I only met Ryan Davis once, it was a memorable experience, he was amazingly nice, and high energy, he also liked to say it as he saw it. Today I found out about his death via a text from a friend, I was at work, I almost fell down, got weak in the knees, and basicly could not stop sniffling, then once I was done the job I was on I sat down in my truck and could not help but start crying. I can...

A few weeks ago I went to go see Rammstein in Vancouver. Being on of my favourite bands, this was my first concert ever, it was pretty crazy. I was a bit nervous I guess to start, I went in the mosh-pit for like three minutes, someone shoved me pretty hard, so I shoved back even harder, he went down, and took three other guys with him, it was fun, my friend helped them up, we got pretty close a...

Some may have seen my post two weeks ago about me hurting my shoulder while doing over head dumbbell press, this really sucked for me as I love weightlifting, and it has become a large part of my life. Well after two weeks off I went in today to see how I was feeling, it went quite well, and fortunately I can still do outward pressing movements, and biceps till it heals fully, so that is what I...

As of late my life has basicly been video games and the gym, I am currently unemployed as it is hard to find work where I'm from, going to go to school so I think, any ways so like I said, my life, it is gym, and games. On Friday I went into town to get a good workout at my favourite gym, it was going to be shoulders and back day, I was phyced, ready to go, after a bit of stretching, and a warm...

A long time goal of mine has been to be able to bench press 315 pounds. Some of you may have seen my thread about this, well today I reached a milestone into stonghood. As you can see I am pretty happy about this, just wanted to share some success toward a goal. This has been many months of non-stop work, I can't wait too finally push three plates!

Duder I have been waiting two weeks and the time has come. I am aware that I have no life for being this excited for this shirt but hey, it summarizes my love for Giantbomb so well!

Spoilers include Gears of war 2 and 3, Mass effect 3 the demo, Halo:Reach, COD 4, Braid, Half-life EP 2, and the Darkness. Over the years video games have been one of my most loved things, being it for realese from the outside world, my imagination, or just loving the feel, and just plain fun of them, they have been a large part of my life. I started out with a Snes in 1996 I believe the year w...

I have finally passed 40,000 gamerscore, I have also at this point only one more achievement to get in Halo CEA, "Speed reader" beet the Library in under 30 minutes, I'm not too worried about it though. I have this thing with having to get every achievement in every Halo game, now that Reach has more achievements and some of them being very hard it is killing me. I got an email from Microsoft s...

Pax truly was a great experience, I got to play some games, eat some great food, see Seattle, and best of all meet some people. I also got first question at the Giantbomb panel and the Halo universe panel! Here are some of the people I met. My meeting of Brad was a bit short but sweet, he was quiet but very nice. He made me feel alright about coming up and bugging him to get a picture, and talk...

I have had the game on the N-64 for years and played it oh so many times, I how ever never got around to beating it as the factory world was always the point that I lost my momentum. The same went for the original Banjo Kazooie having owned them both for years but never completing them. When Banjo-Kazooie N&B came out it was about a month before I could afford it, luckily a friend had an extra...
