Now for a video game post.

Last night I was accepted into the Resistance 2 Public Beta, and having never played the first one except in demo form (it was eh), this is a really, really fun game. Almost fun enough to justify a purchase. It's fast paced multiplayer, almost similar to Unreal. Unfortunately, the ranking didn't work, at least not for me. Which sucks, I got like three badges, and a shitton of XP.

I'm also decent at it. Which is a plus.



Littlebigplanet, is going to be fucking AMAZING. Total custom stage control, and being able to bring three friends into it? HOLYYYY SHIIITT. Sign me up.

Heads pounding, I guess that means I need to sleep. More tomorrow, if I get to it.

Feels like I'm going to a hoedown...

Each time I listen to either Cassadaga or Conor Oberst (this is Bright Eyes related if you hadn't noticed at this point), his new stuff seems, I don't know, more country/folk orientated? Listen to "I Don't Wanna Die" from the Conor Oberst album, or "Four Winds" from Cassadaga. Both are really good songs, but they sound like I'm about to fucking square dance. And that's not a bad thing, I just wanted to point out how much of a different direction he seems to be going in lately. Listen to Lifed or Wide Awake, then listen to the two albums I mentioned earlier. DIFFERENT, HUH?

I'm not trying to point out how bad it is, in fact I LOVE it, I just noticed that a lot of things he's been doing is country/folk orientated.

To My Friends:

There are some of you who this post doesn't apply to (if that made sense). And there are some who will probably never read this. But, look, there are a few of you who over my high school career, I have done so much for you. Now each time I try to message you, or try to talk to you, you do not want anything to do with me. And it seems that now that high school is over with, and so is our friendship. If that's how you want it, great. Let me know. If not, quit ignoring me.

I understand that this post is rather, I don't know, personal? But I'm trying to call you guys out and trying to see what is up. Maybe this is a classic example of the line, "you'll really find out who your friends are after high school". Or maybe this was just me getting used (huh! imagine THAT...) by my so called, "friends".

So if you happen to read this (maybe I'll post this on MySpace...where it belongs), let me know. I'm not expecting to be your "BFF" or anything, just quit ignoring me and acting awkwardly in public if we see each other accidentally.

Then, there are some of you, who really want to talk to me, yet 80% of the time I try to talk to you via message on MySpace or text, you NEVER respond. What's the point in that?

But anyways. Let me know what's going on guys.

Chinese Democracy is STILL not out!

I posted a blog back in February I think, talking about this album having problems and may never see the light of day. WELL. The light of day MAY finally be here. November 21st is the supposed release date, and it's a BEST BUY exclusive. There's a tracklisting and everything! THIS MAY ACTUALLY HAPPEN!! THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST CD TO EVER EVER EVER COME OUT EVER RIGHT!?!?!

Wrong. Oh so wrong:



This sounds like some fucking nu-metal garbage crossed with Rob Zombie (I feel bad for that guy, that some washed up Cabbage Patch Man is making a mockery of his music). But on the other hand, this is fucking funny. All of those rednecks who swear by G'n'R are going to shit themselves after they hear this. The album that has been in the making for about ten or so years is going to be a fucking FLOP.

Oh Axel. Pooor poooor guy. Call it quits after this.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic "3 through 12+" announced.

So the worst kept secret in gaming history has FINALLY, after what, TWO years, been confirmed. A PC MMORPG set 300 years after the events of KOTOR 2, and having more story than all the Bioware games PUT TOGETHER. Me likey.



They're doing this type of graphical style, so it'll run better on shittier systems. So far, they're going to release it for PC only, but they're thinking about bringing it to the systems.

Regardless of whatever they do, this is my most hyped game, EVER. The original Knights of the Old Republic basically made me the rabid Star Wars buff that I am today. The second one was good, but not as good. So expect to see me online with this thing when it comes out (in like three years)!

Updating about every day now.

At least I'll try. Quick update for me.

-Attending Miami Jacobs Career College in Springboro for Information Systems.
-Not really doing anything musically. I had this big old top secret project I was working on, but I never have time or the motivation to do it.
-Sarah and I are still together.
-I work in the Produce department at Marsh now. Basically, I hate it.
-I'm poor. I pay 387.77 a month for school.

That's about it.
