Hello. 98th post today. Two more posts to the 100th post. I played a lot of Xbox today. I played Gun, which was one of the earliest games to appear on the 360. I'm playing it on Hard difficulty, and it's owning me. The sad thing is that Hard difficulty isn't even the hardest difficulty.

I also played Fable 2 for a few hours. I'm at the part where you enter the Spire to rescue the Hero of Will, but I haven't started the mission yet because I want to finish the side quests first. I'm still trying to figure out how to have sex in the game. Every time I get my wife to follow me to a bed, the only option available is to sleep. This happens even at the bed in my own house. Anyone who knows how to get some sex, kindly let me know.

I also played that shitload of **** game Alone in the Dark. I force myself to get through one of the levels for the Achievements. I have never played a more unlikable game. It's full of glitches. I have nothing against glitches. They can make a game hilarious to play. But in this game, the glitches can actually kill you.

It's ridiculous. And the control sucks. The main character walks like a robot and he often will get stuck in corners. The camera is horrible as well. I understand that they were trying to give the game a cinematic feel by auto positioning the camera, but it just feels awkward. I have been killed a few times because of the camera. Enough about Alone in the Dark. I can't believe I spent $72 on it. Would you spend $72 on a piece of shit? I actually did. Sad.

Say Yin and Sebastian were going to Downtown East today, so they asked me if I wanted to come, but my mother didn't allow me to go. I dunno if Yan Ming went. I think we're going to the zoo this week. I hope my mother allows me to go. She will worry about the tiger incident and all. I don't really care. A mere tiger is no match for me. If it bites me I will bite it back.

I was watching some of the earlier Angry Video Game Nerd episodes. He said this funny statement about falling platforms, which are often found in early platforming games. He said, "To get it to fall, you stand under it. If you stand under it, it kills you. What a paradox." lol. I think everyone should go and watch AVGN, because it would be a crime not to watch it.

Now I'm trying to play some easy song on the guitar just for fun. I'm looking for the songs of "easy" bands, like Good Charlotte, Boys Like Girls, or the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Not songs that I like to listen to, but they'll have to do. Most songs that I like to listen to are metal, and metal songs are hard to play, and they also usually require other tuning. I'm too lazy to tune my guitar down. I think I'm going to try to play "Damn Regret" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

Some news:
-Harmonix just got sued over Rock Band's lousy drum kick pedal.
-Pre-order GTA IV PC version over Steam and get GTA: Vice City for free.
-Xbox 360 Avatars can do more than you might think. People recently discovered that they can display facial emotions depending on the buttons you are pressing, and some themes come with bonus Avatar clothing and hair styles. If you are interested, here are all the emotions:

While in Avatar Customizer

Left Bumper - Makes Avatar do a random expression: depressed, apologetic, surprised, laughing, or angry.
Right Bumper - Opens Avatar's mouth
Hold Left or Right Trigger - Spins Avatar making it lose its balance.
Move Right Thumbstick - Rotates Avatar's head.
Move Right Thumbstick Left, Right, Left, Right - Makes Avatar angry.
Move Right Thumbstick Up, Down, Up, Down - Makes Avatar happy.
Rotate Right Thumbstick in a Circle - Makes Avatar dizzy.
Click Right Thumbstick - Makes Avatar burp.
Hold Right Thumbstick Left then move Right - Makes Avatar enthusiastically spin.

*Exclusive to "My Features" area or anywhere Avatar head is zoomed in on.

Move Right Thumbstick Up then Down - Makes Avatar hit its head on the screen, making it dizzy.

While in Xbox 360 Dashboard

Move Right Thumbstick - Rotates Avatar's head.
Move Right Thumbstick Left, Right, Left, Right - Makes Avatar angry.
Move Right Thumbstick Up, Down, Up, Down - Makes Avatar happy.
Rotate Right Thumbstick in a Circle - Makes Avatar dizzy.
Click Right Thumbstick - Makes Avatar smile and wave.

-Guitar Hero 3 playing robot pwns humanity by acing "Cult of Personality" on Expert mode. If you're thinking that that's no big deal, you probably have never tried playing the song before.
-Xbox 360 just celebrated it's 3rd year in existence yesterday. Wishing it a few more years of domination.
-Tomb Raider Underworld not living up to hype. It scored average review scores from almost every game website.

I was just looking at the release dates for next year's games.It's not even here yet, but 2009 is shaping up to be great year for gaming, possibly even better than 2007 and 2008. There are plenty of heavy hitters lined up for next year, like Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, Godfather 2, Bioshock 2, Halo 3: Recon and Final Fantasy XIII, as well as less known AAA titles like Mafia 2, Halo Wars, Bionic Commando, Prototype, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Bayonetta and I am Alive. There are even rumoured games like Half Life 2: Episode 3 and Doom 4 set for a 2009 release. I can't wait for next year to begin.

Ok. I need to read One Piece now. Getting really cool. Ok, ending off, see you tomorrow.
