This journal is usually used for gaming, GameFAQs, or GameSpot related issues. Some of it includes my personal life, but I have a separate blog for that kind of stuff.

  I have left most GS unions

  I've finally done what I should have done months ago--leave the unions I belong to. I don't post on GS anymore, and the union system failed long, long ago. I still belong to the unions that I am an officer at which are the ones I still care about. It may just be a matter of time before I leave those as well. Where can you find me? I've still been posting at GameFAQs for over five years, and I won't be leaving there. I post around Message Board Help, Current Events, and the COD4 board. I post at other boards too, but you might find those to be a challenge to find.

  My thoughts on Jeff's departure.

  GameSpot has officially sold out to the most important people--the people that visit the site. They no longer have our trust, and I doubt they will get it back unless there's a clean sweep in management, and it'll last as long as this cover-up resumes. I am angered that the best reviewer on this site and the one I most trusted has been let go because of some BS management decision. The PR statement is full of BS that absolutely no one believes, so they will go downhill. This "scandal" won't go away as long as CNET comes clean, but other review sites must stay weary about having a similar situation happen to them. The PR people tried damage control and failed--you suck. I officially pity the GameSpot reviewers for probably *****ing their pants walking into work because the same could happen to them.

  I would like to thank Jeff for the years of work that he put in to make this site great. I wish him nothing but the best in the future, and I will look forward to him popping up on another site in the near future.

  Summer 2007: Gaming Update Part 2

  Hello again, this is part 2 and the final part of the Summer 2007 gaming update. I've kept myself busy with work and games, and now that school is almost a week away, I will conclude this summer's series leaving off from the last post.

  Completed Games

  - I completed the Elevated Risk difficulty of GRAW 2 which was pretty fun. Too short though but fun while it lasted.

  Games in Progress

  - I am 50 hours into FFXII doing a bunch of hunts and that stuff. I'm at the Phon Coast for the first time and having that Zodiac Spear makes the game easier, manageable, and more fun. I've completed a bunch of hunts as well, my characters are 38-40, so that's going along great.

  - I am at the seventh tier of hard in GHII with The Trooper and Rock This Town completed. It's hard--I got 90% on Madhouse before I failed it.

  Games on Hold

  - Forza Motorsport 2 has been put on hold since I'm at that area where the races become extremely long and boring. I'm way too bored with that game right now to play it again anytime soon.

  - Burnout Revenge hasn't been touched for awhile, and it probably won't be.

  Upcoming Games

  - Halo 3 Collector's Edition is still reserved of course.

  - GTA IV for the PS3 is reserved even though I'm pissed about the delay.

  - GHIII is reserved for the 360. I'm looking forward to that game a lot.

  - COD4 will probably be a Christmas present. I'm hoping to get into the beta.

  - SOCOM: Confrontation seems like it'll be out this year. I'm not reserving it yet since the demand isn't there, but I will get it the first day it's out.

  - I might not ask for AC6 this holiday season since there are a lot of rumors that the 360 version is just a timed exclusive and will come to the PS3. I'm holding off right now.

  - I'll ask for Assassin's Creed for the PS3 since that game looks amazing and fun to play.

  Other Stuff

  I bought the HDTV finally. I got an Insignia 22" LCD HDTV for $395 and it is so great. I got an HDMI cable for the digital HDTV DVR box and PS3 while I'm using the 360's component cable to hook that up. The games look so much better in HD... I was missing a lot of detail on my old TV.

  Well, that's all for the summer. I might make a post if I get selected for the COD4 beta, but who knows. A lot of people have already started school, and I'm definitely looking forward to my senior year. I'm pumped to the max for the first football game on Thursday night. Real senior fun. Goodnight.
