One word: Zombies...
Oh, the events that has occurred since my last entry... College break, Christmas, XBox 360, Dead Rising, New Year, my birthday, etc. Well, here I go. I'm on my college break, having failed, I believe, three classes. I go back on the 11th. Christmas was bitter-awesome as I shall explain. Awesome part: My aunt, uncle, and cousins visited us from China (Luckies...) for the holidays. They're doing well over there. We had fun spending time with each other. For Christmas I got a XBox 360 along with Dead Rising to go with it. (More on that later.) Bitter part: I spent all but five dollars out of my savings and checkings account. Considering what I got, it was worth it. I'm looking forward to the new year as my resolutions are to get my driver's license and a job. I'm 19 years old now and quite dissatisfied with myself. Other than actually attending college, I have done nothing to improve or better myself as a person. I'm still not sure on what to do on that. There's my short recap of what has happened during the past few weeks. Now for the big news.

Concerning my last entry, I had made true to getting a XBox 360. It was because of my friends's purchase that led me to get this powerful system, but it was more so of Dead Rising that led to this. Dead Rising is Capcom's latest game of their popular genre: survival horror, which includes zombies. For those who have played the Resident Evil series thought that you were dealing with enough zombies through one play of the game, I must laugh at you immensely. There are thousands and thousands of zombies to go against. For a better description of the game, think of this as Resident Evil and Dawn of the Dead combined. Just about everything in the mall is a weapon, and the mall itself contains every kind of store you can think of. Kill insane people and save the sane ones. Yeah, it's that awesome. I have been playing that game at least six hours a day now. My best achievement so far has been killing over 53,594 zombies which unlocks the Mega Man Buster. Best. Weapon. Ever. 300 rounds of pure death laser blasts. The best part is that you have an endless supply in the "base of operations." I've hacked, slashed, smashed, blown up, shot, blasted, impaled, tasered, beheaded, disemboweled, and even run over well above 200,000 zombies since getting this game. I even had some dreams involving zombies. This game is addictive and I love it! I'm not sure when I'll quit and play something else, however unlikely that sounds. While on the subject of games, I played Guitar Hero 2 at my friends's place. It is pretty challenging. You have to hold a button on the guitar-controller and "strum" up or down on a switch to play a note. It's just as addictive as DDR and does take some time to get a feel for it. I MIGHT get it, but I think getting a new system has overly expended my video game quota for a while. Oh well... I'm done here. I don't feel like putting anything up at the moment. I guess I'm gonna have to start putting more entries at shorter intervals so that I can put more stuff than just one or two subjects like my usual habit is. And to quote the great Frank West (The main character in Dead Rising.), "Well, we're up to our necks in zombies. Yeah, I think I appreciate the situation just fine."
