This Week in Review

It's been a while since I've posted. November 10th actually. So much has happened...not that any of it is seriously important or anything, but still.

Random things to be covered:
Scott Pilgrim
Black Ops
Modern Warfare 2
Convention
iPhone
WoW
Other nonsense

Scott Pilgrim: Best movie I've seen since the Marix. I'm also reading the manga because it's so good. As was the game for 360.

Black Ops: Worst game made on this planet. Guns don't hurt people, sniper rifles are ineffective, grenade explosions sound as if they are submerged to 100000 fathoms, and the AI is among the worst this generation.

Modern Warfare 2: Is still my shooter of choice. All my good xbox friends have returned. It's agreed amongst us that this is the superior game of the entire series. I've hit fifth prestige, and am nearing sixth.

Convention: Ohayocon 2011 was fantastic. It consisted of 3 days of drinking, dancing, and partying with some of the coolest people to ever walk this earth. Makes me sad to think of the day I won't be able to experience life like this...like who will be the first of everyone to make the change to either move away, or get married and stop communication? But, this discussion is for another paragraph.

iPhone: Was shipped to me today, but no one was there to receive it. So, tomorrow around noon, it will be dropped off and I will receive it. I've already converted all of my music to the appropriate formats on my mac, and converted all of my porn to acceptable file types for the phone.

WoW: This expansion is decent. Still the same old game though. Archaeology is homo as all hell, gearing up is just as boring as it ever was, and our first raid went so terrible I thought I had broke my mouse and effectively quit my guild. Though I like the people that I bs with in game, and I've met one of the coolest individuals on the internet through this guild, they have taught me an important lesson about raiding. There was a reason the leaders of Fallen Angels were total cock bags to us all the time: to ensure we got things done effectively and quickly. I don't think I can ever raid with a group of understanding and kind people again in my life...especially considering how boring WoW is to start with.

Other nonsense: Though this is totally unrelated to anything listed above, I usually think up random things while I'm at the gym, and considering no one I know would probably give a shit, blogger gets to hear the rants. Most people envision a future consisting of children, a white picket fence, a house, happiness through love, and all of it to fit into a perfect picture. My picture varies quite largely from this image. I envision working in a corporation in a tiny cubicle, making a good amount of money for myself, wed or unwed (which matters little unless it concerns my valuables), spending my time and money taking small vacations throughout the year to experience all the great things the world has to offer. Climb a mountain (not Everest or anything similar, but a nifty looking one), go to Italy, visit Rome, check out the paintings and other historical objects strewn across the globe...nearly anything majestic that doesn't involve water. With money being the key object to all of this.

Another side note: Please let the temperature reach 40 degrees...I'm totally cool with that. Nothing much higher though, kthnx.

Games completed: Bioshock, Ninja Gaiden II, Castlevania Lords of Shadow.
Games to get excited about: Duke Nukem Forever, Pokemon Black/White, BulletStorm, Gears of War 3.
