The Awakened Spartan and the Sleeping Plummer

So after getting a few new games I came to a very interesting realization. Now for me to properly explain, let me take you back in time. It was around May 26th. The Halo 3 Beta was release to the public and I was to go on a voyage to my mom's house in a few days whihc meant that Torin had only one chance to experience Halo 3 before it was finally released. He came over and at that time I was already awake for 12 hours. Anyway we started playing and only stop for two things, food and bathroom. As the carnage continued before we knew it, it had already been 24 hours since we started. So do the math and you'll realize I was awake for 36 hours and it was all because of Halo. No as I've realized, whenever I play Halo I generally stay awake for a very long time that day. Now recently I bought Super Mario Galaxy and after about an hour of playing it I began to fall asleep. So it seems that Halo is the catalyst in my insomnia and Mario is the opposite.

Anyway Super Mario Galaxy, or SMG, is a pretty good game. The only thing is that it's either a really easy game or I just played Mario way too many times in my days. I mean I'm already halfway through the game and I've only clocked like 3-4 hours.

Now then let me tell ya of my newest games. First is Mass Effect. It's an excellent game. I mean just perfect. The sniper's rifle is a bit hard to use but it's better that way. I've already gotten 13 hours in that game and barely even scratched the surface.

Next is Wii Play. I realize this isn't a new game really but it's new to me. The game, or should I say games are pretty fun. They're boring if you're the only one playing but in multiplayer it's really enjoyable.

That's pretty much all my new games, the only other thing I have is an Assassin's Creed Faceplate and skin for my 360. It looks really sick. I mean, to put it in better words it's actually beautiful. Anyway that's all for now, I'll keep ya posted on any new happenings our any other random thoughts I happen to have. So Cya.

A Graphical Uplift...

Well I'm back in my GFX mood. I've been really creative this weekend actually. I don't just mean Photoshop, either. Also in stuff like forge in Halo 3 I've really let my creative juices flow. I made a new map using Foundry as a canvas. I call it Labyrinth Gates. A quick rundown of it's details is that I incorporated man cannons and alot of box crates. So if you don't know what foundry looks like, it's shape is essentially a big "U" with 2 bases. What I did was I extended the dividing wall and then cut that in half nd connected the two halves with bridges. In the center of the bridge is a Fuel rod cannon, because I don't feel it's used enough in the game and I think it's a pretty cool weapon. Now you may ask "Well Blood, how does one get onto the said bridges?" Well simple, that's where the man cannons come in. Now as for the rest of the map it's symmetrical but at the same time, not. See I made maze like ares on either side on the wall but the mazes aren't the same shapes. I'd say this map is perfect for any game type, especially Infection. There are two snipers and two shotties on the map. Some weapons are even hidden. I also made some shield doors and of course the very random soccer ball. Why the soccer ball? Really I just don't know why but I think it makes it look nicer. This map is of course available on my Halo 3 fileshare so go check it out and maybe even my other two maps, "Bloodgrounds" and "Hunting Grounds" also are two game types. The first is Lazy Snipers, the credit for the name goes to Torin. It takes the idea of Shotty Snipers and replaces the shotties with Spartan Lasers and then 300% speed and 50% gravity. Then there's ShSnTerritories, this is territories with shotty snipers weapon sets. Then I have a video on there which changes whenever I happen to find something particularly interesting. Currently it's on the map Rat's Nest during a Team Slayer match. I was in a battle with this one guy when I threw a plasma grenade just as a warthog drove past and the grenade somehow stayed in mid-air for a second then launched itself onto the gunner's ankle. It looked really cool too. Anyway that's all I got for now. See you people later.

My Rock Band Career...

No I'm not actually in a band. I've just being playing one on my TV, so to speak. Yeah I got Rock Band about 4 days ago. It's a great game. Way better than Guitar Hero. Not only does it have the extra peripherals, but the level of difficulty is much higher. For example, all that Guitar Hero does when the difficulty level is increased is add the Blue and Orange buttons and get faster. Rock Band, however, adds more notes so that the gameplay looks more similar to real guitar playing. Currently in guitar mode I've got my inner guitarist, Edges, finished with easy and medium level and just starting hard difficulty. I've also got my singer, Doctor Teeth. After I make a bass player and drummer, I'll have "Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem." In other game related stuff, the Heroic Map pack for Halo 3 came out Tuesday. Out of the 3 new maps, Rat's Nest is by far my favourite. It's a huge map with a perfect mix of close quarters and vehicular shenanigans. I've still not played Foundry online and Standoff is a pretty good map, at times very chaotic but still pretty good. Well that's all I've got for now. Maybe next time I'll have my other band members' name. Oh and I have a hilarious video on my Halo 3 file share so go check it out if you want. Just go to Bungie.net and then look for the gamertag, "Bloodlash" and the video will be called Psi Stick. Anyway Cya...
