I was kinda creeping around the internet and went to starcraft.org to see what's going on there. And then I noticed SCLegacy headlines, and one cought by eye so i clicked on it. The article was an interview about Project Revolution. Prject Revolution is a Warcraft 3 mod. The special thing is that they are basically recreating Starcraft. Updating it if you will. Making 3d, better ai, and they are even going to release their World Editor that they are using (they have a custom made world editor that they are using to make it). One of the sweet things is that you'll still be able to play regular WC3, Frozen Throne, Broodwar and SC with the mod installed. It requires all of the games to be curtious to Blizzard, so people could play "Starcraft" without owning it (Cause the mod will be free), and obviously you need both the WCs to play. But enough of that. It's exciting to me, but I'm not overly hyped about it.
Another game i just got excited for is Hellgate: London. I am excited for two reasons: the game looks like it's going to be really really sweet, and it's made by the company Flagship Studios. You probably have never heard of them, and I hadn't (or at least realized I hadn't) until recently when play around starcraft.org and found flagshipstudios.org and by the way, I like the unofficial site, .org then the official site .com for flagshipstudios. but anyway. For those of you who don't know who they are, they started making the game Hellgate London a couple years ago. Under a different name, the team also made the game Diablo and Diablo II. Not Blizzard, but Blizzard North. Also some people who help make Starcraft and Warcraft are also part of the new company. I don't know if they were let go from Blizzard, or they quit, but either way, Hellgate looks like a really sweet game. Graphically, I can see a lot of similarities with Diablo II, except for better graphics. But like the colors, they are similar, and the monsters. Even the story is something that could be thought up by the makers of Diablo. So this game I am excited for.
Well that's all for now. Later.

I had the day off today. It's like my first Saturday every to have off without requesting it off. I spent just relaxing, and enjoying it. I watched a couple episodes of Trigun. I also played a lot of New Super mario Bros. for the DS. The game is really fun. Brings back those old days of playing Mario 3 and Super Mario World. It's also frustrating at times. There are some giant coins, as i call them, that you need to collect, and they can be pretty frustrtating to get. But it's fun overall. I also watched a movie today. I watched Donnie Darko, for like the 4th time. I notice something new evertime I watch that movie. That's basically what I did today, besides eating. Just thought I'd share my day with you.

I have half a debate to write. That sucks. At first it started fun, but then they assigned it to us. Then it just sucked from there on. Debates are kinda hard for me. I see good on both sides. I alos see the bad on both sides. So I can say, "Hey this is a good point" but then i go "but they can counter attack with this point" so stalemate or my side getting beaten down. And not to mention that they gave us our topics and our side. So I have to debate on why the U.S. should allow immigration. I'm not for or against it. Simple logic of, "Well the United States was founded by Immigrants" doesn't pertain to now days, and the opposing "tyhe U.S. is overcrouded" just isn't true. Solution: move to the moon and start your own country on it. Although that wouldn't work too well cause you would have to import everything... and apparently that's bad for a country's economy if you can't export anything. Basically I have to no initiiative to do it. I have even less initiative to debate over it tomorrow. Nowe the New Super Mario Bros. on the other hand, I have tons of initiative to play that... too bad I have half a debate to write. I hate my teachers who are like "students have tons of fun with it" while so far all i've heard are groans about it. The topics are just... how should I put it without sounding like a stereotypical teen toward a stupid project... worthless? I mean a debating skill is a good thing, but generally you debate on things you are passionate about. Then again the teachers some how made a debate skill with being a bestman at a wedding and toasting the couple... not sure how they made that corrilation (i think that's spelt wrong).
I need to stop whining. If any of you are pro immigration and happen to see this tonight, you should email me some main points. Later.

My head feels like it's vibrating. It doesn't hurt... it's just incredibly annoying. I'm also pretty ticked cause I was waiting on formatting my hard drive until my video finished downloading, but it seems that the virus has provoked my computer to end all connections to the internet. That sucks. I was 72% done. SO I wasted a week of downloading basically, unless it starts working again. BJ is fat. Although that sucked, I did put in my new 500 watt power supply for my computer. Happy for me. I'm hoping to get my hard drive back from my brother. I had a 20 gig harddrive before, but then I bought an 80 gig harddrive. But my old power supply could only handle one harddrive. So with my new one, I can use my old harddrive along with my 80 gig harddrive. That beard was awsome. So having an extra 20 gigs will be nice. But my brother is using it for a class right now. But his school is over next week. So it'll be mine again. But still, I'm dissappointed about my video file that I can't finish downloading yet. I'll havfe to start over when I format. Well I'll probably start formatting tomorrow and then have Windows reinstalled on thursday.
I went down to Target to buy a can of air. So I did. Then I'm like, "I should go to the Rainbow Shop and buy Grit's 7 cd."So I arrived there and I noticed that they had some other CDs I wanted to buy... 3 other CDs... total of 4. So I bought them. Total: 32 bucks. Now you have to ask, Rainbow Shop, 4 CDs, 32 bucks!? CDs there are usually 17 bucks. I got some good deals. two CDs that were 10 bucks and two CDs for 6 bucks... or something like that. I've decided that I like the original mix of a CD vs. a remix. And so far that continues to be true. I bought John Reuben's "In Hindsight the Professional Rapper isn't there yet" or something similar to that. Which has remix versions of a lot of his songs. I have to say that I dislike several of the remixed songs on the CD. I like the originals a lot better. I also bought Grit's "Art of Transformation" but I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet. Well I have to go up and do some dishes. Later.

I'm sitting on my computer in the basement. For those of you that haven't realized, my room is upstairs and I rarely use the basement computer. So why am I blogging from it? Basically, look at the title. You should read the post previous if you haven't. I wanted to play Sims 2. But since the little CD emulation thing, I couldn't. So i looked for a way around it. I thought, "Hmm... ah hah, No CD hacks! Geneous!" So I tried to find one. EA did a really good job to stop hackers. I couldn't find one... but what I did find was a freaking virus! Or more like 10 Viruses roled up into one fake No CD Hack! So EA indirectly gave me a virus. Now I'm planning on formatting my hard drive. Oh and right before I "installed" the "No CD hack", I decided to uninstall Norton. Yeah. I installed Avast, which is another antivirus program, but it required a restart, which i hadn't done yet. Yeah. Hate to say this, but I wish I would have had Norton then. It probably would have helped. Avast is doing it's job... somewhat. I mean it's finding a bunch of viruses and deletes them, but there is a virus program that creates those viruses at start up, and Avast can't find it apparently. I decided on formatting. My computer has been slowly decreasing every since my last format. Oh well. I shall live. I just backed up a bunch of files. All I have left is some video files... about 10 gigs worth if I want to wait for some videos to download, which I am doing right now. 5.88 Gigs worth. That's a lot by the way.
I'm gonna let you to yourselves now. Later cats.

I feel my rights have been violated by two companies: Sony and Electronic Arts. Sony didn't provoke to blog, but EA overstepped its limits. For those of you who don't know, Sony has a little CD protection thing on their music Cds that if you put it in your CD rom, you basically get a virus. Goody. My computer has been partarlly (that word doesn't look spelt correct... probably isn't) crapping out probably because of this. For instance, I can't download Windows XP updates. Anyways, that's a problem for when I need to format which will probably come soon. But EA, oh man I feel like kicking them in the crotch. I bought the Sims 2, for I wanted to experience the joy of controling the fate of a little sim. So I go to Best Buy (because Target was out) and i pay 35 bucks for it. I then arrive home and open up it. I install all four disks onto my computer, no problems. After installing, it asks if I would like to launch it. I agree for I can't wait any longer. Error message pops up, "Please insert disk 1." Of course, I thought to myself. I had disk four in because that was the last install disk. So i insert disk 1 and double click on my newest desktop shortcut (Sims 2, for those not following very well). The spalsh screen for Sims 2 pops up... and then an error message pops up. "Please insert the correct CD-Rom" Hm... what? later, after visiting tech support and doing some searching, i find the exact error message in the FAQs. The had lots of suggestions for me. None of them applied, except one. CD emulation. Now when you see emulation you may go, "Oh Roy, you stealing video games from the SNES and NEs have caught up to you." But that's not CD emulation. CD emulation is DVD decryptor, or a more common program, Nero or any CD burning software. And kick EA's groin. I hate it. See that's why I should download games illegally. Not saying I will. Cause I probably won't.
Oh so I got a bloody nose today. It was really bad. I used like 4 tissues, and then they were gone. So I was using napkins. After using up the tissues, I was switching to napkins, and blood was just dripping down my face. I let blood drip down the sink for a couple of seconds. I'm sure that didn't improve my situation. I tried every trick in the book.... then i combined them and it finally stopped. I was going to take a picture of blood dripping down my face and make you guess what happened, but i figured that losing blood at a rapid rate would not be good for my health, just so I could take a picture. I hope you all are grossed out.
So I went to Rock 30 yesterday. Yeah that was great. Andrew was selling a Logitech speaker set for PSPs, and I've been wanting one, but they are 60 bucks. He sold it to me for 30 bucks. Sweet. I also bought a new Frolf disk. It's a Wraith. I hope to test it out tomorrow... or today i should say. I'm going to go to bed i think now. I'm kinda sad I can't play Sims 2. I uninstalled Nero, but that didn't work. I have a bunch of crap on my computer. I really need to format. I might just do that, and see what happens. Peace all.

I was thinking to myself that the best time to update a blog is when I should be sleeping. So I decided to update my blog. I should be sleeping. I think I have stated that. So anyways, I had to get up early and go to school... for those of you who don't pay attention to dates, today is Saturday. I took the ACT this morning. What a complete waste of my time. It's not a very accurate measure of intellect. And some how that word seems spelt incorrectly. But, seriously, they don't give you enough time. Maybe if they gave you enough time, it'll bump up the accuracy, but it still won't be very accurate, and they know it. Why? Because they teach you how to guess to prep you for the ACT. At that point, you should realize that maybe it just isn't working out. So that's how I spent my morning. I did well on the English and Math test, although the last 10 of the Math test I filled in random bubbles, because I had one minute left and there was no way I would get all of them done. So might as well guess. Have a chance at getting 10 more right, instead of getting 2 maybe right, and 8 definitely wrong. Yeah. Then on the reading and Science part, I had like 10 questions left in each section. It's not that I don't know how to read, it's just that I read and then have to go back and re read a section because the question is like "It can be inferred that paragraph 3 (15-25) is a blah blah" and i have to go and reread that section to know what the heck it's talking about. Slap. And for science. Easy, but you have to study the charts and graphs in order to answer the questions and for me that takes a little bit more time. Enough of the ACT.
So April 1st came along and I was in Antelope MT where my grandma doesn't have a computer, so I was not a victim of Internet Fooling. But I'm a curious cat and checked up on what kind o f jokes occurred. My favorite one was www.gtachicago.com. Beautiful. It was not put on by Rockstar games. This guy bought the domain and set up a "Coming Soon" site that looked just like the other gta coming soon pages. This guy had people that had GTA fansites adding a section for it. I laughed at that one. Blizzard did three. One was Burgercraft, a resturant chain with Blizzard's games theme. Another one is that Gamespot posted an article about World of Starcraft. The "screenshots" looked impressive and I almost wish it were real.
And last but not least is that I think you should check out my website. That's royfuss.com Easy to remember. Nighty night peeps.

I have a paper due tomorrow. That's why I blog. I tried working on it last hour but that didn't work. I have a couple of unfinished paragraphs, and like the topic sentence of each paragraph. Sadly, no supporting details. You may say, "it's easy to get supporting details." but no. Not for a topic that i could care less about. The sad part is that i got to pick my topic. It's a persuasive essay. What makes this hard? Cause I didn't have an opinion on the "topics" that she gave, or I didn't have enough support to write a two page paper, for that's how long it is suppose to be. Oh well. I better get back to it. I usually write something pretty good after I blog. Maybe it's because I have been typing. Maybe my fingers are like, "Oh. That's what a keyboard feels like... lets type something about this topic." Alright. Bye.

So how's it goin'? Apparently when I don't blog, other people don't blog. Except Airjohn. Which makes me giggle about Mini Mart changing its name to Loaf n' Jug. So anyways. I haven't been blogging. With reason that video games consumed me. So I was going to update earlier (like a week ago) and I even got to typing and was typing and then something distracted me and I just like, "screw it" and i closed my browser and focussed all my attention to what distracted me. Sam Goody is closing (at least I don't think it has closed yet) and is have a 40-60% off sale, on everything in the store. So I had to check it out when we walked by it. I went in, and just so happens, in the CDs, I notice a sign that says "FM Static." For those of you who don't know, I like Thousand Foot Krutch. And also for those that don't know, FM Static is a side project of the lead singer and the drummer from TFK. So I bought it. Different sound. FM Static is more pop rock, while Thousand Foot Krutch is a lot more rocky. Did I explain that well enough. Anways, FMS album is good, but short. It was in my CD player for a long time. Mmmm. Good times.
I've been neglecting my computer, like I've neglected blogging. I probably have viruses all ove rmy compter. My bro wanted me to use a certain software, but I forget what it is called. A software to scan my computer. And I still hate Norton. Anyways. I think I'm gonna saddle up. Later.
