Returning to Ohio in T-minus 4 days!

Just got home from work, and it hit me that I shall be returning to the homeland soon. It will be glorious! I hope to take pictures that I can post up here. Im really looking forward to seeing my family and my dogs!(not to mention xmas presents!). Hopefully me, my cousin and uncle can get some LAN action going on. See you all soon family!

What is wrong with all of you?

This is going to be TF2 related entry, so If you aren't into this game(WHICH YOU SHOULD BE) scamper off.

Today, after much anticipation a new post was delivered onto the TF2 blog. Of course this post regarded the demoman's new unlocks where news was posted of him receiving a new shield and sword. Of course, people had a problem with this, people have always had a problem with every update. But Its gotten to the point where I feel like I need to rant about it.
Upon purchasing TF2, be it by istelf or in the orange box, online or in store. You are guaranteed only a few thing's . That you will get to play the game, for however as long as you like, and whenever you'd like to. Also that you would get technical support If you would ever to fall upon an issue. Basically, you are guaranteed that it will work. Now, people somehow, even when realizing this. Still find a reason to complain. They have problems with the new unlocks, valve has provided for them, they dont like it. They feel cheated. Well, let me ask you something. Does valve have to do this? Are you paying for this update? Is this update unfair? No. No. and No. Valve is one of the greatest companies when talking about DLC, when they make unlocks for you to have they do it for one reason and that is for the fans! You are not paying for this content, there is no expense to be had when downloading this! It is all free, and they test and test and test so it is not only new and refreshing content but balanced and fair when fighting among other classes. Valve is one of the most revered and greatest game developers of all time, working and working just so that you get the most out of their creation. They owe nothing to you, dont complain about a free service because that, well just makes you look like a self righteous bastard. Because the only thing you deserve is the game you paid for, nothing more nothing less.

Its been a while!

Hey! If you are reading this then you either
1. Care about my views and opinions
2. Found it by mistake and probably aren't going to read past this point.

Well Ive been busy, failing school and what not. So I thought today would be a perfect day to update what has been going on in my life. First off I would just like to say that today was the greatest day in a while. It rained, me and my friend Jon hung out and met a renown Sci-Fi author. We were looking at games and chatting in Fry's before heading to In&Out and a man that looked to be about fifty asked us what game he should get for him and his son to play since he enjoyed this other RTS a lot. He said that he was a Sci-Fi novelist and was interested in such. So after telling him about Starcraft, Dawn of War II and Supreme Commander he revealed to us that he was David Brin the author of "The Postman", a Sci-Fi book that was adapted into a movie featuring Kevin Costner. I MET A FAMOUS PERSON!
I have also obtained a Job at Spencer's Gifts that I have been working at for about two and a half months. Speaking of my job, today's experience was only improved when I come to find I had 200 dollars on my work issued debit card(instead of a paycheck). Yesterday the new TF2 update was announced. An update in which Demomen and Soldiers are pitted against each-other. Whoever gets the most kill against the other by the end of the update gets a fourth item to be obtained by you, the player. At first I was angry about this decision by valve, mostly because every server I was on was mainly Demomen and Soldier played. It is pretty much spam fortress 2 now. It will be for a while too, but eventually the classes will get balanced again about a few weeks after the update. The only thing that remains is the engineer. I am also excited to see another "Meet the *blank*" video. Im hoping for Pyro this time. I am also officially 17 years old as of December Second as of December second. Yay for Rated M games and Rated R movies! Next up, cigarettes, porn, taxes and soon to follow: Alcohol. Also I am going to attempt video blogging again soon. But this time, editing, scripts and a good quality camera. Also, new reviews and best of all, brand new updates!

Cya next time!

Cirque Du Freak Movie

At first I was excited about it but after watching the trailer I realized they are making it a stupid comedy oriented piece of garbage. They are going to ruin a perfectly good book series..they could have left it to the books, but NO! They just had to go and fuck it up. Hollywood is on my last nerve. If you want to read something great, pick up the Cirque Du Freak book series by Darren Shan. Great books. Here is the trailer and the book set.

What do you get when you cross R&B with down syndrome?

Hanging out in my uncle Bob's basement right now along with my cousin Kyle. Last night we had a major Warcraft 3 lan along with Jesse, Bobs long time friend until 6am. Currently I am posting from Windows 7, I just installed it on my computer after being fed up with Vista. But enough, of that. Try watching this "music" video, without laughing.

ENOUGH HALO!

Lets see,
Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo ODST and Halo Reach.

With a future Anime series.

Fuck all of this shit, will Bungie ever release something that doesn't suck? Something not Halo? Im tired of all this shitty FPS and Failure attempt at a console RTS.

I feel that Bungie should go back to their PC roots. Halo 1 and 2 were good, but 3 and beyond is just too much for a franchise.Its a good thing Reach will be Bungies last Halo game because, I really wanted Bungie to release something that Isn't related to Halo, and gets a primary PC release.

The
Anime series Im a little unsure about, as Ive always been interested in the Halo storyline and think that the Master Chief would be much better portrayed in animation rather than trailers and cut scenes.

Comicon and Alaska pictures up soon.

Kinda Bummed, Kinda Not

Tomorrow, I head on the plane to Alaska for a canoe trip. This will be my second time In Alaska canoeing a large distance, on my way to the final destination I will ride through semi rapids, see bears, see beavers, fish, camp and swim. But Back in the home land (California) something is going on that I will miss the majority of. Comicon the Annual convention held every summer in San Diego. The mother of my best friend(one of my best friends) Travis got us 4 day passes some time ago(6 months to be exact), I have been looking forward to going the entire year. Every day exited to browse the convention center with Sierra,Chloe(Who will be cosplaying Haruhi characters) and Travis. Then some time after I got the tickets my dad asked me If I wanted to go to Alaska again this year, I said okay not knowing the exact dates. Well as it turns out I get back from Alaska late on the 24th missing the opening day and the second day. Now I may be exaggerating but I really did have it planned out the whole year. I would just fantasize me and my friends walking down the halls, getting autographs then heading back to the hotel and having fun time overall. But even though the Alaska trip is bound to be fun, It kind of did intrude into my plans and I wish I would've checked the dates before I agreed. Next year, I will be sure to do that. Then again, not very many people get to choose between going to Alaska, and going to Comicon. Ill be sure to post pictures when I get back, now Im off to look for my "probably gone for good" zune.
