Crunch time is coming

A hard week is on the horizon for me. June 2nd is my Podcast presentation on Torture in my Problems of Democracy class. I'm not really nervous about it, I think Mr. Rayer is going to throw some type of a loop in the questions. June 4th is the big one; Senior Project presentation. THAT'S the one I'm nervous about. It's going to be in front of God knows how many people and it's so dang important, that I have to dress up. I'm not a fan of that. I like the casual look more. I'm not wearing any kind of suit or a tie, so they can forget that. I'll look nice though. Hopefully, my people got my back from my group and will give me a card so I know what the hell I'm talking about. If that happens, there is nothing to worry about.

So, my church and I went bowling yesterday. After playing two games, I'll think I'' stick to Wii Bowling. I'm not a sports person, never was. Video games is the only thing I'm really good at. Oh well, it was a fun trip though. Overall, it was a fun day. I hope we have another outing like that in the near future.

I'm done Punch-Out. In Mac's Last Stand, I lost to Donkey Kong, Soda, and Piston. The ending was alright, but it felt anticlimactic. I hope we get to see a Super Punch Out!

Down goes Sandman! Down goes Sandman!

I just beat Mr. Sandman in Punch-Out on Title Defense mode and I feel great! The last 4 fighters (Soda, Bald Bull, SMM, and Sandman) were quite possibly the hardest, especially Mike Tyson, I mean, Mr. Sandman. Seriously though, what was up with his resemblance to Tyson? At least Nintendo still has Tyson on their minds. It was certainly a treat hitting Sandman with my 3 star punch and then the cinematic TKO. It was cool to see, and now, it's time to beat 10 boxers in Last Stand Mode, so I can not only see DK, but to get Champions Mode. I wonder what else is unlockable in this game? I know Nintendo had to put more than just this.

I just got a message from CW Philly. Here's what they had to say about giving Reaper a time slot:

Thank you for your note. It does seem like the production company behind the show is trying to revive it for weekend syndication. If they are successful in launching it, we will support it with a time period here in Philadelphia. At this point, we are waiting on word from them.
Thanks-
CWPHILLY

Looks like if Reaper continues, they'll be on board.

Facebook account, Broken Sword, Reaper's finale

I told myself I would never EVER do it, but I got a facebook account now. Look me up on there.

I played Broken Sword yesterday and it was pretty fun. I never played one before but this was a refreshing experience for the Wii. So far, I think I've only done one real puzzle and that was the spinning of the artifact, which I couldn't get at first. Oh well, I'll probably play some more today and also some more Punch-Out!! I need to beat King Hippo in Title Defense Mode and continue on. That manhole covering he has may have been the work of a genius. TD mode may be my favorite mode.

Reaper's finale on CW (see what I did there!) was last night. Wow, I didn't think Steve would screw over Sam like that. Now both Andi and Sam souls belong to the Devil. I wonder why Steve got orders to break Sam's hand. Maybe they want him to somehow stop the Devil. Who knows. I hope Reaper goes into syndication.

Life and Extreme Rules

20 days from now, I'll be graduating high school. It's crazy man. It's like just yesterday I was happy that Super Mario RPG was coming out for the Virtual Console, then it was me getting a 360 in October, then Persona 4 came out in December (highlight of school year), then I got Star Ocean IV in March, and now after getting Punch-Out in May, it's only 8 full days of school left. I also just realized how boring my life is. The fact that I have to chronicle my high school year in video games is sad, I know, but, that's the way I am. I'm not a social person that everyone loves, but I do have people who actually like me for me. Man, when graduation comes on June 15th, I'll tell everyone how I really feel about them. It might not be pretty for some of the people I talk to, but it will be my last time to talk to them, unless they stay on Xbox Live. I just hope I get home in time for Raw. This is a big step forward in life and I know I'm ready, but damn, life is really trying to stop me from moving forward. I got a POD Podcast due on Friday and then I present it on Monday (why did I pick to go first?), a Psych paper due next Tuesday, Senior Project presentation next Thursday, which I don't give a crap about, and an English Paper due Monday. All while having Punch-Out, SVR 2009, and trying to get a girlfriend. Talk about overwhelming. When June 16th comes, I'm going to rest all day. I had another realization: I have never really talked about my personal life until now. I wonder what the hell is going on with me.

Extreme Rules is on June 7th and it has a MOTY candidate with Edge VS Jeff Hardy in a Ladder Match. I like the fact of a Steel Cage match, but I really feel that the Ladder Match will steal the show. Going to ECW real quick, Swagger, DH Smith, and Tyson Kidd = EPIC WIN! I hope they get Swagger in the new Hart Foundation. I know it sounds stupid, but the top heels should get together to dominate the brand and actually give Christian a run for his money. With Legacy and The Hart Trilogy, it looks like stables are coming back to WWE. Now if Smackdown gets one, we can a little war going on.

Punch-Out!! and Smackdown VS Raw 2009

On Saturday, (after teaching) I bought Punch-Out!! and SVR 2009. Both are pretty good, especially Punch-Out!! I was playing Super Punch Out all week last week and I finally beat it on Friday night. (damn Bruiser brothers) This new one is just great. I love the Title Defense mode. Glass Joe actually becomes harder! The only bad thing about the game is the multiplayer. I wish you could be some of the other guys you fight. My favorite boxers in the game are Disco Kid, Super Macho Man, and Mr. Sandman. Even though Sandman is a beast, he's awesome. In SPO, he was the Major Circuit Champion. Now, he's the last boss, kinda of. I wonder if we'll ever see a Mike Tyson Punch Out again or one with Mr. Dream? Who's a big boxer today? Paquiao's Super Punch Out. Best seller right there! I wouldn't want to be Little Mac though. His punches are lighting fast. Did you see what he did to Hatton?

SVR is great. The career mode is a little boring, but I love how some wrestlers (Orton and Cena) have different entrances with championships. It's more realistic. The Road to Wrestlemania Mode is ok. I wish they would let you play as heel wrestlers though. Not everyone likes the good guys. I mean, come on. I know there are Edge, Orton, and Kennedy fans out there. Whatever, the game is still fun.

Tomorrow, I'll be playing Broken Sword for the Wii. I've been looking for a good adventure game since Zack and Wiki so I'm hoping for the best.

Goodbye to Reaper on CW

Well, as expected, Reaper is done on CW after next week. I'm still hoping for Reaper to be picked up by ABC Studios, but how long is that going to take? I know they're pick it up though, since everything has been going smoothly with the shows I like. Here's hoping for the best.

Chuck is renewed! I was right about Extreme Rules, and games

Thank God! Chuck has been renewed for a third season consisting of 13 episodes. Unfortunately, it's slated to come back in March of 2010! Great, it's been renewed, but won't be back for another 10 months. The wait will be worth it though. Now, after next week's Reaper season finale, I'll be looking forward to Leverage, Psych, and the last season of Monk. (no!) Also, Dollhouse got renewed as well, which is a shock to me. That just goes to show you that anything can happen with TV shows. Look at My Name Is Earl. I thought that had another season in it, but I guess not. NBC Thursdays in the fall are still going to be funny without it though. Parks & Recreation, The Office, and Community. I can't wait for that. Fringe season 2 should be the best show to watch next season. Chuck won't be back til spring and I don't know what's going on with Reaper, so Fringe will have to fill the void. I hope that a new good series comes out Mondays at 9 and on Tuesdays at 8. We'll see what happens.

I'm pretty sure I predicted the Steel Cage match between Batista and Orton at Extreme Rules. Now, Hardy and Edge just have to face off in a TLC Match to make the PPV even better. Big Show VS Cena in a Submission match will be lame. I never liked those two feuding and I don't think I ever will. After Batista, I think Orton will start feuding with Cena or MVP.

I just got Romancing Saga and Phantom Dust from GameFly. RS I played for 30 minutes and then put in the sleeve to send back. I tried to play it, but I just couldn't. Phantom Dust, on the other hand, is pretty fun. I'm mad that I missed it the first time around. I hope the all the missions aren't as linear as they are though. If they are, the game would definitely lose points from me. I know nobody cares, but I like this girl right now and she's all I can think about right now. Even when I'm playing games, it leads back to her somehow. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Playing games again

So, I'm back to playing games again, and I'm so happy! I'm going to send back Suikoden and Prince of Persia and I haven't beaten either of them. I just lost momentum in them because I couldn't play them for two weeks. Oh well, I can always rent them again. I was playing Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection again and I think I'm going to stay on that for a while. I also want to play my VC console games more, since I haven't beaten many of those. (Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario, Legend of Zelda:: OOT, and LandStalker to name a few!) I think the break made me appreciate the game that I have. Sure I want to buy SRIOS:EF and MANY other games, but right now, I'm going to focus on tying up some loose ends.

I'm getting nervous for Chuck and Reaper, man. I heard Tyler Labine is getting his own show on Fox. I hope they do decide to bring Reaper over to Fox, along with his new show, so I'm going to keep watching it, since it is my favorite show on TV. Chuck's renewal announcement is taking FOREVER. It's a great show, just renew it NBC. You didn't renew Surface (anybody remember that show?) when I wanted, so if they don't renew Chuck, that'll be two shows they canceled that I really enjoyed. I'll keep high hopes for both shows though.

I'm done!

I got done all of my reading done. Now all I have to do is pass a quiz and I can play video games again. That was the hardest two weeks of my life. It was boring; all I did was read and watch old wrestling tapes. I also get my $50 that's being held, so I think I'm going to buy Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier.

I'm still here

Yeah, I still can't play games. It has been almost two full weeks since I've played my 360. It's getting hard man. Especially now that everything is ending. Chuck, Heroes, and now Dollhouse are all over. This coming week, Fringe, Parks and Rec, and The Office will be done until the fall. Reaper won't be over until the last Tuesday in May and after that, new TV is done until fall for me. Unfortunately, it looks like Dollhouse, Reaper, and maybe even Chuck won't be back next season. Chuck has the best chance at staying alive, but we won't know until this week. If Dollhouse got canceled, I wouldn't be too upset. The season finale was confusing and stupid if you ask me. Alpha getting away like that was very anti-climatic. How did he disappear like that? Whatever, if it does come back, they need to put it at a good time slot. Tuesdays with Fringe would be nice or following Lie To Me, if that comes back, on Wednesdays. I do care about Chuck and Reaper being canned, because they are my two favorite shows.

Judgment Day's card looks alright. Orton VS Batista will probably be the main event. HOPEFULLY, the Age of Orton won't end next Sunday. Edge VS Hardy will end with an Edge victory, with CM Punk probably cashing in MITB. If not, it sets up for Edge VS Hardy at Extreme Rules in probably a TLC match. That would be a show stealer. Christian VS Swagger is already their 3rd match this year. I expect Christian to win, but I not holding my breath. CM Punk VS Umaga and John Cena VS Big Show are the David VS Goliath matches of the card. Don't really care about them. I hope they add Legacy VS The Colons and Jericho VS Mysterio for the IC title at JD.

Here's my two Extreme Rules matches I thought up.
Randy Orton VS Batista - Stretcher or Steel Cage Match
Edge VS Jeff Hardy - TLC Match
Hopefully, Orton doesn't get injured at this ER.
