Awesome movies
Into the Wild

I just finished watching this excellent adventure/ true story/ drama called Into the wild. If you haven't seen it you may want to check that bad boy out.








The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters

Honorable mention to this really gripping drama The King of Kong which follows Steve Weibe on his quest to beat Billy Mitchell the current reigning Donkey Kong World Champion. You'll laugh and cry, well you'll laugh and Steve will cry

Woah COD4
COD4 banner

"Woah", because thats what I thought when I played it online for the first time. It's been so long since I played COD3 (which Igot sick of in about 1 month) but now that 4 is here I'm pretty impressed.


Many people have many differing opinions on this game, but I enjoy the shoot em' up first person shooters. Respawns are cool, athough this Call of Duty has a mode that takes respawns away apparently. Not that I've seen anyone using it


So I'm working my way up to lvl 55 so I can go into Prestige mode and lose my weapons and start all over again hehehehe

Hope u all had a safe Xmas and New Year. Welcome to 08

Happy Festivus Everyone

Well my TV recently died so I find myself gaming alot more than usual when I get home. I finished my senior first aid certificate and responsible service of alcohol. I just need to finish off a few modules from the law component to get my licence for security work. That oughta tie me over for awhile until I work up the ranks

Another thing that happened to me was being given an opportunity to rock out with the GameSpot AU team in a schwank bar in Sydney last week. Total awesome fun playing Rock Band pre-release with a bunch of die hard gamers and the interested alike. Plus there was of course the added incentive of meeting the GSAU crew (which I had done previously this year also) and drink all the alcohol that CNET could afford to place on the bar tab

Stay safe, Merry Christmas , and have a Happy New Year.

W.I.C, Saw IV + More..
Calling in Air Strike

This month has been cool. Catching up on some game time with the awesome new RTS World in Conflict. It comes as a surprise to me that I should like it so much because I generally don't play many RTS' due to the tedious resource gathering and timely stategic battle planning. Thats where this game shines the most to me. As in it was explained in the review, this game delivers units/vehicles endlessly in a quick manner to you so that your hardly ever disengaged from the game play / battle. Totally worth the 9.5 rating it recieved at GS.

GTA Patriot Racing OnlineThis past month I've also been racing online with SA:MP in my spare time. GTA San Andreas is the ultimate free roam city IMO and what better way to utilize it than by having races online. They've of course been precoded by some small genius who runs several servers. So thank you to the [ESC] Clan
Here's a small video of our that Patriot race


Saw IV The most recent film I've seen to date was a big disappointment. Luckily it didn't cost much for us to see it or I might have been angry, because this film isn't much more than a glorified slasher. Although I don't want to take credit away where it is due, IMO it sucked hard and shouldn't have been made. Saw - Saw III are at the top of the pack for horror/thrillers, but IV is a joke. ->My Review here

Spring time in the Army

YAY!



Spring is finally here and you know what that means. Summer and Christmas are right around the corner. I can't wait to hit the pools.

So recently I've gotten way back into America's Army, having fisgured out how to upgrade my honor after giving it up earlier this year when I discovered it.
Its a real trip to play online against other human opponents, but I'm really getting into Interdiction the co-op match up against the AI which isn't always easy.

Watching a few flicks and playing some demos also, but overall nothing spectacular. Oh I'm currently looking for work again, so I'm rebuilding my resume and sifting through newspapers etc. Exciting stuff

Peace

Mid Year Crisis
darkmanian

Things have gotten out of hand in my circles lately so I've had to take a leave of absence.

Don't know when I'll be back, only that this is important and its already cost me a free trip to the Sony Experience More Showcase which apparently, was excellent.

Missing all the action, DarK.
