PAX

PAX was great. I'm not sure I need to say much more since the only people that will read this are the people I went with. Oh well, quick overview.

Friday mostly walking around and checking everything out. Orion and Davis did a long magic tourney for most of the day, and David and I did a GH2 tourney where we only managed past the first round since it was my second time playing the game ever. We spent time in the exhibition hall getting tons of free game demos and trials, along with posters and discounts for gaming products. Oh, and I can't forget the BAWLS. We finally got our hands on some bawls, and I thought it was great. (For those of you thinking I am gay, bawls is a caffeine drink).

Saturday was a pretty exciting day. Orion David and I were all signed up for a GW sealed...skill? deck?... tourney. Hero battles with 80 random skill cards. Orion was first up. Went 2-1 possible only losing his first game because he was new to hero battles. I went 1-2, realizing I rushed the build process way to much and ended up with shitty hero's that didn't do my planned combos, and I horrible warrior build that I controlled. Looking over my cards, I could have pwned much more. Later that day Orion and I went to our DD (Mario Kart:Double Dash) tourney. As was usual with the console tourneys, it was delayed. We did one practice run, and then scouted out the competition as everyone else played many practice runs. Format was 8 teams per race, 4 races per match, top 2 of every match moves on. We did well in the first round ending up tied for 1st (See Orion's blog soon for exact places of each race). Second round was a bit closer. I know we got a 5th, witch I was thinking would end our tournament dreams, however we managed a final race 1st and pulled into second. Top 2 whoo!! FINAL ROUND! We pretty much got pwned. There were clearly racers better than us, and they rightfully won, but we did manage to scrap out a modest 6th. I'm proud of us, and can't wait for next year.

Sunday we were entered in the GoW tourney. Lol I know hilarious right? I'm not sure why David thought we would do well, it was quite clear we all sucked after our "warm-up" in the console freeplay the day before. I'll hold the match details for us to know, and never release (hopefully). We didn't get past the first round.
Overall good times. Oh fuck... long post... sorry I guess now i have to read your guys' long posts.

Exhaustion: Take Two

Second soccer practice, even more exhausting. I don't know if I will do cross counter now... soccer is tiring enough. Made some new edits to teh blog of pwnage, the layout has changed a bit, and now I have some more options with what to do with it. Also, I've decided to let you guys pick songs that I should add to teh blog. Something like, every Monday I'll take the suggestions and put them into a vote, then whichever wins will be the song for the next week. Hopefully this will encourage more people to visit teh blog of pwnage more often.

Exhaustion

First day of soccer practice with the Blue Angles today, and I can safely say that I haven't felt this exhausted since soccer last year.. actually probably since soccer with SW. It's a weird feeling when you haven't felt it in a long time. I went home, got the water pitcher, and sat down in a comfortable chair for 45 minutes. Every 5 minutes after the first 30 minutes I tried to get up, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. Finally I made it downstairs, got on aim, apologized to Stefano for missing the first xc practice, and am now typing out my first good post in a long time. Hopefully posting will become more regular now, since I'm going to be more active now. Also I'm slowly giving up Maple.

One last note: you may have noticed that I'm using correct spellings and capitalizations, and this is because I figured I would get a head-start on getting into "school mode".

PAX

In light of the upcoming gaming expo, i think I'm going to take a needed break from MMOs and revert back to cs:s. Also... I NEED STARCRAFT!! Seriously my longing for some protoss pwnage is causing my other gaming to seem boring. If anyone could let me borrow ANY starcraft and broodwar cd's they have, with ANY cd keys they have would be great. It doesn't matter that you got the cd key from me, because i lost my cd key, so any will do. I NEED SC NOW!!
