Darn, last time I posted a blog was... May 14th. I really should be keeping up appearances.
Anyways, a lot has happened over the past month. One of these includes me graduating middle school! That's right, from here on out I'm oficially a high-schooler! I don't really think it will be that bad seeing as my sister will be a senior while I will be a freshman this coming school year, but nevertheless I'm still excited.
Another thing that I recently got was the Sonic Sega Genesis Collection. That has, like, 50 retro Genesis, Mega Drive, and arcade games on it. I haven't gotten to play much of it, but I was able to play a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which now holds the title of cutest video game title screen ever IMO.
Look at Tails' tiny little fist!
Because of this, I've also become a huge Tails fan hence the new profile pic and the Tails drawing I put on my Facebook page. Like seriously, my Ipod touch's background is now this:
I've also got to play the first Streets of Rage a bit, and let me tell you, that game is the epitome of retro. I'm thinking of getting a few buddies over one day and just having a retro jamout where we sit and grind through Streets of Rage 1,2, and 3. I think now the Genesis Collection goes for about $20 and for that I believe it's a great deal. I would recommend it to anyone. Plus, this is one of the only games I can think of where the trophies are not just given out; you have to earn them, which speaks to the difficulty of the games I guess.
I've also been reading a bit. I began reading Farenheit 451 and I'm loving it. I'm about halfway through and I'm absolutely loving it. I believe I'll finish it by the end of this weekend. I've also began reading Gone with the Wind. This book is HUGE. I got through about a quarter of it when I just gave up. The main character is a whiny b*tch who complains about everything. it's just an extremely annoying book to get through. I gave it to a friend of mine who I'd thought would really like it. she is a really good friend of mine and she is leaving so I thought I'd give her something to remember this place by. Plus she really likes romantic stuff and it's a classic so I thought it would be good. I fell really bad that I'm just giving it away; it was a copy from the 1960's and it's still in great condition so I think it would be worth a lot on Ebay or something, but I guess I just gotta let go.
In the music department, our grade choir sang I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz for our graduation ceremony. I think that we performed really well but my dad's recording of it was not that good. I'll ask around if any of my friends has it recorded.
In the music listening department, I've gotten a few new albums on my Ipod. A couple of days ago, I asked my sister if she had any CD's that I could put onto my Ipod and she pointed to this one drawer in her room. It had albums from Michael Jackson, Beastie Boys, Lady Gaga, Diana King, TLC, Panic! at the Disco, and Hillary Duff ("Don't judge me!" my sister said!) She also had these two unused Itunes giftcards worth 40 dollars. She let me buy them from her for $30. I also bought the Journey Greatest Hits album from a thrift store for $3 which was worth every penny. With the Itunes gift cards, I bought the new Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories, one of The Black Keys newer albums, El Camino, which is great and has this southern rock sort of feel to it, and the new Justin Timberlake album, The 20/20 Experience. I'm not sure what to get with the last $11. Any suggestions? This month I hit the jackpot in terms of music.
I've also watched the entire nedw 4th season of Arrested Development on Netflix. This season was great, but it was a bit darker than what was expected. This season was a bit hit and miss with more hits than misses. I agree with the general consensus that the G.O.B. episodes standed out. I've also began watching Archer and Wilfre, both of which are great shows that are on FX vurrently. This isn't the ffirst time I've watched an FX show though, I've watched almost all of Louie. Why does FX have this thing where their shows are named after the main character? I guess it's not really a bad thing. Well, I guess it's only those three shows on FX that I actually watch, it's probably just a coincidence.
So, That's about everything that's happened to me this past month. I was going to do a recap about E3, but just about everything that needs to have been said has already been said. I'm super excited for Kingdom Hearts 3, even though I know it's still a long way off. I'll guess mid 2015 at the earliest, but that's a bit of a stretch. I think I'll hold off on any future console purchases until I play all the really great games from this gen.
So, any plans for the summer? I'm not going anywhere, so it's going to be a long summer of reading and playing games!
