Back on Gamespot

It has been quite some time (a very long time) since I have been on here. Hell, it's been a while since I've made a blog post. I would like to get on more but it just doesn't give me that old gamespot feel that I felt a long time ago. It's all good though. I hope all is well with everyone, especially with what is going on now. I'm nearing the anniversary of my mom's passing and it sucks but I'm kinda glad she is not here. She doesn't have to deal with all this bs in the world (I miss her like crazy of course). No drama or anything. I have finally gotten divorced from studying... I graduated college and got my Bachelors! On top of that, I got a better job since my last entry and I'm about to hopefully get a raise soon, I now have a nephew who is growing faster than anything, I finally got the type of motorcycle I want, and my dad got remarried to someone great. I do not see her as a stepmother but just a mother and she only sees me and my sister as daughters. Same with my now brothers. Everyone meshes well with one another and not only do my dad and her side of the family talk and get together, so does my mom's side (who my dad has always been close to) also. I think it's pretty awesome actually. There's way too much to explain but bottom line, we're all close to each other. Last but not least, I have now went back to where I started playing games which is on PC. I play both console and PC equally however. This makes me think of all these crazy "PC master race!!!" posts that I used to see on here.

Overtime, I have gained some weight. I'm just gonna say I've gained enough lol. I would state that I'm on that Kanye West workout plan but with what he has been doing in the news lately (poor guy), I'm going to skip that part. There has been some improvement and ever since I have graduated, I have finally been able to make time to workout. All of that studying was tiresome as hell. On that note, I'm going to go ahead and end this one. Love, peace, and hair grease... and stay safe from the rona.

Back Again

It's been quite a while since I've been on here. I may edit or delete this entry due to one part of this particular blog that I don't really want to be reminded of. Just giving a heads up. Anyways, from the last blog, I am doing a lot better than I was at that time. At that moment I was going through something very difficult. It's something I knew I'd face one day but not so soon. Put it this way, my mom... well... she's in a better place (my belief). I will just say that. Between that and a lot of school work, I was in a world of sh!t. I could care less about those d@mn classes and anything else to be honest. I work at a college and I am in the IT department. The Fall semester was about to start (that time of year gets BUSY). I did not want to do that and I definitely did not want to possibly have to deal with some rude student. I didn't care about that either. I'm better than before. Still have those moments but yeah. With my beliefs, I do believe that I will see her again one day (if don't act too crazy lol). Again, these are my beliefs.

A few other things have happened in the past few months. I finished my build, got my motorcycle endorsement, got a motorcycle, have 8 more classes to go for my Bachelors Degree, and I'm studying for my A+ certification at the moment. Everything is happening so fast. I went ahead and purchased all of the parts that I needed to complete my first PC build. I got to the point where I pretty much said that I might as well get everything now and then pay it off. I would buy one component, pay that off, and then turn around and drop another $300 for some other part for example and would still be in the same spot as I was before.

As for the endorsement, I just went ahead and did that to get that off of my to-do list. I wasn't planning on getting a bike that soon or anything. I was just going to have it so that way if I did ever get me a bike, I wouldn't have to fool around with that riding class or anything else. My dad pretty much pulled the trigger on everything. He did say that it wouldn't be a bad idea to get one then due to the fact that I just took that riding course and the skills/techniques I got from the course would be fresh in my head or something like that. Can't remember exactly how he said it, I'm tired at the moment. Anyways, he told me to check out some stuff and see what I could get regarding the financial side of it and whatnot. I'm still not expecting to get one nor did I plan to get one soon. Long story short, got it. I love it. Need to work on taking off but I'm pretty good with everything else. I'm gonna tell you, stalling is a complete confidence killer lol.

Next up, I only have 8 more classes and then I'm finally finished with going to school. Dude right now I'm burnt out. I am taking a little break for right now but at the same time, I'm studying for my A+ certification. I need it for this one job that I want. It's all good though.

Well, that is it for right now. Hopefully the next time I come back, it will be at a shorter time instead of months. I've seen a few folks on here who still visit gamespot. I used to come here regularly. Once they took away the badges, unions, and all that other good stuff, I pretty much left. Nah, I left. There was no "pretty much" lol. I am going to bed now.

Still Here...

From time to time anyways. It's been a while since my last blog entry. I think I might lurk in the forums for a little bit after I finish this entry. It's going to be a quick one due to me needing to take care of some other things as well. Right now, I'm going through a whole lot of crap. Don't want to disclose it but I will be able to get through it all.

Finally remembered for see E3 this year when it came on. From what I was able to catch, it wasn't bad. I will say that the biggest games that I am looking forward to is Far Cry 5 and God of War. Speaking of games in general, I used to get excited for any Gran Turismo game that was going to be released. Now, not so much. The reason why is due to the fact that my ps4 isn't compatible with my steering wheel. Sure I could play with a remote but after you use a steering wheel, you don't want to go back lol. I'm not about to drop $399 for a steering wheel and then $69 (I think) more for the shifter. Well it's actually cheaper on amazon but still. I'm not trying to spend more money on a new steering wheel when I've got one that works perfectly fine. Therefore, PC will be my go to platform for racing. As a matter of fact (pardon me for being all over the place) I'm working on building a gaming PC right now. At the moment, I'm using my current computer to run a couple of PC games. It's not a gaming PC but it works. I just have to play most games on a very low setting.

Well that's it for right now. Before I submit this, I'd like to ask how is everyone else doing?

Been a Long Time

Hello everyone, I am back. It's been quite a long time since I have been on Gamespot. I went away mainly due to the new design that they had released and I just got tired of coming here. I grew bored of it and the forums. It's been years since I've even been on here. I've graduated college since then lol. Well I just wanted to do a quick blog. I wanted to check out Gamespot and see what's up. Will be back soon. Later.

GameSpots new look...WTH???

Ooooookaaaay... I think I see why I couldn't get on not too long ago. I forgot about the changes that were being made. The new look isn't bad but... well I've just gotta get used to it. They have definitely changed the new look. As long as it's not a pain to navigate, I'm fine with it. What's your opinion about it? Oh and one more thing, when a server error popped up, it had a game you could play at the bottom. I actually fooled around with it for a minute.:P

YEEEEAH PS4 PREORDERED!!!/Game Line Up

Preordered the PS4 yesterday a few hours after GameCom. I preordered that along with Battlefield 4. I am veeeeery excited about this year. With that being said, I just saw a thread in the forums regarding what Sony announced when it came to buying PS3 games on the PlayStation Store.

I just read that if you bought a PS3 version of a game on the PS Store, lets saaaay Call of Duty Ghost, I could get it for the PS4 as well for a "significantly" reduced price. I just saw something saying it could possibly be $10 for the PS4 version. If that is in fact true, then I may buy the PS3 version on the PlayStation Store and then get the PS4 version for a total or $70. An extremely great deal considering the fact if you buy 2 different versions it'll cost you $120. 

Another reason why I am actually considering it is because of friends. I don't know if some are planning on sticking with the PS3 for a while or upgrading to the PS4. So if they don't get a PS4, I would be good because of that deal. Something like that is too hard to pass up. I know that I have complained about CoD and I still do but depending on how things are with the game, I will buy it. I'd prefer getting it on the PS4 if I did. So if it's in fact $10 for the PS4 version if you do that deal and my friends are not planning on getting a PS4, I would probably most likely go through with the deal.

WELL... with that being said, I would like to talk about the games that I have been eyeballing for a while every since I first laid eyes on the PS4 at this years E3. I'd like to haaaaave...

Those are the games that I'd really like to get, especially Battlefield 4. There's a few others out there that I'm looking at but these are the main ones. 

Well that's it for me. Gotta go study now. What next gen console are you guys getting if you're planning to buy one?

Yahoo! Users= Stupid/Ignorant?

Ok so I just turned on my computer not too long ago and I checked out one of the articles on the main page (Trayvon Related). So I read it and then after reading it, I checked out the comment section of the page like I always do with any article that interests me. I've seen some ignorant and stupid comments on there. Some made sense and some didn't. By the way, of course I'm not stating that every single Yahoo! user is stupid but it seems that a lot of them just need to stay away from a computer. I don't mind opinions but some of them are off.

I know that there are trolls, spammers, and stuff like that but I can't help but think "D*mn these are some stupid people". Look at this for example. I know that it is most definitely possible that some celebrities would use these types of situations so that way they can just be in the media and hope they get something out of it but come on, all of them? I'm not saying I think that they are doing what they are doing because of that reason or anything but how would we know what that persons reasons are? People are quick to shout "illuminati", "racist", or any other thing that is offensive/ignorant about someone (or something). 

And I'm not saying there's no possibility of a person not being that way. It is absolutely possible, but I wish that people would stop acting like we know what/how something/someone is when we don't. (by the way I'm not referring to just those types of articles)

It would be nice if people wasn't so quick to assume things and be ignorant about something. For example, I remember when I was on Gamespot one time and I was in OT. There was a thread and it included handicap parking and wheelchairs (can't remember all of it, it was long ago). I read a post that stated "Well all I see that park in the handicap spots are fat people and/or those that get out of their vehicle and look like there's nothing wrong with them." First of all, how in the hell do you (or we) know what's wrong with that person? Just because someone isn't looking like they're hurting doesn't mean that they don't have a problem. Maybe that person knows that already even though they would make that kind of statement, I don't know, I'm a little annoyed right now so pardon me.

Well that's my rant. I could write more about these types of things but I'm to lazy to do it at the moment.:P (Not speaking about Yahoo! now) I'm not going to say (and not trying to) that I haven't done that at times in general. I'm pretty sure we've all had our moments. Some are just bad with it. Anyways, whatchu think? What's your opinion on Yahoo! users and/or stuff like this in general? Feel free to share it.

Semester Is Finally Over

Yaaas!!! This semester is finally over. I'm finished with my math class (and passed it as well). I hate math so you should know how happy I am that I got that over with. :P No more setting my alarm clock early in the morning to get up and go to school. I gets to sleep in!:D I am NOT a MORNING PERSON. The only thing I like about the mornings is the breakfast.:P Well that's all I have say for that.

Peace.

Spring Break Coming/ Math is kicking my...

Spring break is coming up for me soon and boy am I excited. We get good friday off and the our Spring Break starts on Monday right after that. Ah yes I get to chill... like I usually do, play games... like I usually do, and I don't have to get up early in the morning. I am NOT A MORNING PERSON. Luckily this semester which is almost over, I only have one class to take. It's only 50 minutes long. I can do that.

The current class I am taking right now is math. Ugh I hate math. It's kicking my butt... or is it? I'm getting better with it. I still hate it but I'm doing pretty good. The thing that I do not care for the most is the word problems. Oh well but I will get passed it. When this semester is over, I will definitely miss my current teacher. She's great. And she's not a boring teacher which is something I most definitely like and she is VERY helpful.

Well that's all I have to blog about. Later.

Level 40 and more

I have finally reached level 40 here on gamespot. I don't get on gamespot as much as I used to. I used to be on here almost daily.

Another thing is that I have ordered Sleeping Dogs, some vita analog caps, and a vita skin. I can't wait for it to come in the mail. It still hasn't shipped yet and I hope that it ships soon. I played a demo of it and I liked it. Got it for $30 right before it changed back to $40-$42.

Today I had to take a test in my math class. It was easier than the last test. I think I did better than the last one and I hope I pass. Ugh I hate math. I'm doing better than before.

Well that's it for me.

Later
