Added Dungeon Siege Review.

To every one who got off this weekend I hope you got time to spend with your families. I -- however enjoyed 10 hours fun playing Diablo I and Dungeon Siege. Dungeon Siege came out this year. However I been able spend time on it. Yeah it may not be the greatest game in the world but it is fun. >> My Review << Thats what counts. I haven't played DS all day. I ate a heafty thanksgiving dinner with my family. Not all things have gone well. I had to make decisions whether or not they bettered my life. One of my duties is I have to answer to a school adminastater and she asks me what I want to do. Hey and my goal in becoming one of those Unix technicians is becoming reality. I have my second class set up "Intro to Unix" One thing I didn't like in the past is that I dealt with too many operating systems exspecially that icky Windows Operating System. To be honest even though Unix is easier to use through the terminal -- it's stupid installing wizard isn't as easy as Windows. But its perfect for moving and creating files. That's why I am excited to become a Unix Techician or Programmer. I haven't decided yet. But the big money seems to be with Linux/Unix in terms of business. It's a winner! Looks like Linux and I have a life long envestment. I will be growing wiskers this because stare at a computer screen and then climb into bed without a shower

Added new favorites above this paragraph on scroll bar. Added pen and paper section to Index.html

Today I sampled some freegames off Megagames.com. In my opionion I thought that this game called Stuntfighter was the best of them all. I stayed over at my friends house. It would have been a ordinary weekend of I didn't. But since I like to treat every day as an experience to remember - I'll even get into that part of my day. When I first arrived he had a real 2 foot sword. Even though it was a replica of a old one and didn't cost that much it was still cool. I brought my camera and should of took a picture of me posing a attack stance with me jabbing something with it. Only danger was that it was also sharp. He also owned a smaller sword.

We played Vampire of the Mascerades (first time I played pen and paper RPG) Bob created the level system. You know he had the combat all planned out and the easiest way to play the game is using dices. So imagine that you role them 2 times if the first time you get 4 and above. We say 4 is weak and 6 is direct hit on other Vampires. So I use to convense Bob to up the weapon section so I had 2 weapons - a M16 Sub-rifle with a 2 foot blade that automatically does 1+ to hit damage. His role was narrator and all the enemies. Since the highest role the second can be 6 it would always be 7 instead of 6. Most of the time bob made the enemies twice as strong as me. So I gained "little experience" But I could still wope there ass from how we were playing. It was fun and I ended up blowing up Chicago by strapping one teammate to C4 using a Rocket Launcher when she got into the hideout. So there it goes. One crazy story from my friend. I said to him we should of taped this and he said to me naw people would of though we where crazy ;).

I tried drawing up a town called Biohazard. No it didn't have a nuclear falcoly. But it did have a Burger King and more warehouses included. I used the same weapon system as Bobs.

Flash (.swf) added to this page; changed scrollbar to bluish shadowish bar.

I Today would be another normal day for me but I can't really say if it has been a above average experience or below average experience. It all started when I stayed up until 3 and worked on the school website. Despite that little fact that it would of looked better if I spent more time on it, it still have a edge to it that looks better then the old Renessiance Academy homepage. That's when I had a problem with the floopy drive of my computer. So I won't be able to tell vistors (if I have any visitors) on this webpage what it plays like. The gamecube page many times. That's why it looks so good in my opinion because at first it was only mumble-jumbo.

I didn't make the A-honor role. The reasons was I failed that BAT test at collage. (Test on bat files) It brought my grade down to a 78%. Well this site is not a diary but a latest videogame updates. So here's some scores on Games which Gamecube has that make Gamecube the second most bought console in todays age. Its interesting that people with a Playstation 2 is more likely to buy a Gamecube then a Xbox. So the number PS2 owners who went out buying a Gamecube is greater then Gamecube owners who don't have a PS2!

Today wasn't much of a "buzy" day. However I was able to burn music CDs including "System of the Down - Toxic City" and "Nickelback" on one cd. And I found "12 Stones" and added songs to another disc. I played a little Chrono Cross. I didn't work on my website but I spent some of the day watching the orginal Jonny Quest on tape. Yeah it was a waste of my time. But well I wanted to watch the whole thing. Metroid Prime is coming out in 2 days. I may be getting myself a copy before to long. I don't have too but what makes this game fun is the ability to shoot "metroids" in large highly detailed levels unlike some PC ports of FPS like 007 Nightfire.

I uploaded Diablo 2 saved game characters. Download ZIP file.

Changed website and ported old stuff with new look

I took this design off another website and customized it to this website. Its the first site that had cell backgrounds. Its the first time I've worked with cell backgrounds. It looks pretty good for a small personal webpage. I worked out all the bugs on this page. You must approve on the reddish side bar used to scroll. That's awesome!

Do you ever have one of those days where you get up from chair and go off talking. Damn sometimes I feel like the same students who are in the same room as I am this don't talk about me because I wonder if I want to go back to the public school. Yeah it may be nonsense to go back to a high school you got out of for your hard work and achievements but then your mother gets on your "miserable" life at school. What are you going to do .... your mother is the only one who cares for you feeds you and does your laundry and if you get on her good side she'll even go to town.

I had a lot to do today. I saw Star Wars Episode II on DVD. If you seen Star Wars then you would know that it shouldn't be this romatic. I told Dan this and we had a few chuckles. Star Wars was filled with action. The Republic's Army against the clones. Hmm would this mean that that alien species that in a way looks like ET are against the Republic? Most of us know the rest. It's touchy. Worst of all doesn't the senator anakin protects look younger and perhaps sexy? See it's hard not to rip on Episode II since New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are better. But what am I saying the rest of it was pretty good.

I also bought a Gamecube modem. The thing was probably a waste of my money. So far it only works with one game and so far no browser software can be purchased. I got to admit though I am "connected." I saw the Metroid Prime demo at Target. But what I really find cool is finding Spyro on Gamecube.

Well today was an interesting day. I talked to a Dr. Opsul who works at the University. I told how school was ok and everyone was not bothering me. Like 6 months ago I said it bothered me. Now that I'm use to the whole thing. I answered I don't know to most of his questions. He basically let me answer my own questions. So the rest of the day I said to myself screw that. So I took photos of my games I don't play anymore. But I did watch the Jonny Quest marathon on Boomerang. I taped the series in 1997 when it aired off Cartoon Network. I am truly moved by this so I'm going to put together a decent story on the cartoon. It pretty much is my favorite cartoon. I had a section of Jonny Quest off my old website for about a year then took it off at the end of 2000. I am also playing Chrono Cross on my PSone. I remembered how dumb it was to this take half of my work off the other webpage I had. Ah well, I can do research on older consoles and post it on this webpage. I am also trying to start a stradegy guide on the game Chrono Cross. Yep I'm going to borrow from other faqs. You can tell I wrote 75% by myself. I might post it on gamefaqs.com but it's highly doubtful that they'll take it.

o lift off my three day weekend I bought a Sony Playstation. Playstation is the most bought console one year ago. So I like it because it had some very good RPGS. Now I have Sega Saturn, N64 and playstation from last generation and Gamecube, Dreamcast from this generation. I found that the whole Final Fantasy series is suppose to be on it. Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3 has been released on the NES. Now 1 and 2 are suppose to be coming in 2003. Final Fantasy Chronicles and Final Fantasy Appocites are the ones that sell out. So I'm going to try out Chrono Cross (Squaresoft 2000), Star Ocean 2 (Sony 1999) and Tales of Destiny (Namco 1997) Everyone keeps copies the Final Fantasy games except for FF8.

I decided not to take my 4th drivers test tomorrow. I have to play a new game. I guess I don't care if I pass my drivers test this week. (I been taking it for 4 weeks now.) I pretty sure me Ian will study so I get remember it. It sucks in a way because noone cares about me on the road. If I get stuck on the side of the road I'll be the one getting myself out of the mess.

website goes online; fixed a lot of links; Added TimeSplitters 2 review

I worked on this webpage today. Nothing really happened at my house for Halloween. But today I played on battlenet most of the day. I tried calling Chuck today but he didn't return the call. I played Timesplitters 2 some of the time. I am going to post a review soon. I find that videogames are expensive but I still believe I made a good investment. I got a Sony Cybershot 3.3 Megapixel for my 18th birthday. Played around it for a while. It was the camera or a MP3 Player. So I went with the camera. I'm going to try to get a MP3 Player with built in harddrive soon. But then theres heavy duty speakers for my television. Money isn't hard to find since I have over 1100 dollars in my savings account. I might instead get some car amps with digial tuner and cd player when I start driving the Jeep Cherokee. That amount of cash may not be much to a person working for a decent wedge but I'm working minimum wage at a gas station not to far from where I live.
