I found this video on Youtube. It's of And Varipapa, probably one of the bowlers in history and the best trick shooter. If you watch the trick shots today on the PBA, he created probably 90% of them. He did the flying eagle before Chris Barnes among others too. Enjoy the video, the man's a genius. And sorry the shit quality.  
 
At about 5:20 he makes the 5-7-10 a split I have never seen picked up. It's just about as hard as a 7-10.

What is up GB "followers", well I guess that's what they call it now. I haven't been blogging much, school and work have been killing me, so I'd thought I'd spend my Sunday evening kinda updating you guys a bit. Enjoy.

I haven't played much at all. I have just been too busy. I bought Borderlands, because my Walmart didn't have Ratchet & Clank. And god damn, I am so disappointed in that game. It might be the PS3 version, but the graphics are terrible, it takes about 30 seconds for textures and color to come in. It's terrible. The guns, while designs are cool, don't have much "pow" to them. The vehicles don't even make a sound when you're driving them.... OK? To give the game some credit, killing a level 20 badass while you're a level 12 is probably the best feeling I have had this year in any game. And explosions look good. And it's not like I played it 5 mins and quit, I've

played the single-player for about 10-15 hours. I also got Uncharted 2. Very good game, I was surprised. By that I mean there was so much hype around it I just thought it would not live up to it, and it very much does. Though if the game has a down side, I think it's in its story. It's very cliche, most of the twists I saw coming.  The game does look beautiful, though I still think cell shaded or cartoony is a better look when playing a game. I'm not a fan of hyper realism when it comes to graphics. Nolan North is fucking amazing, I don't know if any of you think this, but I'd love to see him do a movie. The man has sensational talent. I also recently bought Wheelman. It was like $40 bucks at Walmart so I picked it up. It's a very good surprise. Cars look great, the car melee attacks are look great and feel great. Vin Diesel

lends his voice, as everyone knows, and it doesn't suck. He does a very nice job. I'm not very far in it, kinda just doing the story stuff now, though there is a shit load of extra missions you can do. Lastly, tomorrow I'm buying Dragon Age: Origins. My #1 most wanted game of 2009, I'm am fucking stoked. I'm hoping with that game, with it's like 500 hours of play,  I won't have to buy games for a while. Which is good because I need to save my money. 
 
 

Bowling

I know I just did two bowling updates, but somethings happened that I'd like to update on. I'm not getting a Brunswick Siege anymore. I kinda realized that I don't need another high powered ball, and I didn't want to pay it off. So I'm going with a always reliable Storm ball, Tropical Storm Red/Black. It's a very weak ball, but that's 
what I need. I could just hook the hell out of Hy-Road, but that takes some unneeded energy. On another note, I'm getting this awesome Storm Hoodie, it's really damn expensive, but I don't care. I get some discount so it'll be about $40 maybe? Anyway, I'm really excited.
 

Recap

Alright so for those you hate to read, here is a sum up of what I wrote about.
 
  • Borderlands is crap
  • Uncharted 2 is da real deal
  • Nolan North is a god
  • Wheelman is actually a good game
  • I'm getting a new bowling ball
  • I'm dropping about $40 bucks on a hoodie.
 
Sorry for the bland update. Not much has went on lately.
 
Thanks for reading,

...is the Siege by Brunswick. I have never thrown a Brunswick ball before, and I thought I should probably get on that. It will cost me about 180, though it's a $250 ball. I work at my local bowling center so I get a discount. My plans for it is to make it a weak layout, yes it's a strong ball, but I want to have a strong ball that won't completely take off on me.

Christ. I haven't done a blog for about three weeks, so why not make my newest one a bowling update. A lot has happened since my last update, hell I don't even remember when my last one was. High School bowling has started and my coach named me the team captain. This is the first year he has really had a chance to pick a team captain. The last two seniors we have had were both terrible and cocky assholes. So either way I'm happy. My average is up to 200 up, well close to it about 195 in each of my two leagues. Though I have been doing terrible here lately, just terrible ball reaction. I've been throwing my Virtual Gravity and have not been doing to well with it. Lately though I've started throwing my Hy-Road, if you can't tell by now I really like Storm products. That's definitely giving me the hook I need, but at times it's just too much. And that's how most of my equipment has been for me lately, it seems when I'm bowling bad, that's when they decide to hook. Though despite my struggles, I have bowled my first ever 700 series with a 729. Which I found out last week, that that score tied the youth series record for my local center. Which is really cool. I'm not to sure when our first match is, but I've heard it's at least by November 14th. So I'm really looking forward to doing well this year, I'd like to go to at least Semi - State and I feel like I have a great shot at beating the defending state champ (he's in our conference). Expecta update by the time of our first match.

Intro

Alright, first off by wastes I mean The Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3, as you can tell from the awesome banner. I ordered the special edition Fallout 3 from Amazon last week and it came in I think.... Wednesday? can't remember. Anyway, this isn't my first time with Fallout 3, I have played it twice before. The first time I just did the story, very little side stuff or exploring, next time I played it I did every side quest and spent over 100hrs on it. So I figured hey, why not share my third play though with the people of Giant Bomb? So as my Government teacher would say, "Sit back, relax, open up a can of Diet Cola with crinkly ice" and enjoy.

Adventures

Quests

 
It wouldn't be Fallout 3 without the wide open world. I was planing on doing this on Tuesday, but I have done so much I figured to just go ahead and do this now. The game starts you out in Vault 101, it's where you're born and learn basic things like how to use V.A.T.S and
such. From the very beginning I played as a good character, I just can't play as a bad one. One of the first missions you can do is help Butch with his mom getting attacked by radroaches, of course I helped and gained Butches awesome Tunnel Snakes jacket. Before leaving you have to talk to the Overseer, you can either murder him-Evil or you can talk it out-Good. I talked it out to get the good Karma. I'm not really a big fan of the Vault stuff in the game, it doesn't seem to work well. When you leave the Vault you will level up. I suggest you put a good amount into you're explosions skill. This will help greatly when you get to Megaton, Megaton is the first major town you will run into. It's built around a bomb. The bomb is where the explosions skill comes in. One of the side missions in the game "Power of the Atom" is located in Megaton. A 25 or higher explosion skill will allow you to defuse the bomb and make the place safe. I suggest
you do this first, it give you a home which is very useful. The second mission I would do, is the Galaxy News Radio one. In the story quest it takes you to GNR ( Galaxy News Radio), there you will meet Three Dog. He will give you info on your dad, but also give you the quest Galaxy News Radio. This mission I think is pretty important. See I really like listening to the radio in the game. When you exist the Vault, in the GNR spot you will hear mostly static. In Galaxy News Radio quest you will fix a dish that will spread GNR across the Wastes. Now I did it because I like the radio, you don't have to do it. I also did my favorite quest "Blood Ties". This deals with cannibalism, in the town of Arefu you will find the West family dead, blood drained and their son missing. This will force you to go find them, when you do you will meet with Vance. Vance is the
leader of the Family. Ian (the West's son) is there because he can't control his hunger for flesh. All you have to do is some good speech and show him the letter from his sister Lucy. That will make him come home. Now don't kill the Family. This will not please the Arefu people. But if you do you get some awesome gear.
 

Other Adventures

For the most part I haven't done much wandering. Which is terrible! For some reason I told myself I had to do those quests listed above, first. I've tried to stay south on the map to stay away from the really tough enemies for now. I'm only a level 8 so I'm not that high up there. Next blog I'll try to fill this one up more then the Quests part. I need to start wandering! 
 

Conclusion

Well there's the end of this one. Sorry if this isn't perfect, it's just the first one. I'll try to do one next week maybe. I've found out if you wait too tong then you have to write to much. So part 1 is in the bag. Please give input, this blog could be better. 
 

Total time of play:

8hrs
