This actually doesn't fit into my blog. But it's SportsNation, come on.
Hello my Giant Bomb friends, this is a update (as the title clearly states). Its been awhile since I have done a true update so I thought why not. I really haven't done much really, well since school started anyway. Sadly school has eaten up most of my time. As a matter of fact I'm writing this blog in the middle of doing some homework. First off I guess I'll start off with some school info. I'm a senior this year (class of 2010 represent!) and this year seems much more calm then the last three, I can't really explain it. Teachers seem to be nicer and more easy to work with. Also it helps that most of my friends are in most of my classes so that's a plus. Government is tough
Rocket Boys
though. My teacher for that class is, to be nice, strict. He expects you to be on it with reading and notes. Which the only bad thing about it is, I don't absorb info just by reading it. I need to be taught it and have it explained well to me. That's why I really like having the teacher taking notes and talking about the subject. But life isn't like that so I need to adjust. Algebra II at the moment is ok. My teacher is very good, I've had him before but he tries so hard to make sure you get the material and does a great job with notes (which I like). Current Issues is good. We basically just talk the whole period without much notes or homework. We do have to read
Rocket Boys for the class. We were originally only supposed to read it in our homeroom, but the teacher thinks it's great to read for the class. And I'm pretty surprised by it. It's a very entertaining and well written book. And for the best class of the day I get cadet teaching 4th period. I just got my teacher today and I work with one of my favorite teachers. So I'm hoping to enjoy it. That's it really for school right now. I'm hoping I don't totally freak and get nervous as I usually do.
Now onto some games I have been playing. I get Gamefly, since I don't make much money in the summer I thought it would be good to get that so that I could still play some games. I have played a lot this summer. Just on Gamefly alone I have played:
All I want is to play this game.
I believe that is it. I might be missing a few. Though I didn't enjoy or finish all of them, I enjoyed that I could at least try them. Which is my favorite thing about Gamefly. I don't know what I am getting next. I have had
Uncharted at the top of my list for about a month now and haven't gotten it yet. I'm really hoping to get
Rogue Galaxy next. That game looks great and I'm shamed that I missed it when it came out. I'm really trying to widen my gaming genres. I used to just play platformers and the occasional
AHHHHHHH!
shooter. I really want to get into RPGs or JRPGs. I like them, but never put the time into them that I should. Sadly I also played my first Online game. I have never played a game online with others before. For one reason, I never had wireless connection or anything like that. I finally got it and my first game was
Fat Princess. I really like that game, I was first introduced to it through a
Giant Bomb QL. I've gotten into some heated battles and some crappy ones that never ended. I've also played well watched some
Linger in Shadows. I liked it and reviewed it. It was a good game for $3. As for games that weren't downloadable I played some Mirror's Edge and GRID. I have to say Mirror's Edge was weird for me. I like platformers, but there was something about the running and moves that wasn't good for me. I played a lot of it but couldn't get fully into it. The voice acting seemed uninspired and lazy, but the art work was the highlight of the game to me. And the only thing I'm saying about GRID is that it continued to so me that I am racing game challenged and should never play them (cries softly).
This summer I got heavily into Wiki editing. Probably at the beginning of the summer I think I had about 200 wiki points. I'm close to 9,500 now. I really enjoy it. I have taken it upon myself to try to so the best with the bowling wikis as possible. My pride and joy is the
bowling page. I spent many hours on that. But most recently I have worked on
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time wiki page. I made the equipment section awhile ago. But I recently added some pictures to it. I worked on the
GRIN page some more and did most of the work that is up on it today. Which I'm still terribly upset they closed.
Yay, Twitter.
If you've seen my page, I'm way to into twitter for some reason. I love that damn thing. The only thing that annoys the hell out of me is the fact that you get spammers following you a lot. Which is dumb. If you'd like to follow my
here is a link to my twitter. Just click follow and I'll do the same.
Well there's a update. Nothing special. But I'm off to finish my homework. As my Government teacher says, I have to "Get in my Jeep and ride up the mountain of knowledge". Fucked up I know
Thanks for reading
