  The Results

  Today I got the results of myoverall marks from my upgrading semester, and here they are.

  Math 30A - 80%
  English 30A - 80%
  Biology 30 - 80%

  For some odd reason I feel like these marks that I got don't look right, unless I gotthese marksdue to the rushed schedule of the second half of the semester, then yeah that would make sence. But still I feel like my English mark was a bit higher than 80. Mind you I don't know what I got on my English and Biology Final. I'll have to see my English and Bio. Instructors and ask about them. Anyway these are the marks I've got, and I'm happy overall. I should be able to qualify for college or university (well depending on with one) that I go to. So yep that all I have to say for now. Have a good one.

  It's over

  Well I'm finished with my upgrading. Now I just have wait for the results to come in. Now I just have to help with the renovations at my mom's place, seeing her move back with a smile, seeing that the other house gets sold, and move on with my future plans. One of them being is taking a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia. Ever since my conversation with one of my best friends a few months ago, I had this sudden affixation about Vancouver and I have been asking people what it's like over there, and they gave me some good and bad opinions about the city. Good being beautiful sceneries, an amazing park, and what so ever. Bad being that the crime rate is really bad, and I mean really bad. What else the price of living there is expensive and not a lot of job are available. Anyway I'm just planning to checkout the city, just to see if it appeals to me or not, but I bet it will. Hell I might even live there if it really appeals to me, but who knows. If that doesn't work, then I'll move to Calgary, Alberta with my second oldest sister. Well hopefully everything will go well, and no screw ups along the way. Well that's all for now, take care and have a good one.

  Thoughts about E3 2009

  Edit: I originally posted this blog about a couple weeks ago, then a day later I deleted it because it was too big. I'm posting it up again due to some request from other users.Sorry that I wrote this huge blog, but I just had to get it out of me. So here it is... again.

  So yes I'm glad that the old E3 is back, and while it's not the best E3 out of them all, E3 2009 went out with a bang. There are so many games that I'm looking forward to in the future. So I'm gonna tell you some of them, along with the press conferences from Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, and Konami. EA and Ubisoft, not really interested to what they have to say, since I'm not a fan of both of them. Square Enix was mainly about Final Fantasy XIV.

  Microsoft- usually Microsoft's P.C.s are not that interesting to me, but this year I'm impressed on what they presented. While they did present some good stuff such as Beatles Rock Star and two new Halo games, and add on features to Xbox Live like free music downloads from over 30, 000 music artistes (gold members only), and movies that you can watch online in full 1080p; there are a few things that interest me.

  Alan Wake- a new game that have been in development for quite sometime now. The game is a 3rd person action, adventure genre that focuses on the main character Alan Wake, who is searching for his missing wife and fighting off these in-human beings that appear out of nowhere. This game reminds a little bit of Resident Evil 4, but I know it's mostly similar to Siren and Alone in the Dark.

  Metal Gear Solid Rising- I was somewhat surprised about this announcement, but it was to be expected. Not much about the game is known, expect that it's gonna be for the Xbox 360, and later confirmed to be released for the PS3 and PC as well... oh and the main character is Raiden.

  Project Natal (currently a code name)- this is the main reason that Microsoft's P.C. caught my attention. It's a motion sensor camera that uses "YOU" as the controller. There's no accessories needed for Natal, just you. You can pretend to drive in a racing game, play soccer, fight bad guy and so on. You can even paint in the game by using your hands to splash color on the virtual canvas. Need some color just say the name. The camera also feature a recognition scanner that can scan item like a book for example, and puts that item into the game. Plus it also scans facial expression too. What else online video chat, customizing your avatar with clothes and stuff, and a game that is exclusively for Natal... Milo. Milo is an artificial, emotional, and intelligent character you can communicate with, and give things to him via recognition scanner. Overall I am looking forward to seeing how Natal will revolutionize the gaming industry.

  Nintendo- Nintendo's P.C. was a bit disappointing this year, since they were talking about the sells success of the Wii, DS, and DSi, but who could blame them, since they want to make enjoyable fun game for us gamers. Anyway at least they got a good line-up for this year and next year.

  Nintendo Wii

  New Super Mario Bros.- a remake of the classic NES game with next-gen graphics, more playable characters (just the Toads), simultaneous multiplayer and more.

  Super Mario Galaxy 2- takes place after the prequel with a lot more new levels, power-ups, and Yoshi.

  New Zelda game- not much is known about the new entry, except for this artwork.

  Nintendo DS

  Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga 3: Bowser's Inside Story- the third entry of the Superstar Saga series where you once again play as Mario, Luigi, and this time... Bowser.

  Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days- the game focuses on the main character Roxas and Organization XIII, where you can play as anyone of the members, and go to fight Heartless monsters in different Disney worlds.

  Golden Sun DS- to be honest I just started playing the first GS game recently, and I'm already enjoying the game. It's a good thing that GS DS isn't gonna be coming out for a while, so I got time to catch up.

  Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks- a new Zelda game is always refreshing as you get to control a Phantom from Phantom Hourglass, and a steam train with a mounted cannon.

  Sony- as expected Sony has done it again by presenting some awesome games, the PSP Go, and it's very own motion sensor product, which involves two remote sticks similar to the Nintendo Wii Remote, but the design is different since they have flashing color balls at the end of the controller acting as the sensors. Anyway I'm not fond of FF XIV of being an online RPG game. Not that I don't mind MMORPGs, it that I would get too addicted into these types of game causing me to focus less on other things. Anyway here are some of the games that I'm looking forward to.

  PS3

  Final Fantasy XIII- what can I say it's a FF game, and so far it looks good. Pretty amazing graphics, I don't mind having the Active Time Battle System back in FF XIII, pretty good storyline, and some pretty cool characters too. What more do I have to say about this game.

  PSP

  Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker- as stated by Hideo Kojima, this new entry is a true sequel in the MGS series, as the plot is set ten years after MGS3 explaining the birth and uprising of Outer Heaven. Big Boss is the main protagonist once more, and in the E3 2009 trailer shows multiple Big Bosses fighting a Metal Gear. Will this game feature wi-fi co-op mode? Who knows.

  Resident Evil Portable- the first RE game coming to the PSP. No additional details have been made, but definitely looking forward to what the game will feature in the future.

  Konami- well there wasn't anything new, since some of Konami's most anticipated game were announced in the Sony and Microsoft P.C.s, besides the other announcements of games like Saw, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Karaoke Revolution, Dance Dance Revolutions, and other games that didn't appeal to me, besides the MGS games... except for one game, and this game involves a mask.

  

  Yes this mask, and it's been acting as a countdown teaser for a couple of weeks before E3 2009. Well during Konami's P.C. the mask revealed itself to the audience as another anticipated game. What is this game you ask? Well here it is!

  
  

  

  Oops wrong picture my bad. Did it scare you? I'm sorry... hehehe. Okay enough fooling around here it is for real...

  
  
  

  

  Castlevania: Lords of Shadow- yep that's right Casltevania is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360! It is definitely the game I'll be looking forward to the most. Originally this game was called "Lords of Shadow" before the Castlevania title was announced. To be honest I find it odd that this Castlevania feels more like a movie, than an actual game after watch the E3 2009 trailer. Well I guess it's because Hideo Kojima announced that he's involved with the development, and that some movie star actors and actresses are lending their voice in the game such as Patrick Stewart. Overall I'm definitely looking forward to the new Castlevania game, and I hope it keeps some of that Castlevania atmosphere, despite the few changes it's going through.

  Well that's all I have to say about E3 2009. Once again I'm glad that the old E3 is back. Man I feel like I want to go to E3 in person after watch the live P.C.s, and reading the constant update articles on GS. So I'm gonna try going Los Angeles, California next year, but for the time being I going to make preparations like finding a job to earn and save some money, getting a passport, and so on. Well that's it for now, have a good one guys.
