SERENITY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

*UBER SPOILER ALERT!!!!! TURN BACK NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT IT RUINED FOR YOU*
Hey all! Sorry to come back so abruptly but there's something I need to adress. Over the past few months I have fallen in love with the TV show "Firefly", it was perhaps the greatest show that I have ever seen period. I loved the writing, the design, the music, everything was perfect! So now you know where I'm coming from when I say that "Serenity" was perhaps the greatest murder of any television show in the history of cinema! The lighting is gloomy, the characters morphed into cardboard cut-outs, and I find it hard to believe that Joss Whedon had anything to do with this F!@# fest of a movie! The main problem was that Whedon was given a tiny budget, 50 days to shoot, and had to convert the entire second season into a two hour movie! It's like putting vomit, chewed gum and cat poop into a blender, what do you expect!? The biggest problem is disapointment. My rage quelled, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't anything good about this movie. The acting is good for the most part, and the special effects are really nice. And there are still little hints of firefly mixed in, but that's the problem! It's 10% firefly 90% bull s#!*! For everything good, there are two things bad. "Hooray! The whole cast is back toogether! Oh, why are they all acting like they hate each other? Hooray we get to see Inara again! Wait, she has next to no lines. Hooray an epic space battle! OH F@#$ing HELL! WHY IN THE HELL DID THEY KILL HIM OFF!!!!!!" That was the final point where I felt like turning this movie off, when I saw the deaths of *WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!! SUPER MEGA ULTIMATE SPOILERS!!! LEAVE NOW AND REPORT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AT THE * TO AVOID THE WORST SPOILER IN THE 'VERSE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!
Wash and Book. What...the...F@#$. They took to major characters and just flat out killed them off. Book wasn't so bad, he went out fighting, and you felt sad but not enraged. Thet gave him an epic death scene and had all the sad music, but Wash died almost as an after thought! He was just sitting down after saving all of their lives and BOOM! He get's impalled and dies, I clocked it at 5 seconds! Say it with me! B-U-L-L-S-@-$-%!!!! He was my absolute favorite character, and he just died. He might as well have slipped on a banna peel and broken his neck! Whoops! Crack! Dead. As I watched this movie I slowly watched as all pieces of firefly slowly trickled away. I could feel myself re-writing half the scenes as I watched them. But the movie was still a success, because of all the people who HADN'T SEEN THE SERIES! Since Wash and Book got bassically no screen time in this movie, anyone who didn't know them would just see them as minor expendable characters, and that's why not as many people hate this movie.




*Final verdict. If you hadn't seen the series, it was a good movie. If you had seen the series my god did this dissapoint me. Whedon clearly is better at doing shows. I hereby completely reject this movie. In my Plotline, it didn't happen. I actually prefer the Fan fic versions (Now that's scary). Picture you're eating this movie, you might as well be eating worms since it's so nasty adn unbeleivable, your brain just barfs it back up. For new people who haven't seen either, pick the show, it's better written, better handled, and not full of crap. Avoid this movie. I expected so much more.

Hey all!

No posts in a long time I know. The Surfers movie is really coming along. Once we finish the last couple of scenes and fix the crappy editing software, it's gonna be sweet. It's almost the end of summer :( and it feels like it started both last week, and last century. Y'know what that feels like? It feels pretty surreal to think that I'm going to be in high school, I just hope The homework doesn't completely bury me. To all who play on Steam, if you want to join me for some tf2 or some Alien Swarm, my account is "deep predator" (named after my book) no spaces but my stupid computer has an auto spell check so it won't let me spell it without spaces. That's my one major beef with all computers! They constantly use the "in order to serve you better" mind set. All these things think they know better than us. It helps some of the time, but most of the time it just gets In the way! Any way, you know my Steam account now, so take a look when you get a chance. More later. Bye.

OMGWTFBBQ HUGE STORM!!!!!!!!!

Hey all, you will never guess what happened. I m resting in bed in the middle of the night, when I hear this massive KABOOM! I look outside an dit looks like friken huricane katrina came back for more! There's things blowing all over the place trees being knocked over and the locals are hanging onto the trees yeling "WE LOVE IT HERE!" (Just kidding). So we figure it would be smart to unplug some things from the wall. An djust as we go over to do just that, the power goes out!
so we finish unplugging things and head back to bed. I wake up the next morning and guess what? It turns out that practically the whole town lost power, and they still haven't got it back! The good news, the chaos resulted in a day off from school, the bad news, we had no power for quite a while. As I'm writing this meesage, it must mean that we managed to get power back, otherwise I wouldn't have internet access though, so all's well that ends well I guess. We've got power and it seems that all of my friends are free, so tody will turn out okay after all. Even so, my friend Ross actually got to watch the power go out. He saw a tree cut the lines, and a bolt of lightning nearly hit his house! Things are pretty nasty right now, but we did manage to save the food in the fridge. That's all for now.

BAD MOVIE!!!

Hey, hope you liked the chapter. I just HAD to say this as a bonus. I just watched the movie Sky captain and the world of tommorw and MAN IS IT BAD! I got it for $0.99 though, so you get what you pay for. The concept of advanced 1940's technology and action cliffhanger homages sounds cool on paper, and I can easily see how executices and the general public would eat the idea up, but the payoff is just BAD. A D+ movie with a B- plot. My biggest complaint is definetly how thwey just leave the whole "World of tommorw" Thing until the last five minutes. Thats like leaving the entire concept to the end. Like if no one even mentioned doctor no until the end! Not even a whisper. And the movie plays out like harry potter, everything feels rushed! It even has the Courage to claim that it co-stars Angelina Jolie, when she gets a grand total of five minutes of screen time tops! The movioe was overhyped, had bad special FX, and the acting was too corny. And I haven't even gotten started on the constant Deos ex machina plot convieniance. Bottom line, avoid this movie

First chapter!

Alright people, this is the first chapter of my book: Deep Predator. I highly recomend that you copy and paste this into a seperate window, reading it all via blog would suck. Also, one reader has offered to make some cover art, hope that comes through, and I will post it here.





What does it feel like to die? This is the question that only those we have lost can answer. And those we have lost can't answer it because they're lost aren't they? But I know what it's like to almost die, allot of us do, predator pilots. Let me bring you up to speed. My name is Leo Admen but my call sign is Jet, so that's who I refer to my self as. I'm a pilot for a Predator class fighter, which you could have deduced from my big dramatic opening. For those not familiar with GF (Galactic Federation) Affairs, the Predator is a series of small space fighters, I pilot the "C" class, which is the most balanced between speed and power. There are also T, S, F,B, O, and P class, all with different specs and advantages. C's look like a pair of pistols with an orb connecting them in the middle (The cockpit) and I shall explain the rest of the fighter's as they come up. Predator fighters are stored and launched from combat cruisers. The fleet has many types and classes, I crew as a pilot on an ACP class cruiser (ACP= all combat purposes) called the "Atlantis", she has a noble history, state of the art technology blah, blah, blah, go to a museum if you want her back story. She's about the size of a sky scraper building, only a little more aerodynamically shaped if you know what I mean. Her home port is a small planet similar to earth called Matelion (Mat-ell-ee-un). It has cities, towns, and most importantly, military basses, the only one orbiting it is where the Atlantis spends allot of it's time, since in this war, this sector is mostly left alone. That's right, I said WAR! The GF is currently at war with a group of terrorists called "The Conjunction", they all come from various worlds, and all joined for different reasons, the point is, they want the whole GF dead (This means yours truly). They make a decent threat, and we have to swat them out. I'm in this war as part of the space force, but I do sometimes end up on the ground (Which sucks) getting shot at. I have enough skill to make it out in one piece either way, but I prefer the space front. I think I have given you enough background to understand what's going on now right? You're also probably getting bored of my talking, so enough with the prologue, time to start kicking.
I woke up staring at a steel ceiling like every other day. Crewing aboard the Atlantis is a boring job most of the time. Just running drills and only getting into combat here and there. Today however, we were being forced to make a big deal of a new crop of pilots being rotated aboard. There was a big welcoming ceremony, and some of us were going to be given new wingmen. I was still crossing my fingers, hoping that I could stick with Dark Side, he might be a little weird, but at least he knows how to fly a Predator. Every “C” class pilot is pared up with a “T” class pilot to work as a team. T ships have large domes on the front that flip open as cockpits, and what look like trombone slides with tiny wings sticking out from the bottom attached to the sides. They’re built more for power than for speed. I stretched and flipped the covers off, I could tell that it was going to be a long day.
The cafeteria was crowded and noisy like every other day, I couldn’t remember if this jarring pain was coming from a hangover, or I just had a really bad headache. I ordered the usual stuff, a bowl of vitamin crap and a glass of guava juice. The vitamin crap is breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you get to pick from a wide variety of beverages though. The headache/hangover had come most likely as a result of stress, one way or another; I had been worried about my ground duty. A pilot has to serve as a marine first, and there’s been talk of transferring some pilots back to the ground division to make room for the new pilots. I can’t go back, not again. I can’t go back to the confusion, the gunfire, the death. I belong on the space front. So this possibility scared me out of my flight suit. I pulled up a seat at the nearest table, Dark Side, Spin-Out, and a couple of other pilots were sitting there. Spin-Out is both my best friend and my rival; we went through flight school, ground duty, and now Predator duty together. We called him Spin-Out because that’s what he does when there’s a bogey on his tail. Does a 180 and shoots it between the eyes. Spin-Out nodded in my direction, Dark Side just stared at the wall as usual. That’s what it’s like with Dark Side; he doesn’t talk much, just stares and looks like he’s concentrating real hard.
“Still not talking huh D?” I asked him. He shook his head and continued to stare. He only talked when he was in combat, and he still only talked to give directions or warn me of something when he was out on the space front. He’s just weird that way. Spin-Out on the other hand; we can’t get him to stop talking. Whether it’s cracking a stupid joke, or just blabbing about current events, it’s all Spin all the time. I’m the only one who just talks normally, so I suppose I balance the group.
“Think you’ll get a new wingman Jet?” Spin-Out asked.
“Dunno, if I do think you’ll be sad to see me go D?” I responded. Dark Side said nothing.
“Personally, I can’t wait to dump the newbie I’ve been dragging around!” Spin-Out continued
“Who, Face Plant?” I asked.
“Haven’t you ever wondered where he got that call-sign?” Spin-Out continued “The guy can’t even climb into the cockpit without falling over, and he flies like his foot’s been glued to the brake!” He complained.
“Oh well. You here that they’re gonna start transferring people to ground duty, think we’ll end up down there?” I asked.
“No way man, not if they have to drag me kicking and screaming! Don’t they know pilots don’t belong on the ground?” He responded. “Especially after what happened to y… Oh” I downed my breakfast and stood up.
“The ceremony starts in an hour, we should get going,” I said. I left the cafeteria, Spin-Out called after me “Sorry, about that…” I ignored him. I trooped back to my quarters. As I crossed the room, I looked around. It was a small room with metal walls, a poster for the strike ball league back on Aldren, A cabinet for clothes, and a small bed. I opened the cabinet and pulled out my “Good” uniform, it was going to be a long day for sure.
What happened? I was forced onto ground duty once. It was utter chaos and mayhem. My squad had to retreat, they were all killed. Since that day, I have sworn never to work ground ever again.
“All stand ready!” Shouted the colonel. I jerked myself awake, I had dozed through the first part of the ceremony. The new pilots trooped past us to get their assignments and orination. The usual generic fanfare was playing from the overhead speakers as they walked through the main door. I was standing in the presentation area, residing in the rear end of the ship. It’s nothing fancy to look at, just an auditorium like any other. “Alright maggots! Time to start your new life! The following will be transferred to ground duty: Artemis, Loud-Mouth, Gas-Clot,” The colonial announced. A few pilots stepped forward, no one I knew. “Combustor, Sting, And Wimp-Out.” He finished. I let out a sigh of relief, and I heard a few others do the same. I knew none of the pilots by name, but I had heard their call-signs tossed around on the hanger deck, nothing special, just names without faces. If there's one noise that scares the crap out of any rookie pilot, it's the condition red alarm, and this is what we heard now. We all jumped and turned to face the speaker on the wall.
"Attention all units man your combat ready stations, we are now in condition red! All pilots please report to launch bays! Conjunction attack force of uncertain size approaching! This is not a drill repeat..." Shouted the communications officer. There was panic in his voice; this was not a good situation. All of us raced for the exit. I dashed down corridor after corridor passing officers running in all directions. I stopped thinking and let my body carry itself to the fighter deck. Past the gun command, hang a right, proceed to deck 5. I finally reached my "C" class and grabbed my pressure suit off the wall. 2 deck hands were detaching the fuel line and a 3rd was loading my guns.
"What's going on? Conjunction never come this far into our territory!" He shouted to me.
"I don't know, but they're about to remember why they never come this far into our territory." I said pulling on my helmet. I locked the helmet with a resounding "Click" And started the oxygen flow. The deck hand passed me my flight package and shouted
"Saddle up and give 'em hell!" The flight package is essentially your flight controls. They're kept separate so you can't fly unless authorized. Some have a wheel, whereas "C" class has the standard flight stick. I plugged in the package and after a few moments of locking and clicking, she was plugged in and ready to fly. I switched on all of my systems. Thrusters, communications, weapons, all on.
"Jet here, ready for launch." I shouted to the deck master.
"Rodger, you are with launch group 2, stand by to be transported to launch tube." he responded. I hit a button and switched over to my wingman's channel.
"You ready to go D?" I asked. Dark-Side grunted over his line to say yes. A loader locked onto the front of my Predator and started towing me toward my launch tube. I switched to the combat channel so I could hear the rest of the fighters. Combat channel is what you use during the battle. A message came from the deck chief
"Group 1 is ready for launch, we have now confirmed that there is only 1 enemy attack craft". That was some good news, it made my job a whole lot easier. "Launch in 3, 2, 1, clear!" there was the usual loud blast of combined thruster fire and pneumatic punch used to break a fighter free from the ships gravitational pull and launch them into battle. The loader towed me over to the tube and locked me into the puncher. The loader detached and drove out of the tunnel, the airlock closing behind it. Ahead of me was a tunnel of blackness with a heavy steel door keeping the pressure in. Another message came over the comlink from the deck master.
“Group 2 is in the tubes, stand by!” I felt the familiar tug in my gut, the excitement of battle, my skills waking up, I was ready to kick some conjunction @$$. The door was open, And the Deck master called “Group 2 launch in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Clear!” I slammed my foot into the accelerator. There was a blast, and I was forced back against my seat. I felt the force stop, and I was on the battlefield. A message came from Tail Burn: the group leader.
“All ships, stay with your wingman and head for those fighters, leave the Cruiser to Atlantis!” I broke off and headed for the largest group of fighters. Conjunction fighters look like The heads of tridents, but with guns instead of points.
“D, stay on my wing, slice through that squadron!” I shouted.
“Rodger” He responded. I was surprised for a moment until I remembered that he talked when he was on the space front. The fighters didn’t even see us coming, I locked onto the nearest one and pulled the trigger. There was the loud thumping of discharging bullets, followed by a small explosion. I was in my element, I pulled a hard left and shot down another, and another, and another. I stopped thinking, and let my body do the work. I finally pulled up when there were only 2 fighters left in the squadron. They both fled realizing that they were outmatched. The weird thing was that Dark-Side hadn’t fired a single shot.
“D, wake up! Start shooting!” I shouted to him. He didn’t respond. I accelerated and headed for the 2 stragglers from the last squad. I got on ones tail and he tried to shake me. I corrected and took him down easily. I started heading back for the rest of the fight. Spin-Out had just toasted another fighter with his trademarked 180, but Tailburn had one on his tail and couldn’t shake him! I reeled over towards him and punched the accelerator. He saw me coming and shouted
“Buzz off Jet! Mind your own business!”
“And leave you to get killed!? Tempting, but I think not.” I adjusted my self so that I was running straight for the fighter, and a beeping sound caught my ear, that little pain had locked onto him! I had three seconds tops, so I pulled the trigger. No wait, I was too early! I managed to scorch the end of Tailburn’s wing, but I hit the enemy fighter too.
“Watch it!” He shouted to me.
“You’re welcome!” I responded I veered off and headed back towards Dark-Side who had been standing idly by waiting for me. Wait! There was one on my tail and it was about to shoot! There was a burst of fire, and it vanished. Another fighter veered off and I heard someone shout
“You’re welcome too hot shot!” It wasn’t Tail burn, it was a woman and it was one of the rookies! I guess they weren’t so bad after all. I veered back towards Dark Side. This was weird, he hadn’t even fired a shot so far. He came through on the comlink
“Jet, I can’t fire! Something’s wrong!” He had started heading for the enemy cruiser. “I don’t have control over my thrusters! I’m heading straight for that battery fire!” And he was. A few seconds and he would be caught in the cross fire between the 2 ships. “I can’t control it!” He shouted in panic.
“Eject, Eject!” I screamed at him. But it was too late. There was an explosion, and my wingman was gone.

Whoops!

Hey all! I havent posted in forever. I have alot to do, and my blog had to take back seat.I have a new movie in the works! It's a matrix like story with alot of cheap action sequences. I have also acquired a new piece of software for my computer called "Fraps", which alows me to screen cap. footage! I can't hook it to my TV though, so I have to do it the old fasioned way in that department. I have also been wondering if you guys would be interested in reading the book I've been writing. It's sort of like Battlestar Galactica. The people I've shown the first couple of chapters to have said they really like it. I was thinking about publishing it one chapter at a time, sort of like a weekly thing (Yes, I will actually publsih this one weekly >:( ). Tell me what you think of the idea! The book is called "Deep Predator", and honestly, It can be a book, movie, whatever. I'm just hoping to get it out into the world. Hope you like the idea, tell me what you think.

Sorry about the lack of updates!

Things have been a little hectic, so I'm going to write weekly, rather than daily. This week was interesting. I had MCAS for 2 days, a ton of social studies home work, and my half sister, brother in law, and nephew coming out to visit. They stayed overnight and we went to see "How to train your dragon". I went in expecting an overhyped, poorly planed cop-out of a movie, but it wasn't actually that bad. The animation really had attentiong to detail, even though the movie was basically Eragon + every single viking sterotype in existance. My nephew is getting to be a real gamer, and he has started getting magic cards. I looked through them, what he called a deck, was bassically just a pile of cards. I took what he had and made a basic deck out of it. It's pretty weak, but it can grow over time. But byfar the wierdest thing that hapened to me this week, was some guy gropping me in gym! I'm serious! It was probably just some stupid joke, and I told the guy to go jump off a cliff, but he tries it again, and I'm gonna sue that sick **** for sexual harrasment. But odds are, he was just making some stupid joke, I don't know the guy by name, but I know him for doing stupid stuff like that, he's just one of those wierdo's who'll do anyhting for attention. Even grabbing another guys pecktoral. Sorry to end on such a wierd note, but that was bassically all that happened of any real signifigence. Writing more next sunday, hope you all had a nice easter.

Haricuts and firearms


All things considered, it was a pretty cool day. First I had my haircut, which was alright, I figured it was about time I tried something on the short side. I mostly just sat around and waited, listening to my ipod. After the haircut, I grabbed some lunch at the same place I always do after a haircut: The blue bonnet in north hampton. It's a nice place with class A burgers! When I came home, I tried connecting my computer to the HDTV. It looked great, and I could finally play Halo full screen. I then had my firearms training class, which was pretty boring. We didn't get to actually shoot, just talk about the laws and regulations. Around here, you #$%^ up once, you lose that license for life! Next time I'm actually going to get to shoot, and some good did come out of that class. I now know all of the basic laws, and in one year I can aply for a basic firearms license! Tommorow morning is paintball! Here's hoping I don't get pegged to much!

Bowling with Mr. Annoyo!


School: Boring. Aftr school: Bowling! My friend Tommy decided to celebrate his birthday by taking a couple firends kendle pin bowling! The game was good (I scored pretty low), but the pain was caused by my other friend (Name not mentioned here). He's one of those people who acts like a complete @$$ in an attempt to get attention. You know anyone like that? Honestly, The one thing we're all afraid to tell him is "We know you think you're being funny, but all your doing is agravating us!" Even if you told him, he wouldn't listen. Other than that, the night went off pretty well. I also got to try out my new magic deck against the birthday boy himself. Tommy has been playing magic practically since the game was invented! I would have won if I was playing against anyone else. Tommorow i have a haircut and firearms training. Hope all goes well.

All is forgiven


Thursday, nothing much to say. My band teacher did say that he was sorry he stromed out of the band room and that he had just been really frustrated already that day, and we just had band practice as usual. That was nice, and it really took alot of my shoulders. I had a test in math that I did pretty well on, and That was just about it. I have Tommy's party tomorow and I waited this long to get him a present! Oops! Good thing I know what he likes!

The wednesday of boredom


Talk about average! Nothing of any real signifigance happend today. In gym we played volleyball, and since it was just all of my freinds in a group and none of us really keep score or know the rules, it was the GOOD type of anarchy. But in drama, the *Beep!* hit the fan about yesterday's movie disaster. My drama teacher gave us a really good speech about how we can't afford to cut corners. It made me feel realy bad, even though I didn't even do anything. She then just switched back to her normal self and put us into our groups as usual. I'm doing "Ferris Bueler's day off" And most of my friends are in my group, so I get to do a fun play with friends. After school, I had my clarinet lesson. I still take lessons even though I'm in band. I take lessons from my elementary band teacher: Sue Dunbar. She's really nice, and helps me to write out songs that I like so I can play them on the clarinet. We didn't do much today though, wrote out the start of a coldplay song and worked on a song for band that I was having trouble with. I finally came home, did laundry, my only sheet of homework (light this evening), and started writing my blog as usual. Tomorrow I have band, And I don't know if he'l just write out tuesday's top blowing, or talk to us about it. We'll see!

People won't SHUT UP!!!


Today was average in every respect except one. It started in band class when one guy just wouldn't stop talking, and on top of that, he forgot his instrument and had to borrow one. Finally, My band teacher told him to put the trombone away and told him to sit apart from the others and not talk. And after that, one girl was chewing gum while playing the flute! How do you so that!? He told her to spit it out, and she said she'd just swallow it (wierd), but she was still chewing it later! OMG! He just said "Forget it, pack up, wait for the bell". We only had a couple of minutes left, but for my band teacher who is mr. calm, cool and collected, this was new. I just figured it was a one time thing and waited for the bell. Things got worse in drama class. Our teacher was out, so we got to watch "Witness for the Prosecution". It was supposedly a great murder mystery, but I couldn't tell because people wouldn't stop talking!!! I had to contain myself from turning around and just flat out saying "Shut Up!". It wasn't all of them just a select few. My drama class has some great people, but we also ended up with the 4-5 people who always seem to ruin it for the rest of us. I missed most of the dialog and at one point just wanted to scream. And guess what? The same guy who forgot his trombone was one of the ones talking! The guy is physically incapable of keeping his mouth shut! AAAARRRGGGH! Tomorow should be better though. I also rented a couple of movies. I saw Fantastic Mr. Fox. I thought it was a pretty good movie, but I probably would have liked it more if I'd read the book. I did like how they flashed the names of the chapters that each scene was based on over them. Nice touch that told the die hard fans that they were trying to stick close to the original story. I have a clarinet lesson tomorrow, Bowling with my friend Tommy (Yes, we both have the same name which gets VERY confusing) on friday, and a haircut folowed by firearms training on saturday. It peomises to be an interesting rest of the week.

BSG Fanmade game?

Today was just another day. School was boring but sufferable, and in PE we plaayed basket ball so it wasn't all bad. When I came home I played some Halo and did my home work. But then when I was curious about the battle star galactica PC game, I found out about the two fan made games. One is called BSG Beyond the red line. Both games are mods of freespace 2, and alot of the developers of BTRL left to make BSG Diaspora. This game looks even better!But the last post on the official web site is from 5 months ago! Is it still being made!? And what about BTRL!? I need to know if the games are still being made! Please to anyone who knows tell me!!!!!!! I'm also thinking about getting the pc game. Even though it's supposed to suck, it's the only complete game and I need my BSG in game form. Anyone who knows about the development of either of the freespace 2 mod games PLEASE TELL ME!

Paintballs and imovie anger


I got to try out paintball today! I wore some old sweat pants and a heavy jaket for protection. I was using a standard gas opperated semi-auto. The mask I used didn't exactly fit me well, so it kept sliding infront of my eyes when I was running. I know I got one kill for sure, one I thinkI got, and the rest I could never tell! We played at Ross's dad's friends house, he had a small wood lined with bunkers and a three story tree house. The game went well, and I have a couple of welts to prove it! Ross's dad was the one who tosted me, 2 head shots, one back shot, and an @$$ shot! I got him back though with the only kill I know I got. Over all, I wasted some ammo because they aren't very acurate, and I was rather trigger happy. Still fun, you just gotta rinse the paint out of your hair and move on. I deccided to make a new video about a wii ware title: Contra Rebirth. So I shot it, and when I tried to copy my new intro sequence from my unreleased project I couldn'y figure out how to do it! Turns out that there's no way to combine projects in imovie 09! AAAARRRRGGGH!!! Until I find a way around this, my new video is on hold. Sorry guys. I got my homework done, but my mom made me look over it. For dinner I had chinese, but my regular place doesn't surve on sundays! So I had to wait another 10 minutes while the place my parrents go to added an order of general tso's to the order. I gotta thank my dad for that, I would have had to eat cereal! I also beat my first game of civ 4 (Diplomatic victory), great feeling. School tomorrow, got PE, hope I don't end up playing that same insane scoooter game.

Another Day...


Forgot to write yesterday! So I'll do 2 days in one. School was boring as ever, and after school I went to play yard strike at Ross's, but his foot was still in bad shape! WE ung around, played magic, halo, and finished up with a game of poker. I lost all but one hand! Thank god that wasn't a casino. When he dropped me off at home, Ross's dad said that if he could find a gun for me to borow, that I could go play paintball with him and Ross on Sunday! Hope I can go, I've been playing so many FPS's that I want to go see what it would be like to actually be in the action.
Today I enjoyed the insanely warm weather and decided to stop by my local retro game store. X9 games is run by a guy named Seth. I go there alot, so he knows I look for retro games. They also sell magic cards so I really like browsing. When I told him I had a ps2 but had never played a ps1 and wanted to try it out, he grabbed an old memory card and a copy of metal gear solid for me! I can finally say that I'm trying this classic out. So far I suck at it, but it all takes time. Hoping to play paintball, and hoping I can actually clear revolver osselot!

First Post


Welcome! This is a blog simply folowin gthe day to day activities of The Game Buster (Tom). Today was just an average school day. There were a few interesting events here and there though. It was a late start day for The Amherst school district so I got to sleep in for an hour, and with daylight savings taking it's tole, I needed that! And in PE, since we had a shorter class than usual, my group got to play this wierd game where everyone was on scooters (Those little flat rolling things, not the kind you see kids riding on)and we had to try to score a basket into a hoop that was attached to another scooter that the golie was riding! It sounded fun, but a couple of idiots started getting up off of thier scooters and just plain actiong like morons and soon the whole game just flat out fell apart. I was planning to hang out with my friend Ross after school, but he had engeniering club so I figured I might as well jsut head home and call him later since we both live pretty close to each other. But then as I was heading up the hill behind the school to get home, I just looked out and saw what a nice day it was, and decided to just wait until club was over and just hang out here. I got most of my homework done while I was waiting, and it was just suvh a nice day that I didn't even mind waiting! Call me a nature geek, but I don't do that often, and it's nice to just sit around and think sometimes. When I cought up with Ross we headed back to his place a recorded a quick instructuonal video on how to play the sport we invented called "Yard Strike". all who are interested in this sport, I have another blog set up about it and how the win/loss recored is going, and stuff like that. When we were done with the game, we headed in and played a few games of Magic (Yes I play magic). Ross solidly kicked my @$$. And lastly I came home and started writing this blog. hope you like,and keep watching on youtube to any of my fans who've found this blog.
