Apology 2

I just want to apologize for the lack of updates for the last two weeks. I had a lot of stuff come up and happen at school last week and this week, and something else really unexpected happened tonight that prevented me form doing the news (and watching Supernatural). But I will be back tomorrow with the news some new columns either tomorrow, Saturday, or Monday, and maybe an announcement or two. And now I will leave you with one of the best scenes from Jaws because I need a something that will distract me right now. See ya later.

subject: 3...i think 3

I havn't posted anything this week cause well...i forgot to. so now i remembered todays subject will be...latest video games i want. First on the list in my book is Wrath of the Lich King which is coming out november 13. Unfortunatly i am an idiot and let my mother order it for me and now i have to wait till like 10 days after its release to play it /cry! But it is the Collectors edition so its kind of worth it. Second on my list of games i won't get till after everyone else plays it is Fable 2. I've seen a few reviews and videos about it on youtube a escapistmagazine.com and it looks very kool and a serious upgrade to the original fable for the x-box. Third on my list which is for x-box 360 (fable is as well) is Dead Space. This game looks very very kool, its a space horor which isn't even described as a first person shooter, so its more like an adventure game. Forth on my list which i just recently found out about is The Sims 3. I've seen a few of the trailors and backstage things about it and it looks very very very kool. In this new sims video game it has a major graphics boost for sims 2. one of its new features is the free roaming capability. which means now u wont be stuck at the one house, now u will be in the entire town, able to zoom in on each house to edite it. another very kool things that might just make me excited is the ability to make ur people fat! Unlike the recent games that when u make ur character fat its just their stomach that gets a little more round, But in this new one they entire body structure will change like a real fat person! After seeing this it makes me really excited for this game! :D so thats about it for this week's subject i hope that the little info i have has informed you of some of the latest videogames.


PS: if anyone see's this before the end of school i will be puting in links and probably pictures and maybe even videos. but first ill have to ask jake how to do that!
