One of my c1asses this semester discusses about the comic book medium. I ordered the assigned comic books over a week ago and got some of them via mail yesterday.

So far I've finished two of the books within two days and plan on [trying to] read the rest of them before my winter break concludes (which in this case is for another two weeks).

One of the graphic novels, Watchmen, will be for discussion for this particular c1ass. And what luck to read this around the time the film hit theaters, so I know the story by heart (or memory, whatever you call it).

That's all I have for today. Gonna get back to reading my texts, um, comics

^_^ 6h05tly ^_^

In this case, I plan on working on a new review. The review of course is Mass Effect, which I'm playing through a second time.

I have the layout planned out, I just have to work on it. I will say that this review will "try" to be as unique as my previous one. But then again I'm not sure if I can pull off such a feat (again).

We will just wait and see, I suppose. Anyone excited for Mass Effect 2?

Watched Avatar last night, and itwas amazing.

The CGi is brilliant (and it was in 3D! Glasses I mean...) and the story was strong, almost felt like you were there in the film.

Overall, Avatar is worth it. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.

So for all of you movie-goers, watch this movie. And if you watched it already, what did you think about it?

See Ya!

So far, beaten two games this month: Pariah (never play this shooter, take noteof that) and Mass Effect (though short, worth the replay value). Next stop, Doom 3? Maybe Arkham Asylum?

Last night I finally passed through the beginning part of the PS1 version of Metal Gear Solid. Very overwhelmed by things on King's Field (PS) (the predecessor to Demon's Souls), tough but worth it. Still stuck on RPG Making in RPG Maker.

Last but not least, is it true? The ModNation Racers Beta is tomorrow? The same day when Avatar hits theaters?! Anyone else gonna try out the Beta (if you have access to it that is)? Anyone gonna watch Avatar this week (or later)?

Too many questions. Not worth answering I guess

That's all for today, See Ya [at ModNation]!

I don't have the link on me, so you may have to look around my reviews section on my profile.

My new review (after 1 year) is the one I said that would be "unique and different" than what I posted before. And so without further ado, enjoy my long-awaited review of Batman: Arkham Asylum.

Once read, what do you think? See Ya!

^_^ 6h05tly o_O

And in case you're scratching your head as to what this blog title is trying to imply...

It's been almost a year since I last posted a gaming review. The last review I posted, the Wii version of Okami, wasn't one of my strongest written material (but then again, some of you liked it, I think).

I have been writing reviews since, but they're still in progress along with a few delays here and there. Well...

On my previous account I wasn't taking my reviews seriously. When I became known as 6h05tly (and yes, you're reading my blog, what of it?) I took it seriously. Kinda.

I have a couple of reviews that I completed but still needs some revisions and other grammatical fixings. But I will tell you that one of the reviews I've written will pay homage to a well-known series. The other will be "different" than what I normally write for reviews.

I can't tell you much about the two since they are still in progress. But I will say that I will return to posting reviews, now that I have the time (my schedule for the rest of the semester will be easy, now that I only have three weeks left, and 3-to-4 weeks of break).

And with that, See Ya.

Working on my gaming time at the moment (depressing, of course), I managed to get my college work done over the weekend.

My design c1asses are doing well. Just got back my current assignment and it is an A (as always, since I like designing stuff or something in the lines of art I guess). Had today's assignment critiqued and it recieved positive feedback by my peers and instructor. I'm happy to hear this news.

I have my presentation complete and (still) waiting for some of my group members to reply back, telling them I have my part of the Art History presentation done. We have to present monday next week and I'm a nervous wreck (I always been anyways).

Enough about that (depressing, of course). Let's get to gaming!

I rented Dragon Age Origins for the Xbox 360 and I'm very impressed with this roleplaying game. I was gonna rent Demon's Souls that day but they were all out. I was also gonna get Uncharted 2 but decided to wait a while (it's hard to focus on one game at a time).

I plan on finishing up a few things for my c1asses which I should be done early tomorrow. After that, I will be able to help my family with thanksgiving (which will be small this year unfortunately) later that day.

And with that, I hope you have a good thanksgiving as well. BTW, anyone watch this week's episode of Heroes? Funny yet shocking at the same time (but the show's not getting any better, sigh...).

After reading a recent article about a gamer who is suing Nintendo and Microsoft over things that don't make sense, it occurred to me:

Could I be that obsessed to this pixel/polygon craze?

I won't deny that it eats away my free time (which I must use for my studying), but it is somewhat conflicting with my college study time. It appears that I play 3 hours a day and maybe 6-8 hours on weekends. so that makes it 21-23 hours a week! Talk about obsessive.

I am doing well in my c1asses, ftw, so no worries there, I think...

So I'm working on a database that I will follow. It is a work in progress and I hope to improve on the roughs within the next day or two. So far I will spend my gaming time 1 hour a weekday and I'm still figuring out my weekend hours.

So the questions remains: Do you think you game too much?

...but for 20 years, I'm also a cop." LOL

Even though Steven Segall's new show Lawman won't premiere until December, the first episode made its debut on PlayStation Home last night. I watched it (unfortunately), I thought it was alright. That doesn't mean I'm gonna watch future episodes of it (besides, I hardly watch TV these days. Nothing interesting to watch anymore ).

I rate the show a 7 out of 10. Decent, well for an A&E show at least...

To those who like free items on Home, go see the episode [again] at the Theater right now. I think there's a vest to unlock (or something like that at least).

That's all for today. See Ya!

I have been playing Assassin's Creed recently, in anticipationfor its sequel.

It has been a while since I last played this game. The main reason why I halted my playtime on Altair's adventure was the first pickpocket mission. Luckily I figuredit outafter completing it last weekend.

Right now I'm on the next city but took a break after playing through Masyaf for several hours finding as many flags as I could (found out that I will get the rest later in the game).

I am excited about Assassin's Creed II mainly because of the Renaissance setting. And Leonardo da Vinci, my all-time favorite painter/artist in the history of art!!! (The Wright Brothers thought they invented this contraption we call a plane... Think again )

With that, I say good night to you all. And when you do go out in the world, remember these wise words...

"Live by the Creed."

See Ya!

When you buy any game, new or old, what motivated you to buy it? The graphics? The story? The gameplay? As a hobbie of collecting games? Anything else I can't think of about the subject you'd like to share?

For me, if the story is good, I will enjoy the game. Of course I've recently been purchasing games that are very hard to find (the GCN version of Master Quest and RPG Maker for the PS1 are just some examples).

Enough about me, let's hear what you have to say!

Even though I'm not much of a first-person shooter kind of gamer, I hope Modern Warfare 2's first week surpasses GTAIV and/or Halo 3.

Speaking of which, I didn't like GTA IV so I gave it away to my cousin, in exchange for Assassin's Creed. And after Halo 2 I stopped playing the franchise due to lack of enjoyment and even more lack on innovation (I'm an innovation-specific kind of gamer).

So whoever bought the game on its launch day as well as to those who will buy it in the future (unfortunately for me, I won't get it, sorry), enjoy Modern Warfare 2 day and night (you needs the energy drinks and coffee if you want to fight 24/7).

Me, you say? I recently (and finally) purchased Batman: Arkham Asylum for the PS3. I plan on writing a review for the game once I played through most of the game itself (I have some rough ideas in the process at the moment and will flesh it out here and there).

That's all for now, See Ya!

Before you answer this question, hear what I have to say, eh?

For years I've been a hardcore Nintendo fan, ever since I got an NES from my late uncle in the early 90s. Favoring the SNES over the Sega Genesis later on as well as the Nintendo 64 being my all-time favorite system, and being a supporter of Nintendo's handheld from the original GameBoy to the Nintendo DS: I always thought Nintendo did good for this industry.

Up until recently Nintendo has been having a difficult time selling Wii hardware and Wii software, having the console to "stall" at this point. A few people claimed that the Wii may outsell the PS2's lifetime sales, but Sony's successor to the PSX has a worldwide sales count of 140 million units. Even though Nintendo broke records in game sales and being one of the most innovative publishers on the planet, as far as I'm concerned, I am dissapointed in the lack of good games third party developers have created, thus drifting me away from getting a game for the Wii (in fact, I haven't even bought a new game in over a year for the Wii!).

Since my purchase of the 360, I've played that console more than the Wii and DS combined. But the only thing that kept me away from Microsoft's system is their online service. I don't want to pay extra for online gaming. It's like a gaming divserified system (Silver not getting online play whereas Gold has everything else), even though I hardly play online games, but you get what I mean.

But ever since I purchased a PS3, I've been playing on Sony's system more than 360 at the moment. I do plan on getting games like Demon's Souls and Arkham Asylum in the future (if I can afford it). So far I only play LBP, a few PS1 games, and PlayStation Home (and some demos here and there), and I want to expand my library for this console.

Even though I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan, in this gaming generation I have to yield their support due to lack of good quality software. But that's not stopping me from not playing on their systems (my primary reason for the Wii is c1assic games, and I still play those games on the Wii), I once in a while play a game on the Wii here and there.

Even though I like Microsoft's many options on content (games, movies, TV, music, etc.), in this generation I have to give my support to Sony. What are my reasons why I prefer Sony over the other two, you ask? I believe they have potential to succeed ever since they changed their marketing strategy when they released the newer model of the PS3 as well as forcing Microsoft and Nintnedo (and probably scaring them too) to compete with their demands.

Now that you know who I'm supporting in this gaming generation, who are you rooting for? Sony? Microsoft? Nintendo? Let your typing be heard !!!

See Ya!

I've only watched District 9 once, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

After finding out that the Blu-Ray version will include the God of War III E3 demo just a few minutes before posting this blog, now I have reason to watch the film in HD as well as trying my hands on what I describe as "a mature version of Zelda." But that's just me, eh

I do plan on getting the God of War collection next month since I desperately need another PS3 game than what I have now. (Haven't played much of LBP due to playing too much of PlayStation Home.)

That's all I have to discuss for today. See Ya!

6h05tly, the greatest mediocre artist who ever lived (maybe not, sigh...)

NOTE: Having some problems uploading images via Photobucket, saying that the upload failed.

Anyway...

After years of searching this one particular game, I have finally purchased The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest for the Gamecube.

Right now I'm on the first dungeon (Deku Tree) and I'm at the water platform room at the moment. I'm scratching my head on trying to solve this puzzle. I can see why you have to be a master of the original game. All in all, it's interesting just to solve these puzzles that are 10x more complex.

As for Ocarina of Time itself, I have the N64 version, the Collector's Edition via GCN, the Wii Virtual Console version, and now the Master Quest version. The only versions I don't have are the N64 gold cartridge version and the 64DD version of Master Quest (which this is impossible since the 64DD Drive was somewhat of a debacle in Japan and never made it way outside of the country). So I have 5 different versions of the game (4 = Original; 1 = Master Quest).

I guess that's all I had to say for the time being. See Ya!

Been thinking about trying out Warhawk for the PS3. Saw it for $20 at my town's Walmart. Thought about buying it this past weekend.

Unsure if anyone still plays Warhawk (since it's online-only). Trying to figure out how many units were sold for this game. I never even played the PS1 version (I think it's available as a PSone C1assic download via PSN).

I'll give it a rent before making my final decision. See Ya!

Which method of texting on your favorite gaming systems do you prefer: controller or keyboard?

For me I cannot stand using the controller (the Wii is an exception though) so I recently purchased a USB keyboard to type whatever on PlayStation Home, search for levels on LittleBigPlanet, etc. etc.

See Ya!

Just a quick blog on some new games I recently purchased.

Purchased Blood Omen via PlayStation Store. Feels kinda like Diablo. The main antagonist(?) won't shut up during gameplay, and it is one of those few games (to me) that has some interesting features (taking blood from a human to regenerate health is one of them).

Found this at my town's local game store. Learning more from the store employee, this was released during the PlayStation launch back in 1995. It is a first-person RPG (like you see in the Elder Scrolls series), but this game isn't compatible with the dual shock analog sticks since the PS1's updated controller didn't exist when this game was released. King's Field II was also available too but decided to try this game out. Kinda frustrating since it is non-linear, but it was an interesting concept for its time.

Fact about King's Field: The developer behind this series is responsible for the upcoming PS3 game Demon's Souls. I didn't know this myself until a few days ago. Now I'm interested for this game after hearing about this.

That's all for today. See Ya!

Hey everyone, 6h05tly here.

It's been over a week, I completed the Story Mode on LBP (and having over 60% of the items collected), played some of the community levels. Now I'm trying my hands on the level editor which is taking me some time to understand as well as getting use to the features.

The one problem I have on LBP, and this is especially true, is that it is very difficult finding someone to play an online session due to the fact that there are so many custom levels published on the LBP community. What I'm trying to say is that there are so many levels out there that it is virtually overwhelming, especially the fact that new levels get uploaded every minute.

Like I said, I'm still getting use to the level editor and I was wondering if anyone here owns and plays LittleBigPlanet. So far I have one person in my friends list that has the game (and yes, I did try out his music level and commented on it).

If anyone is interested in a gaming session of LBP (or not, it's up to you), my PS3 ID is on my profile (and if you're having a hard time trying to spell out my ID, let me know via PM).

Other than that, just a few gaming and non-gaming updates from yours truly:

I had no idea the season 4 premiere of Heroes took place this week! Luckily I purchased the two-episode bundle via Xbox Marketplace and watched the 90-minute premiere. I tend to do this for a while since my uncle won't be able to watch the new episodes since he and I both have an evening c1ass on Mondays.

I've been on PlayStation Home since I got my PS3. I'm not much of a social person (both real and virtually) so I just run around the areas I go to. Last night I played a session of Buzz! and became the overall winner on that session. It was a tight one since near the end of the last round I was tied with another player.

Also purchased Crash Bandicoot via PlayStation Store. Took 30 minutes to download the game. Other than that, I relived those good times when playing this game. Tend to play more of this pretty soon.

That's all I had to say today. See Ya!
