Video Games: Your Top Five?

Drew — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:09:54 GMT

Hey, folks! I was reminiscing today after reading a thread on NeoGaf, and I decided to see if I could name my top five video games. Not such an easy feat, in truth, although simple enough. I thought it would make a good topic, and seeing as how I haven't been here in a while I decided to come here and post it. I'm trying to keep my opinion from being completely swayed by nostalgia as best as I can. It'd be great if we could get some replies going with a little description (nothing major, you ...

Web Comics (Slight Language Warning)

3/4/2010 - Lol, high school registration.

Cody574 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:05:54 GMT

Today, we took a tour of the only high school in Kingman and we got to pick our classes with their fucked-up registration system.

Also, the school is easily about as big as about two NFL stadiums and I'll probably have a hard time getting around.

Good Collection of Video Game Music

http://vip.aersia.net/vip.swf For anyone here who enjoys music, there's a great collection of video game related compositions at the link above. I haven't listened to anywhere near all of the songs, but here are some some of the ones that stood out to me taken from the top of the list: Ace Combat 4 - Megalith -Agnus Dei- Ace Combat Zero - Zero Aion: The Tower of Eternity - Forgotten Sorrow (Eng.

Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing

Cody574 — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 01:28:55 GMT

This game came out 11 days ago for pretty much every current console after a nearly year-long wait since the announcement. I got it for my birthday yesterday for the Wii, and for a $45 Mario Kart clone, I have to say that it's amazing. 75% of the first impressions for this game were "ZOMG MARIO KART RIPOFF AND SONIC DOESNT NEED A CAR HE IS FAST ASDFSG," but even IGN surprisingly gave this game an 8.0 out of 10, saying that "it's a clone that got it right." There is ...

3/6/2010 - My birthday

Cody574 — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 01:01:19 GMT

My birthday was yesterday. We left at about 5 to go to the bowling alley. I invited one friend and my sister invited a crapload of friends. I sucked at bowling and I remembered how much I hated it from the last time so I quit early and went to the arcade on the other side of the bowling alley. Then, we came back and had cake and presents. I got: Over $70 in cash Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing for the Wii (have been playing off-on constantly) Sega Superstars Tennis for the Wii (haven't ...

3/2/2010 - A giant filler blog that nobody'll care about

Ever since last summer, I haven't written a very good blog thread in a while. I might as well recap everything from the last time I was actually blogging and everything I've missed (well, hopefully everything). June 11, 2009 - Left for Minnesota to see my dad who we hadn't seen for a while. June 13, 2009 - Arrived in Brainerd, Minnesota. June 17, 2009 - Got transferred to Hibbing, Minnesota.

Sink-a-State [Kansas Sunk!]

Cody574 — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:39:59 GMT

Got the idea from a thread on the Blockland Forums. Every round, everyone suggests an American state or Canadian province/territory that they want to sink. Every so often, the state with the most votes is sunk. If there are ties for all of them, there will be a poll for the first one suggested asking if you want it sunk or not. The next day, the votes will be counted. Round 1 Results California: 2 votes Oklahoma: 1 vote California was sunk. Round 2 Results New York: 1 vote Kansas: ...

Abusive XBL moderators.

Cody574 — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:32:10 GMT

People shell out tons of money for Microsoft's constantly inflating bank account for online play, yet the abusive moderators will do anything to ban anyone who even has the slightest hint of ToS violation. The Pro, a mod, warned iTzLuPo for a ToS violation that I don't know. When they both encountered each other in a game, Lupo was doing absolutely nothing when The Pro warned him and later banned him for no reason. The Pro also took out his rage on other innocent people. lol @ "You can ...

Chile Earthquake/Pacific Tsunami

Last night, an 8.8 mag earthquake shook Chile with 500x more force than the Haiti earthquake. It sent a tsunami racing across the Pacific. It is expected to hit the cities of Hilo, Lanai, and Kahului, Hawaii in about 5 minutes with 8-12 foot high waves. Areas expected to be impacted: Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur La Paz, Baja California Sur Mazatlan, Sinaloa Hermosilo, Sonora Puerto Penasco, Sonora Tijuana, Baja California San Diego, California Hilo, Hawaii Kahului, Hawaii Honolulu, ...

Team USA is a fucking joke

Cody574 — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:58:58 GMT

If anybody was watching the women's hockey game pitting Canada vs the USA a few hours ago, you would've seen that Team USA constantly kept cheating (ie holding Canadian players on the ground, hooking Canadian players with their hockey sticks). And the referees did not do anything about it, like they were blind. The USA still lost 0-2 and were all butthurt about it. Finland got damn bronze medals and they were all excited, and the USA got silver medals yet everybody on the team was being a ...

Canada FINALLY added to Google Street View.

After months of teasing us with a few Canadian cities (Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Sudbury, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Quebec City, and Halifax), Google has finally added the entire rest of the country to its popular Street View. For the first time in 7 years, I was finally able to see my hometown of Dryden, Ontario, and now I can see my common road trip locations so often. All images of Canada are in HD, too.

Because I quit Roblox and still want some Lego-building game, I found a game called Blockland. http://blockland.us/ I was playing this a lot during my trip, even though it was just the demo. The demo had 150 bricks and no multiplayer... But just now, my mom let me buy it! (It's $19.95 USD) Now I have unlimited bricks and multiplayer. If anyone else has it, I'm Sonicfan574.

Some of Bullhead City and Laughlin were evacuated due to flooding, and other areas such as Mohave Valley, Needles, and Kingman experienced major street flooding. There was one confirmed tornado warning issued for Arizona and California, a tornado ...

No, really, this isn't a joke. 666 and Drew might get a kick out of this. Apparently the reactions are pretty negative.
