Elimi-fail

I recently updated my iPod software, and decided I would try out this game my friend was annoying me about that required at least 3.0. The game was Eliminate, or something like that. I don't remember, and I honestly don't want to. It, was, garbage. Now, this is a little biased, because I against first person shooters for the iPod, and I do have a good reason. They are garbage. Character movement was extremely slow, the aiming is bad, and the firing never made sense. I tried playing it for more than 10 minutes, but I feared it toxic. I would honestly not recommend this game to anybody, but I don't know. Maybe you have better luck. At least, its free. Which a little over-priced, I know, but its better than $0.01.

Johnathan Coulton

I decided to review something non-game related. I just happen to be listening to a dork's best friend when it comes to music. I do happen to be a dork. But in all seriousness, Johnathan Coulton is really good at what he does. Great lyrics, great chords, sounds great, all dorky. Now, what could I possibly mean by dorky? Well, my favorite works of his are "Skullcrusher Mountain," a love song sung from the perspective of an evil genius, "Code Monkey," a song about a nerd that writes codes for a company, and is in love with the girl at the front desk, and "Re: Your Brains," which is a song about a zombie talking to his human friend, trying to convince his friend to let him eat his brain. He also did the credit song for the Valve game Portal, "Still Alive," and has done a cover of Baby got Back. So go check him out, you don't like him, so what, stone me. With your internet stones. :P

Warning- Highly addictive iPhone app

Now then, if you own an iPhone or iPod Touch, I personally own an iPod Touch, you have probably heard of or seen the game "Doodle Jump" Best iPod app I have ever played. I am playing it between sentences whilst posting this, its is highly addictive. I'm not even that good. my high score is only like 51,000 or so. My friend's is like 125,000. But seriously, highly addictive. Its not very fun for the first 20,000 points, but after that, man does it get fun. The panels start getting more and more populated with the blue and white tiles, and certain sequences start recurring. These include the following: "God-Bird," where you jump on a few panels (usually white or orange/red) and fight a boss that follows you up, I usually just jump on him; "Two-Panel Monster," a long monster hopping on two touching panels, usually needs to be killed fast; "Jump on monsters!" where the only way to progress is to, well, "jump on monsters!" There are many other sequences, but I think you get the picture. I would highly recommend this app, it only costs a dollar.

First review of the New Year

Ok, now then, first review of the New Year. I'm going to go with a game. And what better than Modern Warfare 2? When I first heard all the reviews and hype about this game, I felt it was overrated. The game just didn't seem to appeal to me. I was dead wrong. This is an amazing game. Was the best game of 2009? In my opinion, no. I feel that honor goes to Assassin's Creed II, personally. But that does not mean this is not a kick ass game. Graphics are good, guns are great, storyline is good. Multi-player is beast. Had I not fallen in love with Assassin's Creed, this would be the best game evar. But no. I give it a 10/10

An Idea

Hey! I remembered to post today. Hurray for me. But enough of that... Anyway, I have made a decision to separate this into two blogs. One, will be Can thou say "boredom?" and will just about my life and such. The other will be Commentary from the bushes, which will be reviews and such of random things. So tonight, I am devoting my time to that, so i don't know if i will be able to do so. But I will have many posts for tomorrow, so come again folks.

Its good to be back

Whew. That was a loooooong break there. Well, not so much a break as procrastination or something similar. Anyway, I'M BACK. Stupid caps lock. Any, not only am I back to blogging, but back to school. So I find it fitting to detail my break to you. First, lets go over my grades, because that was one of the first things that happened. I had relatively good grades, and they are as follows:
English III: A-
World History II: B+
Chinese III Honors: A-
Latin II: A
AP Calculus AB: A-
Chemistry: A
Physics: A
      Acceptable grades yes. Would I like them a bit higher, sure, but they are good where they are. Anyway, Onto the break. I had two weeks off, the first being the week of Christmas. But before that, I went up to Oregon. Visited my Grandma, which was fun. Came home Christmas eve, and then, Christmas!!! duh.
    Now, the obvious. What did Ody get for Christmas. Well, here's the list: Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Fallout 3: Game of the Year edition, a Halo Encyclopedia, and a mountain of clothing. But it was good clothing. Def Leppard and Guns 'n' Roses t-shirts. A new jacket, a new button up shirt, a GIR sweatshirt. That is awesome. Oh, and a $50 iTunes gift card. That puppy is gone. Anyway after Christmas, nothing happened. Literally, like nothing happened. Except, I went to a museum, and that was fun. Anyway, i need to get back to homework. Hopefully, i will post again tomorrow.
