  Long time no see

  Hey everybody as you can tell I have not really been keeping up on this. After the whole Gersttmann thing I kind of stopped coming here regularly, but I think that Gamespot is past that and will now be completely better. Plus I have like 2900 something posts and don't want to throw all that away lol.

  Well a lot has happened since Christmas time when I last blogged here. I got a new beastly computer back in February. My old computer was about 8 years old, still ran windows ME lol, so my dad did quite a substantial upgrade. It's a Dell XPS, wiht a nice 22inch wide moniter. I'm not going to llist all the specs and stuff but it's got a great quad core processor, 3 gigs of RAM, 8800GTX video card blah blah blah. I really only play games on 360 so it doesn't really matter. My dad just figured if he was going to have this PC for a long time he might as well go big.

  Let's see, I turned 16 back in March, good time.

  I have boughten a whole s***load of games recently. I have all this money and I keep finding great deals so I have to keep buying them lol. The deal I'm most proud of is Forza 2 and Marvel UA for 20 bucks used for the both of them. It was the package that they used to package in with the 360's this holiday, but any time I get 2 great games for 20 bucks that's a steal.

  Let's see, GTA IV.... It's a great game and all but I must say I am actually kind of dissapointed. All I read on the net for about 2 months straight was just how great it is and how it's the greatest game ever. Great game, but nowhere near a perfect 10 in my book. I guess my main beef with the game is that there is just not as much to do in it as there was in GTA San:Andreas.
  Obviously, everything abotu IV is better, graphics, gameplay, everything else, and it's just so polished; but there doesnt' seem to be a whole lot to do outside of the main story, and even though that's fantastic, I liek to go BS around...For example, I've played Oblivion about 55 hours and am only about halfway through the story.

  
  I'll be out of school in 1 week. Tuesday, the day after Labor day. I have finals this week, off for Labor Day, and have a half day that Tuesday. Our schedule is messed up becuase we had to many snow days, and are required by law to attned school a certain amoutn. So basically we have a 3 day weekend before our final half day. Dumb.

  Well that's it for now, glad to be back. Hope everyone that reads this ( about 2 maybe 3 people tops) is doing all rihgt.

  And I'll finish wiht my most anticipated gmaes right now.
  For arcade I'm pumped for Castle Crashers, and for disc I'm ready for Soul Calibur IV.

  Holidays

  Time for my holiday recap.
  Well, to start off, I had a great Christmas, New Year's, and overall holiday school break.

  For Christmas, I got plenty of great gifts, and had a great time. I really love the Christmas time of year. The games I got were Bioshock, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, and Guitar Hero 3 (with guitar). I actually had boughten Call of Duty about a months before hand for $40 at Circuit City, and I bought Guitar Hero 3 with my own money, but I bought it on Christmas Eve so I could have it underneath the tree. It's neat because the I have an Epiphone Les Paul, and it pretty much matches the game controller (they're both black).
  I got a lot of other things besides games too. Like: Linkin Park Live in Texas, Linkin Park LPU6, Linkin Park Frat Party at the Pancake Festival, a pimpin Gator hoody, and some other crap. I had about $300 dollars in cash from relatives and such also, but I blew some of that on GH3 and other things so I only have around $100 something dollars left.

  And some other good news, last night, before I wathced Conan since he's returned with new episodes, I browsed the Xbox Live Marketplace for some sweet downloads. And to my surprise, I found the Gator Boys 41-14 complete domination of Ohio State Suckeyes in the championship game last year. I never thought they'd upload that game, but I'm glad they did. My only bummer is that it's not in HD, but if it were it would probably be 5-plus GB's, so that's ok.

  Well, that's about it for now. Haven't blogged here in a while, butI really don't blog anywhere that much anymore. Unfortunately I have to go back to school on Monday. I've been off since the 20th and have enjoyed my time off/ Played Mass Effect for 15 hours!!! (that's a lot for me) and I've been playing a lot of guitar, constantly improving.it'll be nice to get back into the flow of normal life again, and I'm going to start going to bed earlier during the week.

  Until next time, peace.

  halo 3

  i got halo 3 on tuesday when it came out. i got the 70 dollar limited edition one. the tin is ok i mainly wanted the bonus disk and lil book. the book is neat and the essentails disk is filled with fun crap like teh warthog luanh game and neat vids like a funny how to set up your router.
  the actual game itself is sweeet and i love it. as of this writing im no level six of the campaign, and i kinda know whats goin on in the story cauese the lil booklet in kinda recaps it, but im still pretty fuzzy. but i know enough to appreciate the story and i do enjoy story in my games
  the xbox live play is sploogetastic. i mianly just do social matches and im pretty good my k/d ratio was like 1.06 last time i checked this. i love to play CTF. the thing i love is just partying up with my friends and playing wiht random dudes on live. its great. i love being a d*** to poeple as well lol. as of this writing my ranked stats blow cuause i played a few with my cousin but i didnt know so theyre crappy but oh well.
  the graphics are ok. lightings pretty good. some of teh textures and stuff are just ugly, but some are pretty good. the human faces look lke doodoo though.
  i really love the saved films feature. i like to take pics of me tbaggin people lol.

  all in all though its a great sploogetastic game
