Yep today I turn 15 and not 17 like James thought I was. :P We will be opening presents later today and I am hopefully getting Battlefield Bad Company and Uncharted. I also really need to get some microsoft points so I can get Castle Crashers, when I do download this game it will be my first XBLA game I have purchased. It's about time! Our family is inviting the rest of the family over for dinner and of course I will be getting money from them , so the first thing I will be getting is a 12 month gold card so I can play BF BC online and then it will be Burnout Paradise and Resistance.
So today I am a year older and I really need to get some Microsoft Points to get Castle Crashers! That game looks awesome!
So this week is fair week in our town so I have been going to that everyday. Today me and this girl were walking through the stands of markets and such that people try to sell their stuff. We were walking together and we saw a movie place, so we went through and looked and we each found a movie and of course being the gentleman I am, I bought her movie as well. So the movie I got is Crank, staring Jason Stathon. It looks like a pretty good action movie, I'll go watch it after I am done typing this. The movie I bought for the girl I was with was Mean Girls. It wasn't actually as bad as I was expecting it too be. So after we bought the movies we went to her house and watched Mean Girls, then I went home.
When I got home I played Bully for 360, I am going to try and beat this game 100% and I don't have that much left to do. I did get a bunch of achievements for the game these past few days like one that was pissing me off was getting the high scores on the arcade machine games. God damn you Nutshots!! :P
Well that's about it for this blog here. Remember my birthday is in 5 days! I'll do a video of what I got on the 21st or 22nd because I'm going to be buying some games with my birthday money.
I'm going to watch the new I for an I and then Crank.
That is how long I have to wait until it is my birthday. I already made a wishlist of stuff for my parents and there are a few games on there. I will make a video on the 20th(my B-Day) to show you all what I got.
I also beat Guitar Hero Aerosmith on Expert and that game was pretty fun but really short. There's only about 35 songs. Oh well at least that achievements were easy. Also Timeshift sucks so I'm not going to play that anymore.
So I also got past 27,000 achievement points today. GH did it, but I don't know the exact number right now so just look at my profile yourself if you are interested.
So I finally finished filling out my collection here on Giant Bomb and on Gamespot. I put all the shitty PC games I have and I found a downloaded Curse of Monkey Island CD so I'll see if I can install it to my computer.
- I returned from my cousins cabin on Thursday and had a blast, toob wars was so much fun. We had 2 toobs and we were jumping on each others toobs and throwing the other cousins off. We had 2 to a toob. At night we usually played cards, a game called torrettes. The point of the game is to layout a card and whatever that card starts with you have to say a word starting with that letter. Ex. You put a 9 card out and 9 starts with N, so you have to say a word that starts with N and whoever says a word first gets that card and whoever has the most cards at the end of the deck wins! Wish I could go back to the cabin. Nice to see that family again.
- I beat Secret Agent Clank on the way back from the cabin and it was awesome, I already started my 2nd playthrough. I love the replay value these Ratchet and Clank games give you.
- A few hours ago I beat Saints Row and all I have to say for the ending is, what the fuck. But in the last mission of each gang your character talks and it's really funny what he sais.
- I started playing Ratchet and Clank Size Matters because I'm just in the R&C mood right now! It is the only R&C game I haven't beaten. I got to the last boss awhile ago but got stuck because I had no bolts so I couldn't buy any ammo so I started over and am saving my bolts. Also working on my 2nd playthrough of Tools of Destruction.
- I listend to the entire Avenged Sevenfold self titled album and it's awesome! Put both their self-titled album and City of Evil on Rock Band now!! Also watched the bonus DVD that came with it and it was pretty cool and funny. A7X is now my favorite band so I might pick up thier first 2 albums.
- The fair starts on Monday and I will be going everyday for the next week so don't expect too many things here during that time.
- After listening to this weeks Giant Bombcast I tried hemp milk and it's nasty. Don't ever drink it!
- I don't have any gold on my XBL so don't send me invites to play cause I can't.
- After the fair I will be getting Resistence if I can find it for 30$ and a secret game that I am ordering off Amazon, I will have a Da Package video whenever I get it.
- Started playing Dead Rising and I can't beat the 2nd time you face Carlito, when he has the sniper. I don't have any guns so I have to use melee.
Also, something I forgot to mention in the video is that as of monday I will be gone for the week because I am going up to my cousins cabin. They do have internet there, but the point is for family and water skiing. See ya guys next week! Online Videos by Veoh.com
Seriously though, I played the Rock Band on the drums and it was quite a workout. If you are playing are Expert like me:) then you will know what I'm talking about. The absolute coolest song to play is Working Man by Rush. It's really fast paced and the fills are awesome to play. I need to get some Microsoft points so I can get some more songs. The first thing I would get is The Who's album and then more Rush songs and the A7X tracks they released. So I should be getting a 4,000 point card for 50$ soon. I will have a lot of songs to play when I get the points. Right now I have a total of 119 songs.
Besides playing a lot of Rock Band, I have of course been playing Ratchet and Clank Future. It is a fantastic game and it still brings back characters from the first game which is really nice to see. Another thing I liked is the weapon wheel, instead of having just one wheel, they have all the wheels you will need for your guns. You can just scroll through them until you get to the one you want. It's much better then the 1 they had in the other games. You would have to pause the game and go to the weapons menu and manually select the weapon you want. Something else I noticed that was in this game was the music, it really adds a nice tone to the action and it fits perfectly with the environment your in. The game still keeps up the funny tone that you would expect from series. There is also some SIXAXIS control but that really feels like it was shoe horned in, but luckily you can turn it off if you want.
So after enjoying Ratchet and Clank for PS3 I really want to get Secret Agent Clank for the PSP. So when I go to get the Microsoft points I will also be getting Secret Agent Clank. I'm not going to play it until I'm finished with Tools of Destruction though.
Well that's it for this one!
P.S. I didn't do a video this weekend because I had my final baseball tournament and we got 3rd place just to let you know.
The ending was indeed fantastic and definitely is one of the greatest games of all time. The story was amazing throughout the whole game and so was the gameplay.
Loved it!
Oh yeah I also got Ratchet and Clank for the PS3 yesterday and it's pretty awesome. Also got over 25,000 gamerscore as well.
So I was listening to this weeks From The Bleachers and the first thing I noticed was that a question of mine was answered on the show. The question was, "What do you guy's think of advertising in sport's games." So that was pretty cool and then they got to call it picks and mine was the first one answered and I choose that the Twins will win at least 2 games this week, which was a few weeks ago and they won 3-4. So I will be getting a free sports gamer hat in the mail.
I think it's always kind of cool to get your name said in a podcast or video. Now let's just hope that my questions start getting answered in the Giant Bombcast, it's the only thing that I haven't gotten a question answered in. I have had them answered in The Hotspot, FromTheBleachers, and On The Spot.
So I am kind of excited because this will be the first thing I actually won from the internet.
Crank, staring Jason Stathon. It looks like a pretty good action movie, I'll go watch it after I am done typing this. The movie I bought for the girl I was with was Mean Girls. It wasn't actually as bad as I was expecting it too be. So after we bought the movies we went to her house and watched Mean Girls, then I went home.
See ya guys next week!
