Halo 3 and games to come

Yes, Halo 3 is pretty much taking up all of my time. I am playing it non-stop. Yet, for some reason, it is boring right now. I attribute that to the lack of people to play WITH. I think playing with friends makes the game so much more enjoyable and hope that it is the case. Its either that, or its because that is all I have been playing all day. I am leaning towards the latter.

I was thinking recently, and this is going to be a fantastic holiday season, for two reasons:
1. Great Games

• Mass Effect
• Guitar Hero 3
• Halo 3 ( already out)
• Grand Theft Auto ('08)

2. I have money
I really think that one of primary factors of why many kids don't play MORE video games, is because of money issues. Which, is ok, because once the kids have money, they are obviously working hard enough to play less, because they are busy making the money.

Lul

Video games have taken a back seat to running and homework and stuff. So, at most I play 30 minutes a day. But, I have had a pretty long day today, playing Shadowrun, Halo 2, Guitar Hero 2 and maybe Gears of War. Halo 3 better be better than Halo 2, which is laggy and unresponsive. It is worse than Shadowrun, which is an average game. It has been updated and now, it does not take a million years to find a game. I cant beat Freebird on hard, but I beat all easy songs with 5 stars.

Test

This is a test on publishing via email

School

School has started. So, in lay man's terms, it means that I will not have much time to be playing video games. But, I have been playing. I tried out Lost Planet, and I am disappointed. It really wasn't that good. Well, also, of course, I have been rocking out to guitar hero and doing some other small computer game stuff, nothing major. I'm also thinking of buying Garry's Mod.

I redid the blog to show the number of times I have talked about the games, not that anyone reads this anyway.

2. Free Cell

My 360

What is there to do with my 360? I am not even sure. I am thinking of playing Oblivion, but....idk...I'm gonna play some Counter-Strike Source. Thats a fun game.

Guitar Hero 2

I have now graduated into Hard difficulty. I am on level 5 on hard, and the only song that I really had trouble on was woman. Man, that solo is hard. So, the game is a nice flow of achievements points, and so those are climbing. I am hoping to get to 3000 some time soon, before I lose all video games in 2 weeks.

O wait

I also added this neat thing where your Xbox 360 blogs! It's sick. It makes stuff about what I did with it. A blog that I do not have to write. Link on the side. I am also downloading Civ 4 exp. And converting Grandma's Boy so I can watch it on the 360.

Guitar Hero

My good friend Aaron allowed me to borrow his Guitar Hero 2 game and guitar so I am basically just playing that. It's the epic. Thats all.

[S]ummer[s]LAN

[S]ummer[s]LAN is a LAN party that is suppose to be like 150 people and 28 hours in San Fransisco. I recently attended this event and I really enjoyed it. For like 26 hours, we sat and played games. The sad part is that we typically didn't play one game. I am going to suggest that we have some sort of agenda were we put out what game we are going to play. Like include it into the package they give you in the beginning. Just a thought.
Link: http://www.ascendancygaming.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

Well, as most LAN parties entail, I got a lot of games. I managed to get: Battlefield 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Caesar 4, Call of Duty 2, and Star Wars: Empire at War. I also got some movies: Grandma's Boy, Spider Man 3 and Beerfest. There were millions, but I really didn't want any others. Battlefield is awesome, as also UT2004 is. HP disappointed me, so I trashed it and am waiting for the torrent to finish. COD...idk about that yet. Star Wars is good, but EPIC!!!. I am just waiting for SupCom to eventually make space battle.

They also had a nice large raffle and practically every one won something. I won a Computer Case, A Zboard Fang Gamepad, 2 USB powered lights, a case fan and UV cable raps. That Case was definably a good thing, because I'm building a new computer and a case is like $100+. That is some good money saved on purchase cost, taxes and shipping. I am gonna put in an e6600, a nvidia 8600 GTS, 2GB of Ram and 400GB hard drive. Its kinda pricey, but you get what you pay for. I am still wondering if I should get a laptop for college. If I hold out for before I go, I should find some good deals. But I am just looking for a simple, not too good laptop for word, excel, powerpoint and FREE CELL!!!!!

Days till Halo 3
1 month and 25 days

I can Never think of a good title

I have started playing WoW again. Amazingly, its a really fun game. A good computer really helps it out, but playing is not a job, but fun. I think that the key there is if you cant always play it, it becomes a gift when you find time to. I'm playing my Paladin Akoris, of the server Kul Tiras. He is pretty good. I'm debating whether to keep him a twink, or to play him. I'm leaning towards the latter because I don't have any high level characters, so No time like the present to change that.

I have also just finished torrenting Civ 4 and it's expansion. It's a good game. Unfortunately, it's a pretty hard game to just pick up and play. There is no tutorial, unfortunately, and you just have to start playing. I have figured some stuff out. It's not like a RTS, because if you set up a line of guys, the enemy can just run right through you. It's difficult and takes some getting use to.

Xbox 360 is really shaping up to be the console to have this holiday season. With so many games coming out, it will be ridiculous. Madden 08, Halo 3, and GTA IV are expected to take up 1/3 of all games sales. Also the games Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Viva Pinata Party Animals, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, Bio Shock, Call of Duty 4, PGR4, Blue Dragon and many more are all coming out this holiday season. That's a lot of games.

Games

I have been playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. It's so much more fun now that I know the hot keys. It's amazing how important that is to playing the game. I tried to play Supcom about half an hour, but when I started up the game, the internet cut out and the game was lost. Maybe its a sign?? Anyways, I was actually going to play Gears of War. It sounds alluring. Shadow Run is fun, but I think I need a break. I am going to a LAN party tomorrow and will play many a game. LATERZ

Tycooning and Running

Well, if you can't tell, all I really have been doing is playing two things. One is obvious top those who look right now at the Xfire profile. 28 Hours of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. Yes. 28 hours. that game is the poop. I tried number 3. I don't know what I don't like, but it is not as fun as number 2. Maybe it's cause it doesn't run as fast as RCT2, or maybe it's because I don't know the keyboard shortcuts, but it's just not as fun. Granted, the AI is a million times better in RCT3 than RCT2, seen in customer purchases and Janitor patrols.

The other game I've been playing? Shadowrun. That game is so addicting. You don't want to play cause you've played it for 2 hours, then 2 hours later, you're playing again. It's insane!

P.S. What ever happened to Supcom?

So

Wow. That is all I am going to say about ShadowRun. That game is the poop. It is so addicting and fun it is ridiculous. I just wish that Fasa Studio had some sort of statistics to show how many games I've played and how many time I've killed each race and such. They don't like it that it might not be conducive to being competitiveness. I wish it counted the number of hours I played.

Apparently, I've started playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 again. It's NICE!

ShadowRun

So, I think that I just bought ShadowRun. I got it from K-Mart. Kudos to Tyler for giving me the Employee discount and for making 97 years old. I played it and I love it. It's basically, Counter-Strike meets UT2004 meets Halo. Its awesome. Everything is well balanced and its takes a blizzard Starcraft approach of separate but equal. Every race had different strategies that you utilize to win.

So on Logan's computer, TrackMania Sunrise works perfectly. So I'm playing that as well. Also, Supcom is still being played to death. I've been working on the Gears of War Campaign on insane in Tahoe.

So uh

I have found some cool old games. Those are such as Counter-Strike, Starcraft and Maybe even WoW. I'm not sure about that last one, cuase I have a Game Card but I'm not sure I want to Use it yet. Anyway, Counter-Strike is awesome and Starcraft is so much fun. 20,001 Hydras=win. So Um, I drank coffe, so I'm wired. I'm still playing Supreme Commander, but Logan is making it hard to play.

LAN Party

Is where I am right now. I actaully got the computer back at the end of school (June 6). I am currently waiting for S.TA.K.L.E.R. in install and this is sorta passing the time. Well, I have found Supreme Commander tournaments, and they are pretty fun. Well, player that and Armagetron when I'm waiting for shit to happen, such as this. Armagetron is free FYI, so you can download it.

Video Games

Are gone :(. They are gone from my house untill the end of school, for sure. It is unknown after that. I got caught doing something bad. Anyway, I'm getting off easy, and I deserve it, so, whatever.

Starcraft 2

So, Blizzard finally admitted to making a second Starcraft. Finally. My reaction was that of the picture of Blizzard: Hell it' about time. Ya, they don't have a release date yet, but that is expected. So, still playing Supreme Commander like crazy, as you can see in my xfire profile. It is an awesome game. Try it if your computer can handle it. Gears of War I was playing and I got two achievments: Like a spider and Pistelero. So the achievements pool dwindles.

Ya, well I play, unfortunately, the games take forever. You spend like 30 minutes building your economy, at least I do. I always have less points, then eclipse everyone in the end. Artillery FTW. Aeon FTW.
