Hello one and all gamers and other people who have reached my page, probably by mistake. I welcome you.

Today, I'd like to talk about unions. Unions, according to the dictionary, are "a number of persons, states, etc., joined or associated together for some common purpose". There are big unions, small unions, ultra unions, and the ever-popular Super Union, which is seen maybe once in a decade.

Most unions are good, but some are bad. Take, for example, the Writer's Guild of America. These people planned a conspiracy to go on strike late last year in order to halt the greatest show on television, 24, until January 2009. That is what I call a bad union. Also, teacher's unions, who are often corrupted by special interests and don't pay any attention to what is right for the students, or in some cases, even what's right for the teachers. This is one of the biggest causes of the mediocre public school system in America. That's a bad kind of union.

But, every so often, you come across a union that's not good, not bad. You just, don't care about it. You want to, but you just, don't. Case in point, unions on Gamespot. Honestly, I love the idea of unions here. It's a great idea, but it's often poorly executed. The first time I got a union invite, I thought to myself "Hey, self. Somebody took the time to invite me, they must want me there. That makes me feel fuzzy. I think I'll join".

I've joined 23 unions so far, all in the hopes of trying to find that one union that really makes me feel warm and fuzzy. None of them have, and I'm currently not active in any of them. Maybe it's because I don't play enough modern games or something, but none of them strike me as interesting, at all.

If you're a part of a union that you really like, maybe you could suggest it to me. Because now, with 23 unions I've joined with no luck, I thinkI I'm going to start declining these invites, or just ignoring them altogether, because this is getting annoying. I still like the concept of unions, so if I could find one I really like, that'd be great. But, it doesn't look like that'll happen any time soon.

So, that's it. I got Star Wars Jedi Starfighter in the mail the other day. It's really good. Next blog, or one down the road, I'll give my general thoughts on Star Wars games. I assure you it'll be a bit different from others who have spoken on the subject. Anyway, I'm gone for now. See you whenever.

I'm back. Haven't done a post in about a week, maybe longer. I've got my reasons for that and I'll talk about that in a bit. Anyway, first item on the agenda. If you haven't seen yet, I reached a new level here on Gamespot. I think I was Level 20 for like, a year (at least it felt like that). Now, I'm finally up to 21. My goal is to get to Level 24, and just stay there (because I'm such a huge fan of the show :D)

Ok, now for the point of this blog. I got RPG Maker 2 in the mail yesterday. For those of you who don't know what that is. Well, it is what it sounds like. A game where you create an RPG game. It's on the PS2. I bought it partly because it was really cheap. I found it for 5 bucks from an Amazon seller, which was less than half of the cost I've found elsewhere. Either way, it's a good deal. Also, it's from Agetec, who are the dudes responsible for bringing Fire Pro Returns to the U.S. Of course, that's not the only reason.

See, I've always been interested in the creation aspect of games. In fact, even when I was a little kid, I wondered about how they make games. It seems like magic. Well, through RPG Maker, I'm finding out a little bit about the creation of games. While it's not magic, it sure is hard work. I'm really liking this so far, though. I already have a few good ideas lined up, and I'm working on getting over the learning curve and figuring out how to do certain things. I have a feeling I'll be spending quite a long time with this game. Looks like I may have another great game on my hands.

So, basically that's the reason why I haven't done a post. I've been playing games on my free time, and I haven't really found anything to post about. Not just RPG Maker, but others as well, including Forza Motorsport, which I've also been playing a lot.

Actually, there's a funny story that goes with that. See, last month, like I said in a previous blog I got six games in the mail all at once. It was Half-Life, Red Faction 2, State of Emergency, Midway Arcade Treasures 2, The Thing, and Forza Motorsport. I played them all, at least a little bit, relatively quickly after getting them, with the exception of Forza. I procrastinated on it because, well because I've always been kind of on the fence about racing games. I've loved some and hated some. Also, I haven't really been in a "racing mood" as of late. Know what I mean?

Anyway, about a week ago, I finally sat down and took some time with Forza. And, damn, am I hitting myself for procrastinating on it. It's seriously freakin' awesome. One of the best racing games I've ever played. It takes the concept of Gran Turismo, but blows it up so it can be consumed by all racing fans, rather than just diehards. Also, it manages to be a true racing simulation that is actually fun to play, which I think is hard to come by. I've actually taken the time to learn about the adjustable car upgrades, like the gear ratios and whatnot, even though that stuff previously did nothing but put me to sleep. It actually works well in Forza. It has its flaws, but I love it. Truly brilliant game overall, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys racing games.

I also sort of forgot how amazing AKI's wrestling games were. I got a new copy of WCW vs. NWO World Tour about 2 weeks ago, and it's way better than I remember. Gamespot should be ashamed for only giving that game a 5.7. It's far better than that. I'll probably do a review on it soon.

So, that's it. I kind of rambled and got off subject a bit. Just to sum it up. I'm level 21, I've always been intrigued by the creation of games. I'm learning about it somewhat firsthand by playing RPG Maker 2. I like it so far. Forza Motorsport rocks, and so does AKI wrestling games. Yeah, that's about it. Catch you later. See ya.

Greetings. First of all I'd like to thank everyone for their comments on my last blog. I was pleasantly surprised. Although, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of comments disagreeing with me. Are people just afraid of being modded, due to Gamespot's recent "mod everything in sight" policy? I'm sure all of you who did comment were fully sincere, but I just can't shake the feeling that some people held back from commenting at all, for that reason. Well, I'd like to make a declaration here. Unless you spam, you won't be modded here. I appreciate differing opinions and healthful debate. I'm a first amendment free speech kinda guy all the way, so I won't have you modded just for disagreeing with me. Ok, moving on.

The few who did disagree with me, I'd like to address them now. omerg1993 and Altiar25 both mentioned that maybe it's time I should move on from the PS2. While I can certainly see why they feel this way, I'd like to respectfully disagree. Here's why. Just take one look at my wishlist. I just took a few minutes to get caught up on it myself. First of all, I have high standards for my wishlist, as I consider it a real point of reference for future purchases. I don't add just any game to it, every game takes some thought before I put it in there. At present, it has 249 games (keep in mind though I've been adding to it since March 2006). Of that, 139 of those are PS2 games, which a solid majority, and just under twice the size of my current PS2 collection. Compared to that, I only have 44 games in my wishlist for the Xbox, and that's the most of any other system.

The Wii, 360 and PS3 have a combined total of 18 games on my wishlist, so that should put it in perspective. It just seems ludicrous to me, to "move on" from the PS2 when I'm interested in so few games beyond the PS2. Maybe in a year or so, when the PS2 number shrinks and the next-gen numbers grow (and hopefully prices drop), I'll think about it. But for now, it's a no-brainer, I'm staying with the PS2 and continuing to get Xbox games as well.

On that subject, two more games are coming either late this week or sometime next week in the mail. Both are PS2 games. The first is Star Wars Jedi Starfighter, which is the sequel to one of my favorite (and most underrated) Star Wars game ever, Starfighter. It's been a while since I beat Starfighter, so I'm really chomping at the bit to play the sequel. I'll get my chance in a little bit, so I'm excited for that.

The second is kind of an oddball choice, but I've been wanting to play this for years too. It's RPG Maker 2. I've always been interested in the concept, but honestly I've never played RPG Maker or anything like it. I bought it because it peaked my curiosity, and whenever a game does that, it's hard not to play it. I'm looking forward to it. I'm fully prepared not to like it, but it should be interesting regardless. I wonder why Gamespot never reviewed it? Anyway, if you've played it, I'd appreciate if you shared some thoughts here to maybe give me a bit more insight on what to look forward to (though I've already read some of the user reviews here on Gamespot).

So, there you have it. Some random thoughts with no real unifying theme, which is basically what I'm all about. Oh, that reminds me. Since everyone seemed to love my Zoey 101 review, I put up a review of Spongebob Squarepants: The Battle for Bikini Bottom the other day. Check it out if you wish. I think it came out okay, but I still think I'm a crappy reviewer. Anyway, that's it. Over and out.

Well, my 70th PS2 game arrived in the mail the other day. I'm not going to talk about the game itself too much (you probably already know all about it). This'll be more a blog on the PS2 as a system.

Whenever I read a Gamespot article relating to, or even mentioning the PS2, I always check out the comments. Because, well, I enjoy it. Anyway, I'm always flabbergasted at the amount of people who call for the PS2 to be taken off the shelf. "Who cares about the PS2 anymore?", "The PS2 is dead", "The PS2 is a thing of the past, it's time to move forward". Well, those are all paraphrases, not actual quotes. But, you get the idea.

Personally, I don't understand the logic behind their thinking. Are they against good business? Because the PS2 is still keeping pace with, and in some situations outselling next-gen consoles both here in America and overseas. PS2 games are still making the sales charts, and good PS2 games are still coming out (though not quite at the rate of previous years).

Add to that, the PS2 has quite easily the best back catalog of any system I've heard of. You could argue the case for a few other systems possibly having more, but nothing after the NES in my opinion. They must want it gone because it's been around so long. But, if you ask me, before you knock it, you should stop and think. There's a reason why the PS2 has been around for so long. There's a reason that, despite being released a full year before both of its competitors, it's still outliving them both by a large margin. The PS2's age could also be considered a good thing, because it's had years and years of excellent games being released.

Which brings me to my 70th PS2 game. Technically it's not really my 70th game, because I've previously owned and/or played and beaten a few more, but just for the sake of argument, I'm calling it # 70. I think it's very fitting that the 70th game I purchased was Katamari Damacy, a game completely unlike the other games in my collection. There's no other system that I've heard of, where you can already own 69 games for it and still pick up something completely and totally unique and different from everything else. That's not the last time this will happen to me, because of the 130-someodd PS2 games still in my wishlist, there are others like that as well that are completely different from what is in my collection.

It's a true testament to how amazing the PS2 is when it comes to its library. Literally every genre is covered, multiple times over with games that are as good as anything else on any other system, in many cases better. From simple to complex, from old-school to modern, and everywhere in between. I've never played a console that satisfies all of my wants and needs as a gamer as completely as the PS2.

This isn't coming from a "Sony Fanboy" either. In fact, 9 out of 10 times, I hate what Sony puts out. And, at least at the current moment, I think the PS3 is the worst of the three next-gen systems. The point is, I'm not biased toward anything except fun, gameplay and variety. That's how I've surmised my opinions on the PS2 and all other platforms through history.

So, I will continue playing my PS2. My 70th game is not a mark of the end, more like a new beginning. I'm going to start exploring other PS2 games that are completely different, many of which I've procrastinated on playing for literally years. I'm almost turning over a new leaf in a way, but I'm still just playing games for fun. I hope you enjoy whatever you're playing too, because that's really what it's all about.

P.S.: I heart Katamari (I guess you might've seen that coming).

^^ rox.

Hey everybody. First of all, I want to thank all of you who submitted suggestions and/or completely non-related comments to my last blog. I will be forever indebted to all 6 of you. This blog has nothing to do with that stuff, though. Right now, I'd like to do something very, well, uncommon. To praise one of my favorite concepts of all time. So, you ready? Okay, dun dun duuuuuun...

Licensed games! Heck yeah, licensed games rock my socks. Think about it, you see a great movie (or TV show), and then you get to play it! What could be better?

I just got a new one the other day. It's Spongebob Squarepants: The Battle for Bikini Bottom. It rocks. I even got it for free, thanks to Goozex (If you haven't signed up on Goozex yet, please do so through my referral link: http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/join.asp?idr=586581260760 , both of us will get a free game out of the deal. [/cheapplug]) But seriously, it's a good game. I'm actually being honest. It's a platformer, and stuff.

But personally, I prefer me an action game. Like The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian. Feck yeah, this game rules. See, you get to play as The Rock, and beat people up. You do this by tapping buttons. I know, how exciting! You mash buttons, and beat people up too. Then, you also get to beat up non-human creatures. Then, near the end of the game, my favorite level: Like 75 enemies, but all of them just take two hits, and you've got this awesome sword and you just slash through them all. It's great. Then, at the very end, this asswipe takes all of your weapons away, and you have to kill him. (WARNING: THIS GAME IS CRAP, DON'T PLAY IT). Yeah, it's great.

Going back to TV games, one of the coolest games in the history of games. 24: The Game. It's a game, otherwise it wouldn't say "The Game" in the title. It's rad. There's this one minigame, where you're hacking into a computer. This little rectangle goes over a colored rectangle, and the color corresponds with one of the PS2 controller's face buttons. When that happens, you have to press the corresponding button. Repeat 50 times. Quite literally one of the best minigames in the history of minigames. There's a few other minigames like that, and then some driving (CRAP), and some shooting. Freakin' brilliant game.

Then there's Die Hard Trilogy. Man, this game, is so awesome. It's actually three games in one. First, there's a 3rd person shooter. the draw distance is like, 4 feet. There's some blood, and John McClane says "Yippie Kai Aye". In other words, it's exactly like the movie. Then, there's a light gun game, which is hectotic (hectic and chaotic). It rox. Finally, a driving game. The best part of the driving game is when you're in First person, and you run a dude over. The body and blood gets all over the windshield, and McClane uses the windshield wipers to wipe it off. I laughed when that happens. It feeds the bloodthirsty animal in me. And, as previously mentioned, is very faithful to the movie. Best game ever.

We're still getting incredible licensed games, especially today. I played Iron Man at a friend's house the other day, it's awesome (HORRIFYING).

I could go on for days just talking about all the great licensed games out there, but now I'd like to talk about the opposite end of the spectrum. Namely, when is the Halo movie comin' out? That is seriously gonna be the best movie ever. Everyone knows all the best movies are based on games, like Resident Evil Apocalypse, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, Tomb Raider, Doom, the list goes on. Halo probably won't be as good as those, but it'll still be awesum!!!!!11111

Okay, so as you can see, I'm still having trouble coming up with ideas. But that's okay, I'm taking some of your suggestions to heart. I'm sure I'll be back at my full capacity of blogorial mediocrity very soon. Catch ya' later.

Hey all. My video game brain has hit writer's block. I need ideas for blog posts. If you have any to spare, let me know. Just keep in mind, I don't own any of the next gen consoles (yet, but I have played em). If you must know where my true areas of expertise are, check my Collection. It's fully updated.

Or, if you can't think of any ideas for blogs, just say something funny. Make a joke or sommink. An idea is sure to pop in my head.

Thanks for reading.

This'll be an odd one. I've been reading a lot of posts lately asking what your "favorite game" of a certain genre or the like, but I haven't come across this yet. I thought this would be fun to ask. Are there any games that, if you had to be a harsh reviewer and criticize them, they'd probably do very poorly, but you like the game anyway? If so, what are they, and why?

I have tons of picks in this category. First that comes to mind is Cyberspeed (PS). It's not an extremely good game (I gave it a 6.2 in my review), but I liked it for various reasons. For one thing, it was the first Playstation game I ever played, so it holds that special place from a nostalgia standpoint. Also, the wacky TV commercials in it are pretty funny, and were totally new at the time.

Another one is the second Playstation game I ever played, Blazing Dragons. I love the story, the characters, the overall goofiness of the game. It's so fun from that standpoint. But, the gameplay is nothing special, and overall if I had to grade it harshly, I probably wouldn't give it a very high score. Still, one of my favorite games of all time.

Also, I dare to say, Resident Evil: Survivor. For those who haven't played this, I envy you. The first thing you'll notice, is that the voice acting is bad by RESIDENT EVIL STANDARDS. I'm dead serious. The gameplay is a bad light gun game without the light gun. The graphics were horrible for the time, the story is sub par, the characters and bland and uninteresting. Overall, easily the worst game in the Resident Evil franchise. But, for some reason, I liked it. I guess with me, it falls into the "So bad, it's good" category. It's pretty funny too. I still pop it in on occasion, just to torture myself.

Am I done? Nope. Staying on the Playstation, ECW Hardcore Revolution. Sure, it's pretty much an exact clone of Acclaim's previous WWF games, and it doesn't do the slightest bit of justice to the source material. But, the intro video is freakin' awesome, Joey Stiles does a good job on commentary, and overall the gameplay is okay. I still play it once in a blue moon.

Moving to the PS2. The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian. I liked the movie, and I was a huge fan of The Rock at the time. It was just a beat-em-up where you play as The Rock and beat the crap out of everything in sight. For this reason, I liked it. But, it sucked. The gameplay was a bland button masher, the AI was stupid, the sound was garbage, the game was filled with small glitches and annoyances. Overall, it wasn't very good. I found it to be fun, though.

Finally, 24: The Game. I'm such a huge fan of the show, that I simply HAD to play the game. Also, I got it essentially for free because I got it during a Buy 1 Get 1 Free Preowned sale at Blockbuster with Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 a while back. The gameplay was fun, but glitchy and pretty unremarkable. There was some nice variety, but none of the games within The Game really stood out on their own. The story was awesome, but it had its flaws as well. Overall, I loved it though.

In conclusion, my standards for video games are probably way too low. But, I like it that way. It allows me to enjoy games I normally wouldn't. Anyway, do have any similar feelings toward certain games?

Hey all. This'll be a short one.

One of the most intense love/hate relationships with a game I've had is with Ninja Gaiden. On one hand, I love the atmosphere, the main character, and the rewarding challenge. On the other hand, I dislike the sheer menacing difficulty of the game (the parts where the challenge is more frustrating than rewarding).

I dislike how, despite all the reviews and hype I had read, Ninja Gaiden, to me, was difficult for all the wrong reasons. While the controls were pretty much identical to Onimusha and other games I've come to know and love, they were much harder to get a handle on in Ninja Gaiden. Also, the camera angles added a lot of unnecessary challenge, and the lack of save points pissed me off to no end. Especially when I defeated an extremely tough boss that took forever for me to put down, but then I died before I could reach the next save point, and ended up back before I beat the boss.

In fact, that pissed me off so much, that I haven't played it since. That must've been at least a year ago, probably longer. I've always said I'd come back to it eventually, but I've always stopped short. I once even had the game in my Xbox at one point, but pulled it out when I changed my mind.

Now, with the release of Ninja Gaiden 2, and Ryu Hayabusa officially back in the video game headlines, I figured I'd finally take another hack at this game. I'll probably start from the beginning, considering I don't even fully remember the first few levels I got through.

So, if you've beaten the original Ninja Gaiden, I'd appreciate any helpful advice you have to offer. Even if you haven't, I'd love to know if you're rooting for me at all. Even just a little bit inside. I know I'll need every little bit of help I can get.

Since my Grand Theft Auto thoughts were pretty well-received, I figured it would be fun to do something similar for another one of my favorite franchises of all time: Metal Gear Solid.

The year was 2003. I had never played a Metal Gear game before, and frankly I didn't even know what it was at that point. One day, I was at a store, with $20 in hand. I wanted to buy a war-based game of some sort for the PS2. I was really interested in that genre, but I hadn't really owned too many games like that before. I started looking around in the "Greatest Hits" case, and I came across one game, that sounded familiar.

I couldn't put my finger on where I had heard this name before. I later found out that I had seen commercials for the game when watching WWF in late 2001. Anyway, I was curious about the game, so I asked the weird guy with the key to grab the game out of the case for me. He did. I looked at the back of the box, and it sure looked like a war game. It looked really cool, so I bought it, not having any true prior knowledge of the game I stumbled upon. Unknown to me at the time, this would be a game that would quite literally affect me forever.

When I got home, the first thing I did (as I always do when I get a new game), was frantically and excitedly run to my PS2 and pop the game in. To my surprise, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was nowhere near what I expected it to be. It was not conventional warfare, or even resembling it. Instead, it was an extremely storyline-heavy game where you, as a lone operative, are charged with sneaking around heavily armed guards, in addition to solving some simple environmental puzzles and the occasional boss fight.

At first, I was a tad disappointed that I hadn't found a true war game (At least my perceptions on what war was). However, when I actually learned what this strange game was all about, I was hooked. I immediately fell in love with the story, the characters, the gameplay and the overall concept. It was completely brilliant in my opinion, like nothing I had ever played before.

My favorite parts of the game? There were so many. Most notably the boss fights. I remembered a lot of boss fights from old 8-bit and 16-bit games I used to play a long time ago, but in terms of 3D games, I had almost never seen a true boss fight of this magnitude. Metal Gear Solid 2 was the first game I played that brought the greatness of those old 2D bosses to a fully 3D world, in the process making them even bigger, better and more memorable than before.

Another was the story. Some people were irked about the amount of story in the game, but I wasn't. I honestly couldn't get enough of the story. I was so immersed in it. There were also dozens of memorable moments in the game, almost too many to mention. Sneaking past 5000 Marines at the end of the first section of the game was really awesome. Shooting a guard in the back of the head when he's standing in front of a railing, and having him just fall over the railing. Using bait to lure guards in, and stashing their bodies out of the way when you dispatch them. The pulse-pounding sections when you're running away from guards who know where you are, and heavily outnumber you. Dressing up in an enemy's uniform and walking among them. It was simply one of the most incredible, memorable games I've ever played.

Now, of course I didn't play the original first. I wanted to after playing the second one, because I really wanted to play through the "Shadow Moses incident" that was so heavily referenced in MGS 2. Ironically, I got my chance in early 2004, when my PS2 broke down (the infamous 'disk read error'). See, I still had my original Playstation. I had enough money on hand to buy a few games, but not quite enough to buy a new PS2. I needed my game fix right away, so I decided to buy some PS1 games online. The most important of which: The original Metal Gear Solid.

At first I had trouble adapting. I missed having some of the features from MGS 2, most notably the first-person shooting. However, Metal Gear Solid was still an incredible game, and stands today as one of my favorite PS1 games ever.

Later that year, I heard that Metal Gear Solid 3 was coming out. I didn't buy the game right when it came out. However, I did buy the Playstation Magazine with a demo of MGS 3 (one of the few game magazines I actually purchased, as magazines usually aren't my thing). When I got to play it, I was so excited. It was far more realistic than the previous games. I loved the Camo feature, which took the sneaking around to a new extreme. The eating animals was a bit weird, but I loved that too. The setting of the jungle threw me off at first, but when I actually played it I thought it was great. It was a pretty short demo, but it certainly whet my appetite.

A while later, I finally got the chance to play the full version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It was a lot harder than the first two games, but I loved it. The story was amazing as always, and I loved seeing the back story of many MGS characters. I hadn't (and still haven't) played the original 8-Bit Metal Gear games, so I wasn't too familiar with the story of Big Boss. I definitely enjoyed more light being shed on that as well. The boss fights were also some of the best in the series. As a whole, another one of my favorite games of all time.

Overall, Metal Gear Solid pretty much came out of nowhere to become one of my favorite games of all time. I'm not sure why I hadn't heard about it before, but I'm sure glad I found it. Well, actually, I think in a strange way it found me. In true MGS fashion, it snuck up behind me, and put me in a choke hold. It hasn't let go since. In any event, I'm sure glad it happened. I thank Hideo Kojima and all the great men and women involved with this series.

As you all know, Metal Gear Solid 4 is coming out in 12 days. I'm still not sold on the PS3 yet, but if there ever were a game to change my mind, it would be the compelling power of Metal Gear Solid 4. Until then, I'll continue enjoying games, and I hope you do too.

I've talked about this a few times before on here, but I figured I could come up with enough jokes and gags to make this interesting for an entire blog. I'd like to address a very serious (attempting to hold back a chuckle) topic here.

As some of you may know, the current President of the United States, George W. Bush, is a redneck. And, for certain reasons, such as his ignorance of the world around him, his inability to speak clearly, and an extremely unpopular war in Iraq, he is a very unpopular president. In fact, President Bush actually has a 30% approval rating, one of the worst of any sitting U.S. President in history.

And then, there's the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. This U.S. federal government agency handles the collection of federal taxes. Due to their abusive practices, the IRS also has an extremely low approval rating. I believe it's around 5%. Also, it is widely believed that the 5% who approve of the IRS is actually the bottom 5% tax bracket which, coincidentally, doesn't pay any taxes at all.

However, these two extremely unpopular forces in our nation just scored a lot of points with me. Why? Well, the U.S. economy isn't doing too well, and instead of attacking the root of the problem, they just decided to send me 300 bucks. Why? I have no idea. They expected me to put it back into the economy or something. So, I did that.

Most of it, I spent on things I really needed, like gas and repairs for my house. As for the rest? I spent it on things I really, REALLY needed. I bought video games. After all, video games are one of the single most powerful forces of Good in this world. I felt like I was supporting the good of the entire world by plopping down a few Jacksons on some games. So, bearing that in mind, here's what I bought in the last couple weeks with my Stimulus check:

PS1: Die Hard Trilogy; Driver 2.

N64: Forsaken 64

PS2: Half Life; Red Faction 2; State of Emergency (Why not?)

Xbox: Forza Motorsport; Midway Arcade Treasures 2; The Thing

So, that's a total of 9 games. Now, due to my aggressive bargain hunting, I spent only a mere $44.26 on the entire lot. So, I still have some money left over. I think I'll either save it or spend it on something else, because 9 games is enough to hold me for a little while.

President Bush and the IRS sent me this money with the goal of stimulating the economy. I'm not sure they did that, but they damn sure stimulated my game collection. So, I salute you, you ignorant, redneck, pretzel-choking, warmongering idiot President, and you corrupt, abusive money-grabbing gaggle of monkeys known as the IRS. You will always have a friend in me. Now, go die or get fired or something.

And to you, the gamers reading this post. Thanks for furthering the force of Good known as video games, and thanks for reading my blog submission. Goodnight, and enjoy games.

P.S.: I hope I wasn't too mean to Bush and the IRS. They've been talking about a second Stimulus package... (To Be Continued...???)
