Through My Eyes...

Alright guys, so it's April 13th and I haven't done a post in a little while. Like always, I guess I just been busy. Work's gone from a lot to OVERLOAD, and well I haven't had much personal time at all. As for videos, more are on the way very soon. I just need to talk to a few people, get a couple bucks and make sure I know what I want to do, but there will always be more on the way. At least for now. :)


In other news, my last few posts talked about this band named Skillet, and well to be honest, for some reason these guys changed music for me. Well, not so much changed it as brought it back to me. They managed to give me back "That Feeling" that I had when I used to watch Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad and that was a feeling that I'll never forget. Their music sounds a lot like Three Days Grace meets Three Doors Down, but they are so totally amazing (At least, since they got Jen Ledger on drums). So if you guys like Three Days Grace or are just lookin for something new check these guys out. My favorite songs are "Monster", "Hero" and "Awake and Alive" so feel free to check those out.

Aside from that I've been working hard on Platinuming Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3), and trust me, that was no easy task. First off, I had to beat the game again because the first time I played through it, Trophies didn't exist. I managed to beat the game under 30 hours so I got the Liberty City Minute Trophy and a bunch more. The only trophies I got left to get are "No More Strangers", "Endangered Species" and the one for Unique Stunt Jumps (Not counting online trophies of coarse). So I hope to complete this soon.


I also managed to get a really cool Dynamic Theme for my PS3. The Heavy Rain Crime Scene. It's pretty sweet I must say. Along with that I also just downloaded The Ballad of Gay Tony which I'll be going through really soon and later this week I hope to get The Lost and the Damned, but anyways. On the PSN I downloaded a PS1 Classic... Grandia. One 0f those amazing RPG's I've never played, so I'm looking forward to going through that! :D

I guess that's pretty much everything lately. I hope everyone's been enjoying themselves with all the amazing games out there and I hope to see you all on Youtube really soon! Have a good one!

When Disturbed and All That Remains came...

As many of you may already know. All That Remains and Disturbed are two of my all time favorite bands! They are amazing and I never dreamed in my life I would ever get to see them. Well, anyway. Last year, on May 29th 2009 they came to my hometown of Moncton, NB. and I got to see both of them, live, together with all my friends! It was the greatest show of LIFE! At least to us it was. Nothing like that ever happened here. Anyways, as I remember a million amazing things about that night (like getting a signed copy of Art of Dying's CD and an All That Remains T-Shirt) there was only a couple I could share with you. So please, click the links below and enjoy two of the most AMAZING moments in the show. Just remember, we're a small town. This is huge for us.

All That Remains playing Two Weeks

Disturbed's Amazing Drum Solo transitions into Down with the Sickness.

- This post is dedicated to all my friends that were there with me! This was an amazing night! I hope to God there will be more in the future! Mandy and Steph, we got to go to a concert together! You'd be the people to go with! :D.... Josh too. lol

Skillet

Alright, so today I hung out with a good friend of mine. Most of you know him as Josh, but for the sake of the internetz he wants us to call him "Kain" (However he expects me to spell it, I like it this way so yeah!). So, anyways, like I said. I was hanging out with Kain today and he decided to show me this new Christian Rock Group, and now I know what you're all thinking... "Religious Rock, ahh man- that sucks!" - but guess what! No it doesn't.


The band was called Skillet, and two of the songs that captured my attention was "Monster" and "Hero". To be honest, Hero is just awesome! It's just one of those songs that's kind of empowering. Now, in my opinion Skillet sounds like Three Days Grace meets Nickelback at some point, but rather than me go on about it.

Grand Theft Auto IV Alternate Ending?

Okay, so as most of you know. I just beat Grand Theft Auto 4 for a second time. Now my goal was to get the Liberty City Minute Trophy. Which I did. Yay! However, after that I decided I wanted to try for some other trophies. Now first off. I chose the Revenge path (Spoilers btw) so instead of Roman dying, it was Kate that died. Now on my journey of collecting cars for Brucie today, I got this call from an Unknown caller. So I picked it up... It was Kate... but, she's dead... ???? She asked me if I wanted to go on a date, So I went picked her up and went on a date, but it's weird. When I press "try my luck" rather than "Good Night"... it's still the "Good Night" cutscene... It's weird. I don't know if my game kinda got messed up, but for me the game's done and Kate and Roman are both alive. This is weird, but AWESOME! Oh, and one more thing. I can't call Kate, but she can call me, it's really messed up. Anyways, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? That's all.

Blog Consistancy

Alright guys, So it's Easter today and I wanted to say first off, Happy Easter to everyone. Now, moving on, this blog here is going to be rather short, but I just had a couple quick things to say and something to ask you guys. First off, One thing I wanted to do was to be more consistent with my blogs, in other words, get more of them out, about a variety of different things (mainly pertaining to myself). The one question I had for you guys was what kind of things do you want to see in my blog? Like do you want it to be about gaming stuff only? or do you want it to go in depth with things going on in my life in general? Do you want there to be movie reviews or TV show reviews? Maybe even shout-outs/Gamer spotlights? Tell what you want to see posted and I'll try to post more of it. So that could mean 2 posts a day or more, so make sure to check the whole blog before signing out alright? Let me know by Monday. Thanks guys.

(You can tell me in the comment section below. Just click the link that says Comments at the bottom of this blog.)

A Sequel to Oblivion?

That's right people. There's actually a novel (not a video game, sorry to disappoint) that's actually a direct sequel to Oblivion. It's called The Infernal City...


...and it's written by Greg Keyes. Now, it's hard for me to explain the exact plot, so I'll let the synopsis on the back of the book explain it all.

"Four decades after the Oblivion Crisis, Tamriel is threatened anew by an ancient and all-consuming evil. It is Umbriel, a floating city that casts a terrifying shadow–for wherever it falls, people die and rise again.

And it is in Umbriel’s shadow that a great adventure begins, and a group of unlikely heroes meet. A legendary prince with a secret. A spy on the trail of a vast conspiracy. A mage obsessed with his desire for revenge. And Annaig, a young girl in whose hands the fate of Tamriel may rest…." (Cover Art & Synopsis)

Now for those of you that didn't know. Oblivion was one of the best selling and amazingly detailed RPG's (Role Playing Game) of all time. It was released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and had two additional expansions (The knights of the nine and Shivering Isles). This game here is not only one of the best RPG's I've ever played, but most definitely one of my favorite and one of the most well designed and interactive.

Up to know I've read about two chapters of the book and it definitely does not disappoint. Just in case it didn't mention above the story takes place four decades after Oblivion, and for something original it's quite amazing. I can't wait until the second book comes out, but for now I think I'm going to relax and read this.
