Well, a while back, I received this game as a Christmas present from my brother. I immediately picked up the game and played through arcade mode with all the characters, and even ventured into the Weapons Master mode and beat it 100% (all levels, maximum character level and all weapons (but not all costumes and extras)) with my favorite character, Link.
Just recently, I picked the game back up for the VGWB, only to realize something horrible: I suck at SC2. I’m not talking slightly bad, but able to beat the game bad. No, I mean suck. I can’t do the moves, I can’t dodge, and I can’t even beat the first few levels on Weapons Master mode. What the heck happened?
I’m not really sure, but I can tell you this: I’m great at RPGs and FPSs, but I really suck at fighters. I’ve played Tekken with some of the greatest players in this country, and I was beaten by them. So, sadly, I have come to the realization that maybe fighters aren’t for me. Thus, I’m putting SC2 to one side, and instead moving on to Skies of Arcadia: Legends. Call me a cheat if you want, but it’s just too hard for me.

The Blue Bomber and his older, darker cousin, X, are both known for their excellent side-scrolling shooters. However, Capcom decided to switch the tried and true formula for a traditional turn-based combat RPG. How does the game fit in with the others in the series? Read on to find out.

In my search for a good PC FPS and a good first-person RPG, I was recommended Deus Ex by a fellow RPGCer. Deus Ex is a very expansive RPG in the vein of Elder Scrolls, but with a huge twist. What would that be? It’s an FPS. A very futuristic FPS. This is one of the greatest ideas I have in recent games, read the rest to find out more about this awesome game.
I Hate the Internets August 3, 2007

Have you ever worked on something for a long time, hoping to achieve a certain goal only to realize that the higher powers (in my case Gore and his cronies) have deigned a different course for you? Well this happened to me recently, and it was a real break to my internet confidence. What exactly happened?
Well, I’ve been working on my computer hacking skills (I put aside my bo staff skills training and whatnot for now) and my first step was basic web programming. I studied HTML, XHTML and CSS, taking a quiz for each to make sure I knew what I was doing. I was ruled 95% in both HTML and XHTML and 92% in CSS. That’s pretty good, right?
The next step in my journey was to take the Exam offered by the W3CSchools. I spent a few days studying, and finally got the courage up to take the exam. However, I was not accepted. Why? With an average of 94% on the quizzes, and days of study, I could have aced the exam. I wasn’t accepted because I didn’t have $59. Yeah, you have to pay to take the exam. Instead of making you take the exam and pay for the certificate, they make you pay to even load up the page. So, I put the idea (and the link) on the back burner for now.
I should have known that a certificate recognized by most major universities wouldn’t be free, but that’s me, I don’t think about that. Will I take the exam? Yeah, I will, but only when I have a spare 60 dollars. I’ll get over my hate of the Internets soon, but I need a little grieving time first.
