    I play with myself. Do you wanna play with me?

    Its no secret. I am a gamer. A hardcore gamer, infact. I enjoy building up a civilization, for the pure enjoyment of decimating another. I enjoy destroying American forces with nothing but a pair of pistols. I enjoy customizing monsters so ugly and gruesome, and incinerate the opponents! Gaming plays a large part of my life, a large part of social life and had made made many friends. Even if people say otherwise, gaming with a bunch of mates is still a great way to spend the night.
    Right now, Im playing a small selection of games, and lusting for one big one...

    If you take a look at my Steam profile, its pretty obvious to see what one of my favorite games at the moment is. Team Fortress Two is one of the greatest FPS's to hit a computer in a long, long time. Its fun, unique, and it suits you nomatter what your playing style of the moment is. Your one of those bastards who run around with the rocketlauncher, blasting men to pieces? The soldier! You like 'nading everything, or leaving explosive little surprises? Try the demoman! Or are you the kinda person who hangs back and heals up the wounded? Go the medic!
    You have nine class choices, each unique enough to offer a different playstyle and combat method. I myself am great at most of the classes, but over everything else, I am a devastating Scout and a sharpeyed Sniper (42 point high score). As most of the people who play are, Im an awesome Soldier, nearly perfecting the rocket jump (and doing very sneaky stuff on the 2Fort map. :D ). Spy is always fun, too. You get a great, and sick, sence of pride after you slaughter someone who thought you were his backup.
    If you can, find a party server, or anything with allspeak.

    I've also dropped back into my deep, turtler RTS's. After a long time playing CnC Generals Zero Hour, Im back to the great and rich Age of Empires 3 and Supreme Commander. AoE3 is one of the only RTS's that I enjoy playing on my own, mainly due to some of the cheeky and smartarse AI voices. Unfortunately, I have not been able to buy the expansions (Warcheifs and Asian Dynasties) due to it being sold out. My Germans, will give you such a sence of hope, then destroy you, right where it hurts. My British will just hurt you, slowly, throughout the game.
    Just recently I bought the expansion to SupCom (well, I bought a new 'Gold' edition, so my mate my buy my first SupCom, and he may play it also). I have taken a huge liking to the new 'Seraphim' race, as, like me, their very defensive, and have excellent AntiAir (great, because most of the prick units in the game fly.)

    A game, however, that keeps drawing me back like an abused dog, is Pokemon. I was off it for months, then all of a sudden "Hey, do you have this Pokemon?" - "Why, yes I do" -after trade- "Wanna battle?"... and so it was, I was hooked, again.
    This time, however, Im doing it differently. Screw you who chose Pokemon just because there powerful! Im forming a party around Pokes that I thing are awesome; Primeape, Rotom, Gengar (because its my favorite Pokemon evolution, Haunter). Pokemon that I love, not ones that are just flexible in the metagame.

    However, the biggest thing in gaming hassnt happened yet. Halo 3? Psht. Cryris? Psht. Those have sold pocket change in comparison to what this will sell, and get played. Hell, we've all played its prequil, and if you havent, you no doubt want to.
    Super Smash Brother Brawl is huge. Gamewise, characters, depth. The greatest multiplier experience you'll ever have. SSBM, as a perfect example of what the game will like, was great itself. If you never enjoyed it, you are a gaming minority, and an unfortunate few. Brawl, if you havent seen it, has everything of the last game (minus some useless characters), plus more, with arseloads of new improvements. New characters, like Wario, Snake, and even Sonic. New arenas. New items (because real men play with items!), and new modes.
    Are you a gaming loser who hates multiplayer, well, finally, the series have something for you too! Now with a deep single player, where you take on all sorts of gaming villanry. Lucky enough to have a friend? Take on co-op! Not in the house? Do it online!
    Some reviews are already in, with perfect results. Game of the Forever, anyone?

    Last game I said 'I am going to love this game', it was TF2. Look how that ended. :D This is different. The world will think I've gone missing!

     

    Rossi, build'em'up or shoot'em'down, I'll take you on. And will probably destroy you.

    18

    Its happened. That day so many wait for, long for, LIVE for (well, in the first chunk of their life).
    I've become 18.
    Now if only the actual event was that epic. Most people would expect, or hope for, some sort of revelation, or epiphany, or even some sort of overwhelming burst of maturity. Hell, even as a mate said "what, you didn't even get any extra pubes or anything?". Nope. Nothing. My big day, which was 3 days ago, was, well, like any other day. I woke up, had breakfast, and sorda went about my normal business. Washed my clothes, tidied my room. Spent most of the day lazing around. The only real difference was the two gifts I received. A mystery day out (that is two weeks away) and some dustcatcher. Got some money, also, which wasn't bad. Also, apparently mums getting me some epic leather Matrix style jacket, which sounds AWESOME.

    But, like what everyone's quoted to me when I was 16, and now that I'm 18; "You can now do all the things you were doing before, but legally!"

    A birthday I did enjoy, though, was a day I spent out with a mate of mine, who was celebrating her 17th. A day after mine, which is kinda cool, we went and spent the day down at Adventure World. It was the first time I had been to Adventure World, and it was pretty fun. Cues were a pain, but good company made them go alot faster.
    Gotta say, though. Rides were nowhere near as badass as the adds made them out to be. Some were pretty fast and exiting, but just didn't make me freak. Just ride them with a sick satisfied grin over my ugly face, the same one I get when I'm watching a bad horror movie. Was a great day out, and definitely some fun to celebrate to birthdays in a row.

    However, there is SOME good news does come from my day of birth... Employment opportunity. EPIC employment opportunity. There is a high chance I may get a job at Club X. For all you more 'innocent' readers (Ah-hahahaha!! 'Sif), Club X is basically Adulthood. They sell sex toys, sex novelties, and other erotic paraphernalia. Also, porn and nudie shows are in there, but believe it or not, its the least of my interests. Everyone I've told, has said pretty much the same thing "That's like the PERFECT job for you"... which I don't know if its a complement or insult. Either way, their pretty much spot on the money. Which again, is where I hope this job lands me.
    So yeah, birthday wasn't all bad.
    Plus, its looking that I might be heading out for some clubbing in the very soon future, which is never a bad thing.

    Rossi, just cause I'm 18, doesn't mean I'm anywhere near adult!

    Ex-New Years Day

    Day late and generic, its time for the New Years 'blog entry!

    In 2007 were my greatest highs, and my greatest lows. Its almost a shame I didnt keep this bastard updated, because Im not gonna do any long winded reminicing (even if I would tell you).

    The new year also means one other thing. 2 weeks to my birthday. I'll be 18, which means basicly "You'll be legally allowed to do everything you were doing anyway".

    Things to do this year (early this year);
    Learn to drive, get P's.
    Work out more.
    Go on travels with my Vook Crew.
    Take my art more seriously.
    Eat at least two new animals.

    (nope, nothing about having fuller, more inspired 'blogs! ;D )

     

    Rossi, wishing you a better year then last.
