My school hosted a video game tournament today. Thats right - I got to play games
instead of go to tutorial.
Anyways, today was also the first time I got to play Halo 3, COD4, and GHIII. Here are my
impressions and stories of the day.
COD4: I like. The game looks really great and controls are tight. I dislike the fact
that once you gun down your enemy, they have a "last chance" to gun you down. That
happened all of too many times.
My score: I only played one round and I lost this one.
GHIII: The new interface sucks. I don't like it. And what the hell is with the new
colours for each note? Now they don't correspond with the colours on the guitar! Overall, I
did have fun with this title although Neversoft/Activision screwed up some things!
My score: I played 2 songs - won the first one, lost the second. Boo! It was close!
Halo 3: Oh my goodness. This game kicks so much ass. I think COD4 was a little
easier to get into, but the weapons in this game make it all worthwhile. What happened? I
beat down my friend 12 times with the Gravity Hammer. It was a total massacre. He
managed to kill me twice - once when I was running at him with the hammer and once
when I was fumbling around, looking for the Melee button!
My score: I won 12 - 2. Nice!
Now I can't wait to get my xbawks! It's gonna be fun!
Yah when I was a kid I got my Gameboy taken from me in 3rd grade by a recess duty/substitute teacher. She took it home with her and said it was now hers, and she wasnt giving it back because they werent allowed in school... to which my parents raised a huuuuuuge FUCK NO and got her fired.
oh yea man..back in my day for high school home room when they had ghey shit like faculty volleyball we would bring in N64 and play those badass wrestling games, mario kart, smash bros and shit. soon our homeroom was more popular than the events haha.

about me
Hello, eh! I'm what one might call a Canadian, living up in Canada and all. And I'm also a gamer. Nifty, huh?
Back when I was too young to make decisions for myself, my parents controlled my gaming - they wanted the best for me and bought into the hype of the "game store guy". This is why my first console happened to be a Panasonic 3DO instead of a SNES. This is also why my first portable was a Sega Nomad instead of a GameBoy. The Nomad happens to be hooked up to my nice, new TV for some retro game lovin'. After this, my parents learned and I was no longer the kid with the obscure video game consoles.
I'm currently a junior at the University of Toronto, studying both Political Science and Business Management. I have no idea what I want to do with the rest of my life, but I hope the piece of paper that I get from this institution of education will help me out in some way.

GAMES IN SCHOOL!?!
NO WAYYY DOODER!!
Dude that's pretty legit, if my school ever had one of those I would have kicked ass, but alas, they never did
my college did a GH2 tournament one time, but I only got like 3rd or something, I don't remember
It was too un organized
Dude, we weren't even allowed to flash our original GameBoys in school when I was a kid.
We played Ski through a hidden command we found that let us dump out of our typing class programs and into Windows 3.1
Yeah, 3.1
As in before 95.
