  Level 41: Thunder Force

  Level 41 - Thunder Force - A series of side-scrolling action games for the Commodore 64, Genesis and Saturn.

  I've never heard of that game to be honest. So how are you you guys/gals doing? I hope you are all doing good. Me I'm doing good as usual. Sorry about not blogging so much, I'm not much of a blogger. I mean I could do blogs more often, but most them would probably be boring and don't want you guys reading boring stuff.

  Well as usual I'm gonna talk about what I purchased recently. I bought Mercenaries 2, sadly to say gamespot didn't like it to much and they gave it 5.0. A bit harsh if you ask me, but I don't let reviews influence me on whether if I should buy a game or not. I buy a game because I want to experience it for myself and then make my own judgements about the game. My second purchase was a Arcade Edition Xbox 360, I purchased this for $199. I'm gonna save up and send my other xbox 360 off to M$ at a later time, it can be used for a back up system in case something were to happen.

  Well that's it for this blog... I'm gonna be making a new one in a few days. It will most likely be a blog asking you guys/gals about the upcoming games that you are getting/want. Just something different for a chance of pace.

  So what do you think of this?

  Taken from the userCanana's Blog

  A Letter to GS

  Dear GS

  I am at your side for almost two years,and i have always seen you like a brother/sister that i have never had.You were born in 1996 under the name VideoGameSpot.Pete Deemer,Vince Broad and Jon Epstein were the ones that created you.

  But my letter it isn't about your first steps nor how you become one of the best Videogames Web sites.It is about the changes that you had recently made.I know that sometimes a change is good for everyone,but this time GS,it doesn't need to change something that is the best in the business.

  I understand that the changes that you have maid were for the best of the community,but there is something that is not right GS,you have hide the thing that made you different from the others,the emblems.You know,that little square things that you sometimes give us for watching the most awesome Live Feeds that are made by you,I'm sure that other users share the same opinion.

  You know GS,there are lots of emblem hunters like myself at your side,and probably will never leave you,but you aren't the same GS without the emblems/badges in our profiles.

  Dear GameSpot,i know that you have a lot of work in your hands,probably you will not read my letter,but i'm just telling how do i feel about your new look.I took the liberty of making you a better look.,maybe the Perfect one? Please,gohere

  One last thing GS,i'm not well-know and powerful like you,probably you will just close your eyes about my letter,but i think i deserve at least one reply from you.

  Sincerely,

  canana

  He feels that all of the user's emblems should be displayed in their profile as the previous gamespot layout did. He feels that this new layout hides the emblems and the emblems are what set us apart from the other game sites.

  Well my idea, is that with the large amount of space on the left hand side, why can't it display all of the emblems? It wouldn't be hard to do that it. Canana feels that his idea/ suggestion will go unnoticed. So my question is, what do you guys and gals think of this, do you think it's something that should be changed? Feel free to post what you think here or you can check out Canana's Blog.

  Bad News

  So it seems that it I didn't need new component cables. I bought those today and got the same problem, no picture all I get is sound. I called M$ today and I eplained the situation to customer support, they had me go through a couple of steps just to make sure that it wasn't my t.v. that was causing the issue. The lady then told me that I needed to send my console to M$ and that I needed to purchase a warranty to cover for the fixing of my xbox360. The warranty lasts for 1 year and I have to pay $99 bucks to get it, after paying they would send me a box.... yeah I've heard of this process, sometimes it can take awhile for the box to get to my house and sometimes it can take awhile for them to send you another console. So I'm probably gonna get rid of a psp and a few games to help me get the money to cover for this, this won't be much of a problem, because I have more than one psp. But in the meantime, looks like I'll be dealing with my DS and my PS3.

  On a side note I sold Mass Effect awhile ago, I think I got around $33 dollars in store credit for it. Well today I found a copy of it for $26, I thought this kind of odd considering there was a bunch of other used copies of it going for $37.99. Well I couldn't pass that up so I purchased it, again.
