Hockey and Exams

2005-01-18T11:36:00.000-05:00

I spent this last weekend up in peterborough watch in my kid brother play hockey. He plays on a AA team in toronto and he ad as tournamet up ther this weekend. So I sat in the freezing cold arenas for hours and hours this weekend. I was ok though because it was fun to just get away from all of the busyness back home. His team made it to the semifinals some how but then they lost to a AAA team. When we got home it was time for me to study, because I had a computer Science exam the following day.

I did the Exam yesterday and it was all good. It maybe one of the most self explanitory classes that I have ever had. So the exam was really easy, I think I did really good. I definatly aced the written part of the exam and i only had one error on the programming part that i know of atleast.

Then today I had a History exam, at first I was worried that I didnt know my stuff so well but when I got there I knew everyrthing it was possibly easier than the first exam i took. The teacher (He is a sub because the origonal teacher is on maturnity) is an idiot he had so many mistakes on the exam. Half of the question on the matching didnt have awnsers and some of the definitions were two in one. It was really messed up. He is a new teacher he has never taught before so you have to cut him some slack. But seriously he was really bad today.

Anyway im going to go now i have a really tough math exam on thursday and i need to study for it because i dont know anything.

Done!

2005-01-12T20:51:00.000-05:00

For the last week I have been working on various school projects. I have had two culminations to do, one test and some presentations to do. The first of the culmination assignments was a essay on history. Secondly I had a large marketing project that I have been working on for the last few months. The marketing project was actually quite fun to do, we were asked to make a boardgame and market it. So we had to the the research, pricing elements, branding, advertising, production, and everything else involved in marketing. Then on tuesday my group had to present to the class on everything we had ever done on the project. Our group was the last to go and we were given less the half the amount of time that the other groups had. So the presentation was kinda rushed but i still think it turned out well. Finally i had another project in history this one was a presentation on Katanas (which for those who might not know is a Japanese sword). I presented that today which I think I did a good job on, everyone especially like the sword I brought on (the real one not the one that I had to make for the project). Hopefully I did well on the project but you can never know with my history teacher. Then today I also had a test in marketing. Finally I have a Computer Science culmination that I just finished today.

So I am done all of my big assignments for the year next week is my exams so hopefull I will do well on all of them. And this friday I am going to Peterborough for a hockey tournament. OK time to go and study. See ya.

w00t! Snow Day...

2005-01-06T14:22:00.000-05:00

Today was a snow day which was great because that means no school. So today i didnt do too much, I work on building y Samurai sword for history class. I think its going to turn out really cool. I also started to play metroid prime 2. It is actually a pretty good game. The dark and light works make the game interesting but it also makes the game frustrating. The boss battles are also a little too easy. Especially in the dark world. Any way I am going to play hockey tonight even though i really dont want to.

Ok, I have to go now need to shovel the snow now
bye

Some People!!!!!!!!

2004-10-20T16:06:00.000-04:00

Man there is this really anoying guy in my history class. He is always well just being an irritant and I want to kick his ass. Today I almost knocked him out. He keeps calling me gay (and I'm not) and he is always huggung guys. So when i saw him hugging a guy I called him a faggot. He turned and said "yeah just keep walking". So naturally i turned around and walked over to him. I tell him if you want to fight i am right here but there is not much a little shrimp like you can do to me. The funniest part is that he is literally under 5 feet. So this rally short kid is asking me to fight so naturally he declined and we were off on our seperate ways. This kid is just seriously pissing me off. Anyways what ever it doesn't matter.

I just handed in my marketing project that i had to redo yesterday because my partner messed it up so i stayed up to 12:30 and now iam really tired

Some Movies and more stuff

2004-10-18T17:43:00.000-04:00

In the last little while I have seen alot of movies. Ill name all of them first. Friday night lights, Collateral, Paparazzi, White Chicks, Resident Evil, A lot more I cant really remember. I think i already wrote about paparazzi and resident evil tho. Any way I have seen alot of movies cant remember all of them but i have seen alot in since september 15 so if I remember I will write them down.

Right now im really happy bcuz i am writing on my laptop from my house using my own wireless signal which is great. I have always wanted a wireless router and since I am the only one who uses it I got one for my birthday.

Since my last post I have also started the hockey season. I have played 3 games so far but my team has lost three times already. I have already scored 2 goals and have 4 assists. (although they didn't count my second goal and gave me an assist instead). Atleast i am averaging two points a game. O yeah I also have two penalties I think that is the most for my team. So that is cool.

So i doing good at school and we are getting first semester reports soon.

Stuff

2004-10-18T14:53:00.000-04:00

Wow i havn't blogged for a month now that is a long time but I didn't get my laptop back until october first. Anyway saturday the 16 was my birthday. I got alot of money, a wireless router, a new composite hockey stick, a bible, 2 movies, a game, and on the weekend im getting a samurai sword. So since the last time that I blogged i have done alot of stuff and have seen alot of movies at the theatre around 8. My brother has hockey practises every sundaY FOR TWO HOURS and the arena is over an hour away from my house. So the only thing to do is see a movie. Anyway have to work now

Please Disregard

2004-09-15T13:32:00.000-04:00

Laptop Back

2004-09-14T17:28:00.000-04:00

Today is the day of reckoning. I hopefully will recieve my laptop back after today when i can change the battery. Ok for those who dont know i got my laptop taken away after I "stole" my desktop from my house to bring to jon's party. It was not a smart idea after looking at it but i probably would do it again if given a second chance. So i can't complain. Anyways when my mom gets home today i will (most likely but not definaty) get my laptop back. Thats all I had to write.

Oh yeah Canada is playing in the world cup finals. GO CANADA GO!!!

An Even Better Movie

2004-09-13T14:44:00.000-04:00

Yes, I saw two movies this weekend but the second is alot better than Resident Evil. I saw maybe one of the best revenge movies I have ever seen. I saw paparazzi and it was an amazing movie.

The moie is about an up and coming action star named Bo Laremy. He has created his first block buster hit and is for the first time recieving attention by the media. First of he hits the one guy from the media and then this photographer goes on a plan to ruin Bo's life. So him and his group of photographers acidentally make him hit a car and his wife and child are hurt badly.

Anyway have to cut it short because I am in class but I give this movie a 9.5/10.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse

2004-09-13T13:54:00.000-04:00

This weekend i went to see the new Resident Evil movie. I had alot of problems getting into the movie because of some fake movie rating at my local AMC. So I was going to go to the 4:15 movie but the rating was 18+ and i could not get int it because I am only 15 (16 in october tho). So I waited with some friends until we decided to go to eat at East Side Marios. Then we were picked up by my friends mom and we were driven to a famous players. The movie was only 14+ there so we were able to get in. So now onto the movie.

The movie was alot like the first movie with the zombies and destruction of zombies. The story also does a really good job explaining what happens in the first movie. But the action is really good.

After the first incident in the hive where the T virus is spread. The umbrella corperation sends another team down to the hive to investigate the incident. The team goes down and releases the T virus on all of the people of Racoon city. Alice from the first movie is brought back to kill the zombies along with matt who has now evolved to the Nemisis. The story is ok but the action makes up for it. The director also makes spaces for comoc relief that is really funny and one of th best things in this movie. I give this movie a 7.5/10

King Arthur

2004-08-31T09:01:00.000-04:00

On Sunday I saw King Arthur.... yes I know it has been out for a while but whatever. It was a really good movie like Lord of the Rings with a more historical nature. It was agreat movie maybe.... dare I say it.... cooler than Lord of the Rings. Well atleast some of the characters were cooler and alot funnier. yeah I dont feel like a long review after just typing mylast post so I'll just say everyone will enjoy this one and I give it a 9/10.

The Family Stalker

2004-08-31T08:16:00.000-04:00

This year my sisters soccer team has been really really bad, but to make it all worse she has a crazy coach. So last tuesday she played a game and lost 12-0. But the the score wasn't the teams fault, after the first few games no one would show u at the soccer coach was a maniac. So every game they played was with only seven people. If you dont know soccer you are supposed to have eleven players on the field with three substitutes that were one the sidelines. So it would have been almost Impossible for her team to beat that many players with the few that they had. So now to the coach you see he started the year with this idea that no one on his team wanted to play soccer, he said at fourteen girls don't want to play soccer. I don't really understand his ideology behind that, why wuold someone sign up to play soccer and not want to play soccer. So he never held any practices and never made lines or did anything a coach is supposed to do. So several of the girls quit. Then the team started losing and the coach started to yell at the players because they lost so everyone started to hate him. So lets get back to my stalker bit as I have written nothing about it. The story starts at the beggining of the year, my sisters team was in a tournament and my sister didn't play for more than 3/4 of the game. Which is really bad because they only had one substitute and some girls played the whole game. And it's not like my sister is bad she is one of the best players on the team and definatly the best defence. So my dad goes and has a talk with him at the end of the game. When my Dad gets mad believe me you dont want to be in his line of fire. So basically after that game i went to a few games off and on throughout the year. But I need to skip to the last game before playoffs this is last teusdays game. My sisters team had won only 2 games at most. I had finally started to go on a regular basis because my brother had finished his goalie training which he had every tuesday and I had to go to help with the his goalie equipment (by the way he is a hockey goalie).
After my sisters final regular season game she tells the coach she wont be able to make the game on saturday because we have people over. So the coach insists that she can and he fights with her about how she can go to the game when she can't. So later in the week he calls our house and tells my mom that my sister can come to the game on saturday. So my mom tells him she cant but he keeps on instisting that my sister can make it. So he yelled at my mom for half an hour about how my sister can go to the game, while my mom told him that she can't go. So this guy keeps calling all week long instisting that my sister can go to the game. He called several times in the week an thean in his last call he made before the game on saturday he said first of all that she could make it. But all week long we told him she can't, than he said that GOD will make a way for her to come and that he wanted my mom to call him with up to date coverage on where my sister would be on saturday. Then he started asking questions like who's coming over where are they from, how long are they coming, wherew they come from, what were doing, etc. Some really wierd questions. Finally it comes to saturday night and my sister didn't go to the game. So quess who calls us up, the coach he says he wanted sarah to came and he thought she was coming. He also started to uell at my Dad for not going to the games after yelling at him but it wasnt my dad's fault as I said before me him and my brother were at goalie school. Then the coach threatens that he will tell the league to never let my sister play again. But later in that conversation he also said he already asked the league and they just laughed at him. So now he starts yelling at my Dad. This goes on for several hours . This guy is really wierd so I was a little freaked out this is the type of psyco that would come to your house. So it just had to be that bight that my dog sees something in the front of our house and starts barking alot. And if you know my dog the only time it barks is when were in the pool or when she sees D! ^_^ (I trained her to do that). So that freaked me out I thought there could be somebody out there and knowing this guyit could be him. So that night I brought my swords into my room. and slept with them under my bed. Luckily it has been three days now and there are no calls and no sightings of him. I just tahnk God that he didn't show up at our house.

2004-08-26T17:54:00.000-04:00

Its official i have finally gotton to my dog days of summer. Its that time where I now want to go back to school I need something different. Well im sick of being bored Im tired of sitting infront of my computer and Iam sick of being on the internet. I am at the point where I will turn on a game and then shut it off onceit boots because I am tired of it. Too much freedom is a bad thing. Maybe a party with my friends will chear me up. I could use anything right now anything to break the schedual of complete boredom . I need to stop writing now the boredom of this is getting to me and soon ill staart swearing all over the place.

Pc or Mac?

2004-08-26T09:36:00.000-04:00

Are you PC or Mac? This is the age long question. Both sides have supporters and both have thier arguments. Personally I use Pc because as a student more programs are compatible with the schools computers aswell as the teachers laptops. I also use a pc because you have a larger variety of games on it. Now for the mac side, I would definatly use a mac but not unitl I got older and really into graphics design which I want to do in the future. So yes one day I will have a mac but right now I love my PC. Mac also has very little game support. Sure it has halo and call of duty but it doesnt have the Counter-strikes, the Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Half-life 2 (well i dont know if it will be compatible with half-liife 2 but im speculating). Those are the best games the creme de la creme. Not bashing Halo but its not nearrly as good as the other fps's, and call of duty.... well ...ergh that's a good game cant complain about that. Well to me Both types of computers have thier place a mac is used mor for graphic design, video editing, 3d graphics rendering, etc. But a Pc id used for gaming thats why I use a Pc.

Man I really can't wait for Half-life 2 and couter-strike: source those games are going to be so sick.

Update on the Clan

2004-08-26T09:10:00.000-04:00

If you wanted to kow I wasn't kicked out of my clan, I recieved wut they called "strike one". So I was getting annoyed with them anyway so I told them to stick it in thier ear. I won't take orders from some punk kid ( I dont really know how old he was). So I quit the clan, I am probably the better for it my clan wasn't really good to begin with. Well we did win the two scrims I was apart of but they weren't that good at all. I would have a score of 28-7 and they would be like 8-17, or 15-14 stuff like that they could barely kill more than they died. But it doesn't matter to me anymore I am glad to be ot of the clan.

Uh-Oh

2004-08-25T14:58:00.000-04:00

Today my Counter Strike clan was going to have a scrim. But seeing how I used a keygen to play CS the people at steam shutdown my account. I also cannot create an account because they will not accept my email because I used the counterfeit key. When I talked to my clan leader he was pretty pissed that I didnt show for the match. I'm not sure but after like 3 day they might have already kicked me from the clan. Doesn't matter tho they sucked anyways they were all like newbs. If anyone knows me its not good if I am the best player in the clan.

But I have moved on CS is not for me I'm more run and gun. That's why I rock at UT 2004. So now I'm playing Need for Speed: Underground which is really fun. Iam also playing alot of games that we will be playing at Yuiichi's LAN Party (that way I won't suck). So now I need to check if Iam kicked from the clan or not but if I am I think that I'm hanging up my CS hat for good. That is until source and me and Jon's clan. ^_^

Yesterday I got my grade 11 schedual, it was really good. I recieved all of the classes that I wanted and I'm in all the same classes as my friend. So right I almost want to get back to school. I would see my friends alot more often and I would be able to use up all of bandwidth from the school. hehe.

But right now im getting kind of tired of not haveing that routine. Its funny because I cant handle having complete freedom and I hate having routine. So maybe its best to have a little of both.

The Movie Experience

2004-08-23T09:42:00.000-04:00

Yeterday I went to the AMC theatre to see a movie, this was after hitting a round of golf balls at the driving range with my brother and Father. So we decided to go see a movie because my mother and sister were at some wedding thing. Anyways we planned to go see Herold and Kumar but three minutes into the movie we left. There was a huge4 amount of swearing plus some really perverse dialog. SO we left and went to go see Without a Paddle.

Without a Paddle was an amazing movie it was so funny. So if you don't know without a paddle is about three friends who seperated ways after highschool. One day they all get back together due to the death of thier fourth childhood friend. Now the dead friends last wish was for them to go on this camping trip. Around thirty years before some man got lost in the forest with alot of money so as children they always dreamed of finding it. So the story is about these adventures of these three guys in the woods. The movie is just so funny that you have to see it. I give it an 8.5/10.

Oh ya and on my lat review which was about the village I gave it an 8.5 but meant to give it a 6.5 just a typing error. But that movie really wierd, I dont advise anyone to see it.

That Time Again

2004-08-18T12:23:00.000-04:00

I feel as if is that time again, all students know what I'm talking about that feeling like school is around the corner. How every student hate the fact they are going to go back but also embrace it because they get to hang out with thier friend again. Well thats where I'm at. I don't want to head back to school but the lazing around is starting to get to me, I do the same things every day. I sleep in then wake up to cook breakfast for my brother and sister. Sometimes I hep my Dad with work others I watch tv and then I sometimes swim in the pool. When my parents get home we have diner and then we usually go for a swim around 9 O'clock. Then I stay up until 12:30+. So where is this all going and what am I getting to..... well I don't know. Maybe it was the fact that I was glad my routine is going to be broken tommorrow as one of my best friends is coming over tommorrow maybe I just had nothing to write about. So here is a message to you Yuiichi bring mgs:tts, your laptop, Unreal 2k4, and .... I dont know anything else you want. You probably already pissed that I keep reminding you but I'm just used to King Mericon forgetting everything.

Canada wins a Medal

2004-08-17T15:31:00.000-04:00

It surprised me to hear this but Canada actually won a medal in this years summer olympics. Just yesterday our womans team won a bronze for syncronized diving. So I gues I have to write this because I was harping on the Canadians in one of my former blogs. BUt still its only one medal and Canada should still have more. We have mor money better facilities better well.... everything. It is still an imbarassment for Canadian athletes to lose so badly in the Oylmpics. Oh yeah and on anothern note the olympics should be for amateur athletes under 25. I mean really Canada sent a woman for the shooting competion that was 53 years old. Come on (Come on what..... hehe sorry back to typing) no wonder we suck we are sending old bags to the olympics. The Canadians must be a laughing stock at the Olympics.

About Anime

2004-08-17T14:22:00.000-04:00

I often read Yuiichi's blog and he often speaks about all of the anime that he watches. Anyways I was sitting at home doing nothing and I came across the FMP that I had burned off of some poor schmuk. Well I put it in my laptop and started watching it. After I was done watchin a few episodes I thought back to how I always used to watch anime. Just a few years ago I wouldnt watch anything unless it was anime no matter how gay the story might have been or if it was even for kids it didnt matter to me.

So eventually I just stopped watching anime but when i put on FMP i was really suprised how much I enjoyed it. So this is where your part come Yuiichi, could you just give me some advice on some good animes to download since you are all ways downloading.

Beyond the Village

2004-08-15T16:39:00.000-04:00

In former blogs I have talked about seeing the Village. Seeing how I promised to go with my Aunt I had to wait until she got back from California to see it. After she returned which was about a week ago she got really sick and we couldnt see it until today. So I have finally seen it and .... well it was really wierd. Usually I dont like giving the story away but I'm going to anyways. So if you dont want to know the whole story dont read past the **** further down the blog.

The Village is about .... well a village based in 1870-80's Pennsilvania. This small village that is located inside of a valley is surrounded by a forest. For those who do not already know this forest is the home for a group of terrible monsters. The Elders of this village moved into this place to escape the outside towns where they say horrible things happen. All of the Elders tell stories of how many people are killed in the outer towns and that the people who live there are savages that ave no moral value. When the Elders moved to the valley to escape the outside world they made a treaty with the monsters that lived in the forest. They promised the monsters that the villagers would not go into the woods as long as the monsters did not enter the village. The villagers were also not allowed to wear or have the colour red in thier village. Because this was a forbidden colour and the monsters or those we can not name will attack if they see this colour. So anyway in the begining of the movie a little child dies and one of the villagers ask to leave the village in order to get medicine so no one else will die like the little boy. He is denied twice so one day he decides to walk several feat in and one of the monsters see him so he quickly goes back to the village. That night the mosters enter the village and leave signs on all of the doors warnig the people not to enter the woods.

After this part you might not want to read if you have not already seen the movie and want to see it.

****

So another night they are holding a wedding and the mosters return to the village again but this time they kill the villagers live stock and then they skin them and leave them at different places in side of the village. All of the villagers are scared except for one namedLucius Hunt who falls in love with this blind girl named Ivy Walker. So they anounce their engagement which seriously angers another villager named Noah Percy (who i believe has terets syndrome because he always shakes). So in anger Noah stabbs Lucius and the rest of the villagers find out. So they punish Noah by locking him in an empty room. So Ivy ass the her father who is the head elder if she can go to one of the outer town to get medicine. He allows her to leave but first he has to show her something. What you are about to read will seriously ruin the movie for everyone so this is your last chance to stop reading.

They go to this cabin which is off limits to the villagers and inside are what the audience believes at this point will be one of the monster and they are right. But not exactlyit is only a costume of a monster. Right know if you havnt seen it you are scratching your head saying what the heck. You see the Elders who had lived in the outside world wanted to leave so badly that they made up this story about monsters so that the villagers would not leave the village and venture into the world beyond the forest.

Ivy's dad talks to the elders and at first they are reluctant to allow her to go but eventually let Ivy leave. So Ivy leaves withe two escorts but one chickens out at the edge of the forest and the other leave several minutes in. In the woods she is attacked by one of the monsters.... right now your thinking wait a minute I thought the mosters were elders and the elders allowed her to leave. Well your right this monster is the retarded Noah who found a costume under the floor boards in the empty room and then he escaped. So Noah fools around and chases her she eventually tricks him to fall into a pit and Noah dies. Remember Ivy is blind so eventually she reaches this road she has to get to and then she reaches the wall she must climb. As soon as she gets over she is met by a man in a jeep. Yes I said a jeep, and the man is nice unlike what the elders have said. This is because the elders were all part of a support group for people who's family members had been killed by acts of violence. So the delusional elders fled. Anyways this man in the jeep turns out to be a park ranger in charge of a wildlife reservation but Ivy cant tell because she is blind. The year is closer to 2004 then 1870 and the village is inside of an animal reservation that is why the elders dont want the outsiders to know of thier town. So Ivy eventually get some medicine and brings it to Luscious. THE END!

So here is a wrap up the elders all had one .... well maybe two things in common they had all lived through deaths in thier families caused by extreme violence and they were really crazy. So in their delusions they escaped to an animal reservation to live. Then they told thier children the outside world was evil and that thier were monsters in the forest. So if that isnt clear enough I can explain more just email me at templar_40k@hotmail.com

Anyways I thought this movie had the biggest twist in it from any movie I had ever seen and that.... well it was interesting so I give it an 6.5/10. It is enjoyable, just crazy and it really makes you review the story over and over again.

Oh yah and Adrien Brody does a really good job as Noah. Joaquin Phoenix the evil emporer from Gladiator does a good job as Lucious (which is actually his nephews name in gladiator) and Bryce Dallas Howard who is Ron Howards (Ron Howard is a famous director for those who do not know) daughter does a really good job in her firstrole as the blind Ivy.

The End

Canadians Break Under Pressure

2004-08-14T19:47:00.000-04:00

If anyone is keeping track of the olympics (which who in Canada actually cares about the summer Olympics) you would know that well it has only been one day but the Canadaians are stinking up the joint. The Canadian athletes look like bums not even able to pass qualifying rounds. Anyways if they dont start doing better they might aswell pull the whole team out of greece. Actually they should just stick to winter Olympics. Hopefully they will start doing better, on that note I bet that Canadians are more excited about the World Cup of Hockey then the Summer Olympics. Hockey rules. Go Canada Go!

Just wont click

2004-08-14T19:24:00.000-04:00

I keep trying to play doom 3 but I cant get into it long enough to play though the first level it just doesn’t captivate me. Unlike KotOr, which was, allot more appealing to me.

But anyway, today I had to go over to my cousin’s house for her birthday. I was a really girly party with make up and stuff, but it wasn’t until today that I realized how "street" she is becoming. She has allot of friends that dress like (well I'll just say they are uncivilized for this purpose). They had thier R&B, rap, monkey music blasting in the backyard that drowned out the movie that I was watching. And I had surround sound and subwoofer! Neways it was wierd beause they inturrupted my movie *expierence* by running down stairs and chanting to watch little BowWow. By this point I couldnt take any more street culture for the day so I turned to my father. Not even by making one gesture he knew what i was thinking. He said to me lets get out of here now. At this moment we bolted for the door and rushed are family home. The whole ride home we were complaining about how much my cousin could really use some good ol' rock music. Anyways since her actual birthday isnt for about a month I think Ill buy her some rock music for her birthday. Hopefully she wont listen to that monkey music anymore.

It is Finished!

2004-08-13T18:29:00.000-04:00

I know it has been a while since i last posted anything on my blog but since the last time I have posted I have beaten KotOR. That was one of the best games i have ever played it allowed the player to do almost anything they wanted. You could be purely evil or a real goody-goody. The real fun of the game is taking the evil path and eventually becoming the Lord of the Sith. Any ways I am waiting for KotOR II which will be released this winter.

Now I just need to get into Doom 3 I havent played very much because i have been into KotOr. But now that I have beaten it I will try to beat Doom 3. Well the more I type the more game time I lose so see ya.

And the Winner is....

2004-08-07T19:41:00.000-04:00

My last blog was about Doom and even though it is a really good game the reason i bought it is because I got KotOR for free. For those who do not know it is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This game is the best Star Wars game I have ever played. There are amazing aspects to this game that i have always wanted in a Star Wars game. You start out as some guard on a ship that is being attacked. You later fall to this planet and begin to find a jedi named Bastilla. So while you are on the planet u can talk to people and either be rude or be polite. Doing wut is wrong will give u darkside points and doing wut is right will give u light side points.

Obviously i have chosen to go to the darkside. The only problem with that is your characters face gest all messed up oh well anything for the side of evil.

I advise this game to all Star Wars fans and rpg fans alike this is a great game.

Doom 3

2004-08-07T19:29:00.000-04:00

This week I bought Doom 3. This is the most anticipated game of the year. Although i only bought it to get my hands on last years game of the year Star wars: the knights of the old rebublic. Neways back to doom 3. This game is really freaky, the opening has u walking thru this base on mars with practically no light ( You would guess that by the time we could get to mars there would be some forms of lighting). But anyways as u are walking down this long set of rooms and partof the outside of mars u finally get to this room with a crazy scientist.

This guy babbles on about how he has seeen the devil and how he created a cage for him. Then all of a sudden there is a warning and stuff just starts blowing up. Then all of a sudden these things start flying around the room and pass thru this scientist. Then remarkably he becomes a zombie and starts attacking u. its really freaky because at first u dont know wut the heck is happening to you.

As u progress back down the halls it gets freakier because u cand hold ur gun and light at the same time. So when u put ur light on to see the zombies u can see them but as soon as u take out ur gun ur only light (your flashlight goes back into the big old inventory sack). Now u are shooting at a enemy u can barely see. This is really freaky. Luckly no one is black so u can see thier white heads.

So if ur looking for a really good horror game buy Doom 3

Lately I havn't posted anything on my blog, this is for all that cared or even noticed (this means the all one of you). Anyways this week i have beenso busy that i just had no time to post. I have been at a hockey school all week long. For those who are thinking why are you in a HOCKEY SCHOOL IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER !

Well I'm dont know why us canadians do such crazy things but we do. Plus the hockey season starts in two weeks with the start of training camp. Back on the crazy Canadian thing well Canadians are just friggin crazy when it come to hier kids and our national sport of hockey.

The hockey camp was in Toronto and i was in Oakville. (for those who dont live in this area some days it took an hour and forty minutes to get to the rink.

Then during the week I had to help my dad with some technical issues at work the key one being a presentaion to Universal Studios. I had to make the presentation that one of the employees really goofed up on.

Anyways if you wanted to know why i havent posted this is why

Not Another Movie Review

2004-07-31T20:50:00.000-04:00

I know that I have been reviewing allot of movies lately but today I wont be doing any movie reviews. Although movie related it is not a movie review.

When thinking of the horror movies I have watched lately. I said to myself why would I want to watch a movie that would chill you to the bone and make you utterly afraid. Then the subject of horror movies strangely arose during diner. After sitting through a meal where everyone shared the horror movies they had seen it made me think even more.

The reason I would often watch a horror movie is to see what the outcome is like. How these characters will triumph over thier greatest fears. Everyone loves to see a hero but a hero in a horror movie is a different hero. Not a superhero, action hero, or some amazing guy off of the pages of some manga. But they are usually cast as a normal human with problems and difficulties and failures. Like all of us.

So now matter what we are dealing with we can get a little glimmer of hope that maybe one day things will be better. That one day the monsters in are lives will be over come. No matter how big or little the trials in your lives maybe one day they will end.

Robots Rule the Day

2004-07-30T18:59:00.000-04:00

Today I saw I Robot, this movie surprised the heckl out of me. I was utterly amazing. The story was great as well as the plot twists. The cg of the robots was fantastic all the animations were sooo realistic. The whole story played out so well that you couldn't tell who the villian in the story was until the end. I was told this was a good movie by one of my friend I saw bourne with the other day and he was right.

For those who don't know I Robot is a story about one man who doesnt trust robots even though everyone says he is crazy. The robots follow three laws:

A robot cannot hurt a human being
Robots must do what they are commanded to do unless this violates the first law
A robot must protect itself from harm unless it violates the first or second law

Civilization believes that these laws will protect them but obviously they are wrong. If i say anymore i will ruin the movie.

Anyways I would rank this movie a 9/10.

Thanks to Drew for telling advising me to go to the movie and Yuiichi for helping me with some computer stuff.

Supremacy not so Supreme

2004-07-30T14:48:00.000-04:00

I watched the bourne supremacy again yesterday with my buddies the first time i guess i was just caught up in the motions of the movie because at the end of the day it was not as great as i previously believed the plot was rather strange. There was very little speech from our main character and bourne would often run around place to place not knowing who was chasing him and why. So he constantly asked the same repetative questions over and over making you want to shout out at him.

The sequal to me was not as great as the origonal but it was a good espionage movie and rather entertaining action movie. The plot could have been edited from the book it was taken from to make it bit more interesting but all in all it wasn't bad I would rate it 7.5/10
