Chaos' Blog of Awesomeness

So, I bought Superman 64 the other day. I remember buying this game and playing it as a kid. As a kid, my mom and dad always let me rent one game every weekend. So I'd go across the street to Blockbuster, take a look at the small collection of Nintendo 64 games they had, and finally picked out a game. It was Superman 64. I was so upset, that game was a piece of shit back then, and now it's an even bigger piece of shit compared to today's standards. I mean, seriously, how did a game, even back then, get released? I feel bad for the poor saps who paid a full $50 retail for that *bleep*er.

I played it yesterday for the first time. I don't know. It takes time. It's not as bad as I thought it was at one point. But you need to have a shit load of patience, and a bottle of Tylenol nearby.

First: THERE ARE SO MANY *bleep*ING RINGS. Why in the hell would a villain create a maze of rings in order fo

A lot of people ask what the best way is to silence your Rock Band and Guitar Hero drums. They're loud, and quite obnoxious to hear instead of the music your playing on your game. Not just that, but if you're living in an apartment building or having parents/siblings trying to sleep, you won't really be able to play your drums. So, I've found what I find to be the best way to silence your RB/GH drums.

1. Buy some Industrial Strength Velcro - yes, velcro. It's really cheap (about $4-$5). In the box is two strips of velcro with adhesive backs so you can stick it to anything. I suggest buying two of these to make sure you have enough.

2. You want the fuzzy strip, not the rougher strip. The fuzzy strip is softer, and will provide more silence and give you a better bounce. You want to peel the adhesive side a little, and wrap it around the tip of your drum sticks about 2-3 times.

3. Next, you w

I'm bored, and haven't blogged in about three months, and really have nothing to blog about. I've been a lot more active on Neoseeker lately though, my schedule has eased up a lot. Yay. Nonetheless, 2009 is more then halfway over, and I've played a lot of games so far this year. Since I've got nothing better to do, I've decided to make a blog about the five most played games that I've play so far this year:

5. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
I love this game. I think I like it better than the original Final Fantasy VII. Character's seem to be a bit more likable, in my opinion. Also, Zack Fair is a MUCH better hero than Cloud Strife. Easily. I played this game non-stop for about a month. It took me about a week to beat it, but then I played it non-stop again after, focusing more on sidequests. I completed every single sidequest the second time around. I think I would actually play the game

Holy crap. I just found out a few days ago that Time Warner may be changing their service. Apparently they aren't making enough money by monthly bills, so they are now going to be charging by how much internet people use. You can choose one of five cap levels ranging from 5 GB/month to 100 GB/month. If you exceed that, then they charge you $1 for every extra GB. It works in the same sense of using internet on a cell phone. This sucks. I don't have very many choices for internet where I live, because most are dial-up providers. I'm paying $35 a month for internet, but if I keep using it like I have been, that will increase a lot. The change will soon be coming to: Greensboro, NC, Austin and San Antonio, TX, and Rochester, NY. I literally live about 30-45 minutes from Rochester, NY, so hopefully this won't effect me yet.

So, what does this mean? Will I no longer be able to download big gam

I haven't posted anything in awhile, and I'm at a loss as to what to put up. So I figured I'd make a list -- one of my top five favorite singers of all time. ;D

5. James Hetfield (Metallica)
Probably one of the best voices in rock, to be honest. Hetfield has one of those really powerful voices, and it just sounds epic every time he starts singing. It's hard to really say what sets James Hetfield apart from the rest, he just has a unique voice; sounds just as good live as it does recorded.

4. Brent Smith (Shinedown)
Oh man, I love his voice so much. I'm jealous of it. :( Brent Smith is one of those rare singers that sound so much better live than in the studio. The whole band just sounds so much better live. If you haven't seen them perform live, go watch a video up on Youtube now. NOW!

3. Pete Townshend (The Who)
So, Townshend isn't the lead singer -- Roger is. He does sing backup and has done

I love me some Rock Band 2. Out of all the great games I own, it is one of my most played games. Guitar is fun, singing is my favorite, and drumming is awesome; too bad I have no kick pedal at the time. D:

March has been the best month for DLC, honestly it has been. The first week for DLC we got Stevie Ray Vaughn's Texas Flood album. All the songs are epic on guitar, except for "I'm Cryin'", I think it is. One of the songs is a major cord fest, and that's pretty much 90% of the song: all chords. But the album itself is epic. Every time I start up Rock Band 2, Texas Flood is always the first song I play. It's that good.

The following week we got some more of The Offspring and R.E.M., and some guy I don't know. I love the song "Losing My Religion" by R.E.M., and it's fun to play. And I loved the two songs by The Offspring as well, even though I'm not that big of a fan of The Offspring.

Wooo! I finally got 1000/1000 gamerscore in Left 4 Dead. It took me awhile, but I got it, and it was the most fun I had "achievement hunting" in a long time. Out of all the achievements in that game, like the ones for beating all four campaigns on Expert difficulty, I never thought Zombie Genocidest (kill 53,595 zombies) would be my last one to get.

I didn't know I was close to it either until last night, when I checked, and I was only about 500 zombies away from it. It felt good when the "Achievement Unlocked" bubble popped up on the screen. :thick:

Left 4 Dead marks my third game to get 1000/1000 gamerscore on. My other two were Madden NFL 06, and the famous Avatar: The Last Airbender, which took me about 4 minutes to get all 5 achievements. Not a very impressive list, but I'm happy with L4D. It's not exactly an easy game to get all the achievements for. I'm pretty close to getting some

I got home from work at 11 o'clock last night, and I'm just sitting there playing Rock Band 2, when my friend just randomly says, "Oh, yeah, T.O. signed with the Bills".

I froze for a minute; I couldn't believe it, and litteraly, I didn't. I called him a liar. My friend pulls crap with me all the time, trying to get me to believe that one of my favorite bands are coming out with DLC for Rock Band when they really aren't. He knows how much I dislike the Bills, so I thought this was one of those times he was lying to me.

He keeps telling me that it's true, and I go on to tell him to screw off, and that I don't believe him. About five minutes later, since I have the NFL Network on TV at the time, I see T.O. in a Buffalo Bills hat, announcing he signed with them for a one year deal.......

I hate going to the mall. Besides the people that stand in the middle of the aisle trying to get you to buy a cell phone or some kind of accessories that you don't need, there's been this one lady handing out samples that annoys the crap out of me.

There's this new store at the mall which sells mostly lotion, and some other skin care products. She's an older Chinese woman, and she is annoying as hell; plus she's aggressive. If you walk past her, she grabs your attention by shouting at you, saying "YOU HANDS SO DWYYYY! YOU NEED LOTION?!" and then she'll grab onto your hand and put a dab of lotion on it. After you rub it in, she'll say, "SEE? THAT BETTER?"

For starters, she pretty much yells in your ear. The mall is always loud, especially since this store happens to be right near the food center, and you pretty much have to yell to have the person standing next to you, but still, she is lou

I bought Halo 3 recently, after selling it months ago. I haven't played this game in almost a year. I bought this last January with my Xbox, but shortly sold it after buying Call of Duty 4. I put the game in, and this brought back memories. D= <3

It's also fun as hell. Sure, I've played three games and averaged about maybe 12 kills total, but it's still fun. I forgot how rewarding it was to sticky grenade somebody. I'm still getting used to the controls once again. It seems so weird in comparison to Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty 4, which I play all the time. I forgot how to reload, how to crouch, and those long ass jumps are incredibly fun; I'm used to hardly getting off the ground while jumping in CoD4 and L4D.

People also don't seem to be as big assholes as I remember them to be. I remember back when Halo was the only game I had, I would get several threats from little kids saying they wo
