Been enjoying Modern Warfare 2. Life is good, school is very good, school is very expesnive. Just trying to stay creative, and playing video games more will perhaps help with that. 
 
Miss you guys a lot. The crew, all of ya'll. Just saying wassup and checking on how things have been. 
 
Side notes: 
 
Wished I played through Mass Effect 1 because II looks awesome. 
 
Heard Bioshock 2 isn't as good as the original was, as far as initial impact and engrossment. Should I still buy? 
 
Anyone enjoyed Bayonetta? I was watching that game for a while and forgot about it's January release. 
 
Hope you didn't forget about me. 
 
Much love. -Ish =)

 Pratt Institute/Freshman "Foundation" Year/08-31-09

So yesterday was my first day of classes. Light and Colour design. Went fairly well. Looking at how it all pans out, it's a 6 hour class. But I'm used to being in one class for a long period, used to be 2 now it's 3. Did some basic exercises with red, blue and yellow colored pencils, nothing out of the ordinary. I look forward to this class as I want to get better with colour, but it requires me buying more supplies. Acrylics, a lot of traditional materials I never used much. Remember, I never attended an all around art high school. However, I should look at it as part of this investment for my education and it'll be nice to have the space to work with other mediums like painting (although I hate painting).  
 
How'd your first days go?   

So in about a half an hour, I will be at a Gamestop with two of my dad's friends on 7th Ave. in Brooklyn, NY. The occasion? To attend a game launch, my first one at that. Game of the occasion? Madden NFL 10. Yeah, I sucummbed to the Madden hype, but I've never been so excited about any year's Madden more than this one. The demo was great, and I can't wait to get my hands on the full release. Even with rainy weather this should be a fun night. Hopefully I can twitter some of what's going on and stuff. I'll be sure to take pictures. I've been waiting to do one of these for the longest. Should be a blast. 
  
To get a discussion going, what game/system launches have any of you attended? What was the experience like?

ALERT! Spoiler Level: Wait...didn't all of you play through it already? :P 
 
Where the hell is "The Family"?! I've searched the spots northeast of Arefu at night; the Hideaway, the outdoor cinema, and Seneca Station. No sign of them, just random raiders and Rad Scorpions (which might I add take a while to kill). This is the sidequest where you deliver a message to the West family. But I have to find The Family first. Anyone remembers where they are?

These new screenshots for Max Payne 3 are peculiarly intriguing. The setting is certainly not New York, and Max looks like he should be a Left 4 Dead character. Regardless of the "drastic changes" that Kotaku's Michael McWhertor states in the site's press relase of the screens, they certainly have peaked my interest for Payne's third adventure. I was always wondering in the back of my mind when Rockstar would begin shedding light on this sequel. For me, Max Payne 3 has had the same size of a question mark as Alan Wake. With both games getting coverage now, I'm more excited. Maxy Payne 2 was one of my favorite games back in...what was that, 04? The PC version was great and it ran smoothly on my super buggy machine at the time. That's probably why I liked it so much. And now, seeing how bullet time will work with Max's beer gut should be fun to watch. Hehe.

Aside from coming across that, I finished Uncharted if I didn't already announce that, and now I'm making my way through Heavenly Sword. Yes, the summer's epic backlog is beginning. I'm sure I won't beat every game, but it always feels good when you finish any of them. And Heavenly Sword is super short, so I should be done with it by the weekend most likely.

Hope to do an I4I this week, catch you guys later. Peace.

My PC crashed while I was typing a blog of E3 impressions. Teh SUCK! On the bright side, it's forcing me to do a vlog since I am not going to type all of that stuff up again. So yes, I4I later on. Stay tuned. :)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
My goodness, their new material is wonderful. Friggin' wonderful!

I would give some Lost & Damned impressions but I'm winding down with some FFIV for the DS. Gamefly sent it to me when I didn't want them to necessarily, so I just bought it. Another RPG I won't finish till...whenever I finish it.

Just checking in, see ya later.
