First Week of College

As some of you may know, others may not, I started college on Monday. Now I still have a class tomorrow but I already had the first half of this class so I know enough to type this thing up now. Plus, without my Achievement Updates I have to give you something. So here we go, I'm attending Ferris State University in Grand Rapids, MI (not the Big Rapids campus for those of you who know, or care) and I'm in the Digital Animation & Game Design program. Try and guess which section I'm more interested in. Now that that is out of the way, let's get to Monday. My first and only class on Monday was 3D Modeling. This is the class I'm gonna have the most fun in because I want to be a level designer. Due to Labor Day next Monday, I don't have any homework in that class too. Tuesday: I had 3D Visual Drawing which is gonna be my worst class because I suck at drawing but the professor said he doesn't grade on skill so that's good. I do have homework in this class but it's easy. After that I have lunch with some friends I've already made there and then I go to Digital Imaging which is a Photoshop class and this will be the class I feel I'll own at because I love messing with Photoshop. In fact my old high school's new baseball logo was made by me in Photoshop. Then I have 3 hours of nothing where I need to figure out how to fill which I'm probably just gonna bring my laptop to fill that time period with awesomeness like homework, Giant Bomb, and WoW. Then I go to Story Development in Film and Gaming which is more fun than it sounds, or at least our first class was a ton of fun. Than I have Wednesday off only to go back on Thursday to go to the second half of Digital Imaging. The week comes to end with Friday being game night! Yes, my college has a game night! We play games for 5 hours! I'm in charge of Rock Band now because they needed someone to bring the stuff and I volunteered. So that's gonna be fun. That's my schedule and now it's time for a ALIENWARE UPDATE! Yes that needed to be in caps for it's epic-awesomeness known as Alienware. My Alienware M17x will be here within the next week. Which is good because I can't wait! Also, my Xbox is about to hit the repair center so I may have my new Xbox by the end of next week! So that's it go back to your fun lives, will ya?
 
Until next time, The Office returns on Sept. 17th followed by Community!!!!!!!!

Achievement Update #100 (YAY!)

 Well I finally made it to Achievement Update #100! This is a bittersweet moment for me, though. First of all, I'm late, I usually post these on Mondays but it's Friday so something's up. Second, I left Gamespot after my 2 years there because people on there would either not read my blogs or type dumb blogs every 5 minutes that I didn't want to read since they weren't reading mine. At least on here I feel like the community is better and I guess more mature. Anyways, there is one more reason why it's kind of sad, today I mailed in my Xbox to MS for repairs. It hasn't fully died but I can't use my drums or guitar on it because the wireless controller connect button is broken. It's fine for my wireless controllers because I can plug them in with the plug-and-play. Anyways, I won't be playing Xbox for the next 2-3 weeks so if you are on my friends list don't delete me. Because of this, however, this will be the last Achievement Update until I get my Xbox back. But it's not all doom and gloom, here's the achievements!

Stewie Griffin Is Gay, Religious Site Freaks Out

Okay, for those who don't know, Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, recently let out that Stewie Griffin is gay. Now I'm not surprised and I'm fine and dandy with it because Stewie (along with Brian) is one of the best characters on the show in terms of humor. However, one site called ChristWire (or some bullshit like that) has freaked the fuck out and said that Family Guy is promoting a "homogay agenda" (oh I love that so much) to children. First off when did Family Guy become a children's show? And second, what is a "homogay agenda" (WTF?). Anyways here's the link: 
http://christwire.org/2009/08/seth-macfarlane-admits-family-guy-stewie-griffin-gay-homo/#comment-13679 
 
 That's not all though. I decided to post a comment about this man's crazy ideas so I did. Now I want everyone to read this and tell me what you think because I got a real kick out of writing this. I even gave the guy my email address so he can contact me because I want to have a one-on-one talk with him. So here it is. Yes, it's long but if you read it that would be great.
 
" Thank you for adding some hilarity to my day. I happened upon this site looking for the official article so I could see if the great Seth MacFarlane had any funny stuff to say because everything he does is comedy gold and let me say you sir are one of the most annoying people I have ever heard. Next to Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olbermann of course. I’m a Catholic Christian and I find this kind of religious craziness that you are typing wrong. Just because someone does something that you don’t like doesn’t mean you need to spread your crazy babble about “homogay agendas” (that was hilarious what you did there by the way) to everyone who is stupid enough to follow this useless site. It saddens me to see there are some comments here that agree with your point of view. Family Guy in no way is a children’s cartoon it starts every episode off with a huge sticker with TV-14 on it. Maybe you can’t see it though because you obviously have a narrow-minded view. Also, just because there is a gay character doesn’t mean they are trying to spread a message for the “homogay agenda” (see I love it so much I’m using it again) they have. Finding Nemo had Ellen Degeneres, an openly gay actress/comedian, play the voice of Dori but I didn’t see anywhere in that movie mention a single gay reference. The cartoon is just good wholesome fun for adults. Which reminds me, thanks for the great Stewie compilation you have there that made me laugh as well. Now on to why you should not be writing because this article pretty much is a perfect example of it. First, you used a statistic that did not have a source so I believed you made it up. Then, when asked for a source you linked to a site that is just as biased as this site leading me to believe you never made it up but they did. Next, you are biased. Yes that word is used way too much but this may be one of the few times it’s actually used correctly. You think your religious view is the only view and that anyone who disagrees with you is destined for eternal damnation in Hell. You then go on to tell them what to believe. Well, I believe that is called propaganda and I also believe that is wrong. Anyways, I’ll go back to watching this great comedy show, which by the way returns Sept. 27 for all of you people who aren’t brainwashed into believing that the show is evil. In the meantime, you continuing writing articles about how Two and a Half Men is throwing it’s “homogay agenda” at us (oh man, this is fun using your little made up phrase here. Hey, maybe they’ll put in Webster’s? Wouldn’t that be great! Than you may be known for something great like making up the dumbest phrase ever!) Where was I again, oh yeah Two and a Half Men, you would say that that show should be banned because two men (although related) are living together. You would believe they are gay without even watching the show (once again, narrow-minded) and write up a post about it on this propaganda site. Would you do me a favor though? Would you include a great compilation video so I have something to watch again? Oh who am I kidding I’m not coming back to this site. Actually I might move over to that article called “I Am Extremely Terrified Of Chinese People” that sounds like a good unbiased read." -ME
 
Also, for those who read it but did not click on the link or did not notice. The article I mentioned at the end is real and was below the comments at the time I was typing this.
 
Thank you,

A Very Productive Saturday

Let's just start off with the beginning, I was very tired last night and I turned the TV off at 11:30 (an hour early than usual) and feel asleep instantly. I woke up at 11:30 this morning so I got a full 12 hours of sleep! Something I desperately needed. Anyways, I ate lunch because there was no point to eating breakfast and took my shower. Once I took my shower my mom said let's order your laptop! That's right, I now have my Alienware M17x laptop ordered! So it's the same specs as my last post about it mentioned except the processor is better. The laptop is scheduled to come in on Sept. 1st at the latest and I can't wait. Not only was that ordered, I have ordered a 1TB external hard drive for it, a ink jet printer, a 6 ft. HDMI cable, and all my books for college. I start college on August 31st and am going in to become a game designer so all the stuff I mentioned is necessary. I'm using the hard drive to take my files to school when I don't want to take my 12 lb. Alienware, the printer is obviously used for printing, and the cable is going to be used to hook my computer up to my TV easily. The computer also has a Blu-ray drive so I can watch Blu-ray movies on my computer and view them on my TV! I can't wait for it! But, that's not the best news! I got a call a couple minutes ago from Wal-Mart and I have an interview on Monday! I might be a cashier there! Hopefully I get it because then I can afford WoW, which I'm getting when my computer calls, and I might upgrade my Hardened pre-order to Prestige for MW2. I also really want the Assassin's Creed 2 collector's edition. That's it my Achievement Update of course will return on Monday.
 
Until next time, children. (playing a lot of Fallout 3 again lately and I love Three Dog)

So that was my amazing week! I have been working on Lego Indiana Jones like crazy and one of my friends was over on Friday and he wanted to play some Marvel so we played that and I got some achievements in that. As for the breaking 20k achievement, I wanted it to be something kinda funny so I picked the banana one because that was the funniest in the game I thought. And last night I got my 1,000th achievement. I didn't want it to be anything specific so I just let the game go on as I normally would. I think I can actually get all the achievements in Lego Indiana Jones now so I'm happy! I also played some COD4 and I'm finally 4th prestige! Of course I played some Rock Band and had some fun. I plan on going to my friend's house this weekend so if you want to play anything on Friday night just hit me up we'll probably play Battlefield 1943, Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, and maybe some other stuff...? Lastly, I will probably be ordering my Alienware laptop this week so I plan on getting back into WoW later this month. Lastly (again), I'm in the Xbox Live Update Preview Program so I have the new update and I find myself cool to be in it.

Until next time, that is all.

So to close in on 20k I plan on playing some more Lego Indiana Jones. I sucked out as many achievements in Guitar Hero as I could. Also, I bet you all are wondering what I got with my points after I bought Battlefield 1943 so here's the list of songs that I got. Yep, I bought Rock Band songs because I didn't feel like adding to the pile of games I need to play. So here's the songs I picked up (all of them are fun):

"Snow (Hey Oh)" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Tell Me Baby" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Renegade" - Styx
"Behind Blue Eyes" - The Who
"Last Resort" - Papa Roach

I plan on getting a job at the college I will be attending next month so more points and games will be coming but not for a while. Except for Modern Warfare 2 which I still have the Hardened Edition pre-ordered. If I get a job soon enough, than I may go for the night vision goggles one.

Until next time, I'm off to play some Lego Indy!

An All Around Update

Well I said there was going to be a blog in the coming days and here it is. There is going to be some interesting stuff in here but first I want to start this with a question. I got 2000 MS points yesterday and I spent 1200 points on Battlefield 1943, and it's awesome, but now I have 800 points left over and I don't know what to spend it on. So here are the choices I have and I think I know what everyone's going to say:

  • 'Splosion Man
  • The Maw
  • Rock Band songs
  • Monkey Island

I could just get some more points but I'd prefer not to do that. Anyways, please help me solve this dilemma. I would've got Fallout 3 DLC but I won't be playing that for a while and I'm not even that far in it yet. Okay, now for the cool stuff. First, I got the new Microsoft Arc USB wireless mouse for my laptop because I'm sick of the touch pad. That's minor compared to what's next. In a few weeks, I will be getting this. It's the Alienware M17x gaming laptop. The only difference from what you see on the site is that instead of red lights they will be green. I'm not getting this just for gaming (although that's part of it) but I'm getting because on August 31st I start college and, as some of you may know, I will be going into become a level designer in the game industry. I want a gaming laptop to make sure it will have the right graphics. The specs that I want, and can afford, are these:
  • Windows Vista Home Premium (already have) + Windows 7 upgrade coupon
  • Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz (3MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
  • Single NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M, 1GB (good enough I don't need the best)
  • 17-inch WideUXGA 1920x1200 (1200p) (HD, baby!)
  • 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1333MHz
  • 1TB - 2x 500GB 7,200RPM - RAID 0
  • Slot-Load Dual Layer Blu-ray Combo (BR-ROM, DVD+-RW, CD-RW) (I don't know, I might stick with DVD. But, it's Blu-Ray!)
  • 4Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis
  • World of Warcraft Preinstall Edition (gotta have WoW pre-installed. hey, it's free!)

So that's that. I know, you probably are going to say it's crappy or I could do better but this is what I can afford and this is what I want. I'm also getting a 1TB external hard drive to help back up everything. Anyways, please comment, I'd love to hear your feedback on this stuff.

Until next time, I'm done with Guitar Hero: Smash Hits.
