Post Holiday Stuff

Well, I had an excellent holiday and I don't go back to school for a while longer so I am working and enjoying life every other second.

Right now I have my 16:9 1920x1080p 21.5 inch computer monitor, a very stunning display.
My Logitech G5 gaming mouse, 2000dpi with custom weight cartridge, laser, macro buttons and all sorts of things.
A cool little docking station that acts as a case for any 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA internal hard drive.
I've got some good games, some of them my friends and family gave me for Christmas, some of them I've bought since Christmas, some of them I've had but haven't played yet because I haven't had free time since August.

I beat Bioshock, Resistance 2, and Little Big Planet (the story mode AND metal gear solid download levels) and I'm still playing Little Big Planet because

A. It is awesome
B. I downloaded EVERY SINGLE PIECE of DLC and I am GETTING MY MONEYS WORTH.
C. It is awesome
D. I'm looking for more inspiration for my stage, Project Awesome (currently in first alpha milestone)
E. It is awesome

All three of those games are amazing. I mean I got caught up on Singstar titles and got Rock Band 2 but that is more of a party thing, I've been catching up on gaming because I haven't been a gamer for the longest time.

Bioshock is an amazing game, played out the good ending on the new PS3 version and WOW to the video after the credits in the end. Amazing stuff. Great game, a perfect 10.

And then if Bioshock was a 10, Resistance 2 was an 11. I mean I loved Resistance: Fall Of Man, it was one of the first shooters I ever really LOVED, but holy God R2 is damn near perfect. I keep flashing back to the end and it BLOWS MY MIND! The gameplay is intense, unlike R1 the graphics are top top top of the line and the story blends seamlessly with the gameplay. I've got the 0 issue of the new comic and the first chapter of Resistance: The Gathering Storm (the upcoming novel), but I just can't shake the devastating feeling that a true R3 will probably not be seen for 2 or 3 years... Amazing in every way AMAZING...

Little Big Planet as a game is rather simple but its community and the open source nature, encouraging everybody to take this program in all of its head crushing depth and spend 30 hours of your life creating 10 minutes of gameplay that can kick the entire story mode's ass... Little Big Planet is conceptually the most exciting thing to happen to the gaming industry in years.

If any of you are out there playing right now I am PaladinBlade on the Playstation Network and I need input on Project Awesome alpha 1. Introduce yourself, I'll return the favor, beat all your levels, heart all your stuff, etc.

Haha, I took a break from Little Big Planet to type this, switching inputs on my new monitor (HDMI= PS3 and VGA = computer)

Those are three of the most amazing games ever. Almost makes me forget I have Valve Complete Pack now (my present to myself). Got some clothes and some money and I am SO broke from spending money on people but I am so happy right now.

Just getting some family time and some personal (gaming) time a few times a week instead of a couple times a month. Nice to finally have my PS3 and my Wii repaired too (not that I ever use the Wii when I have good PC or PS3 games, lol).

Anyway so I am the biggest Resistance fanboy you could ever imagine now. R2 surpassed Call of Duty in huge and Halo in epicness and Resistance 1 in being really fucking hard even. However much I liked Resistance before R2 I like it even more now. Those who know me know how much this is a blasphemy for me to say, but it surpassed Metal Gear Solid 4 in my mind.

Yes folks, MGS4. It was fast paced, harder but not impossible on low difficulty levels, it contained powerful narratives that would just blow your damned mind by the end of it, but with very moderate amount of cutscenes instead of 14 hours worth and none of the pretentiousness or culture shock.

The ending of Resistance 2 keeps playing over in my mind over and over again holy crap...

So everybody already has known Bioshock is awesome by now.

I guess what I'm saying is, make sure you have played

Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance 2
Little Big Planet

because DAMN! That is all I can say, DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So join me in Resistance and LBP people, especially LPB I need some people to critique my level fragments and give me new things to do!

Umm, who knows what is going on with Massive Echo and But What Do I Know

but I have a couple friends who have been recording stupid videos on the computer and now on the Playstation Eye on the PS3...

and anyway I'm helping them get some stuff on Mevio and Itunes and Zune Marketplace

I'm not in any of it but it is funny stuff so be on the look out.
