About Me

edit

My name is Kel, but I am known online as PraiseChaos. The name PraiseChaos comes from a belief that no matter how much crap you think you have to deal with, there's someone somewhere who is dealing with something much worse than your problems. It also keeps life interesting.

I'm an 360, Wii, and PC gamer. I'm hoping to get a PS3 eventually. I don't stick to any certain genre of game. My favorites are rhythm games and FPS's.

In real life, I'm a student at WVU Institute of Technology studying Computer Science. I also do programming and IT work part time to make some extra cash, which I promptly blow on video games. I was also the founder and chairman of a local gaming community for two years.

I'm currently playing:
All those games I received for Christmas.

Upcoming Games That Will Make Me Fail Out Of College
PraiseChaos \| 8:38 PM on 09.02.2007	9 comments

The semester has started, and that realization upsets me. Papers are being written. Projects are being developed. That's all fine and dandy, but all I really want to do is earn achievements, earn Pro status on Wii Sports, or shoot those annoying kids on Counter-Strike:Source who won't stop crying into the mic. I want to play video games. GPA's are for n00bs.

I thought I'd take a moment and reflect on a few of the upcoming games that will serve as wonderful distractions for the upcoming semester.

Rock Band (Xbox 360,PS3)

It doesn't take a self-proclaimed master of the 5 button guitar to tell you this will be a great time with friends who have had a few too many to drink. People who say fever than 10 words a day will suddenly get the idea that they are the greatest vocalist to ever walk the Earth and demand the chance to prove it. Nothing quite beats a drunken, off-key sing-a-long!

...What? No... I'm not recording you singing with my video camera here... No... I'm not putting it on YouTube... >.>

Super Smash Bros: Brawl (Wii)

Super Smash Bros: Melee (SSB:M) was a game that holds a lot of meaning for my group of friends. That game was so overplayed in our Student Union that the game was eventually banned because students would actually start skipping classes to finish matches. So, what happens when you introduce online play into the Smash Bros world? Well, for starters, I don't have to drive 40 minutes to my friend's house to destroy his dreams of being a Smash Bros. master. The other positive note is that this game hasn't been banned from the Student Union yet... They only banned Melee... Technicalities for the win!

Left 4 Dead (PC, Xbox 360)

This game screams Saturday night LAN party. I can see it now. The room is completely dark. We know the zombies are coming. Only our bravery can save us now. We prep ourselves for the battle of our lives. I prepare myself to defend myself... I hear my friends ready their mice to fire. Suddenly... *BANG*

"Sorry!" my friend behind me says. "My finger slipped!" I fall to the ground as a victim of a TK. What a load of crap...

Seriously though... Survival is a must, because the loser has to scrape the burnt nacho cheese out of the bottom of the Crockpot.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my list and a little bit of my sarcasm. I might do this again soon if I can find the time.

You get much respect from me for listing both Smash and Left 4 Dead. What they REALLY need in L4D is a King of the hill mode where you are in a bunker/house/area and zombie sjust come and you have to survive as long as possible.

Since you didn't mention Halo 3, i have no problem hunting zombies with you sometime.

I kinda understand where you're coming from. I'm in my last year of High School, and Brawl, Galaxy, GH3 and NiGHTS might infect me with senioritis

i think warhawk will get me kicked out of high school. its the only ps3 game i have thats worth playing online.

Excremento

MMMMMMM, five button guitaring...I'm just stoked to get that drum set, thats going to be wild!!!

KevlarGibs

wow, I thought I was the only one who doesn't care about halo 3. feels good to not be alone... i know 95% of my friends list will start ignoring me in 3 weeks

I want L4D so badly a dog barks. Lemon, I will buy whatever piece you don't get for Rock Band and drive to Plano so we can play it. I still owe you $1000 (US) anyway.

PraiseChaos

King of the Hill L4D would be freaking sweet. If it's not a built in mode, I'd be willing to write that mod myself.

I'll probably end up getting Halo 3... Mostly just so I can play with my friends online. I won't be preordering it... It's not really worth it for me. I probably won't pay 60+ bucks for it either.

I'll probably get GH3 at launch too, but Rock Band has far more appeal to me.
