One of the Greatest Games Ever Made

   

   For the past week I have been replaying The Orange Box. This was the first game I got for the Xbox 360 and I haven't played it since Christmas 2007. Last night I beat Half-Life 2 and the entire time I was playing I kept thinking about how great this game is. The story was done well and kept me intrigued. The pacing felt like I was in an action movie that never slowed down or got boring. My heart was racing the entire time I played. The characters each had a unique personality and felt like real people rather than cookie-cutter cliches(excuse the alliteration).

 

The Abridged Version

   In summary, I think this is one of the best, if not the best, video game ever made. Even though this has been out for years, I think it's a better game than nearly all the console games released within recent times. If you've never played this game then do yourself a favor and go rent it. And if you have played it, play it again so you can remember how much fun it is.

 

What are your thoughts?

With all that's been happening in Japan, I'm curious to know how everyone feels about nuclear power. Do you think it's a good idea? A bad Idea? Why?

Are you against nuclear power plants?

An Outlandish and Stupid Video

Here's a ridiculous video I found of a guy covering Children of Bodom's Lake Bodom. I thought it was funny. The original song is one of my favorite songs and Children of Bodom are one of my favorite bands(at least their first three albums).

Another cool 8 bit song and artist

You might want to turn down your volume for this one.

  Here is another 8 bit song I found on youtube. This one is called Horizon by Xinon. 

Awesome 8-bit song

I found this really cool 8 bit song on youtube. I want to make music like this some day. If you want to hear more from this artist, his youtube channel page is http://www.youtube.com/user/Srjl.

Might have some songs to post soon

I'm thinking about making some 8 bit style songs and uploading them in the next few days. It may take longer because I want to get some work done this weekend. I might remix one of my older songs but I'd rather come up with something new. We'll see what happens.

First Blog Post!

This is my very first blog. I hope it turns out awesome. In future posts I hope to discuss comic books, movies, video games, philosophy and other things that are of interest.
