I'm going to take a break from this site for a few weeks. I just would like some time to do other things besides playing video games, getting a little burned out from it. I plan to draw much more and learn how to play the guitar during this time off. Still free to message me on here, but I might not reply quickly. Unions that I'm officer, please don't demote me. I'll still post here and there during this time off, though I'd appreciate it if someone took over my union duties for the time being.
Well, that is all. Thanks for reading this and understanding that we all need a break from things. Feel free to leave a comment below and I'll see you all later.

He's shocked as well.I cannot believe it's been four years since I created an account on this gaming site. I've certainly enjoying meeting fellow gamers and expressed my thoughts and feelings on a variety of subjects. I'm rather glad that I joined this community exactly four years ago and hopefully I'm able to find time to stay in touch with all of you in the future. Thanks for reading this very short blog post.

Many of you know that enjoy drawing, but you didn't know that I also enjoy taking photographs. I took a few classes about the medium in high school and have been shooting pictures ever since. Where I live, it's been raining for a few days now, with hardly any sunlight throughout the day. There was finally a nice day in Michigan yesterday (though it's rainy as of now again..), so I took some photos of my video game related figurines in my back yard. I took tons pictures of figures, such as Pokemon and related Super Mario figures. I'll be posting the photographs of Mario related figures another day, so look forward to that. I used an average camera, some of the images are a little blurry. Hope you enjoy these.
Dragonite
Gengar
Nidoking
Pikachu
Machop
Heracross
As you can see, I edited them a little to show character in each Pokemon (Gengar in particular). I did this before with much bigger action figures, but it didn't come out as well because of size. When taking those photos, it certainly reminded me of Pokemon Snap for the Nintendo 64. Oh how I enjoyed that title so much as a kid. Thank you for checking out this blog and feel free to post a comment below.

I finished the main quest on Saturday night and took some time to review it. Let's get right to it, shall we?
Luigi is finally back to his ghost catching schemes. The second fiddle of a twin brother hasn't visited a mansion in over a decade when the original Luigi's Mansion was released on the Nintendo GameCube in November of 2001. I certainly enjoyed the spooky thrill back then, but was it worth the long wait for the sequel?
King Boo has shattered the Dark Moon that hung above Evershade Valley, home to several haunted mansions. Professor Elvin Gadd has been studying the peaceful paranormal specimens until the destruction of the moon caused the ghosts of the valley to lose control and become evil. Gadd knew only one fellow who could find all of the Dark Moon pieces that were scattered across the valley and restore it. His name is Luigi.
Luigi is forced to use the Poltergust 5000 again, though he had to fetch it from a spooky mansion this time. The vacuum is now equipped with several new attachments. Attachments include the strobe bulb, which is needed to stun the new types of ghosts and the light-dark device, which reveals invisible objects throughout each mansion. Attachments can be upgraded by collecting treasure along the way.
The Professor gives you a DS Phat, nicknaming it Dual Scream, to map out each mansion and to call you. Gadd calls you a little too often at first, making you want to let a polterpup gobble it up and run far, far way. Thankfully, his calls become predictable and less frequent.
Many small details in this games gives Luigi character and realism, such as his trot like run and humming to the background music. Using the gyro sensor and turning first person view when looking into small cracks also makes it feel very realistic.
Must I do this again...There are five mansions to explore this time around. Each mansion is divided into several missions. This makes exploring a little easier and more focused on one task at a time, rather than being sometimes lost and overwhelmed in the original.
Each mansion you explore is very detailed and full of secrets to discover. All five mansions stand alone from each other, giving you some variety. Every puzzle you encounter is well thought out and uses the environment cleverly. Most of them are only used once, keeping the experience fresh every time.
There are many types of ghosts that live in Evershade Valley. "Greenie" ghosts are the most basic, though they eventually grab sun glasses or a shovel to protect them from getting captured. All of the ghosts have a different way of defending themselves, needing to plan a strategy to catch them.
These ghosts are more hilarious than spooky.Graphics of this sequel are very crisp, especially in the cut scenes for a handheld game. The 3D effect does bring some depth in both gameplay and cut scenes, but not as much as I would like.
The controls of Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon are quite straightforward. Moving Luigi with the control pad feels smooth and effortless. The vacuum is used with the L and R buttons, L for blowing out air as R is for sucking. The A buttons is to use the strobeblub to stun a ghost, then catching it by holding R and pulling back with the control pad. X and B buttons allow you to point the strobe light upwards and downwards. The B button is also used to run, which is necessary when you're being chased by ghouls.
The music and sounds effects of each phantom really bring the spooky tone to life. Some of the background music sounds similar to the original, giving the experience a little nostalgia.
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon includes a multiplayer mode called ScareScraper, which lets four players locally or from around the world, battle your way up many haunted floors. With three different modes, Hunter, Rush, and Polterpup, makes you want to hunt some more ghouls all the more. Even though ScareScraper mode is co-op, it feels rather competitive at times. When trying to capture a ghost, then another player steal it from you, or on when dashing for a red coin and someone takes it before you. This mode, and the Boos and gems scattered around each mansion, give Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon high replay value.
Pros and Cons of Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
+ Thrilling gameplay
+ Tons of charm
+ Very high replay value
- Average 3D effectLuigi's Mansion Dark Moon was certainly worth the wait, with the oodles of charm and engaging gameplay. The best 3DS title to date in my opinion, without a doubt.
I gave this title a solid 9.
Well, that all for now. I adored every minute playing this title, though I plan to still spend more time with it in multiplayer mode. Please feel free to give my review a thumbs up (or down
) here and leave comment below. Thanks for reading everyone. -

Hello fellow gaming friends and welcome to another blog post of mine. During my free time recently, I've been drawing quite a bit. I haven't drawn any video game characters in such a long time, so I decided to do so. Here they are.
Squirtle is one of my favorite Pokemon ever, so I had to drawn this pocket monster. Only used a blue colored pencil on this sketch, not wanting to take too much time on it.
Look familiar to you? I used the Super Smash Brother Brawl box art as a reference. Spent about five hours on this drawing coloring it in full.
Toon Link. I first sketched it out and then colored it with oil pastels. Those are very messy to use, but I like how it turned out. Spent about four hours it.Well that is all for now. I picked up my copy of Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and I'm three hours in so far. This title is has tons of charm and very detailed for a handheld game. Looking forward to digging deeper into each mansion. Thanks for reading and feel free to leave a comment below.

Old 13" television compared to the new 19" television.You are probably thinking to yourself that a new tv was long overdue and you're right, but I often say don't fix it (or replace it in this case) if it ain't broken. So my old television was starting to pop right when I turned off, knowing it's going to stop working one of these days. Best Buy had a 19" LED tv on sale for only $99 dollars, and I had to take advantage of the deal. I picked it up last weekend and really enjoying it ever since.
PS3 games and Blu-Ray movies looks much better on it (with the HDMI cables I bought too), especially Uncharted 2 Among Thieves. I was kinda bummed out at first, not having a VCR player in my room anymore (I have all the Star Wars movies on tape
), but good thing we still have one in the living room. Hopefully this HD television keeps kicking for years to come.Well, that is all for today. Round 2 of the March Madness tournament is starting tomorrow and I already filled out my bracket for it. Hopefully I do better this year and the last. Thanks for reading this blog post and feel free to leave a comment below.

With the announcement of a new Mario Kart title coming to the Wii U console in the future (no surprise), I would like to discuss the cheap items that this popular racing series posses in past titles. So here we go.
The Mario Kart series is known to have a few items that felt rather cheap to the opponent, trying to get pass them on the track. Items such as the spiny shell (blue shell) and bullet bill are the most unfair items that appeared in most of the racing titles.
The blue spiky shell appeared in every installment of the series except for the original on the Super Nintendo system. The blue shell would usually be given to the racer who isn't racing too well on the current track. This spiny shell strikes the opponent who is in first place, and maybe even racers who were right in back of them. That is just so cheap in my opinion. You are familiar with the current track and you are drifting as well as using every item to your advantage. Then you get struck by that spiky shell, by a opponent that has no chance of passing you. Very unfair.
Mario disapproves that spiny shell, you can see it in his eyes.Another item in this racing series that is rather cheap is the Bullet Bill. This item was only in Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS handheld. Bullet Bill is also given to a racer who is probably last when they hit a item box. This item controls your kart through the track for a good five seconds, passes up to four racers maybe. Why not just give them golden mushroom instead. That would pass quite a few opponents, but you still have control of how you are doing such thing.
Other items that I find cheap in the Mario Kart series are the Thunder Cloud that only appeared in Mario Kart Wii (very glad it wasn't in Mario Kart 7) and Lucky 7 that appeared in the recent installment of the series, Mario Kart 7. Lucky 7 gives the racer seven items at one time. Items such as a star and bob-omb.
This seems a little too lucky..The Mario Kart series certainly isn't broken with these unfair items, but hopefully the new installment for Wii U gets rid of them (spiny shell for sure). Maybe replacing them with similar function items, but more fair for the opponents.
Well that is all for now. What items in this racing series do you find cheap? Thank you for reading and please feel free to leave a comment below. Have a good day tomorrow.

Art has been a part of my life for several years now, learning new mediums throughout high school. I've took classes on drawing, paintings, ceramics, digital art, and even photography over the four years, but simply drawing is what I do best. Doodling (fun word to say) is quite relaxing to me, where as painting can get stressful. Here are a pieces of artwork that I drawn recently.
This is Shredder from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. I first drew it out, then went over with ink. Used the scribbled line technique, which I use quite often. I ripped it up to give it some irony..
Yoda, I am. I recently starting drawing with a colored pencil, and really enjoy how it feels. Took about a half hour with this sketch, wanting it to turn out well.
I hardly ever color a whole drawing since it takes too long and shading doesn't show as well compared to just black and white. I took tons of time (about five hours) with this drawing because I'm going to enter it into my anime club's art contest this month.
Wolverine. I actually drew this late last night. Where is his trademark claws might you ask? My reference had the claws by his face, so I left them out. I added the yellow later, making it pop more. I only spent 20 minutes drawing this.Well, that is all for now. Question, do you have a hobby that deals with art? I was very glad that the Baltimore Raven won Super Bowl XLVII last weekend, hanging on to the lead after a power outage. Thanks for reading this blog post and leave free to leave a comment below. Have a great day tomorrow.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and welcome to another blog post of mine. I haven't had the time to post a blog in over a month and tons of things happen during that time. So let's get right to it. Here we go (I must use this phrase).
Black Friday of last year (about two months ago) was quite crazy for my family and I. We actually went to Wal-Mart on Thursday night, seeing the God of War Saga in their ad for only $15 dollars. Good thing I wanted PlayStation 3 games, rather then XBOX 360 because that line was messy. It wasn't really a line though. They had their game in this square box and customers just surrounded it before it was opened by a employee. Customers by the XBOX 360 game box was pushing and shoving, where as PlayStation fans were not as bad. I was able to get the God of War Saga that I wanted and NBA 2K13 for just $25. My brother picked up Batman Arkham City GOTY Edition the next day for only $15 dollars as well.
I only played a tad bit of Chains of Olympus, enjoying it. Looking forward to started the original title in the near future.
Many of you know that I'm a big fan basketball and I haven't played a 2K title since 2006. Really enjoying it with friends.
I adored Batman Arkham Asylum and I've been waiting for the GOTY edition of Arkham City to come on sale.
My famiy and I seen The Hobbit: An Expected Journey about a month ago and I thought it was truly amazing. The action and the light hearted scenes tied in rather well. I first seen the Lord of the Rings Trilogy at a young age, had a hard time understanding what so going on. I wanted to re watch the trilogy in anticipation for The Hobbit, and I was blown away by how great it is. I now adore the series, having so many memorable characters.
My Christmas this year was filled with Legos. I first purchased the Lego Lord of the Rings game for the PS3, adoring every minute of seeing Gandalf in Lego form. On Christmas morning, I opened two Lego LotR sets. The first one was from the Hobbit (seen in the image above) and the second set is from a scene in the Return of the King. The Hobbit set took me several hours to complete, listening to Shire music in that time. I also received a gift to Amazon and some money that I have yet to spend.
I haven't played too many titles that were released in 2012, since I bought a PS3 in late 2011. I played games from Uncharted series as well as the InFamous titles. There are a few 2012 games though that I did play and enjoy. Here is my top five favorite games of 2012.
5. Kid Icarus Uprising
4. New Super Mario Brothers 2
3. Playstation All Star Battle Royale
2. Lego Lord of the Rings
1. Pokemon White Version 2Speaking of Pokemon White Version 2, I've been playing it for weeks nonstop. A team tournament at my local library coming up so I'm training some legendary Pokemon for that. If you would like to battle me, send me a personal message. I won't use legendaries for our battle.
Anime Club at my local library comes once (wish it was twice) a month, and this month is having a Pokemon team tourament which I recently mentioned. It's more like video game club since we usually just play Brawl the whole time. They also have a art contest each month that I partake it in. This drawing of Goku came in second place last month.
The Mushroom Kingdom Union that I originally created is going strong, but needs some new active members to keep in full swing. If you are a fan of the Super Mario series, I would appreciate if you check it out here.
Well that is all for this rather long update. I will never put several subjects into one blog again lol. The Super Bowl is almost here yet again, hoping the Ravens win tonight against the Pats. Ray Lewis deserves another championship ring before retiring. Thanks for reading this and please feel free to leave a comment below. Have a good day tomorrow.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and welcome to yet another exciting blog post of mine. Lately I have been drawing quite a bit, exploring with pen and ink. I might post some of my pieces next week if anyone wants to see them. Also, the huge college football rivalry is happening this weekend. The Michigan Wolverines are facing the Ohio State Buckeyes to end the season as usual. Michigan won last year, ending the Buckeye's eight win (I believe) streak against the Wolverines. Ohio State's football team is undefeated this year, but hopefully Blue can surprise us all. Anyways, on the main topic of this blog. Here we go.
Must own for fans of the fighting genre.This past Saturday (the 17th) was my 20th birthday. You are probably wondering if I received the Wii U system since it released the next day, and the answer is no. I rarely purchase a new console on release since they often update just a year out on the market. The gifts I got from my birthday were just money. I purchased PlayStation All Stars Royale with the money, enjoying it too much already. Many feel that it's just a Super Smash Brothers rip off, but its really not. It feels much different. The object of the game is not to throw your opponent off the screen and it has much more unique attacks per characters and options galore. If you grew up with a original PlayStation, you may be disappointed that there is no Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. But Parappa The Rappa is playable, which I use him often. I plan to purchase many titles on Black Friday including God Of War Saga for only $15 dollars and Batman Arkham City for $10.
Well that all is all for now. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and will diffidently be watching Lions football. What are your plans for tomorrow? Thanks for reading this blog post and feel free to leave a comment below. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and welcome to a blog post of mine. I haven't been able post here in over month since I have been busy with a variety of things. Last Friday was a meeting at anime club at my local library. I dressed up as Super Mario for the meeting, sort of regreting it since the mustache kept on falling off and the costume was choking me most of the time. Anywho, on to the main topic of the blog now. This may contain some SPOILERS, so read at your own risk. Here we go.
Yesterday was my mother's birthday and the whole family wanted to see Wreck-It Raplh eventually, since my mother really enjoys the casual Pac-Man now and again. So we went to see it at your local theater, looking forward to the release of the film for months. It first started with a short film called Paperboy, I believe. That was quite charming and I wanted to see more of it. The video game based film finally started and my eyes were glued to the screen the whole time. The references to game characters were a blast and somewhat noglastic. Ralph, himself was a very likable character and grew throughout the film. The story was delightful, tieing everything together in the end very impressively. I will definintlly be purchasing this film on DVD when its released, so much fun to watch.
Well, that is all for now. This film made me miss arcades very much, as well making me wonder why that there are hardly any running any more. Have you seen this game changing film yet? You certainly should ASAP. Thanks for reading this and please feel free to leave a comment below. Have a good day tomorrow.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and I welcome you to yet another blog post of mine. I signed up Playstation Plus again the other day since they are many titles I wanted to give a try and are now free for plus members. Titles include Scott Pilgrim versus the World and the original Borderlands. I already finished the main story of Scott Pilgrim and I enjoy it quite a bit with the download being a side scroller, packed with action. For Borderlands, the sequel was just released and heard that the original was great. Controls for this first person shooter are tight and rather responsive. Anyways, on to the main reason of this blog, so here we go.
The Avengers was released yesterday and I already planned to wait to purchase this action packed film during the holiday season, get it for a cheap price. I was shopping with my mother yesterday, seeing it was now for sale. I went to the rather large stand that was holding the cases of the films, wanting to check out the back of one of cases. I looked at for just a second, when my mom asked if I wanted it. I was shopping with her for shoes the whole day and she felt that I deserved something and it was on sale already. For the DVD only, $17 dollars at my local Meijer store. I was shocked to see it was on sale, being released that day. We went go purchase it but I wanted to see the other combos of it. The DVD and Blu-Ray combo was also on sale for $20 dollars, originally costing $27. I asked if could that instead since it has deleted scenes and the first gag reel for a Marvel film (I really enjoy those). I popped it in last night, but watched only the menu screen which was pretty awesome in itself. I seen this film in theaters in early May, but felt like it was so action packed that it was tough to soak it all in. I wanted to own so I could enjoy every scene, including Hulk being so darn humorous.
Well that is all for this blog post. Do you plan to pick up phenomenal superhero film eventually and which avenger is your favorite (you can choose one that wasn't in the film if you want)? Mine is certainly the super soilder, Captain America. Thank you for reading this very blog and please feel free to leave a comment below. Have great weekend coming up.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and I welcome to yet another blog post of mine. So the season of college football started yesterday and I was looking forward to matchup between Michigan Wolverines and the Alabama Crimson at Cowboys stadium. Bama scored 21 points in the first quarter whereas Michigan was scoreless. I turned it off after that, not wanting to see them score again. Hopefully they do much better against evenly matched teams this season. Anywho, now to the main topic of this blog, college life has begun for me. Here we go.
I looked for a college related meme and they were all junk..
The past few weeks I have been looking forward to college to start, beginning a new chapter in my life. Classes started just few days ago and I had two classes that day in the evening. The classes are both core classes, english and math. My english will be focused on writing which is good for me, but math is a different story. I'm okay in the subject, but it don't find it interesting what so ever. Though I received a Notebook PC on the first day of math class, which will come in handy for english as well. I stlll have two classes that didn't start yet. Those are Introduction to Design/Construction and Materials of Construction. They are needed for the field I'm going into which is Construction Management Technology. It deals with the work before a building is built, including architectural drafting. Looking forward to those classes this Wedsday.
Well that is all. This is probably be my last blog post for a while since I will be writing tons for english class. Thanks for reading this and feel free to leave a comment below. Enjoy Labor Day friends.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and I welcome you to another exciting blog post of mine. My college life will begin at the end of this very month, but I am looking forward to the next step in my life. I have been driving my first car all around the town and really enjoy it already. Now on to the main topics of this blog, so here we go.
Its Bronco time.I had an idea for a union in early July of this year and pleaded for help shortly after that. After I found the charter members that were willing to help me out with the sports related union, it was finally created. SportsSpot is now in business and doing rather well so far, having over 30 members join in less than three weeks. This union is very laid back compared to the sports game forum and other sport related unions, not focusing on the stats at all. If you enjoy at least one sport, feel free to join it please.
After spending hours and hours with Tetris Axis for the Nintendo 3DS handheld, I found the time to give it a review. Every installment of this long running series has been quite addicting and has some extra content to make it worth while, but Tetris Axis went the extra mile with content. They are many of new modes to choose from. You can read the review right here. Feel free to give it a thumbs up.
Well that is all for now. I am looking forward to this season of the NFL, hoping to see the Detroit Lions in the Super Bowl for the first time ever. Thank you for reading this blog post and feel free to leave a comment below. Enjoy the rest of you summer.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and I welcome you to yet another blog post of mine. Summer is really flying by now, having only a few weeks left until college starts. I am trying to enjoy every last day since I will be rather busy in the fall. Now on to the main topic of this blog, I will be discussing forgiveness of a certain franchise for this new feature on this site called Chalk Talk. The franchise that I forgive is the Pokemon franchise, for numerous reasons. Here we go.
Oh those pocket monsters..The Pokemon series has been around for quite a long time now, releasing tons of titles that includes spinoffs and remakes, having numerous animated series over the years, and making fans want to collect trading cards of the pocket monsters. Some of these items were great fun at first, but then went completely downhill, whereas main entries to the RPG series still shine.
They convinced the world of gamers that you could catch all the Pokemon in the first generation. There are now over 600 pocket monsters throughout the series and they still try to use the same catchy slogan. I forgive them for that because I gave up on that dream a long time ago. Playing Pokemon titles for hundreds of hours has made me finally realize just that.
This series has included many spin offs on many platforms throughout the years. Catching pocket monsters with a pinball machine to just snapping a picture of them while riding a hovercraft has been just a few titles to their spin off collection. The Nintendo DS handheld included many of the spinoffs with both Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon Ranger releasing many entries for the system. Few of these spin offs were very delightful which includes Pokemon Snap (mentioned before) and recently released Pokemon Conquest. Pokemon Snap was surprisingly fun, taking photographs of Pokemon while using items to make them do certain things. Pokemon Conquest crossed with the Nobunagas Ambition formula to use the pocket monsters with strategic gameplay. Many of these titles may be enjoyable for long time fans as to others making them a waste of time and money. I forgive you for some of the boring spin offs (including the Rumble series) since there were a few titles that were worth a play through.
Early entries of this series have seen remakes for the current handhelds at the time. The first entries to the series had remakes for the Game Boy Advance as did the second generation for the DS handheld. Fans are expecting remakes of the third generation for the 3DS handheld in the future. Were these really necessary? Probably not, but huge fans did played them for the nostalgia. I forgive for these remakes because FireRed version is oh so fun.
Pokemon has seen its fair share of animated series as well. They have made quite a few series based on each generation of Pokemon. After the shows that used the second generation, it fell apart in my opinion. New voice actor for Ash as well as no more Misty. The first season was full of greatness, which had quite the catchy theme song. My parents bought me the soundtrack for Christmas a long time ago and I still listen to it here and there. The first few films released that were based on the series were very enjoyable. I remember going to see the first movie in theater with my father and brother. We were the only people who were watching it. I adored the film so much that still own a VHS tape of it somewhere. I forgive for the current episodes and films since the originals were great.
Pokemon trading cards started coming out shortly after the release of the first titles for the series. The cards had (and still have) amazing artwork. My brother and I used to buy packs and decks like it was going out of the style. We had hundreds of cards, boxes full of them. My brother still purchases a pack once and while just to see the artwork. When I was in elementary school, all of my friends had them. We would often trade and have battles during recess, not really knowing how to play. I remember we were playing during class time and we had a substitute that day. She took my deck of cards, including my brothers Chrizard card. She never gave them back to me and my brother is still upset about the situation. I will forgive you for the times that I bought a pack that had all the cards that I already owned because those days during elementary school were wonderful times.
Even though the Pokemon franchise had its ups and downs, it will always be a part of my life. I plan to introduce my children (long time from now) to the series. They will probably call it super lame or something in that matter. I love the Pokemon franchise and I always will.
Well that is all of this very long blog post. Do you forgive something that video game related? I thank you very much for reading this and please feel free to leave a comment below. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and welcome to another blog post of mine. I finally found my first vehicle a few days and I adore it quite a bit already. It has leather seating which is annoying at times, but I will get used to them eventually. Now on to the main topic of this blog. Here we go.
Now that its summer and have some free time, so would like to assemble a delightful union. That union I am speaking of is called SportsSpot, a union based upon all sports. We can discuss a certain sport or even the sports genre in gaming. The sports game forum here is not too organized and I want to have more with it, having off topic thread and game threads. I would like some help with this union, meaning charter members (about 5 of them) that will contribute as much as possible.
1. JBL_Fan7
2. Sockeymonkey
3. Tazzman1000
4. GamerofMario1
5. personyperson
6. tmaclabiThat all is all for today. I am in the middle of writing a review of Tetris Axis so look forward to that. Thank you very much for reading this and please comment on this blog post if you are interested. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Hello to my fellow gaming and friends and welcome yet again to another blog post of mine. I haven't posted a blog in over month again since I have busy learning how to drive and playing video games like crazy. Now that summer is afoot, I plan to blog more as well post some game reviews. Enough of speaking of the past, lets get to the main topic of this blog post, Dragon Ball Z. This may have some spoilers about the series if you are unfamiliar with it, so read at your won risk. Here we go.
I adored Dragon Ball Z as a child, but didn't watch as much as I did other animated series (Rugrats I watched quite a bit). I happen to see the first season of this series on DVD at my local library and decided to check it out, reliving a series I was sort of frighting of with every episode being jam packed with action (Power Rangers was a little lighter on the action..
). After watching many episode that seemed filmier to me, I enjoy the series more than ever. Goku is just amazing and his son, Gohan, watching become strong with the help of Piccolo. As well waiting for the two sayians to arrive to earth and attempt to take it over (it took long enough). I realized that missed Dragon Ball Z series very much and didn't know there was hints of humor throughout each episode.That is all for this blog post. Did you watch Dragon Ball Z as a child and if so, what did you think of it? I plan to review some title I have been playing, including Tetris Axis and maybe Uncharted 2. So look forward to that. I thank you very much for reading this blog and feel free to leave a comment below. Enjoy this week coming up.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and welcome to another blog post of mine. I have not posted a blog in over a month since I've been too busy. I had finish my senior memoir in english class, which required ten pages of writing as well as study for my last exams of high school. Now I'm out for summer and had some time to post this, so lets get to main topic. Here we go.
Willy Wonka and his sarcasm..Last week was my last day of high school for ever, but I am very glad that it's over. I really ready for the next chapter in my life, meaning college and having a job. Seniors at my high school get off earlier than the underclassmen so my summer is already here as mentioned before. I plan to visit this site often and play the video games that I own (never played yet) because this is the last time I will have some free time. I will going to college four days of the weeks along with having a job when I'm not attending this fall. I actually graduate (receive my diploma) this weekend. After that ceremony, there is all night party at a local recreation center, so I'm really looking forward to that.
Well that is all for now. I have also been learning how to drive these past few weeks, which I will be getting my own car very soon. Thanks for reading this blog post and what is your status in education? Feel free to leave a comment below (not a fan of the new system). Enjoy your weekend coming up.

Hello to my fellow gaming friends and welcome to yet another blog post of mine. This past week I have been rather busy planning out my future, such as college. My schedule for the first semester is all ready for me to go by this coming fall. I am ready to graduate from high school and move on to a different stage in my life. Anywho, I will now be getting to the main topic of this blog. Here we go.
I created an account for this gaming site exactly three years ago, meaning today is my three anniversary. The past year using this site was quite a blast. I starting reviewing titles (mainly Nintendo 3DS games) and posted on one union in specific, the Mushroom Kingdom Union. That Union had its ups and downs this year, but is now receiving more activity on the board than ever before. I am truly thankful to of met all of my friends from this site from the past three years. Every one of them have been so nice and often respectful of my opinions. This year is probably the last I will visit this site often. As mentioned before, I'm starting college this fall as well as getting a job. I will have hardly any free time anymore..
The Union that I visited most often.Well that is it. Hopefully I have time to review a few more titles in the upcoming months, although I have had to write papers and papers for my English class lately. Thank you very much for reading this blog post and feel free to leave comment below. Enjoy your weekend.
