Hey guys today is my 99th blog... which means that my next blog will be amazing!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!!! :D

Well I toldyou how I got into a fight with this really stupid kid in my school. Well today he came up to me and said "Dude, your pretty decent" and he gave me a quick hand shake and left. So I guess it was a happy ending for me!!!

Also I bought the Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3!!!!! :D

Here are my impressions for tthe three maps:

All three maps are some of the best level design maps in Halo 3.

Standoff:

The best way to describe this map is the closest we will probablyever get to a Blood Gulch/Coagulation.

The map has two bases a couple of landing pads in a desert themed area.

This is my favorite map because this map gives everyone a chance at winning. There are no snipe rrifles on the original map so it is safe to yank out turrets and run into the middle of the field without a care. Though everyone should fear the fact that there is a rocket at both bases and a Spartan Laser in the center of the map.

This is the best team based map I have ever played on, next to Valhalla. The only reason Valhala is better is because it is bigger. This is a smaller scaled Valhahla.

This map is my favorite of the three.

Foundry:

This map is built and designed for forge and only forge.

Bungie didn't realize when building this that this map is the best paintball arena ever!!!

Also this map is incredibly old school with the boxes everywhere and the tight corners and stuff. This map is a lot of fun because if you just randomly throw grenades around corners you score easy double kills and betrayals.

When playing on this map the Grav. lift is your best friend. If you have a sniper the best thing to do is to use the Grav. Lift to launch yourself to the highest box and snipe every enemy you see... and you see all of them from that point.

This map barely becomes my second favorite map because of the old schoolness and the strategy it requires to win.

Rats Nest:

This map is huge and awesome.

This is the map where it is best to get a vehicle.I have only played on this map once, but from what I have played This map is awesome. Thhis is basically a nascar circuit with a giant battle field in the center. In this map the bases actually do make a difference. One base allows you to have the high ground with the sniper, a warthog, and two mongooses. The other base you have the low ground with a warthog, two mongooses, and a ghost. Also you are near a sniper and a rocket.

This ap requires a lot of strategy.

The reason this map is my third favorite is because I had a frustrating first game with half my team dropping out on me and I have only played here once.

The map is still fun nonetheless.

Overall:

The map pack isn't worth the 800 microsoft points. It should be more like 500. Nonetheless I am happy with what I have bought and I reccomend it to everyone.

See you later!!!

Be sure to be here for my 100th blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay when I tell you this story I stripped it down a lot so that it can be read by kids under 18. :P Even though they should get an ideea of what was really happening.

Today in school I got into a fight with this stupid kid.

So today during Spanish there is this "class clown" like kid who nobody likes.He is a senior who is in a beginning Spanish class because he failed 3 times already.

So he comes up to me today and starts talking. I obviously don't care about what he has to say because he is stupid and I know that it was probably something having to do with my mom or along those lines.

Well he gets angry at me. So then he starts insulting me and saying some stupid stuff. After what felt like hours I finally snapped.

I told him in a calm voice"Hey, if I gave you a big mac would you please stop talking?" (Obviously I was making fun of his weight). He got even more pissed and started to say that I was going to die marrying a man and doing "it" with him." Then I said again in my calmest voice "Well you are going to die of a cardiac arrest before you even touch a girl." or (something like that). I laughed a bit here because he didn't know what a cardiac arrest was. :P

Well the argument went on until he just backed out. It felt good to make him shut up, but most people know me as the guy who is nice and kind so I felt kind of bad. I know I am going to pay tomorrow, but knowing him he is going to try to hide because the entire class heard me kill his pride.

Well I am plannig on buying Mass Effect, the Orange Box, and maybe even CoD4 or XBL gold for one year. It is my way of spoiling myself for the hard work this year.

I am so happy!!! Tommorrow is the last day of school... then WINTER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I can't wait. I am soooooo tired of staying up all night doing work for a letter on a piece of paper... :P

I have 5 As and 1 B+. Most people would be happy with this grade, but I want straight As because that would be the best present of all. :D The class I have a B+ in is AP(Advanced Placement) English. Right after Winter Break is the semester finals and I have to do well on that to raise my English grade to the A it rightfully deserves. :)

Everything else is pretty much the same.

In my track team I set a new PR(Personal Record) for the mile run: 5 minutes and 42 seconds. :D I am happy to do that.

I can't wait for tomorrow!!!!! The last day before a vacation is always the most fun!!!!!!!

EDIT: Oh yeah. And if you are wondering why my icon is still the same is because Glitchspot won't let me change it. It was a tie between "MVP" and "Mongoose Mowdown."

I want to change my user icon and I want you to choose which one you like the best!!!

For some reason I went Halo 3 themed on this one with my favorite achievments from Halo 3!!!

Marathon Man:

MVP:

Mongoose Mowdown:

Headshot Honcho:

Used Carsalesman:

Steppin' Razor:

It's all up to you!!!

Well I have not been on Gamespot for a while.

Some may think that I ditched GS like many others, but no. I decided to stay after listening to the hotspot!!! :D

I recently got Super Mario Galaxy!!!

The game is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!

At first I thought that the game was too easy, but then I went for the harder stars and then I knew I was addicted!!! The game had kept me away from Halo 3 for a while!!! That's how addicting the game was!!!

I also recently purchased some microsoft points for the Halo 3 map pack that is coming out. I personally don't like that I have to pay for it, but I miss Blood Gulch and one of those maps looks like it will bring back those memories!!!

Since I would have some extra points left over I bought Pacman!!! The game is a lot of fun and I was getting achievements without even knowing that I was.

Speaking of achievements I hit 1000 gamerpoints!!!

Can you guys reccomend me some good arcade games that I should get?

Now if you don't mind I have to go play some Super Mario Galaxy!!!

Well today at school it was pouring rain.

I really couldn't help, but enjoy it especially because of the recent wildfires. :P

Well after school I headed to my local Gamestop.

I was just browsing around when something caght my eye in the used games section.

It was Big Rigs!!!

Yes Big Rigs: Off The Road Racing was there being sold for $1.

I asked the cahier if this was worth the money and he just stared at me and blankly said "no."

I dug through my pocket and found five quarters.

For a dollar and nine cents I had just bought Big Rigs.

From what I have played this game is a waste of my computers memory.

The other truck stays in place, there are no sound effects whatsoever, there is no hit detection(so you go right through stuff, and you can leave the game completely.

One time when the race started I passed the starting line and I backed up and passed it again and I won the race!!!

On the back of the box it says if you have problems then you should visit their site. When I went to the site it says that it doesn't exist... :(

And now I am going to say right now that I can never trust Gamespot ever again.

If you don't know the news I'll make the long story short for you. Jeff was apparently fired from Gamespot because of his review for Kate and Lynch.

I don't understand how Gamespot could stoop so low...

To fire one of their best reviews for their own selfish needs. That is just pitiful.

But even if I learn to forgive Gamespot I am never buying anything from Eidos EVER again.

See you later.... and Jeff I heard ign is in need of your assistance...

Hey guys!!!

Well I have finally planeed out my final Christmas list!!!

Here it is:

Super Mario Galaxy -How do not get this as a Wii owner?

LoZ: Phantom Hourglass- This game looks amazing and has great reviews.

The Orange Box- I played Portal and TF2 and I loved this game. I have never played the Half Life series so I am going to start now.

Mass Effect- I loved KOTOR so why shouldn't I like this?

And I need most of all is lots and lots of batteries!!!

So in school my teacher wants us to do a gift exchange. Luckily, I had one of my video game friends in that class. Since there was no way of knowing which name we would be picking out of the hat we ripped our paper so we would know which one to pull. Then luckily we got each other!!! Yeah, I know that it was a sad thing, but boy was it fun to do. So I am getting him Bioshock and he is getting me The Orange Box.

And yes the max we are allowed to "spend" is $15.

So I beat Gears of War a while ago and I am too lazy to put up a review. I really liked the game. I would give it a 9.0-9.5 The only real complaint I had was with the story and length. Besides that the game is awesome.

See you later!!!

Well I hope that you guys had a happy turkey day!!!

Man the weirdest thing happened at my house. My entire family was gathering at my house this year.This year my mom was in charge of the turkey and apple pie...

Well our oven died on us about 3 hours 'till the rest of the family was coming :( :cry: :( .We knew that we were screwed unless we could think of something fast. Well then my brother decided to drive quickly over to my grandma's house so we could make it there. But she was using it for her thing. We called a couple other houses, but their ovens were all in use.

So then we went to our local Ralphs(grocery/others)and we told the people to cook it there. :P

When we came back the people were all ready there talking and playing my Wii.

The turkey was sooooooooooooo amazingly good. It was 10x better than anything that our family could have done. It was definitely worth the extra bucks :D

This will definitely be a memorable Thanksgiving.

Also I am working on my Christmas list. I have narrowed the games down to this:

Super Mario Galaxy(Wii)-Best Wii game to date

Guitar Hero 3(360)-I was waiting to see if I wanted this or Rockband and apparently this game seems a bit more of my style.

The Orange Box(360)-This game I have been wanting for a while, I played it and fell in love with Portal and Team Fortress 2 instantly.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass(DS)-By my name you should know how much I love Zelda.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare(360)-I rented this game and I beat it. I want to get this mainly for the multiplayer, but I am not sure if it is worth it if I am just getting it for the multiplayer.

Crackdown(360)-I have been wanting this game for a while. I am not sure if I want it too much anymore.

Iphone(cell/mp3)-I need a new cell phone(old one sux)and I love music. Perfect combo.

I need your help to narrow this down dramatically. I am asking for money from everyone this Christmas.

So I need you to write theseitems down in order from must buy to isn't worth the money.

Depending on how much money I get I will buy the games in order from the first to the last.

Feel free to add things that I might have forgotten. :D

See you later!!!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Halo 3!!!

This one is called "The King"!!!

This on is called "Good Times"

And this one is called "???"

If you want to see all of my pictures and films here is my bungie.net profile: ToTheXtreme320

See you later!!!

Well remember how I said that my wireless adapter would come next week?

Well it came on Friday!!!! :D

That is amazing luck. Then for some reason my adapter wouldn't connect online!!! :(

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was the first this that I said.

On Saturday I finally realized what I was doing wrong. :) And I hooked up to XBL!!!

Let me just say right now that XBL is the entire reason to owning an Xbox 360. So my gamertag was taken and I was sad. Then an inspiration hit me while I was looking at the gamertags Microsoft said was usable.

My new gamer tag is ToTheXtreme320. The gamertag is awesome imo.

Feel free to send me a friend request at ToTheXtreme320. :D

Time for some Gears of War impressions!!!

Ok let me say that I never really liked duck and cover games, but Gears of War changed thatfor me.

Ok the beginning of the game is really fun. Youare being broken out of a prison cell because you are being drafted into, not the army, but Gears.

The first act is pretty basic. It is letting you get used to the controls. It is a lot of fun. The only flaw is that they kill off two "main" characters in that level so I felt pretty weird that they killed two characters before you even got to know them.

The graphics for Gears of War are really nice. All the characters have a hilarious pesonality so that it can counter the darkness and seriousness of the game.

In act twoI had mixed reactions. In the level it is becoming night fall. In the night these crazy monster like things, nether friend nor enemy, comes out and feeds and everything you, allies, and enemies. Their only weakness is light. They can't be in light. So throughout the level you are not only fighting enemies, but you are trying to stay in the light and you are blowing up these tanks to light up the area. At first is is a lot of fun, because you feel this adrenaline rush. Then it becomes a chore...

That chore doesn't last for too long because there is a mission wjere there is a really dark alley so you go to a roof top and turn on a spotlight. Then you keep the spolight on your ally as he moves across the darkness. I wish that mission lasted a bit longer.

After that you get to drive a vehicle. The vehicle has strange controls and it has a Mario Kart Double Dash feeling when you have to switch between driver and UV light turret. It is fun at first, but once again it becomes annoying. Luckily it doesn't get annoying 'till the end so it is a lot of fun while it is fun.

So I don't bore you readers I shall end my impressions here and continue later. I am currently on the fourth act and I am enjoying the game so far.

See you later!!!

I bought a brand new wireless adapter on ebay which was supposed to have come last weekend as most of you know. Apparantly the guy "forgot" to ship it so now it was supposed to come today.

Well now because of Memorial Day(which was on Monday) the package was delayed again and is going to come next week around Thanksgiving... that is not a good sign after seeing my luck... :(

Hopefully XBL is worth the trouble. :D

Well I am almost done with Yoshis Island DS which is definitely the hardest Mario game to date imo. The review for this game will be up soon.

This is the perfect time because I am borrowing Gears of War from a friend so that should buy some time 'till the adapter comes.

I might make some impressions on the game if I feel like it. I have played the game before, but now I can go in depth.

I am also working on a christmas list.

If you guys have cheap parents or if you want more gifts take this advice which seriously works.

1. Get some really good friends that you know really well and tell them this plan.

2. You both buy each other a video game.

3. You tell the person what game you want and they should also have a game that they really want(make sure they are the same price!!!)

4. Buy them the game and then do an exchange!!!

5. Presto!!! Now you have an extra game that you technically bought for yourself because of the same price.

6. Your parents should understand and all is good.

See you later!!!
