Reason I made this was to show people my thoughts of certain topics. I also wanted to make this just to keep me busy and post my daily life as it goes.
I had a little problem with trying to buy stuff from the zune marketplace. It doesn’t let me purchase and it has an unknown error so I googled a little and everything I clicked on had some sort of “zunes suck, get ipods” or “zunes are ugly and ipods are nicer.” I for one had an ipod nano at one point, then it broke but I got it for like $30 off of a friend, then I bought my 30gb zune off of another friend for $35 (yeah I’m lucky.) I liked both, although I liked the itunes a little more than the zune software. Zune software is nice if anything, but some things are hard to work on it.. namely the infamous songs deleting off your zune when you remove them from the zune library.
Maybe the main reason I’d take a zune is because everyone and their mom has some sort of ipod, and since I like to have some diversity in the world, it fit pretty well. I also liked the look.. something about it makes you go, “woah thats not an ipod is it?” but I got the “woah that’s fat!” with my 30 gig :/
I like that it has a more bigger screen than your normal ipod, plus you got the radio even if I don’t use it. The wireless thing is a gimmick imo since obviously not a lot of people have zunes so its hard to actually use it. The ipod will reign supreme since Apple is more of a multimedia based company compared to the Microsoft businessy feel. Another thing thats kind of lame is that the Zune doesn’t have a lot of 3rd party products, so your pretty much forced to buy their $30-40 wall charger if you need one, and the fact that not a lot of people have the Zune USB connecter makes it hard to charge it at a friends house.. but whatever it is, I <3 my Zune.
I read about the whole thing about how Twitter was pretty popular and whatnot, but I never really did look into it.. But today I did, and its pretty interesting. Its pretty much blogging… but on a micro scale as they say.. I find it fun to be able to post things with my phone on my twitter, which is also on my myspace so also a plus IMO. It sucks that no one I know knows about twitter at all, but maybe as time goes by they’ll look into it and hopefully I could be tweet’n with them too.

If you were one of those guys that followed the first fable all the way back from the first rumored announcements, you’ll know that fable was awesome sounding. When the game actually came out I was disapointed because they left out a large amount of features like how much the world is affected by your every move. Well in the real game, the world wasn’t so affected by you being really bad or good, or not the way they made it sound. Fable 2 will probably do the same. Although I haven’t looked at an ounce of information on Fable 2, I just don’t feel as if I should be really wanting it. I’m looking towards maybe Fallout 3 or Too Human in the RPG section.
I noticed in Rock Band and Guitar Hero I play with only my index, middle and ring finger, completely leaving out my pinky most of the time. The only time I really use my pinky is when I have to hit green and orange, but even then I sometimes just use my index and ring. I beat expert on Rock Band and I’m stuck on raining blood and one on expert for GH3, but I always wondered how much better I would be if I could play using my pinky. I do try to practice, but as I get into a song, I end up trying to use my pinky and ring to hit the same fret, causing me to screw up and having my fingers all confused. I don’t know anyone that plays with just 3 fingers and is exeptionally good when playing expert… but the funny thing is I use my pinky when I try to play a real guitar….. Strange IMO.
wow.. I was looking at some in-game of the new geometry wars and its amazing. Already the first one was action packed, but this one looks down right ridiculous! Whats cool now is that you can play co-op with up to 3 people and the 6 or something new modes.. I think this game is gonna be the greatest XBL arcade game since the first Geometry Wars!

Holy sheesh, if you weren’t amazed by that on ROCK BAND 2 list, then I don’t know.. This is a damn good list IMO, but We’ll have to see how Guitar Hero:World Tour will fare against this. On top of that their gonna release 20 free songs that didn’t fit in the CD AND I think most of the songs from the first Rock Band will be ported over or something. Purely WIN seriously. Just the whole AFI and Panic shit has to go… its okay, but I’d rather not want those songs on, but hell good thing you can make your own setlists.
Ahh I remember back in my Starcraft days I was very addicting to just watching pro games, and I just loved some of the songs they had on their. Ressurection by Chimaira, Wake Me Up by Zebrahead, See Who I Am by Within Temptation (which is really amazing, made me love Within Temptation after that) and a bunch more. Then I seen this song, Shriek of the Vengeance by Galneryus… now I have to say, this is a very epic song IMO. its just the way the whole song comes togeather is crazy.. its got this sweet guitar, vocals (although hes japanese, he does sing it in english) and just the whole song in general. I used to play Geometry Wars to this song (don’t laugh) but hell it got me very far.. I think thats what got my 1.6mil actually. Well I know this wasn’t too informative, but you should really look into those bands/songs I stated if you don’t already know them, thats really good stuff.
Went back to some good ol’ Viva Pinata today, and its a blast. Lots of people think Viva Pinata is for kids or whatnot, but I disagree. Its really… colorful yes but its pretty deep and addicting. Theres all these variants of pinatas that can live in your garden, and an assortment of plants and trees that you can grow to either sell for money or use to get more pinatas. Viva Pinata does take some time to get started and to get money, but as you play, a lot of cool animals.. I mean pinatas start to show up. Just today I finally got a horstachio (horse) and another doenut (doe/deer) in one of my gardens, these bad boys weren’t easy for me to get, but they came strangely as I was planting some Chilli’s (chilli peppers) so I promptly whiped out the blackberries and apples for them. Theres a lot I haven’t seen yet and I’m still learning a lot, hell I’m only level 22 or something like that. On another garden I have some Goobaas (sheep) and make them get sheared for their wool.. Maybe a little cruel but I need the cash.
Wow, I’m having the worst week this year… I have this freaking pain in my neck that refuses to go away no matter what, and I got major… I’d rather not say. I really shouldn’t even be on this because it makes my neck worst since its caused by my bad eyes.. NEED THOSE GLASSES. Alright my time is up/
I was youtubing, and I found this funny yet true video about xbox live and the dumb shit that happens.
Loved the one about the tough guy and the trash talk, and the guy that talks too much.. hell I like them all. Nowadays, if someone sounds irritating or just has that “SRSLY DROP UR BAWLZ” voice, I mute’um! and I mute a lot too. I disagree with the “blame it on the lag” part. Its true, it was the lag!
