I was going to have a really long blog post about my trip to Seattle to see this, but I decided pictures are better. These pictures were taken with my camera on my phone, so they aren't that great.

When I first arrived in Washington, I took a picture of this:



After that, we stayed in a hotel (Red Lion, in Bellevue, horrible hotel) the night before the show. The next day, we went to Denny's for breakfast, and outside I noticed something across the freeway:


You may not be able to tell, but that building says "Microsoft". I just thought it would be interesting to see. Anyway, after that we decided to go to the Seattle Aquarium for a bit. Got to see some fish and Otters. I had some pictures of them, but I decided the quality wasn't good enough, instead, there's this:






After that, we went to the Space Needle (Of course!). We watched an IMAX show on Louis & Clark. Anyway, here's the Space Needle:


After all that, we went to Distant Worlds. I'm sorry, but I only took two pictures while I was there since I was too busy enjoying the music. The second picture has Nobuo Uematsu in it, but because of how quickly I took the picture he is really bright (I didn't lower the exposure on the camera). Here they are, though, for what they're worth:




I have to say, I had a great time, and the music was definitely awesome (as well as the accompanying videos that went with it). I may have more pictures and a video of the show later on, but that will be in a few days when I get around to checking. I highly recommend going, and for those of you who are thinking about it: DO IT! You will not regret it.

Now, some miscellanious pictures from the drive home.

You know there are some worlds that are greater than others. Take the World of Greatness. It is so great that nothing is greater than it.

The end.

Just kidding.

The world has many things. Chinese pinwheels, brown helicopters, purple giraffes... Sometimes even green waterlilies. What? What?

So, I was planning on playing some of my old PS1 games again, but I wasn't sure where my saves were on my 24-in-1 memory card. So, as I went through all 24 memory cards, writing everything down in a spreadsheet, I got hit with quite a bit of nostalgia as I saw saves for games I had completely forgotten about (as well as a creepy corrupted save with a skull on it). Here's the saves I found (and the creepy skull).

Feel free to share any stories of your own or maybe look through your old saves on your PS1/N64 if you want.

Now that 2008 is gone I think it's time I do my own blog about what went on my gaming world in that year. I played way too many games this year to declare any "Game of the Year", so I won't.

First I would like to say that I managed to achieve the grand goal of owning more than 200 games this year. I currently have 204 games accounted for. I may have some more lying around that I haven't added to my list, but I'd say I have just about all of them counted. Hurray for me.

So, on with it then.

I had a huge post here where I picked out some games I played this year and said some stuff, but I got tired of doing that. I was running out of things to say. So, since this is my blog, I'll do it how I want and I'm just going to list out all the games I bought (With the exception of Metroid Prime 3, which I had bought a long time ago but only played this year.) this year and I'm going to give this a rating out of five. This probably isn't a complete list of all of the games I bought this year (since I bought so many), but it's most of them.

PC X360 Nintendo PS
Samurai Warriors 2 – 4 Crackdown – 3 Metroid Prime 3 – 5 Bard's Tale – 2
Warriors Orochi – 4 Dynasty Warriors 6 – 5 Paper Mario – 4 Suikoden I – 5
Call of Duty: WaW – 4 Warriors Orochi 2 – 4 Mega Man 9 – 3 Urban Chaos: RR – 4
Dead Space – 4 The Last Remnant –3 Ninja Gaiden – 4 Final Fantasy XII – 3
Fallout 3 – 5 Grand Theft Auto IV – 4 SF2T Hyper Fighting – 3 Street Fighter Alpha 1 – 3
Mount & Blade – 3 Mirrors Edge – 3 Super Metroid – 3 Final Fantasy VII: CC – 4
Prince of Persia – 4 Fable II – 4 Animal Crossing – 3
Sins of a Solar Empire – 5 Ninja Gaiden Black – 4 Tales of Symphonia – 2
The Suffering – 4 SSF2THD Remix – 4

The Witcher – 4 Uno – 2

Left 4 Dead – 5 Geometry Wars Evolved 2 – 3

ArmA – 2 Castle Crashers – 4

Dracula Origin – 4 Soul Calibur IV – 2

Far Cry 2 – 3 Ninety Nine Nights – 3

Grid – 4 Contra – 3

Loki – 3 Braid – 5

STALKER: Clear Sky – 4 Duke Nukem 3D – 2

Unreal Tournament 3 – 1 Silent Hill Homecoming – 4


There. Feel free to ask me why I rated a specific game the way I did and I'll (maybe) answer.

Not for Everyone (X360)
The game begins with creating your character. Honestly, most of the faces seem to have been made as a joke, and they can definitely be used in that fashion. After a very simple process of getting clothing and setting your attributes, you're on your way. There is a relatively short ...

dankempster hates the "right, the latest one's just hit shelves, let's talk about when the next one's coming out" trend that has pervaded the world of video games

Pepsiman finally got around to playing that copy of Kirby 64 she bought in Tokyo. It is most certainly Kirby 64 as she remembers it.
