i dont have much time, but i have recently found another educated super mutant who has given me a huge amount of information. nothing revealing or extraordinary, but just a few leads, but very interesting leads. ill talk more about them after i find the G.E.C.K.

wow. what a surprise. forget all the other ones i've told you, this one is crazy. i have to find a way to enter vault 87, but the entrance is so irradiated, you'll die in about 10 seconds. so i had to go into a cavern called Little Lamplight. it seemed like a normal cavern, except that I could hear galaxy news radio blasting a loud echo throughout the cave. it didn't take me a whole while to find out where it was coming from, as i saw a metal gate blocking my way. now this is where it got weird. i saw the patrol going up to the top of the gate to greet me, as usual with most gated cities, but freaked me out was when i heard the guards voice, it sounded like a little kid. i got a closer look and i saw that it was a kid! a kid in his pre-teenage years , but boy, if i could slap the little punk's face if i didn't know that he was my only way into Vault 87. they made a whole f****** city down here! a bunch of kids! im quite impressed but every single kid down here is an @$$hole. they call adults "mungos", and they kick anyone whos over the age of 18 out. i was lucky enough to pursuade the kid to open the gate for me, thank god.

i recently came to a raider camp at evergreen mills while heading to vault 112 to find my dad. i saw a couple of slaves and i figured, hell, i should rescue them. this was probably the largest camp i have found yet. what stood in the middle of the camp scared the f*** out of me though. there was a super mutant behemoth! i have only seen two, but these things are huge hulks, and they are a forced to be reckoned with. luckily, it was trapped in a electrified cage, but i saw the generator sitting right next to it. so after i cleaned up the whole camp of raiders and freed he slaves(and got a nice shotgun), i decided to take on the beast. i planted at least 8 mines, took out my new shotgun(which packs one hell of a punch), and shot the generator. i was so damn close to dying in the battle, but i was able to take it down with a few dozen shotgun rounds to the head. time to pack up and head to vault 112!

so i was out heading for a place called Minefield, this woman is having me do some awkward chores to help her out with her "wasteland survival book". i came across a strange sight, a super mutant fighting two other super mutants. i did not find it strange at the time, but when i got closer to the fight, i noticed the my pip-boy was not displaying the first super mutant as deadly. so after the fight ended, i decided to make contact with the super mutant. i was amazed! it was a friendly super mutant! he told me his name was Uncle Leo, and when i tried to ask him where he got his name, he was unsure; telling me that his name might have come from a book he read. fascinating! he has also confirmed some reports i heard, about super mutants taking other people to a secluded location, but what surprised me the most is that apparently all the captives they take are turned into SUPER MUTANTS! i have to remember this.

I have been recently been playing a little bit of Grand Theft Auto IV just because my friend got me into playing again. It actually hit me as a pretty interesting game after I started a new save file, but it seemed that the only thing that was keeping me interested was either getting new trophies or getting new weapons. It actually feels like a very rewarding experience after you get new items or features, which I never noticed or experienced before because I used cheat codes a lot after the game started to piss me off. I'm actually attempting to complete the whole game, but I know that is going to be a boring-as-hell experience.

I also have been playing a little bit of Mass Effect, working on trying to get the Extreme Power Gamer achievement(getting to level 60), and ALSO trying to complete most of the side quests and all the extra stuff(which would also lead to me getting the completionist achievement and one of the Ally achievements(playing most of the game with a certain teammate)).

That's pretty much it! Goo bye!

I really want to f****** get Fallout 3 now. The first 30 minutes of the game has hyped me up to the point that the second I get $60, I am walking at least 2 miles to the nearest Circuit City and picking it up. I have to say a few things though:

The character models aren't good, but they aren't AS BAD as Oblivion.
People were right, you do get desperate in the game, sometimes, especially when you have no med-packs or bullets, you really want to avoid almost every enemy.
VATS is...thank, god...NOT the perfect kill-everything button, which I like.
The GOAT didn't fulfill my life's dream of becoming a marriage counselor.

That's all I have to say for now. I recently picked up a used Mass Effect and continuing my old character to get a few more achievements. Bye!

Sorry I wasn't here to celebrate my blog's first anniversary/birthday on December 20th of last year when I finally decided to start this shindig. Now it's time to set some goals for next year:

1.At LEAST a hundred posts before my baby's second birthday.
2.Don't burn out.

I combined two things that will probably never work out with each other, but are going to have to work out. I'll start right about...now.

Man hunting vs. hunting...no, real hunting

I just bought two new video games, Call of Duty 5 World at War and Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009. One you probably have heard of and one you probobly havent. but its strange that I think that these two games are about equal. for starters, and dont lie to yourselves, if youve played World at War you know by now that its a little overrated. Its a good game and all, i just dont think that its worhty of all the hype its getting just because of the franchise. In almost every regard Treyarch just tore off Infinity Ward's work and glued it to a sheet of paper headed WORLD WAR 2.....AGAIN. I love ww2 and all, actually i love any sentence with WAR in it, unless its preceded by the word NO. But i was foolishly expecting a future Call of Duty... or at the very least an American revolution or Vietnam game. I mean come on! there's sooo many wars (YEAH!) and they go back to the same Bonzai's and Heil Hitler's. Seriously....its not that i dont like Hitler or Mussolini or Hideki Tojo or Good Ole Joe.... But really.... what about Robert E. Lee or King George III as an enemy?

Anime Breakout 14: What the heck happened?

Posted by Anonymous Monday, November 3, 2008 0 comments

It’s the same question I’m asking myself. I can watch 90+ episodes of Naruto in a week then finally burnout, but I can’t watch a little more then 25 episodes of Code Lyoko in about a month and THEN BURNOUT?!?!

It’s probably because my temporary internet provider is probably one of the slowest piece of $|-|1Ts I have EVER used. When I was watching all my Naruto episodes, I only had to wait about a minute for the video to buffer enough so I didn’t have to stop in the middle of the episode. Currently, it takes about 10 minutes for the video to buffer so I can get at least 1/3 through the episode without stopping. I despise you temporary dial-up.

Everything in my house should be up, ready, and clean by next week. So either expect meaningful updates or never seeing me again now that my video games are back.

Remember the first posts on VGNO close to a year ago? Well, in one of those posts, I posted Armake21's review of Halo 3. I wanted to go back and see his videos again, and I found out his profile was deleted, so I spent about 20 minutes trying to find his new videos(because EVERYONE does that), and I found out that many people(including me)compare Armake21 to AVGN, which I think is really cool, because he doesn't seem to get paid or doesn't seem to be a very large celebrity either, even though his reviews are just as great. I also learned while looking through all the praise of Armake21, I found out about a jack@$$ named Irate Gamer who seems to be an attention wh0r3 that spams both Armake and AVGN and calls them $h17. I watched his videos for a few minutes, and I think they are terrible rip-offs. I don't hate Irate because his videos are bad(because I really can't find a reason to call them bad, seriously.), I just hate him because they are basically ripoffs of Armake and AVGN and thinks that his videos are better. Anyway, I found his new profile and started to watch a series I used to love by him, Games That Suck. The title is true to the videos, as he reviews terrible games in a very comedic way. I think that this was the first video I saw by him, and it's still one of my favorites.

To see his new profile and his amazing videos, click here. WARNING: Not suitable for children or people easily offended by swearing.



Thanks to a recent RedRant podcast I listened to a few days ago, I found a nice video podcast/show that is pretty funny and has some good humor. It is called Awesome Video Games, and it’s about some kids that are played by 20-something year olds that are in the 8-bit era and a dad(also played by a 20-something year old with a fake mustache) which is really funny. What is also really cool is the camera work, as the camera zooms in and barrel-rolls around their faces in a really cool way(since the cameraman knows the script). It starts out chuckle-funny, but as you watch through the series, you will be LOL'ing at their hilarious stupidity and their pretty cool editing skills later on in the series. Check out the first episode up there ^^^.

DeviantArt Watch 1: Bleedman

Posted by Anonymous Tuesday, October 28, 2008 0 comments


Ok, if you ever have been on the homepage on DeviantArt.com, you probably have already seen a few of Bleedman’s pics but have never noticed it. Bleedman draws a lot of fan pics, and just as much original drawings, too. From what I have seen from his pictures, is that he takes a lot of cartoon shows and draws them in a style that makes it look like something like a professional manga, but still keeps the appearance of the original characters. He takes characters like Dexter (from Dexter’s Laboratory) and The Powerpuff Girls(from Self-Explanitory), and even the characters from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and not only makes them LOOK like a professional manga, but also makes a story that SOUNDS like a cartoon manga. He makes stories out of crossovers(if I tried to detail one of the stories, there would be about 20 crossovers and about 5 original concepts) and combines them with an extraordinary art style.

And today I will end, with an epic video.

Yay! Time for a progress report in Code Lyoko.

Skipped Episode 24 straight to 25 because I kind of got tired of the filter but the concept of episode 25 sounds pretty cool and I wanted to know how they would solve that. After watching about the first 15 episodes I REALLY wanted to watch Code: Earth where the series actually takes a dive for an actual plotline. I really have nothing else to say about the show but I think I will have more to talk about when there is I get to the actual plotline(like how many people talk about the downfall of Heroes).


Sorry it’s so short, but as you might notice in a while, both of my websites will be getting updates. This will go on until the first of December, when I choose…something. I’m actually thinking about how I could keep both websites alive. As you also might see in this game, the focus of this website is changing, Instead of being a complete video game blog, this is more focused on internet culture that normal people with normal live(who think the internet destroys societies). You will be seeing a lot of other features on this website that aren’t really video game related. And who knows? This probably might only last until I start playing video games again, which I am expecting to be somewhere in early November. Anyway, enjoy the new features when you can. They might only last a while.

I have nothing else to write about, so let's talk about karaoke parties!

Well, I'm at someone's house right now, bored out of my mind. A few minutes ago I was forced to karaoke or else my mom would take away my GoW2 preorder(not that I REALLY want it, I just want to ask her to switch it for Fable 2, Fallout 3, LBP, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, and all the other games much better than GoW). Luckily, I only sung 2; Creep by Radiohead(SOOO lucky it was there, I never knew it was), and Bohemian Rhapsody, which was probably one of the most embarrasing moments of my month, because 1. I am actually able to sing all the hard parts of the song, and 2. The karaoke machine has NOOO idea how the song's tune actually goes, no matter HOW MANY TIMES YOU SWITCH THE KEY!

Ahem, to extend the life of this post, I also decided to sign on to my mom's iTunes account and see what songs I bought back in the day. I'm not a real music person, okay?

Three Hundred by The Stereo
Disco Fiasco by Kristoffer Ragnstam
Less Talk More Rokk(Mark Saunders Remix) by Freezepop
Infected by Bad Religion
Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine
More Than A Feeling by Europe
The Perfect Drug by Nine Inch Nails
Miss Murder by AFI
most of the Halo 2 soundtrack...
Dragosta Din Tei(remember Numa Numa? Yeah, it's that song.)

and some other ones I don't feel like posting. Phewwwwwww.......goodbye everyone!

High Score Session 3: Yay?

Posted by Anonymous Tuesday, October 21, 2008 0 comments

Alright, time to move on to Tuesday's weekly segment. The high score session. Hell yeah, applause, woo!, and all the other exciting stuff. Welcome back from a long freaking hiatus.

Anyway, to buisness itself. I recently downloaded StepMania, and I have been working on my quite rusty DDR skills on the keyboard. I like knowing that I get better and better with less practice. I have been getting more AA's then I thought I would ever get, and these were the same songs I could barely get B's on a few months back.

And then, to actual games. I played a LOT of Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin. Ok, well, not played, exactly, because I kinda burnt out on the singleplayer, and my friend doesn't want me to replace his online data, even though he barely plays it(hasn't played it since February). I have been making a lot of huge custom maps, and watching CPUs going head-on to see who would win, and who's strategies were better. Usually, my maps are SO large that they end up being 6-hour long stalemates, until I finally end the game bored out of my mind. Then, I was alone in my car, doing what I was doing previously, waiting my mom to get some groceries. Then, I find myself narrating and commentating the things the CPU's were doing. I was pretty much saying what I thought I soldier would say when they wipe out a whole squad of bikes, infantry, or whole forces of tanks, anti-air, etc. This got me the crazy idea of making a fanfiction out of it!

..*cough*woah, did I go off on a tangent that SHOULD HAVE BEEN in this weeks Breakout. This tottally does NOT belong in the session. What does belong is:

I reached level 21 out of 26, I'm tottaly bored and have been making a hell of a lot of maps.

*checks to see if game I started 4 hours ago has ended*,

Nope. Still going.

And I have been unable to play any consoles *tear*, but when I do, this will be less of tangents, and more of actual scores.

So, until next week, see ya!

Oh, gosh. Here it goes again. I forget to even CHECK the website and now I have to make up for it with 3 posts(including this one) that I REALLY want to post but don't know if I could do. Oh well, let's go!

First off, I have been getting into a LOT of fanfiction again, and if you remember a few days ago, I posted a fanfiction from Full Metal Alchemist. Although I haven't been watching much Code Lyoko in a while(I am REALLY BUSY), I have still been trying to work my way through "Code Lyoko, a Retelling".

Then, I freaking start thinking about writing my own. Soooo, while playing Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin on the DS, I get this pretty awesome idea. What if I turn a custom game into an epic story? That would been amazing, wouldn't it? I would be able to play a very long and EPIC game of Advanced Wars, and I could add a lot of interesting narration to it!

Finally, I have my anime skills I'm still working on. I have yet to find a style that I like, as all of the styles I have tried are cool, but have no real "Cute/Awesome" to any of them. And I am TERRIBLE at drawing action scenes. I can only draw still images, and usually on portraits. I also have to work on C-R-E-A-T-I-V-I-T-Y because I keep on drawing the same type of characters,'The war damaged teenage that is ownage with a sword', 'the evil and no one likes this guy but he looks so ownage and has a model VERY similar to Sephiroth but half his age', 'the emo teen that trys to find meaning to his life', etc.

Well, that's enough for a Breakout. Ok. I lied. I HARDLY believe that there was enough anime in this breakout. I kind of did this on the fly because my great idea for this week's 'out was lost in my mind. I am working on finding it, and when I do, I'll post it next week. Get ready for....High Score session!

P.S., sorry, couldn't work on a header this week, I am too busy with other things right now....

POPUP VIDEO 3: Geometry Wars

Posted by Anonymous Sunday, October 19, 2008 0 comments

Popup Video time! Today's theme, Geo Wars!


This video was made by Matthew McCarthy about the Xbox Live Arcade game Geometry Wars 2 titled "Geometry Wars Will Be The Death of Me". He sings about everything he hates about Geometry Wars 2, which is pretty much everything. I like this version of the song, but if you click the link, there will be a download for the studio version of the song which, in my opinion, is much better. I could say all the same things about Math class.



This is a video of pro Geo Wars player K4rn4ge getting a very, VERY high score on Waves mode in Geo Wars 2. This video is crazy! I like the end especcialy.



And this is a video of the same player getting another high score in a different mode, Evolved, which is pretty much like the first game except with the new enemies and gameplay changes. I love 1:20. It proves that even pros make mistakes.

And that's it for today! I already have something for Anime Breakout tommorow, so see you until then!
