First of all, before I talk about anything, I need to bring attention to TWO things:
1) Fran (chroniclesofbayley) wrote 2 blogs and put up videos of her individual game collections. I watched/read it all Fran, very nice job! I've missed ya for sure!
2) Sixty has some nice tracks on his myspace: www.myspace.com/sixtycelph. Very good job Sixty, I really like them.
Ok, back to what my usual is. We have accepted a counter offer on a house and we should be able to move in December 22nd, as long as all goes well. Sucks we have to move right at Christmas(have to be out of apartment by December 31st. Yikes.
Secondly, I've bought movies and a new game(I'm sure you can guess it-Sixty and Fran already know by seeing me play it on xbox live.
So the game first, Gears of War 2. Holy fuck!!!! I am back to being obsessed with gaming again. I love this game, even more bloody, good story so far and some neat new additions. I've only played the single player, because well, I want to beat the game(I'll do multiplayer later).
Holding an injured locust(for a shield) while you fire your pistol is awesome. I loved the new trackers they implimented too. For example: there is one about killing locusts with different ways. Pretty much using every new gun you can find. I think there is 15 different ways to kill them. I'm like 10/15(every time you get a new kind of kill, it tracks it). I think it then leads to the achievement(letting you know how close or far you are).
Pretty much exact same style as gameplay though. New monsters and old annoying ones(I hate reavers).
I started out on the middle difficulty, then I'm going to beat it on Hardcore. I can't wait to beat it, it rocks. After I beat Gears of War 2, I will be purchasing Call of Duty. I'm pretty excited for it. I want Resistance 2 badly, but I'd rather have CoD.
As for a DVD update, I got the following two Saturdays ago:
1) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Worst of the 4 by far. I wanted it solely to complete my collection and it was only $5.99.
2) Die Hard - Never seen it, loved it!
3) Die Hard 2: Die Harder - Never seen it, have yet to watch it.
4) Die Hard with a Vengenance - Never seen it, have yet to watch it.
5) Mad Money(for Brittany) - Stupid movie
6) Few Good Men - "You Can't Handle the Truth!" LOVED this movie, Nicholson/Cruise kicked ass. Demi Moore did very well too.
7) Road House - I actually liked this movie, old classic for sure. "Does the Hobby Horse have a Wooden Dick?"
8) Shoot'em Up - Very odd but enjoyable movie. Bloody and a lot of violence. Worth a watch, got it for $3.99.
Don't think I mentioned them before, but I did buy Ironman and Incredible Hulk both on blu-ray on their release days.

Yay, the Shep lives! (^_^)
And he mentioned me! Now I feel loved. (^___^)
Congratulations on the house, that's great!
Oh, man, I'm with you on that. Gears of War 2 is awesome. The stat-tracker is great, especially if you go into the War Journal and look at the achievements. The bar for "Seriously 2.0" is always a laugh. XD I've got 1900+ kills and it's only a tiny, tiny sliver of the progress bar. I'm even enjoying the multiplayer, haha, I hate the competitive multiplayer for the first Gears. A review from you would be cool, by the by.
Glad to see your return on Blogspot!
Thanks for the mention.
Was really great to speak with you yesterday, I've missed talking with you.
Some great dvds you've bought there, can't believe you've never seen the Die Hard trilogy!!! Such good films!
Good to see you've got a new game, I'm still on Gears of War 1 haha! Will hopefully have the 2nd one soon, and will play some online multiplayer with you.
Will look forward to that Gears review.
Keep in touch.
Fran xx
