New news on Youtube- I finally reached 200 Subscribers....kinda cool to see people bookmarking my content.....hopefully when project prototype 2 is released i can get a few more people with that =D......

As for one of my Previous Blogs on GT, if you missed it heres your chance to check it out again.....

Status Report : 10-10-2008 (Starcraft Addction, Dexter, LBPenis's?)

Surprised to see a blog from me so soon eh? well, i didn't really think my last blog all about posters would be enough to actually to call it a real blog, it was more of an update but im glad to see people enjoyed checking out many of the new posters for this week.....next week i'll probably add some new dead space posters along with a new set, Jak & Daxter =D....its about time right?

anyways in this edition ill be going over a few things that happened to me recently (last week)

Do you remember the first pc game you ever got? bah....maybe not (i can barely even remember what game got me into pc gaming) but i do remember the first RTS game i ever bought and truely loved. that game was starcraft and my history with the game goes all the way back to middle school.

The first time i checked out starcraft was when i was over a friends house. the one thing i remember about him was that he had 4 brothers (including himself) and 2 sisters, all of which were younger than him, which means your going to have quite a handful when it comes to taking care of the house. Anyways, i was over his house one day when he was playing a game that was unknown to me but was really intriguing. i asked him what it was and he said Starcraft. at the time i had no idea how big it was around the world or who blizzard was but i did think it looked pretty awesome.

About another month or so later i decided to go out and purchase the game for myself. right off the bat i was surprised and excited to see that it could play on my computer. (at the time i really didn't know a whole lot about computers, just that i had a compaq presario with windows ME as the operating system, something like this...... as soon as i started playing the game i found it highly addicting as well as strategically intensive. (it was the kind of game where you really had to think ahead of time in some situations)

The main thing about the game that really made it a better overall experience was that each race was so balanced. just as soon as you found one thing that was awesome for one race, you see something completely new in one of the other races....i remembered always being Terran when i first started out the game, that was until i figured out that zerg could burrow under the ground and how awesome a zergling rush was. over time i slowly started to experiment with protoss and saw what a beastly race they were. i mean, tell me that the floating cruiser (cant think of the name right now) with 8 mini ships that came out to attack a target wasn't awesome!?

The more i played the game, the more i wanted from it. i soon started to experience playing with cheats and found that to be surprisingly addicting, as long as you only use show me the money, operation cwal, and black sheep wall. playing with power overwhelming on (god mode) was just to easy and once you turned it on in a free for all match against other bots, they all got the god mode cheat as well... (when you fought them, they would die. but when they fought each other, no one would die) it just turned out to be a gigantic lag field...kinda fun to watch =p. still to this day i find the game highly addictive with those cheats (normally after a while cheats make almost every game boring, without the fear of dying or losing things, the overall experience can turn out to be bland, try playing unreal tournament with cheats on one level for more than an hour and you will soon understand what im saying....)

Even after all that i still wanted more, so i decided to start making maps of my own. most of my maps tend to be overly generous with the resources but dangerous on the location of the battle field) i was more or less just excited to create them in order to see what happens and how much of the field i could dominate without actually attacking anyone...

Now i would love to go into another paragraph and mention all of my strategies and such but this is becoming quite long and rarely anyone wants to read a wall of text so....ill save it for another time =D

So season 3 just started and so far its pretty good, i love how right when you start to get used to the idea of dexter starting over with a clean slate gets quickly interrupted when [spoiler]Dexter kills the brother of an assistant district attorney who was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time and when he finds out Rita is Pregnant[/spoiler]O_O.....already were in another pool of blood....but with all this going on it sure does keep the viewers interested in whats going to happen next.


I'm so glad we haven't seen any of this crap in the game yet (well, at least from my stand point i haven't seen anything of this matter......yet) stuff like this is a waste of time and overall leaves a bad taste in your mouth because you realize that there are those out there who are too immature to play a create your own world game without adding something as childish as that (see Spore)


*Try's to find penis drawings from Superbad*..................ah, screw it....i cant find any atm and i don't feel like screen capping any right so this will have to do....

Seth: When I was a little kid, I kinda had this problem. And it's not even that big of a deal, something like 8 percent of kids do it. For some reason, I don't know why. I would just kinda... sit around all day... and draw pictures of dicks.
Evan: What?
Seth: Draw pictures of dicks.
Evan: Dicks? Like a man dick?
Seth: Yes. Like a man dick.
[while you see Seth when he was a kid]
Seth: I'd just sit there hours on end drawing dicks. I didn't know what it was. I couldn't touch the pen to the paper without drawing the shape of a penis.
Evan: That's fucked.
Seth: No shit. It's really fucked up. Here I am. A little kid. And I can't stop drawing dicks to save my own life.
[you see the kid Seth draw a lot of different dicks on different sheets of paper and see a gallery of his drawings one by one]
Evan: Alright, I mean... I just don't see what this has to do with Becca.
Seth: Just listen. Okay?
[you see the kid Seth in a classroom]
Seth: Your precious little Becca sat next to me for all of fourth grade. And in the classroom was where I did the majority of my illustrations. I was very secretive about this whole dick operation. Even I thought I was fucking crazy. Imagine what everyone else would think? So I would stash all my dick drawings in this Ghostbusters lunchbox that I had. So one day, I'm finishing up this real big, veiny, triumphant bastard, all of a sudden...
Kid: Pussy!
[walks by the kid Seth and pushes his notebook and his dick drawing off the desk, and it lands near kid Becca]
Evan: You hit Becca's foot with your dick?
Seth: Yeah. I know.
[kid Becca picks up the drawing he just did, looks at it for a second, sees that it's a dick, and screams her head off and runs to the teacher]
Seth: She starts crying, she flips out. Then she rats me out to the principal. He finds this Ghostbusters lunchbox dick treasure chest and he fucking flips out.
[you see more of his dick drawings one by one]
Seth: He calls in my parents. Turns out this principal is a religious fanatic, and he thinks I'm possessed by some sort of dick devil. My parents go make me see some therapist, and he's asking me all these dick questions. They literally stopped me from eating foods that were shaped like dicks. No hot dogs, no popsicles... You know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds.
Evan: Well, I don't... That's really messed up. Supergay.

AH HMM *clears throat*, to get back on the main topic..... just i started to come up with this idea i remembered seeing this.....

Now, there's nothing wrong with the person who uploaded the video, its just, why would anyone want to make something like that....this is the kind of crap that produces bad publicity towards a game. when that happens you start to see restrictions placed on what you can and cannot create. i mean, who really wants to see such an adorable (rarely ever use that word) game like Little Big Planet represented in a bad way on a fake news station (lets say....Fox News). it was not only bad taste but bad timing.....

Everyone's got a collection of games, what does yours look like? below is mine (a few are missing but overall these are all the cases/games i own, click to get a closer look)
Back in the day i played many of these games....though its a shame i had more games that i sold for close to nothing when now you can barely even find them unless you were to buy them online......

All my games....seems like not that many now that i think about it and compare it to others but its all i have atm. i'll most likely get more over the next coming months but right now i think i can keep busy playing FFXII and KH2....and if that doesn't work out there's always school work......

other games i have on pc- Call of duty & United Offensive, Starcraft & Brood War, GTA vice city, half life 2

other games i have on psp- Final fantasy crisis core, monster hunter portable 2nd G, Final Fantasy Tactics, Power Stone Collection, Lumines, Wipeout Pulse

other games i have on ps2- dragon ball z budokia tenkiechi 2 (my brothers), Gta 3, twisted metal black online

Another collection of mine that i still look back at every now and then is my magazine collection. i used to collected loads of them in the past. i think my overall favorite at the time was OPM (Official PlayStation magazine) mainly due to the way the magazine was layed out and the information that packed inside of every issue. Also i don't want to forget about the many great pics, posters, and demos that came along with every issue.

You don't know how hyped i was when i first got these two magazines....the saddest part was that i don't even have either of these games but i have played the demo's of both and really wanted to purchase them at some point in time (there's a really long story between me and the ever evasive FFX, ill save that for another time.....)

So i got the free cookie i was talking about in my final LWIR and overall it wasn't bad....especially for an oatmeal cookie (i haven't eaten oatmeal in like.....10 years O.o. Good Stuff though, i wasn't sure what kind they were going to send me but luckily i managed to get something with chocolate.....(as seen below)

The Package it came into, im really surprised how long it took to arrive at my house. it said it would take around 3-4 weeks but it came in about 2....

After one bite i was hooked...some how i managed to get a quick shot just before it was all gone.....

If your interested in getting a free cookie for yourself check out the site, i think there promotion is still going on.....http://kashi.com/

Well....that's it....
As a final thing, check out some of the recent videos i uploaded, This years TGS is great....some how i managed to grab some footage of Monster Hunter 3 in game gameplay (which looks great) and the new bayonetta trailer along with some new Sonic Unleashed Gameplay and the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm TGS Trailer.....
