Long Time but I'm back!

Hello, I know its been such a long time since my last post however there have been a lot of things going on with me, one of which was me being ill for the past 4 days or so. Anywho just wanted to get the ball rolling again with another post and what I am thinking and doing right now.

I am back at college, which for me is Bryant University and I restart classes as of tomorrow. I am very happy to be back especially with new classes on the horizon however, I do have one problem with my college right now.

That is my xbox 360 won't work on the school network, because over break i had to get a new 360 thanks to the red ring and now I have to register the new console with the campus. This sucks in quite a few ways but for me just wanting to play a little halo tonight it makes me frustrated. I assume I will be back online tomorrow however, I think the school should be more focused on returning students wishes then me getting pushed aside even though I sent an email to those who could help me while they were still working today.

So that is my trouble as of now and I can't wait to get back to gaming especially since i haven't played anything really since friday thanks to my illness. Here is to more posts down the road... As always arrivederci and see you in the promise land.

Halo Hanging With Friends and The Fifth Element

Hey just wanted to make a quick post about a few things today before I got off and went to sleep.

First off I wanted to blog about my experience with halo 3 tonight with some good friends of mine. One being Myles and the other being Marine 5 and together we played some team snipers and had a great time showing me how great halo 3 is still as a multiplayer experience over XBL.

Now I am also pretty good at halo 3 and I wanted to put my experience down on the blog. First off I am a 50 in multiple playlists on halo 3 and also I am a 48 in mlg. I have gone to one Major League Gaming event (Orlando 08) and I am hoping to play at a few events in the 2009 mlg season. I am one of the best in the state of Rhode Island and I just love halo, its the best game around.

Ok, now that I am done bragging a bit I got to hang out with my good friend today Em (short for Emily) and we had a grand old time playing lips (the greatest party game ever) and watching one of my favorite movies of all time the fifth element. If you have not seen the fifth element, its a sci-fi movie that is as corny as it is awesome. Any sci-fi fan and movie fan alike should see the movie eventually as it is such an awesome goofy movie.

Anywho I have to get some rest for tomm so as always arrivederci and see you all in the promise land.

Another quick post

As I did not post yesterday just wanted to put up a quick post of what I was up too. First off my good friend Myles came over yesterday and we went on a gamerscore rampage.

I got over 10 achievements in the game of lips which is my favorite music game released and I will profile it a bit later. I also got 2 really tough achievements in Left 4 Dead which is probably my favorite fps of the season even though the multiplayer isn't all I wanted it too be, I still find myself playing this amazing game over and over again.

Also I am planning on making this a three person blog as of soon as me and my friends try to advance this blog to be a true gaming information and blog sort of like the gamerscoreblog by Microsoft but only better.

So that is what you have to look foward to and remember lips will be profiled soon. Ok now time to go hang with another good friend of mine, as always arrivederci and see you in the promise land.

Rock Quote

As I head off for the night, I wanted to post one of my favorite rock quotes ever, when he is making fun of Booker T in 2001 on Monday Night Raw.

Rock: You walk off the bus into class, the teacher up at the chalkboard and she asks Ok class what is 2+2?... Do You Know Booker?

Rock: (putting on his best booker t voice) 2+2, yeah i know the answer to that Thomas Jefferson Sucka!

Its number 1 on the list but number 2 is pretty good too.

Arrivederci and see you in the promise land. If you smell what the rock is cooking.

Mirror's Edge

Today was a big day for me for a few reasons, one I past the 70,000 gamerscore mark which is great for me and is a large step for me towards my overall goal of 100,000 or more gamerscore by July of 09.

Besides that I also completed the storyline to Mirror's Edge today. I wanted to make note of the game Mirror's Edge because I have very mixed feelings about the game. First off the story was overall pretty good, and there were a few surprises in it that made it worth playing the game. However, there were problems with the cutscenes in the form of the dialogue, which at time was horrible. Also the gameplay in the game worked well but there was too much stopping and combat that effected the overall flow of the game. The best part of the game were the chase scenes showing the brilliance of the game but some climbing and jumping sections showed off the weaknesses of the game. Now before I finish I just want to say that Mirrors Edge is a game that should be played by every gamer as it is new and fresh in a world of games that are sequels and redone ideas.

Finally, one last note on Mirror's Edge is that the achievement Test Of Faith, which is beating the game without shooting anyone is a tough achievement that in the right context is a great idea. I am angry with the achievement however, because I went for it on my first playthrough on Normal and it made some sections very frustrating, ruining my overall experience. So my advice to you is if you go for it either do so on your second try or on easy to prevent hating this game.



<-----Test Of Faith Achievement Image Achievements such as Test Of Faith, should be looked at by developers as a good idea but it should be unattainable on the first playthrough so that achievements that make the player, play the game differently, doesn't effect the overall game experience.

Well now to do some time trials as always Arrivederci and see you guys in the promise land.

Quick Post

I am still trying to get everything working on the blog but for now I am just going to take a second to write about Goldberg. Goldberg is a wrestler unlike any other, he is a monster, and has always been a great wrestler to watch. I am bringing Goldberg up because I am watching some of his best matches ever in the WWE when he fought HHH and the Rock. Anywho his character was not used well enough in the WWE storyline, looking back and that is a shame.

Quick update on Goldberg is that he should be making his wrestling re-debut in TNA sometime soon, as he has been training and working towards making his way back into wrestling.

Well now it is time to go shovel snow as on Cape Cod we recieved quite a bit of it yesterday. I will try to fix some of the things on the blog but no promises as always Arrivederci and see you in the promise land.
