System Shock 2 Co - op!

2011-05-15T01:02:00.000-07:00

Im playing system shock 2, but not alone. Im playing co - op. Its only LAN though, were working to get it on himachi. Its the best thing since the time i tried coffe. I've actually put the whole game with many optimazation (screw spell check) mods and other customizations all on a flash drive on my key ring. Im tired so basically game is awesome and im still here.

Half Life 2 Map Pack

2011-03-30T21:30:00.001-07:00

Im actually making progress with my maps! There no where close to being finished but as long as I can see progress being made the whole process goes more awesome. I even began tampering around with lighting.

I know its not much yet, but hey, it should look better with textured walls right?

As promised

2011-02-09T09:06:00.000-08:00

Theres actually more that ive written down,this is just all i have typed so far. But at least im actually doing it!

Puddles

The humidity was heavy. Every step felt like walking through thin layers of water. It had just rained and the students were leaving their dorms heading to class. Ben, however was a commuter, making the daily trek to and from the university. From the brim of his hat, dew was dripping. He always wore that hat, but on occasion wore a plad beanie. He had gotten it from a friend’s house last year after graduation and had worn it almost every day since. It was a dirty orange color with the word “Gulf” displayed within a blue circle on the center.
It seemed that every time someone over 40 saw him wearing it, he would get a lecture over how old it must be followed by the entire history of the Gulf oil company. One man, who was older than most who inquired about the hat, even tried to buy it from him.
He was coming up to it again. He looked down at his dark blue shoes and then up again down the sidewalk down to where it dipped down to meet the street. It was there that a puddle normally formed for a couple days after each rain. Its color was burnt red from the reflection of the nearby dorms brick walls. He could see some dirt and several blades of grass floating around in a circular motion. When he got to it he slowly walked around it through the squishy grass. Not today puddle, he thought to himself, not today…

I think im also going to post on Deviantart also, (you can post stories there right?) in an attempt to get more people to read this blog. Ill try to have at least the first chapeter finished on thursday... wait, thats tommorow... ok friday then.

overwhelming

2011-02-01T07:19:00.000-08:00

So the thing I said yesterday about post a third person narritive once a week (did I say that?). Well anyway it broke me. I thought about it all day. I thought about it all day. I thought about it all day. I thought about it all day. I thought about it all day. I thought in third person all day. Which happens to be something dangerous for me. I was in soo deep inside my own mind. The way I thought was differently than I have ever before. I've actually written a lot that ill post later this afternoon.

The Return!

2011-01-31T07:09:00.000-08:00

It's been awhile, but I'm once again back to try and do this blog thing. I'm thinking of trying to post once a week and work my way to once a day. But anyway, I'm going to start a journal type thing on here but it's going to be told in third person, cause everything is better in third person (most of the time) like in dead space 2! Which has gained the privilege of getting on "the list", the list of the best games I have ever played. With the very top of the list being the Half Life series, including Portal, Dead Space 2 delivered on every level, story telling, audio, scar factor, innovative combat, and the most ridiculous and dramatic scripted events ever. There have been major improvements since the first game. A major overhaul in the zero gravity sections now allowing full movement and floating, no more being tethered to walls. There's a lot more to cover once I'm on a computer, right now I'm using my iPod. But anyway minecraft is badass

Bored at school

2010-05-13T08:51:00.000-07:00

Somehow the shool does not seem able to block Blogger, so I'm in Class and bored, we took some dumb end of course thing for All the juniors and sophomores in here. so i'm done and haven't posted in a while.

next Tuesday is wallet D-Day, three big titles Come Out. Red Dead: Redemption, Split/Second, and Alan Wake. All of which I've been looking at for ages. Anyway I'm pretty pumped for all of it.

So last Thursday night we went and saw Iron Man 2. My favorite part was the previews... OK the movie was actually pretty Awesome but there was this one trailer that did the same thing to Me as the first cloverfield trailer before transformers. It was just as mysterious and captivating as Cloverfield. the trailer was for...

-Super 8-

Steven Spielburg is the producer, J.J. Abrams is directing. IS THIS THE NEXT CHAPTER OF CLOVERFIELD??

A year of Sequels

2010-02-24T21:02:00.000-08:00

It's the eve of my San-Antonio trip. I have some business to take care of up in north Texas...

I cried like a woman. I Freaked out. I got light headed. I Screamed. Thats what these games did to me.

Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 are on the table.

First off Bioshock 2 is not Bioshock 1, The story does not vary much into the first game and could almost stand as a separate game completely although to really feel the atmosphere the first game is still required. Bioshock 2 still is epically intense. It's main issue is how people compare with Bioshock 1. We can compare all day, but with different developers and separate stories you honestly cant complain with a true intention.

Now Mass Effect 2...

Mass Effect 2 Delivers. The story and plot of this game is something to truly experience. It is defiantly better than the first but the first is a MUST HAVE, as it literally sets up ALL of ME2. Mass effect 2 actually did make me cry; this is a space very intense story but it has many surprising and moving side quest to go along. Not to mention the best plot ever. Honestly... and I hate myself in saying so... this is the best series I have played since Half-Life, and that's really saying something from my Crowbar-wielding fanboyness.

So yeah, youll dance, youll cry, hell you might even fall in love. Don forget to take a shower and pay your taxes... So yeah um... Bobby Darin?

I love garrys mod

2009-11-08T20:06:00.000-08:00

Sometimes you have those nights when your just like... WOW THAT WAS AWESOME. Last night was like that in GarrysMod. Heres some pictures as evidence.

Last 2 Left 4 Dead 2 Campaigns unveiled!

2009-10-12T14:32:00.000-07:00

Last two Left 4 Dead 2 Campaigns have been unveiled. Wheather intentionally or on purpose is unknow but who cares really with news like this. Dead Center takes place in a mall, a typical zombie theme, and hopefully reminds us of long lost Dawn of the Dead movie. The Hard Rain seems to take place during a "cough" "cough" hurricane in Louisanna around a industrail complex. Looks might interesting...

Playing with portals

2009-10-04T20:10:00.000-07:00

I like Portal... A LOT. Enough to where I've figured out how to play "Still Alive" on any brass instument, although mainly the tuba. So the other morning in band class I was doing my usual playthrough of "Still Alive" when the guy next to me turns and says "hey! your playing still alive!". You could just imagine my reaction. So we talked a bit about, well everything really, found out his steam username and well the next day we were Heavy Medic combo in TF2. THAT'S an amazing way to meet new people...

Back up

2009-09-30T20:14:00.000-07:00

Final year of High School started back in August back fact of the matter is that I have to use my backup computer because my primary computer is having massive hard drive failures...

So anyway Crash Course, The new Left 4 Dead mini campaign is out and is total epicness.

Schools be so busy havent had much time to post, just letting anyone know im still here.

ahh... The Dead never ends..

2009-08-09T00:03:00.000-07:00

you know what valve? I think Left 4 Dead is awesome, I don't care about having to pay $50 for Left 4 Dead 2, I really pumped for the 'Crash Course' campaign, bringing 'No Mercy' and 'Death Toll' together, and I cant explain the amazing freaking awesomeness I've had with the game. It's just too much... Tanks spawning at the very begging of a level 5 times in a row, or sometimes never spawning in a level. I'm happy to even go to say that I'm even happy to fail at getting Nothing Special soo many times because that just means i get to try again. It just astonishing in general. So I'm proclaiming tonight the start of a new project, a so called 'documentary' with important game play of Left 4 Dead as played by me and *cough* *cough* other true Left 4 Dead players showcasing the amazing, epic, humorous, dramatic, or any other type of reason that Left 4 Dead is as freaking amazing to FPS Gaming as Casablanca was to movies...

Innovation with Half Life 2 Deathmatch

2009-07-14T17:20:00.000-07:00

So last nite was a long late nite. I decided to play a not so recent game, Half Life 2 Death match. I didn't expect it to be that much fun. i didn't expect it to last till 7:45 in the morning either. The map was dm_dropoff (I think) where it was more than just straight up death match. The map was centered around a medium sized base with an old dry boat passageway surrounding it. In the base is a computer that, when activated, sets a timer for a missile launch. After the countdown has been commenced, the two main doors will begin to close. As they close, you can prop them open with objects letting your last couple of teammates, or enemies, able to crouch through. After the time is up, the missiles fly in and everyone outside the base is completely incinerated.

Me and my freind were on seperate teams, but we still worked together a bit. We eventually both made it into the control room at the same time. We had a truce and decided to barricade ourselves inside with props lying around. We were in there for a while hunkered down returning fire, but after 10 to 15 mins a rocket finally ended our rein. After this we realised that the countdown had been initiated. I booked it to the door, which was being held open slightly by a chair, and quickly crouched in as the bombs fell. I spun around and shot the chair out from underneath the door just as the blinding white light filled the screen... Intense

So thanks Valve, thanks for HL2DM and all the innovation you allow us to have

District 9

2009-07-10T17:52:00.001-07:00

Since cloverfield I've been waiting for something that would be that awesome again. It seems that there is something about to be at theaters that may amount to the same level of different and innovative type of storytelling that i like. This new movie (film) is District 9.

Aliens have landed, and there not hostile... at first. They came for a visit, but then things went array. We started asking them about their weapons, they wanted to leave, we dont let them. They, the aliens, are then all housed in an area know as District 9. They then begin to revolt.

How Wii... had fun

2009-07-05T18:59:00.000-07:00

On our recent church trip this past week I finally saw how the Wii has been put to good use. We went to a retirement home, which had a Wii, where we were to help out around the place and bond with the residents. It was actually a lot of fun, but i was really surprised how positivly the residents have responded to the system, they really like to bowl, and they seemed to like still being able to do things like bowl, golf, or even BOX! Anyway I was just excited to see videogames actually used for a true contentful and helpful event for once. It was cool

iPodwizard

2009-06-29T16:07:00.000-07:00

So I got a message on youtube today and it seems less and less people are visting iPodwizard, my answer for this? With the release of new Apple Product after New Apple product people dont care for the older, more complex ways of customization and insted with ... ZOMG LIGHTNIG OUTSIDE!!! .... easier more simple ways of jailbreaking with the iPod touch and iPhone, not that theres anything wrong with jailbreaking but... I dont know how to say this, Ill just post the message I sent back to IPW...

-i agree, with people flocking to every new device apple puts out its harder to get others to pay attention to the older models, even with all the personal customization. I still have my old iPods and I will never EVER get rid of them or lose them, they are some of my most important possesions i own. Everything I learned (iPod hackit wise that is) came from all the forums at IPW, without all that i would not have ever been inspired to go into proggramming or anything like that, without all that I dont know where i would be, long story short IPW sparked my initiative to begin to do things insted of sitting around talking and thinking about them,to stop being so freaking lazy and do something. Sure ill start being more in volved with the forums but to save IPW, something will need to happen, like a new project or something big, something that would catch Apple, the general population, and anyones elses attention-

Visit the site, visit the forums, it's a very nice community they have set up, and its not just about iPods either, lots of good people

Fallout 3 - Point Lookout

2009-06-27T08:53:00.000-07:00

I haven't really talked about the Fallout 3 DLCs much so since anywhere is a good place to start let us start with the most recent DLC Point Lookout.

Story:
Buy a ticket and hop on board the Duchess Gambit, as Tobar the Ferryman takes you to the strange seaside town of Point Lookout. What secrets does the dilapidated boardwalk hold? Who lives in the sprawling mansion? Why is the Punga Fruit so important? And what horrors lie in the depths of the murky swamp?

Point Lookout is the most open-ended DLC yet, and allows you to explore a huge, swampy wasteland any way you’d like. A completely new quest line allows you uncover the town’s hidden secrets and wield powerful new weapons like the Double-Barrel Shotgun against the swamp’s dangerous, and deformed, denizens.

- Fallout 3 Official Site

Yes this DLC was quite amazing. Had some pretty good big and little plot twist along the way. Lots of new enemies including something that resembles an inbred zombie, and a very rude but cool ghoul Named Desmond. Although the entire DLC was awesome there were 4 major high points I think that need careful attention to all the work that Bethesda puts into this game.

High Point 1 - When you reach the "sprawling mansion" know as Calvert Mansion you will only have a brief amount of time to take in all the nice architecture as your quickly thrust into a massive defensive attack that closely resembles a zombie outbreak. There is also a very good demonstration of the Physics Engine used in Fallout 3; use grenades in rooms with lots of plates and other things of the sort. Explosions, falling through multiple floors, last stands and a fail safe are all included.

High Point 2 - Your later sent on a mission to obtain Punga Fruit Seeds from the Master Punga Fruit, upon reaching it you are sprayed by the plant and sent on a massive "acid trip" seeing things that im not going to ruin, but all I can tell you is that it was like nothing ever experienced on Fallout 3 before.

High Point 3 - Later at the Calvert mansion something else huge occurs leading to a massive _______ and ________ of _________ fly everywhere. One of my favorite top moments of fallout ever.

High Point 4 - The final battle can be amazing depending on how you play it out, just don't make it boring, live and be epic.

LOWEST POINT EVER - At the "end" of the DLC I noticed something, I got no XP for anything, in fact I cant get any XP anymore, Im only at level 27, Bug in update?

And have you heard about id Software and Bethesdas little innuendo?

Now on a completely different note, Left 4 Dead, I've killed 46,107 infected (zombies) out of the 53,595 need for the Zombie Genocidest Achievement and I'm now going full force BEAST MODE on anything that moves so watch out

Crysis 2

2009-06-25T19:49:00.000-07:00

The first Official trailer for Crysis 2 was recently put up, not much show but what did you expect?

ROBERT SHOULD HAVE WON WGC

it was freakin close
so freakin close

The Office of Recreation

2009-04-13T19:06:00.000-07:00

Here at Blogs From a Bathroom, We (meaning me) strive to talk about more than just games. So let's talk about the new series from Deedle-Dee Productions , the people who brought us The Office , are bringing us a new show Parks and Recreation.P&R takes place in the town of Pawnee Indiana, where Leslie Knope director of Parks and Recreation, is currently trying to transform an undeveloped basement into a brand new park. Very Office like but different, really good opening sequence too.

On Sci-Fi channel tonight The Ultimate Gamer season finale is on. Who will win, Robert or Mark? Games being played are Soul Caliber 4, Shawn White Snowboarding, and Gears of War 2. It's going to be an epic battle no matter what but will have to wait and see.

Recently on xbox live I've been put in place of our "clan" sub-division of all Valve games we play. Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead Are the main games but those are two of my favorites so I'm happy.
I've never really talked about the "clan", MrNiceGuy4400 stated it and theres this stupid feud over it and I wish it were a "clan" that actually played matches regularly like PC clans are, but anyway the clan is called UWF, short for United We Fight. So ya. That's what the xboxers want. To be like the PCers, But I guess theres nothing really wrong with that, It just needs to be more organized.

Upcomming Events

2009-04-07T20:17:00.000-07:00

There's two games coming out on the distant but not so distant horizon, well now that I think about it theres three. First is Prototype, the third person action adventure where you play as a genetically enhanced super mutated shape-shifter. As an experiment gone wrong you can consume other humans DNA giving you more powers and capabilities as you progress. From the recent gameplay videos it looks as if your in GTA IV with superpowers. It also looks like were going to be involved in a number of epic helicopter fights along with many cars being thrown, blown up, and well just a lot of destruction.

Next is a game is a bit different than the norm. In Dark Void your a pilot who got lost in the Bermuda Triangle and gets thrown into a Different Dimension, different planet, time zone... Whatever you get the drift. In this new place you and other survivors fight against these alien, robots, android, synthetic being... whatever. Anyway you get a jetpack and a gun. Lots of interesting combat situations.
There's been a lot of talk about the Vertical Combat Situations with you taking cover while hanging on to a Cliff, UFO type thing, weather balloon... whatever, and firing above you. Sure looks interesting. One thing against it though is that from what I've seen, the graphics could look a bit better but hey, they get the job done.
Also I'm sure you've seen or heard of Battlestar Galatica, well the guy who made the music for that show is going to be composing the music for Dark Void. Just a heads up.

Then there's RED FACTION : GUERRILLA . Game looks to be awesome. Very destructible envierments , ( How many times have we heard that before ). Gameplay videos show complete buildings being demolished in real time. My main concern is weather I should get this for 360 or PC . It is 20 bucks cheaper on PC with better graphics and it will probably run better on my machine than the 360, thought the multiplayer is probably going to be more fun on 360.

Now then, anyone watching Sci-Fi channels WCG Ultimate Gamer? Tonight the featured game was Halo 3 . It was cool seeing some real pros play that intense, although Dante got boned in their elimantion match. Anyway you should watch it's good.

Also Crytek, developers of Crysis and FarCry, have been showing off their new CryEngine 3 engine made to be able to run very high graphics settings in the Xbox 360 and PS3, and if you ask me this is a real breakthrough for console gaming. This brings some of the graphical miracles of Crysis to consoles. Not to mention how amazing CryEngine 3 will look on PC. Lets just hope we don't have to use Vista or DX 10 or 11 to run it.

long time no time

2009-02-26T19:30:00.000-08:00

So in short - Ive been busy

anyway....

You know that recently new Blackberry Storm, right? Every time the commercial comes on it makes me want to scream. In the commercial, the man using excliams about how the touch screen keybord clicks... Well guess what blackberry, The iPhone does that! In fact it did it way before you every did. Whats that blackberry? you also say it has 3g internet speeds and nice easy to use email? Have you been under a freakin rock...

But it's not just blackberry ( although their blackberry storm is one of the worst ) making all these iphone clones. The LG Dare which I have the misfortune of having which also screems "I wanna have the sucess". Then there's Sprint with their Instinct . It's ridiculous. Do they not know what innovation is? But then thats the key to the iPhone. It was new, quick, and stylish. Now we have all these Knock-offs thinking they can do practically the same thing expecting the same popular demand. You could probably take the audio from some of the iPhone commercials and put that in place of the audio from the knock off commercials and it would be advertising the same thing, especialy with the Storm.

Back to the gaming scene...

F.E.A.R. 2 Left me speechless, let alone depressed, confused, disturbed, and put me on a roller coster of emotion. F.E.A.R 2 did something, that I haven't seen that often. Leaving you entirely helpless and unable to help the characters that the game tries to make you close to. A part inparticular with one of your fellow operatives named Keagen (misspelling?) where he literally wanders off for the latter part of the game. You end up following him seeing him randomly puff into smoke or yell or scream. Then after a while I would actually yell at my computer screen "KEAGEN!!" because I just knew he had a terrible fate comming and "I knew I had to stop it", I didn't want him to die, I wanted to save him so badly. Well you do find him and lets just leave it with I wish I could have done more for him. It almost made me feel the way I felt about Eli Vance at the end of Half Life 2 : episode 2.
Also I never want to be THAT CLOSE to Alma ever ever ever ever again. The game kinda ended at a bad time. Big cliffhanger.

By the way Mirrors edge for PC looks more than amazing. It's the only game I cancompare graphically to Crysis. It's actually a quite a bit different than the 360version, with sheet physics, realistic tearing with flags and such. Also the DLC for more race maps has recently become avlible. I actually advise getting it, worth your while.

Let's see what else...

Oh yea GTA IV DLC the Lost and the Damned came out. It's alright but has too much F-bombing. The multiplayer mode Chopper vs. Chopper is hands down one of my favorites.

It can get very epic.

Left 4 Dead get's more epic everytime I play it. Me and freinds (while waiting for the upcoming survival mode due this spring) have created our own survival mode, which involves entering a infinate panic event on any of the final episodes of any campagin on easy... Ya on easy. Now just because it's on easy doesnt make it too easy when your tring to hold out with two to three tanks at the same time. The best is in Dead Air on top of the plane, or Death Toll , in which I advise activating the rescue boat to come the running back to just ouside the safe room in the middle of the street.

Well thats it for now... oh wait it's not because once again I went mentally insane today, get the lemonade away from me. Keagen should stop running away, why do I always die after saving someone else from a tank, since when does mirrors edge have snipers shoot rats and birds, why does the chopper not explode on impact, look at the clouds go by, says the king of fridays.

....

2009-01-25T14:29:00.000-08:00

I love this computer

Hold up

2009-01-06T17:57:00.000-08:00

I think I've never mention I got Fallout 3 a couple of months ago for PC. Very well designed for open ending gameplay. I probably never do every single little thing in this game. Its a very inspiring game. They have recently released an editor for mods too. Ive been working on one for a while too. It's not too complecated.

A lot and after Christmas...

2009-01-06T17:35:00.000-08:00

First, new gaming computer on the way...

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (1066MHz FSB) (8MB Cache)
Motherboard: NVIDIA 650i Core 2 Quad (Chipset: nForce 650i Ultra)
System Memory: 4GB DDR2 667MHz Corsair
Power Supply: 550W Corsair HX (Dual SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition)
Hard Drive: 320GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA)
Optical Drive 1: DVD±R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 20x / CD-Writer 48x)
Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)
Video Card(s): 2x SLI Dual (NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT 512MB) (Includes PhysX Technology)
Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio
Extreme Cooling: Standard Factory Heat-sink and Fan
Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans
Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue)
Windows OS: Microsoft Windows XP Home (Includes Service Pack 3)

dont ask how much it cost...

...So soon I will Truly be playing Crysis soon...

Gears of War 2 had a way better ending than Gears one did. Way more epic and had very emotional points that went with the music perfectly. Gears one had better music though in my professinal opinon.

I was wrong about Left 4 Dead, it never gets old. I have it for PC and 360. First game that makes it fun to be the Zombies.

Farcry 2 for 360 now which isnt really that different than the PC besides the editor and the fact of the lower graphics.

I got Mirrors Edge too. That was a unexpected insant classic. Great Game. Amazing gameplay. Great story, that for some reason makes me think of Leathal Weapon, and even great cutscenes when they were real time.

Hopefully The new computer will be able to run GTA IV decentaly too.

I think Braid comes out for PC in Febuary.

and thats all for now.

One more test

2009-01-05T16:49:00.000-08:00

One more test. I'm trying to figure out weather or not I should buy a blogger app from the app store or not.

iPhone blogging test

2009-01-05T16:38:00.001-08:00

I have been having trouble trying to blog from my iPhone and iPod and this is just a test.

Why would anyone do that?

Long story short, a good freind of mine stole my iPod Touch ( 1st Gen). Now if you dont know me, I get extreamly attached to my iPods. One day I'll post that long story. Well he took it out of my car and went and scratched the serial number off the back. I locked him out of my lake house and went threw his bags and found it. I went to Settings -> General -> About and found the serial number there. I then called up Apple who was kind enough to confirm that it was mine. I then nagged him bout it for the rest of the trip we were on hoping he would give it back without me having to just take it, and he did, but its in bad shape. He jailbroke it but download so much unnecessary themes and stuff. Sigh....

Anyway got Gears 2 and Call Of Duty : World At World. Which are both fun. I'm impressed with the zombie mode in COD: WAW. A lot of last minute innovation went into this. Horde in Gears is nice too but NAZI ZOMBIES is just so much fun.

Everyone is bugging me about Left 4 Dead though. I'm gonna get it for 360 and PC. But anyway......

...... this is what me and my Friends have been up too. You know goofing off, not Showing off

Amazing week - one of the longest entries so far

2008-11-20T19:27:00.000-08:00

The past week or so I've been debating over weather I should try out for the soccer team. I've been trying to try new things lately. For example, I joined U.I.L. computer applications which is the first extra-curricular active besides band that I've been in the past 4 years. On Tuesday I wore Blue Jeans (well long pants in general) to school for the first time ever. Then today I wore a hoodie with a design on it for the first time also. But back to the main story.
I'm not sure why but it just kep popping into mind and the sentence "have no regrets", well i ended up not trying out yesterday...but then today my good Friend Cody asked me if I wanted to go play ultimate Frisbee with some people from his church. I thought about it a bit and almost didn't go. But I was so glad I went.
I was amazed that I played as good as I did. Then after that we rested a while we played a little... soccer. I couldn't believe we played soccer, the one sport I almost tried out for at school, but anyway it was the same with soccer that I had with ultimate. It was a "ball".... I can't believe I just wrote that.
We we got done with some soccer we played a new one for me, soccer-tennis, which well you can imagine what it was. It was 2 on 2 and we were doing bad at first and then I realised I was ball hogging and trying to pull off cool moves and such because I was angry about not trying out and I wanted to show that I could play well, and some of them worked, but most of them didn't.
Anyway, ball goes up in air, I jump and head-butt it in my teammates position where he kicks it over the net and we scored. Then it was like some cliche sports movie all of a sudden. It made sense, teamwork. I even said "I think I just learned a valuable lesson.." and we both said "teamwork!" at the same time and laughed, but I actually did learn something tonight.... it was pretty much awesome

but in the gaming scene

in this corner we have of course GEARS OF WAR 2 - which I have not played yet.
and in this corner we have LEFT 4 DEAD - Demo was fun but game looks repetitive, still looks like Valve still has great talent though.
and so I guess the other corner is MIRRORS EDGE - once again I've only played the demo and looks promising.
and the last corner of the square has...... THE NEW XBOX EXPERIANCE UPDATE - Personally I like the avatar system. It seems to fits better and hopefully they will have more cloths to download soon cause so far there are not that many good picks. It closely resembles the Mii system but they both have their strong points.

In other OTHER news On 30 Rock tonight there was a cameo from my favorite movie CLOVERFIELD. Go watch it on NBC rewind.

well thats it for now. now go do something you.

and I got my xbox back

well ill make due....

2008-10-30T19:31:00.000-07:00

well if the last video wasn't clear I got the red ring of death on my 360....

.... in other news Fallout 3 and Farcry 2 (on PC duh) = amazing.

the huge area that you get to explore in both is amazing. Gameplay is quite awesome too.

No way I could have this luck

2008-10-21T21:40:00.000-07:00

I almost beat Dead Space

Crysis Warhead, Doom 3 and Expansion Pack, Dead Space

2008-10-13T20:42:00.000-07:00

Finally got and beat Crysis Warhead two hours, but they were two hours of awsome. Its more optomized to me. I can run it at max with only small amounts of lag. Im onto the Doom 3 Expansion Pack, its not that scary. Dead Space comes out tommorow as far as I know. Looks to be extreamly awsome. and well, short post. Have a Good Night.

I can't think of a name for this post.....

2008-10-05T18:08:00.000-07:00

I was roaming through the halls Thursday or Friday when I saw two Hispanic people walking towards me speaking in Spanish. I immediately thought about my previous post. I wondered what they would do. They just kept speaking Spanish. As soon as they got far enough away I started to laugh cause it was just coincidental with my previous post that another similar event should happen the next day.

My iPhone is taking forever to unlock, activate, and jailbreak itself.

And I'm failing Spanish

Next week and Culture disscusion

2008-10-02T19:26:00.001-07:00

I never looked forward to next week more than this one. It will be a normal week with a football game on FRIDAY, not TUESDAY where you get home past 12: 30 on a school night, not SATURDAY where it ruins your weekend. Oh by the way I don't like...

DUMB PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAN FOOTBALL GAMES INTELLIGENTLY

well then back to normal issues..

Computer science is a pretty awesome class for a nerdy person like me, (but like I said if you saw me just walking down the street or at the mall with Friends you would not think I'm so into Computers and Technology), It feels good to know most of the stuff the teacher is talking about before she teaches you about it. But man there's still a lot to learn.
I was browsing through my Student files while we had some free time in class and brought up all my web sites from web mastering last year. They actually put one of our sites up on the school site for free. The link is here, well no its not.... I can't find it but when I do i'll put it up. I'll also put in the places to visit box. I know its completely terrible but I wasn't there to work on it that long and really wanted to put more work into it but WYSIWYG! lol. Sorry for that outburst.

I just watched the vice presidential debate and actually found it really interesting. It really encouraged me to vote, when I can at next election. Sarah and Joe really had some good points against each other. Sometimes they would make the funniest faces when the other said something they didn't like.

Now for the culture thing.... I gave someone a ride home today. As we walked to my car he called his mother and backed away so I couldn't hear him completely. He was speaking in Spanish, and we all know he is Spanish. I think that's something to be proud of. You should be proud of you cultural background. I mean he could of had complete different reason for doing this but your in America. You can speak whatever language you should want and not have to be looked down on for having a different background than others. don't get me wrong, we all need to be able to communicate with each other and know whats going on, but speak out whatever your language is. We don't need any more culture clash.

I need to hurry up and get Crysis: Warhead

Anyone know how to make a hard drive explode using Thermite?

Sigh, Sleep, Wake up, Go to School.....

WHOA!

2008-09-29T20:22:00.000-07:00

My post about the Hurricane is missing. That makes me MAD.

IKE hit this area real bad. My car has a whole bunch of dents. So much destruction, looks like a nuke went off. My house is okay though.

So much missed school. We had test the first day back.

We've only had ten days of school and we should of had thirty.

I don't know where I should go to college

please help

I honestly have no clue where any of that just came from. I was totaly gonna talk about something else.......

Well anyway I just beat Doom 3 and just started its exspansion pack. It wasnt that scary but it did indeed have its awsome moments.

Spore is fun as long as you keep in mind that that is not how the universe happened. Every time I fly off my planet I get attacked by the freakin Chibby Empire.... The need to be sucked into a black hole........ Or just have their planet destroyed.

I really need to get Crysis: Warhead but theres no way im gonna buy it off Steam. A 15 GB download with my connection? No way, but then again all the other games ive bought off Steam havent takin too long.

Wow this is a realy long post.

I need to get some pictures up

I learning to program in Java

I need to learn to program in LUA for garrysmod

Quarintine may be the next best thing to Cloverfield

Lots of new iPods

Iron Man is overrated

I want a delicous Baked Potato

By the way, I think im insane.

Heroes and Chuck have started again and so has The Office

Eagle Eye was a awsome movie that has something in common with Portal ( The night at the movies was very interesting..... )

And now its time for bed

First Day At School.....

2008-08-26T05:37:00.000-07:00

...... was yesterday, and it was actually pretty cool. Video tech and Computer science are gonna be the best classes.

also

2008-08-20T21:29:00.000-07:00

I'm gonna try and finish a flash animation I thought of a long time ago and see if I can get it finished. All my other projects are coming along nicely too. I'm just so freakin busy.

Just a neat thought

2008-08-20T19:41:00.000-07:00

The other day on our church youth trip, we were looking for a place to eat and I noticed something kinda cool.
"Back in the day" people would eat at a restaurant because it had air conditioning. Now we eat at a restaurant because it has free wi-fi.
I just thought that was something cool to think about. Sorry I've been neglecting the blog. When School starts monday I'll try to get back into the cycle of a Post-a-Day.
I've gotten some awsome games lately, Gears of War (360), Bioshock (PC), and Crysis (PC), and they are all awsome. The PC games have extreamly good graphics, especaily Crysis. The only problem with Crysis is I can only play twenty to thirty mins at max settings at a time before my CPU starts to overheat and start beeping all over the place. (If anyone knows a cheep cooling system, my cooling system is pretty old compared to the rest of the computer). I like the Crysis and Bioshock a bit more in Gears though. More details soon. really sleepy.

ahhh off again.

2008-07-27T19:35:00.000-07:00

I got an iPhone last week since their going like crazy off ebay. I finally got my PSP hacked and now runs homebrew and custom themes. And Best of all last week at M-Fuge in Nashvile which is one of many youth church camps . I Got Saved!

When I was about 6 or 7 I walked down to the front of our church and got "saved" but the truth was that I didn't know what I was doing. I just walked up to the front and talked to the preacher because I saw someone do this the weeks before me. I always had this almost physical
pain in my chest when I talked about God or Jesus or even when I said I was a Christain, so last week after one of our church group devotions (which were amazing). I talked with with my youth pastor and we talked till almost twelve and now im a christian!`

Capture Device

2008-07-06T11:52:00.000-07:00

Well in the past couple of weeks I've bought Battlefield: Bad Company , GTA IV (which is just amazing) and Pinnacle Studio Movie Box which even came with a Green screen. So Now I can record Xbox Gameplay and even try at making a machinama. But then again I was already working on one using Gmod so.... Oh well. I hope I can get some work up soon for you all to see soon. And have any of you herd the current rumor about the Portal sequel?

GAMING COMPUTER!

2008-06-16T02:11:00.000-07:00

Well the guy I sold my golf cart to has a son whose into gaming computers and all and he just gave me one with a 300GB hard drive 4 GB Ram. I cant remember what Nvidia type Graphics card it is but anyway it works great. My steam ID is : Supercrazyinsane. But man the computer gaming world is much more vicious than Xbox Live is. People arn't (yes I said arn't) as co-operative and as easy to get along with as Xbox Live people are.

And How bout that new iPhone?

School, Gaming Computers, Golf carts and more!

2008-06-09T12:52:00.000-07:00

Wow. I just got out of school, well last Thursday I got out of school. Now I'll have enough time to work on my Half-Life mod. But anyway I finally sold my golf cart and got $1400 for it so now I can build a decent gaming computer. And today the new 3G iPhone came out. Wonder if it will be jailbroken easily?

yay. schools almost over

2008-05-28T20:26:00.000-07:00

Schools out for me on June 5th. This has been the hardest grade wise school year ever but it's finally almost over. I'm going to England to vist relatives, colorado to go rock climbing, and New York city ( and if I get lucky I might see the Cloverfield Monster). And if I'm REALLY lucky i'll find some time to finally make that gaming computer i've wanted to make for the last eight months and buy that junk 360 to hack with. Gosh it's gonna be a busy summer. I need to make some more movies too and need to get in the habit of posting more often.

what the heck

2008-05-15T20:48:00.000-07:00

I was in my bathroom still figuring out this blog thing when out of the blue a wasp came flying at me. I've no clue how it got there but dang it chased me . I filmed some of it but I'll have to upload it later cause it's kinda late and I haven't been to bed before midnight in a long time.

this is fun

2008-05-14T20:14:00.000-07:00
