Well, I was a bit stumped on what to do a new journal of, when I got to thinking "why not talk about something I enjoy?" So, I'm covering games. This year was simply spectacular for gaming so far. The release of Halo 3 ODST started it off quite well, promising a much more unique approach to Halo. Instead of playing the game as a human tank god mod you actually had to think out what you were doing, and play a bit more strategically. Cover was an option, rather than a hindrance. For racing Fans, Forza 3 was amazing, bringing a nice return to the Forza game trilogy. The game had many settings promising for many levels of gamers to be able to pick up and play the game just like anyone else. as for up and coming games, Tomorrow is the long awaited release of Modern Warfare 2, Which promises to be the best of the Call of Duty games so far. The gameplay looks amazing, and the Multiplayer looks to be just as grand as the first. Left 4 Dead 2 would be my personal favorite from the pick, Being the sequel to, in my personal opinion, one of the best survival themed action games I've ever played. The ability to change your weapons among a very much more open and selectable variety, instead of being limited to pistols, bombs, and basic/advanced weapons. New infected should make it quite a bit more of a challenge than the first as well. Well, to all you gamers out there, Happy 2009! Let's hope 2010 can bring us another great gaming year!

Yo, I'm still here! And I can probably guess that you're all wondering why I never got offline, or why my internet didn't shut down after I said it would. Well, at the last second, about a day or so before they were going to shut it down, we managed to scrape up enough money to keep the internet online, which was freaking awesome! Also, Yesterday, May 17th was my birthday (might be a lil different if you're in another time zone) and well, the party was very bizarre. My Aunt exploded in a fit of anger, and told me that she quite honestly didn't want anything to do with me, and had only came to my party because of the church. She ruined the party with nonsense equal to the raving screaming lunatics that you wouldn't expect from someone her age, but, as they say, age doesn't equal maturity. I did get a lot of cool things though. I got a Nintendo DSi, Fire Emblem, Some really comfortable new shoes, a nice set of dress clothing, $85, and my favorite movie, Sonic OVA. And sure My aunt might have crashed my party, and almost ran off all my guests, but, I guess we should just live and let be, and I'm not really mad at her. Although, thinking back on it, it was quite funny. On another note, I got a lot of inspiration, and not enough paper. A rather nice person I met on dA today gave me an inspiration boost by showing me some of their sprite works, and I'd like to thank them for that now. So, Thanks Jim-DA for the inspiration to pick up the pencil and get back to work! Well, See you all later!

Well guys, I figured I would check in and see what's up with everyone, and just well, let everyone know what's going on. As of tomorrow, My internet and Home phone service will be shut down, and therefor I will not be able to get onto dA for a few months, possibly longer, until the economy stabilizes or something. I will return when I can get it reactivated however, and I hope to see you all then. Good luck, and until next time, my fellow deviants, Goodbye.
