This post relates to: Rock Band 2, Gears of War

Hey guys, sorry I have been sort of inactive lately. School takes up quite a bit of time and any free time goes to Rock Band 2 basically. Anyway I am trying to be more active and talk on the forums and such so hopefully I can.

 

Life: So my fight with my friend is still going on, sort of, I guess? Yeah we haven’t spoken since, and I guess I am fine with it. It’s one of the most awkward situations ever. We seriously have all the same friends, go to the same places, and have the same classes. So we are always around each other, we just have this unspoken thing that we aren’t going to talk to each other. I sit at the same table as him, and we enter the same conversations with out actually directly talking to each other. Yes, it is very weird and I wish it wouldn’t be this stupid, but I have no reason to make up because I am not the one being a douche bag.

 

So two banks have tanked in one week and lucky me, my dad’s bank who he works for, is supposedly the next one to die or be bought out. That bank is Washington Mutual. It really sucks because my dad is a very hard worker and it’s a terrible circumstance that he is involved with that might get him laid off. This would probably mean that I would have to GET a job, and Christmas would suck. My house is very tense right now and my Mom is just constantly blaming the economy on Bush. I tend to stay away from politics, but I am sort of leaning towards Obama. I don’t want another “Bush” in the office and a change would be nice. Plus if McCain dies I do NOT want Pailan to be our President. She is very stupid and inexperienced. She dances around every question and isn’t very articulate. How do you even become considered to be a Vice President when you don’t know what the Bush Doctrine is? Enough of my politic bullshit.

 

Games: Rock Band 2 came out and I am in heaven. I loved Rock Band 1 and the second iteration is no different. I have probably already played about 15 hours and it is so fun. The set list is awesome. It has a bunch of songs that I don’t know by name, but when I hear the song, I’m like “Oh I Know This Song!!!!” It keeps happening and its really cool. All the new features are appreciated and fun. I still haven’t scratched the surface of the playability, so I am excited to unlock all the songs and get better. Side Note: I am ranked around 40th in the world for this Panic at the Disco Song at the moment. I don’t like the song, but I have found a great path and I can still improve. So basically that’s all I have played. I have been playing a little Gears of War (as I always do), but Rock Band 2 is sucking up my time.

 

Giantbomb: The site got a redesign (V.3) and I am loving it. The guides section is awesome considering since it seems like everyone wants to contribute including me.

 

Thanks for reading, and leave me some comments.
