't wait to play those. That's about it, please leave comments on anything you have to say, negitive or positive. Back to watching more Monster Fest! Till next blog...

Sorry for the lateness of this blog, guys. This weekend was my grandparents 50th anniversary and relatives from New Mexico to Maryland came down to celebrate. So basically, I only came to my house to sleep. We spent all of Friday, Sat., Sun., and Monday with relatives. But that didn't stop me from playing games. I played my DS like crazy and as a result my games beaten last week were:

Contact (DS)

Yep, that's it. But I started Contact on Friday and finished on Sunday and it took me a good 15 hours to beat it. I also worked on some console games (mainly Zelda: TP, Dragon Warrior, and Illusion of Gaia) but that was during the weekdays of last week. As for games I bought:

Illusion of Gaia (SNES) $10.00

Super Ghouls N' Ghosts (SNES) $8.00

The Guardian Legend (NES) $3.00

All good purchases in my opinion. The only one i've really worked on so far is Illusion of Gaia and it's a great game. Also, I got a part time job, working three days a week, four hours a day, for $7.50 an hour. So we all know what this means.... more money for games! Although i'll probably have less time to play them now that I have school and a job. But three days a week isn't bad and I don't have to work weekends which is really nice. As you can see, the 360 fund is moving along nicely as i'm about half way there. Well that's about it GameSpot. As always, leave comments on anything you want, even if they're negitive. Till next blog....

Ah, this was a good week for gaming. I purchased some games, rented some games, and beat some games. The games I bought this week were:

Resident Evil 0 (GC) $15.00

Warioworld (GC) $15.00

Castlevania: The Quest (GB) $10.00

Chrono Cross (PS1) $5.00

R-Type DX (GB) $5.00

Other than Castlevania: The Quest, i'm really happy about what I bought this week. I got a really good deal on Chrono Cross and R- Type DX and Resident Evil 0 and Warioworld are great games as well. As for what I beat this week:

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii)

Warioware: Smooth Moves (Wii- Rented)

Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii- Rented)

Yep, spent alot of time playing my Wii this week as you can see. Not that I neglected my other games though, i'm about halfway through Dragon Warrior, I just got to the mansion in Resi Evil 0 and am close to beating Yoshi's Island DS. In other gaming news, I have officially decided to start saving up for an Xbox 360 Premium system, as you can see by the fund i've added to my blog header. Now, i'm buying it through PayPal which means all my money will come from me selling stuff on ebay. Not only does this let me buy games with my allowance/work money but I believe I can raise $374.00 faster through ebay. So if you have some extra money lying around and feel like buying some games, please check out the stuff i'm selling through the link in my blog header. That's about it, till next blog.....
