FINALLY. Free from assignments and projects and tests and exams. For now anyway. I've got a stupid research paper to write for my History of Animation class due on the 4th. So i'll have to get started on that sometime soon.

Got all my classes registered a week ago. Here's what i'll be taking next semester:

<li>Abnormal Psychology
<li>Child Psychology
<li>Organizational Psychology
<li>Human Sexuality (kekekeke)

Less than 2 weeks to go before Halo 2 comes out. Dead Or Alive Ultimate is out today. GTA: San Andreas and Ace Combat 5 just came out yesterday. And i just got Paper Mario last week. *sigh* So many games, so little time (and money).

I'll be picking up DOAU tomorrow and i'll probably be getting GTA:SA and AC5 in the mail in about a week or two (from my mom, i refuse to spend US&#036;100+ on GTA and AC when i can get the US&#036;2.50 or so bootlegs sent from back home). But before i do all that, i need to finish off Paper Mario first. Only two chapters left to go (Paper Mario is a great game btw. Lots of LOL moments).

By the time i get GTA, Halo 2 will probably be out. I have no idea how i'm gonna juggle playing all those games at the same time. Stupid game companies. Releasing all their AAA titles at the same time. Fuck the holiday spending season. They should just spread out all their games releases throughout the year. Who has the money to spend &#036;400/500+ dollars on videogames in two months?? Makes me wish i was back home where i can pick up 5 PS2 games for something like, &#036;12 bucks. Kekeke. Yep.

Seriously, any of you read the IGN review of GTA:SA yet? Best game ever. 9 point fucking 9. Wonder what Halo 2 will get. It got a 9.7 from OXM.

And then there's MGS3, the new Prince of Persia game, Metroid Prime 2, Resident Evil 4 (which has thankfully been pushed back to the first quarter of 2005), Need For Speed Underground 2, Forza Motorsport and.. ....

TOO MANY GAMES.

(btw, no i don't download games or play PC games either. so Half Life 2 isn't on my must buy list. what's on yours?)

Anyway, i'll be on Live on DOAU this week. I'll probably suck since i haven't played DOA2 since the Dreamcast days (i never got the third game). Time to get practicing with the demo version. Gamertag: Psykotik 2000.

I'm by no means a hardcore gamer. The only console game I'm looking forward to is WWE RAW vs SmackDown! for the PS2. On the computer side, once World of Warcraft comes out, I expect to be a hermit for quite some time.

Just got GTA:SA. I'm heading for the cave now, I'll be out in 2 weeks for food and, and more beer. My first goal is to swim off the first island and see how long I can last with the 4-star wanted level.

I picked up the new PSTwo last week (from Target, of all places. They've had them on the shelves here in Seattle for a week now) and the thing is just too cool. Tiny, quiet, but only worth it if you don't already have the original.

I don't have time for hw, let alone video games ... because I spend too much time on websites like this! Thankfully, I don't have any video games to play even if I had the time (my bro back home has a XBox ... bastard) ... Halo 2, GTA:SA ... the list goes on and on ... personally, I'm hyped for the just announced Batman Begins EA game ... hopefully it won't suck. GTA:SA I hear is badass ... but, alas, I'm reading Sociology and Psychology texbooks ...

That is what I am taking this semester. What textbook are you using? I am using this <a href='http://btobsearch.barnesandnoble.com/bo ... XT=Y&itm=1' target='_blank'>one</a> It really is a great class at least with my teacher it is.

Been playing GTA for like two days now (bootleg copy). It's the same old goodness with added fun. Alot more personal touches from getting an afro to buffing up so you can kill people faster.


Cant wait for FM2005 myself. Sign me up for endless clicking at a screen full of letters and numbers. Some people just dont see the fun in it.

I'm so jealous of you.
Yes. I'm jealous of Justin.

I have to take Development of Personality, Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences, Religion Culture and Archeology, and Geographical Theories of Dinosaurs and Extinction.

Wanna trade?
