  In a gaming dry spell.

  I have no money.

  Well, wait, I do have money....but I don't have money. Allow me to explain. I've been saving up all my money because I have to pay for half of drivers ed and a car. So I have money saved up, but I can't use any of it. Because of this, I have been unable to get any new games. Seeing my brother with all his new games makes me jealous. He's always got the newest, coolest games. Alas, I will be unable to buy new games for myself until I'm able to get a job. *Sigh* Oh well, better break out SSX Tricky.

  UPDATE: Just last night, my brother lost his Xbox 360. Yup folks, it had the 3 rings of death. Now he has nothing to play games on. Hahahaha, we're even!

  UPDATE 2: He bought a new one the next day and transferred his old hardrive to it. I hate him.

  My general thoughts on GH3, and a little story of a happy moment.

  Well, my older brother just picked up Guitar Hero III for his Xbox 360, and since we're both gamers he wanted to share it with me. My first thoughts when I saw the game was "Wow, these graphics are pretty intense!" Then, after he had played through a song (he's some-what of a beginner by the way, struggling his way through medium but getting better everyday) he handed the guitar to me. The guitar controller for GH3 is way better than the others. It just feels sturdier and looks cooler. Then I began to poke around the tracklist looking for a song. I was very impressed. Being someone who is more into newer alternative rock then classic rock I was very happy to find songs from The Killers, AFI, and Muse in with the other classics. I decided to try "When You Were Young" by The Killers. This was the first time I had played it, and I also wanted to get used to the controller. So I put it on medium. Now, I have both GH I and II for my PS2 so I was actually better then my brother. I started the song, it was relatively easy, which wasn't suprising. My brother left to go the bathroom and I just kept playing. When he walked back in I was on a 300 note streak, I hadn't missed a single one. He sat down and watched in disbelief, he had never actually seen me play GH. As the song came to a close he said "Did you hit every note?" I said "I think so." and he was like "Woah, you just got me two achivements!" and I was like "Oh, ok." Then his friend signed on and he started talking to him and was telling his friend about how I "destroyed" the song. He wanted me to vs. his friend but I never got a chance too. This was probably for the best, because his friend was good, I saw them play a match and his friend was on hard and doing very well. I usually play on hard so I think I could take him, but I just wasn't used to the songs like he was.

  Now, I guess the main reason I'm so happy about this is that it's not often that my older brother (who is 19) ever praises me for gaming. He is really good at any game he picks up. So he usually focuses on his achivements and shows me games, but doesn't really let me play his games, and even when he does, he doesn't expect me to be any good. So I feel like he actually respectss me, his little sister, as a gamer at least a little more than he did before.
