Hello peoples. I've got alot fo stuff to inform you all about. This post has been an amalgamation of 3 (almost 4) weeks of events, bitching, getting stuff and getting paid (finally), and a whole lot more. So grab some popcorn, sit back relax and prepare to be entertained at the longest post I think I've ever written....so far.
A couple of things before I begin...
Chris...Tell Jeff that if I beat him in Tekken, I'm going to be a bad winner. Also I will then retire from Tekken 3/Tekken Tag as King of Iron Fist. I'm sure I'll keep playing Tekken's 1-3 and Tag, but not competitively, seeing as I've never had a challenge pit againset me in Tekken. (P.S. My tattoo is my trophy) Next message goes out to Trevor at work...Bring it on. I'll take on EVERYBODY at Costco in Street Fighter. If I lose, you have my undying respect. However...you only beat me if you have the higher win record at the end of the night. Like I said though "I'll beat you endless, and continue the day after!" This is gonna be better than a Pay Per View.
Ok, now that that's out of the way.
In recent, 3 (almost 4) week old news, I got my glasses back. Everything is once again DVD quality. Henshin-A-Go-Go Baby! So that's kinda cool. I also got a 2 Playstation 2's in the matter of 3 days. Jen and I went downtown for dinner a couple weeks ago for our 8 month anniversary and we decided that Greg and Missy should come along to help celebrate. (Jen has pics posted up in her journal -L) Before we went home, Greg finally gave me his old PS2. It didn't have any wires or anything like that but hey- A PS2's a PS2. I'm not complaining. So anyway, a few days later and Jen tells me about this sale that Wal-Mart is having. "PS2's are $179.99!" she says. We go in and they're marked down @ $158.99. So after 2 minutes of thought and 1 paycheque later I bought a brand new PS2, a 20" Flat Screen TV, Prince of Persia (GC), Bubba Ho-Tep (Bruce Cambell) and a Memory card. Jenny also got me GTA: Vice City (cause I'm a child of the 80's) Thanks again hun.
So since I now got a real TV, and a new system, I had to accommodate for that. Here's what my Cabinet looks like now...and BEHOLD...The resurrection of Atari!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
My friends, I must say...Prince of Persia has got to be one of the best games I've played (if not ever played) in a long time. The play control is un-be-fucking-lievable. All the moves you can do at the simple touch of a button...fantastic. Just the special features alone are worth the price of admission ($27.99). You can even unlock the original POP as a bonus. The palace is huge. I've never seen visuals this stunning. For me, it's all the little things that make the game remarkable. (Drinking water is just a small example) The game's soundtrack was done by Stuart Chatwood of the Tea Party. (Going back to their ass kicking roots). If you haven't played it, do yourself the favor...buy it, burn it, steal it...all in all, just play it. Final Score: 9 (of 10).
But wait- What am I gonna do with the used PS2? I'm gonna Mod it. I figure my PS2 will be my fighter system. If I want a new game that I can't live without I'll buy the original. Otherwise I'll just burn the game that I just don't care about. This way I can still be up to date on all the stuff. Word, yo! In the meantime however, I left my PS1 at Jenny's house. This way she can have a little system of her own to play when she's bored (besides, gamer chicks are hot!). And I can play Tekken there too!
I got alot of other new stuff too. A good (new) friend of mine at work has given me "Castlevania - Dracula X" and "Mario Kart" for my SNES, thus negating my search for them. I'd like to give a shout-out to Waheed for those. Thanks again, man. We used to call that guy Hambone back in school- HAMBONE! WHAT'S UP? SAY HELLO TO YA FOOT SOLDIERS!! Sorry, a little Will Ferrel humor there. I also got 2, 3, all 4 Giant Ninja Turtles toys from my work. (Pics of Mike and Don to follow soon, I promise), and for all you Final Fantasy nerds, I got Paine (FF-X2). In other new game news I got the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection. (All together now..BOOYA!!) So right now I've been getting my game on (which is why I've been talkin the smack and the beggining of the post) and tempering my skills. I'm a Street Fighting machine, trying to finally master SF III: Third Strike.
But being the picky individual that I am, I got some beefs with this Street Fighter...
1. No Online play. Why? No, really, I bought a PS2 for the online play and the game doesn't have it? What the fuck is that about? The future X-Box version is gonna have Live compatability but it's not gonna do it for the Playstaion? I think that's pretty weak for of the biggest SF's to come out in recent years to not have it. Bastards...*sigh* Looks like I'll have to get over that hump. Fucking Microsoft.
2. What the hell is up with the difficulty in this game? I used to rock the Arcades in SF (as well as a bunch of other people I know) but this is pretty god-damn ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I love a good challenge, and I can hold my own in a fight, but the A.I. in this game is way too smart. I mean it. Anniversary collection can calculate a move faster than Big Blue at a chess game. Holy shit. Street Fighter III: Third Strike has the same difficulty as it's Arcade/Dreamcast counterparts. That's ok. Third Strike is 100% like the Arcade version. The other Street Fighters are Arcade perfect too, but the difficulty is just retarted...and queer.
3.This last beef is about the Street Fighter Animated Movie. I love this movie. If you haven't seen it, I'll lend you my copy. It's nothing like the "Quality" Van Damme movie. I myself was a little hesitant about it. But I must say it blew me away. (Not like that shitty Street Fighter Alpha movie. God, and some of you thought that was good? You people aren't gamers. Leave the room right now!) Anyway, this movie is included as a special feature on the game. If the movie is on a DVD disc, why is it not in DVD quality? I mean it's not even rendered. To sum it up, it's like watching a copy of a copy of a VHS. Not acceptable. I don't care that it's the PG-13 version. I have the unrated one (hee hee Chun-Li boobies) and I'm not bothered by the change. It's not fair that it's below qualty of VHS. But it's not like I can do much about it anyway. In the end my final score is an 8. (Mainly cause of Third Strike)
Jenny and I are halfway through, 2 movies left, finished all the Friday the 13th movies. All that's left is the Special Features disc. I finally got that box set I wanted, and it was worth it. At Cinema 1 (or the "Everything is overpriced store") each movie is like $21.99. I'm not surprised if they charged you for the electricty to run the register, like they add it on to your bill or something. But $21.99? (Jen and I went to the new mall, that's how we knew) I got all of em for 65 bucks after tax. They're sellng the set for 80! The set doesn't include Jason goes to Hell or Jason X (parts 9 & 10) but it's cool. Best part about the set...I met Kane Hodder and everyone at work wants to see the pics. That guy was the best Jason. Kane Hodder...you rock!
One more tidbit before I go. This will guarantee this as being the longest post. Back on the topic of Street Fighter. The last thing on my "Had to get list".
After searching and listening to uneducated fuckwads at EB, I finally found a Street Fighter Anniversary controller to call my very own. Needless to say this is quite a rare find. What's the big deal about the controller? It's a controller with an Arcade set up and an animated picture of Akuma (or whichever character you decide to get) on it. Akuma is about to do his "Raging Hell Demon" or "Shingokusatsu" if you will. It's a lightweight controller (cause who needs a heavy controller?) which is good for long hrs of play. On the back of the controller is the SF Anniversary logo, in white. Playing with it is amazingly well. Fireball and Dragon Punch commands are suprisingly and comfortably easy. The controller also comes with an "Anniversary Pack" which includes stickers, a booklet with the histroy of Street Fighter and an exclusive comic book done by the guys at Udon. (They signed all my other Street Fighter stuff at the con -L) The box itself has a certificate of authenticity in it, signed by the president of each company. I'm really excited about it cause I plan on getting the whole package signed at next years convention. Final Score: 10 (Cause this fucker's value is going nowhere but up)
It's funny though, cause when I got it, I was such a dick to the guys at that EB. They're trying to sell me the controller and they're all like "It's exactly like a Genesis Controller!" I'm like "No, it's more like the Saturn 6 Button Controller, know your products champ!" Then as I was paying for it, the cashier's like "Are you gonna get Ryu's tattoo also?" I respond "Akuma has the tattoo. Fuck, stop playing Halo and jerking off and learn about other games!" Heh.. I'm a snob and I love it. Jen said it best when she calls people who want my jacket "Jealous Heathens!".
I feel like the LeVar Burton of Video Games...Do-Doot-Dooo!
So, I'll post more shit as soon as I can.. I mean..I don't want this post to be like a never ending Biblical movie. That's all for today...
Snootchie Bootchie, little Nootchies!

P.S. I'd just like to congradulate an old friend of mine on a jearb well done.

That's some FUCKED UP stuff. I do have some good news though. I'd just like to mention, that this post was supposed to be completed 3 days ago, but seeing as how my computer has Herpes or something, it had to wait. Sorry.
I finally got the last of the Chao, and I got the last Chaos Emerald to get the "extended" ending in Sonic Advance 3. SO now that that game has been played to death, I'm gonna seriously enjoy returning to my F-Zero roots and kicking the ever-loving crap out of it. Let's see...what else has been happening? Well, HAPPY TURKEY DAY PEOPLE! My day was alright. I went to my Grandma's place (the crazy one) for lunch. I got really drunk and my family knew it. It was cool cause I'm even funnier when I'm drunk. (Refer: Famly Guy Ep: Wasted Talent -L) I had my GBA with me too. It was cool cause I finally managed to block everyone out for a day. My Glasses are fixed but I haven't recieved them yet. So until then, the world is kinda VHS looking. I can't wait to see the world in Viewtful DVD. Lol.
New games? Not really. I did however finally get Metroid II: Return of Samus. Now if I can find the time to play it... New DVD's? Naw. I did however buy Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon. (Finally) It was 10 bucks at my work, so I borrowed a card from a buddy of mine, and well...you now know the rest. (I'm really bad at finishing storys) I'm really glad I scored the album. Yay me!
The other night I had run into Nacym. (And old friend of mine) It's been almost 7 months since I've seen him. We had a long talk about everything. Now don't get me wrong, we aren't on bad terms, we just needed to catch up. Y'see, I stopped hanging out with a certain group of friends because I needed to get my own life in order. I had to graduate, look for work, and basically meet Jen. (Love you, smalls!) I left the group because of their views on people and other things. I didn't like having to explain myself to my own friends. Especially ones that talked shit behind my back. This is where Nacym comes in. We disagree on certain things, yes, but we never step on each others toes...at least that's how I try to keep it. He's never talked shit about me, and appearantly some people have. That's why he came to me to give me said news. Also I saw Ben the other night as well. It's been so long, and it really sucks cause I don't have weekends off, I can't see the fucker. Ben! Next week, we're hitting JIPS!!! (Usual story, right?) We had gone to Best Buy to get the new SF:2 game and Aladdin and such. I'm now convinced I'm a Jedi. Why? Cause I tricked an employee and her manager into giving me a $30 book for free. How you ask? Read on...
Now even though it does not mention it in the Best Buy flyer, a deal like this is pretty freaking obvious...you buy something and they give you some item that relates to the one just purchased for free. Ok, now we're on the same page...
I just happened to come across a book of "The Art of Tales of Symphonia" that was labled "Not for Resale". I smile ran across my face. I know that by purchasing the game, you get the book but if you've ever been to Woodbridge, the kids ain't alright. "Excuse me, I just picked up this Art Book and I noticed it says "Not for Resale" on it. By any chance are you giving it away?" Best Buy Clerck: "Hmm. No price tag? Let me check it out. Are you interested in purchasing it?" "That depends on the price" I reply. "Well, the code comes up as $21.99" I quickly noticed it's for the wrong item. "Well I don't wanna tell you how to do your job but...the title is for Tales of Symphonia, not FF: IIIVXIVIV" (Or whatever the fuck number they're on) "You're right!" She says. She ends up taking it to a Manager and explains the sitch-...The Manager comes back and apologized for keeping me waiting. In the end she gave me the book, but she took all the other copies with her. I left the store thinking of only one thing...
"You will return Captain Solo and the Wookie to me" Heheh...ain't I a stinker? In the meantime, I'mma gonna take a shower before I head to work. I work till 10, get tomorrow off, and I get paid on Friday. C-C-Click Click Booya!

Just picked up Sonic Advance 3 for the GBA and if you've been holding off on games like this in favor for a Mario, Castlevania or other... Do yourself a favor and get Sonic Advance 3. The game is one of the best Sonic games I've played in years and it's just too much fun. Right now I'm one Chaos Emerald away from getting the special "Extended Ending". I figure if I caould make it this far getting the Chao's (little blue dudes) then this should be a cake walk...or at least a pie walk.
So I'm off taking Jenny to work today, and while switching cassettes in my Van, (yeah you read it right, cassettes! Nothing could ever replace magnetic tape...except maybe Duct tape.) and I jump a curb. On the way to take Jen to work, I miss the street and go the long way, only at this point she's showing me something, little do I know I'm halfway running a red light. What happens? I slam the brakes, make a sharp right and hey...accident free! Honestly we were laughing our asses off. It looked like something out the the Sabotage video by the Beastie Boys. So yeah, after dropping Jen off I went to visit my Grandmother. She just had eye surgery, and I wanted to check up on her. She's doing well, so I'm a happy guy. I'm having a hard time trying to balance money lately, so people I need a favor...
Unless you know I can't live without it, don't tell me about it. At least until my next paycheque!
I need to balance everything out before winter hits. Cause if my Van goes back to the shop, I'm fooked! Other than that it's been a pretty dull day. Greg finally got his PS2 back, so hopefully I can pick it up and get it fixed. If i do though, I'm prolly gonna leave the PS1 at Jenny's house. I feel bad cause she's got no systems or games to play. Besides, chicks that play games are hot! Since we're back on the subject, I got a whole stack of games I wanna git fo' my PS2, including the new Berserk game. (I know it's not out yet) It looks insane. After playing the ever-loving crap out of the 1st game, (Sword of the Berserk - Dreamcast) I need to get this one. I also want someone to challenge me in some Tekken/Street Fighter, F-Zero or whatever...I'm getting bored, and I'd like to have a few good races/fights. Seriously, if this keeps up, I'm gonna retire form fighting games. On my headstone it'll say: Mastering Tekken (alone) in the great hearafter! Lol! Oh well, I'm at work till 10pm tonight so if you need me, leave a message after da beep! Oh and people..
LISTEN' ALL Y'ALL IT'S A SABOTAGE!!!

Well Hello again. I haven't seen you guys in quite some time.
How am I? Not really that good. My brother just crushed my glasses. (YOU FUCKING RETARD!!) It was an accident though, it's true. He came in my room to tell me of some event that happened tonight, sat down and well...here we are. Now I have to go to the Eye Glasses place tomorrow to get em fixed. Y'know...cause I have the time. I mean shit, I'm writting this only cause I have tomorrow off. Now my brother has to pay like $320 to get my specs done. But yeah, so far I've had 3 days straight off of work. C-C-Click Click Booyah! Costco's good so far. I get my second paycheck on Friday, and it better be HUGE, considering all the hours I've put into that place.
I've been spending some quality time with Jenny the past 2 nights. I really miss her. She's at school all the time and I'm working all the time, it's great to have a night to ourselves. Oh before I forget...I got V.A.N.N. back. Yes friends, it's back and running just as shitty as before. But it gets me to Jenny's house and work, so that's all that matters. If you're new to my little bitching blog, my Van is a big part of my life (cause it's officially my only means of conveyance) and because I love Knight Rider, V.A.N.N. stands for Vehicular Automated Navigational Network. Cool eh? But my Van runs a little weird cause all the sensors are fooked, so it's cool seeing all my indicators going off at once...kinda like K.I.T.T.. My computer is running funny too. Greg when you get the chance, PLEASE help me fix this bad boy.
I got a couple new games in the past 3 weeks. I got Astroboy (even though I finished it before it was officially released...long story) and I got F-Zero GP Legend for my GBA SP. Both are very cool, I'm enjoying F-Zero alot. I havn't played an F-Zero in a while, so it's gonna be fun to race again. Astroboy is just the coolest and most entertaining game I've played in a long long time. BUt after unlocking everything 3 times over...I need to switch things up. My next GBA game is gonna be Sonic Advance 3. Woo! If I can find a GBA Video copy of Spongebob Squarepants, I'll get that instead. Tonight I just got "Eddie Murphy:RAW" on DVD for like 12 bucks. I need all the comedy I can get.
Whew, I'm really happy I got these 3 days though, I'd love to see my friends too. Greg/Missy, soon enough...I'm off next Wednesday, and Friday. Ben, I keep having to miss out or take a raincheck...I'm truly sorry. But I'll make it up to you soon. Chris...you live really really far. If I pass by, I'm staying a month. Heh. Oh and Mina...Happy Belated, we need to plan a day with Trevor and Jenny. And Bruno...Happy Birthday on Oct. 1st. I hope you're having a good day! We have to catch up. But it's been pretty nice these past few days. I was supposed to get my tattoo Tuesday but we'll have to see how that goes in the coming days. Seeing as I'm still working out the details. I went to McDonalds yesterday night. I got a Happy Meal and they put 2 toys in there. (Sweet!!) They gave me a G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes (complete with contact compass) and a Transformer: Decepticon: Cyclonus. Fucking good toys if you ask me. 2 icons form the 80's and a Cheeseburger? I'm lovin' it! I also got a couple of Super Mario toys @ Wendy's.
Something's been bugging me though. I guess it's just that I really can't budget my time well. I'm having a hard time making time for everything and everyone. The whole shattered glasses doesn't help me very much either. So that's about it for now. I'm quite sleepy, and I do have to take Jen to work tomorrow so...I'll let you guys know what's going on, and if it's going on already...I'll let you know how it turns out! Till then...G'night!

I've been soo busy with work, I don't know what to do. To all my friends: I'm incredibly sorry for missing anything that's happened to you, or things you've called and told me about. I'm trying to keep up with all of you, but I'm usually sleeping when you call or message. I apologize. Work takes more out of somebody than I thought. I promise I'll make it up to you guys.
Moving on...
Today at work went really well. I made friends with a guy there who's into the same stuff as me. Now I can actually converse with somebody my age! But as I was saying, work went really well. Carts were maintained, people were friendly, I even got to leave early. Ben decided to make a surprise visit today while I was busting my ass pushing carts. He was looking for a Team Canada jersey. Y'know the one with the Winnipeg Goose thing? Anyway, Ben...you made my day. Speaking of making somone's day...
There...now I can sleep tonight. Seeing as tomorrow's my day off...
I'm pooped. See you soon, Kiddies...

GameCube
-Metroid Prime
-Rebel Strike
-Enter the Matrix (I've done it, but I'd like to do it again just to get the story straight)
-Viewtiful Joe (I've done this one a long time ago, but now I wanna do it 1 more difficulty up)
Sega Genesis
-Sonic 3 & Knuckles (So far I've just done Sonic 3, and Sonic & Knuckles separatly)
-Revenge of Shinobi
-X-Men
-Spider-Man (I can't beat this one cause of the TV I own. The tube is on a slant and I can't see the timer for the bomb.)
-Rolling Thunder 3
Sega Dreamcast
-Omikron: The Nomad Soul
-Shenmue
Sony Playstation (PS1)
-X-Files
So yeah, this is only a small part of the collection. But I really have to beat these games before my next set of new games come in. It's hard cause even when I was off work (this list was 2x as long. This is what's left), I used to keep up with what I got. See, I'm the kinda person who, when I play a game, I wanna appreciate it 100% before I take it out of my system again. I've never played a game I couldn't beat. I don't want that to change. The only thing is, like I said, I think I have too many games to beat. Do I have too many for my own good? That's just your own opinion. Oh well...
I think that's what's been bugging me lately. Meh.

| Question: Do Blondes really have more fun? |

Well seeing as I'm not an actual Blonde (it is dyed though) I'd have to say YES!
So far the week has been quite an eventful one. I got my very own PS1. It's cool cause now I can play Tekken to my hearts content. See, my brother bought a Playstation the very first day it came out. I broke it trying to master Tekken. So what happened was we got a new one and my brother and I made an agreement. It's his system but the games are mine (cause I buy 'em). Now that that I got my own, I own all the games MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA. ....Well I kinda feel bad for him cause I kinda own all the systems, so I gave him a few titles. Sure some of 'em suck but when does he really play Video Games? I had to move the old Atari. (How else was I supposed to fit the Sony?) Yep, it's gonna be put in the Vault, and by Vault I mean the old skool display case where the toys are displayed. The only major problem I have now is where to store my PS1 games. I think we're gonna need a bigger boat...
Work's been pretty good to me lately. I'm pissed that I gotta go to work, but when I'm there it's cool. I've been inside packing boxes and such. In fact, Tonight and Tomorrow I'm gonna be ouside in the lot. It'll be ok (at least that's what I keep telling myself) cause I can take my time with everything. Something's been bugging me and I'm not really sure what it is. The most likely answer is the fact that I don't have one day off this week. Yeah, 9 hr days suck when you're working even on the weekends. At least nobody bothers me when I'm working. Jenny started school yesterday, and she's LOVING IT! I'm really proud of her. I know what it's like to take a year off and then go back to school. As long as she's having a great time... I mean, hey, I'm feeling the same way going to work after not working for 8 months.
Now that I think about it (Jenny's school) something pissed me off and I wanted everyone to tell you guys...
I went to Jen's 2nd orientation at Sheridan (it was cool they even gave me a student card...sure I'm not Jen but...) and we got off at York University and I happened to notice and Edward Scissorhands (not like the sequel: Edward Plungerhands) toy that we've been looking at. So i'm talking to the guy about it, and he's showing of his personal Comic, Toy stash to us. To I'm like "How much for the Edward Scissorhands?" The dude's like "Oh, that's $40." Now you can just picture the look on my face that this guy is sellling me this 6" you for $40 when I know it's only worth $25-30 tops. And that's if I'm desperate. So I'm like "and how about the Crow toy?" The guy says "That's also $40" I'm biting my tongue at this point. I notice he has some Street Fighter comics. (1st iss. DF Cover and 1-3) I ask and the fucker says "$40...but I'm willing to do $35." I lost it... "How is it possible that you're selling these issues for $40 if I can still get issues 1-9 for $5 bucks each? You only have 3 issues, plus the special edition #1?!" Of all the things to say, he says "Well that DF issue 1 is very hard to come by." I get more pissed with every word he says... "Dood, I met all the guys from UDON Comics, they signed all my issues from issue 1-4 and on top of that my issue 4 was signed my the guest writer and had the limited comic cover that was only sold at 2 stores in Canada. That my friend is worth more than those man. Not cool." Then I asked him about his Spawn # 1...as usual he replies "$40" I had to leave....
Let me give you a rundown of Comics/Toys/Video Games. Just like Vinal Records, these items are only valuble based on supply and demand. Spawn # 1 goes for about $35 and some shops. But in reality it's worth about 15 tops. I got mine last year for about $4, and if you read my last post, Ken Steacy signed it. So what have learned? My book is worth about $50 if we're talking about a comic shop. In the real world it's about 30. To me it's priceless. ...stupidmotherfuckerchargingmefortydollarsforEdwardScissorhands...
Uh-Oh..according to the clock on the wall it seems we've run out of time for this week...er...day...um...
Till then people, I'll be at work till 10:30 so try to stay classy till I get back. Oh and Smalls? Love you!

I'm back again and I got a whole lot to say this week. I'm sure you guys are tired of my excuses on account of my late posts. However, this time I have a very good reason. That reason is...I have a job. Yes, it's true, I'm a working man again. I'm the "Newbie" @ Coscto. Some people call me Mega Man cause of my tattoo. Whatever. It's cash, right? Exactly. That's what's important to me, so I guess I got nothing to complain about. But we all know that's a lie...I'm gonna keep complaining. It's funny cause just last week (or 2 weeks ago now) I was sitting in a Tim Horton's with Jen, Ben, and Ed and we were basically complaining as to why guys like us aren't employed. Oddly enough, Ben got a call back from a Pharmaceutical (is that spelled right?) company, Ed got the job he wanted @ Indigo, and I got my Costco job.
The con was great...but it was also not so great. The 3 major problems that there were was:
1. Nobody knows where anything is. I wanted to meet George Perez (JLA vs. Avengers) and Chris Sabat (DBZ) and I couldn't. What a mess that was. It took all my Zelda problem solving just to find Peter Laird.
2. Anime fans don't like to shower. I really don't see why peple can't bathe. If they don't give out Pikachu shaped soaps next year, I'm really gonna lose it...Stinky Otaku.
3. Scott McNeil. Yes, he's a problem. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. He's very nice and he really loves his fans...I respect that, but he's gotta draw the line somewhere. Kids, he's a voice actor. I am too. But because these desperate girls keep purposing to the fucker, I gotta wait 2 hrs in line?!? Not cool man. I've met the guy like 4 times and all I wanted to do was show him my tattoo of Mega Man cause he was the voice actor on the TV show. Jen wasn't that pissed because Scott McNeil gave her some Reese Bites. But he did remember me, and I got my picture with him so now I can sleep.
But there were some really cool parts to the con. We met alot of people, and saw alot of cool things, and bought alot of Toys. Jen got to meet her Hero: Tom Savini. He even signed her copy of Creepshow. We chatted with him about schools of SFX and while Jen was chatting, I taxed some Magnets he signed. Cause I didn't know if they was for sale or not. But I'm sure it was ok seeing as the next day he signed my copies of Dawn/Day of the Dead. I got to meet Kane Hodder (Jason) finally. It was cool chatting with him, untill he charged me $5 to sign my Video Game. I wasn't that upset though, I got the game for free and it's worth $5 bucks anyways so, I got what I payed for. While I was in line for him, we notcied a puchace in the horror section on the register that was very fitting, so I took a picture...
I also got to meet my reason for going to the con this year. Peter Laird. I waited paitiently in line to meet him, and it was worth it. He's the nicest guest I've ever met at a convention. And I've met alot of people. I had all the stuff I said I'd bring except Venus. All the Comics, Collected Editions, Video Games and such, and he signed it all with a smile on his face. He surprised me after he signed my Nintendo games by telling me that the guys who painted the covers of both games was sitting a couple of seats down from him. I was stunned. They were stunned that I still had all of this stuff. It was really cool. Next up- I got my Spawn #1 signed by Ken Steacy. After, I made it a rule to get all my Street Fighter Comics signed. I then left the Autograph session a happy guy. I never ended up getting George Perez or Chris Sabat's signature, but I'm still a happy guy.
Partric Stewart had to cancel cause of heart problems, so in his place they put LeVar Burton (Reading Rainbow) and Michael Dorn (?). I wanted to meet LeVar just so I could ask him to recommend a good book to me. Ben was happy he got to meet 'em. He said it best: "got to see 2 Black dudes for the price of 1 spiffy Brit.". Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) was there as was George Takai (Mr. Sulu) and John Kassir (The Cryptkeeper). A funny fact of John Kassir, one of his first gigs was in the original commercial for The Legend of Zelda. He was the guy in the black body suit immitating the monsters form the game. How 'bout that for nerding it up? I even got to meet The Cheet. All in all, the weekend wasn't that bad. I got to spend time with old friends, Jenny, and comics. Good Times...
Well I hope you've had as much fun reading this post as much as I've enjoyed writting it...er...typing it...yeah. In the meantime, I'm off to work...
Oh yeah, Snooch to the Nooch.

Ok. New post!
Greetings, Party People in the place to be...
It's now official, I have all 5 Mega Man games on the original Game Boy. Since the arrival of my Mega Man IV (quite possibly the best of the series), I've been dying to complete my set. So, I (finally) got a copy of Mega Man V off eBay. I recieved it last night from Jenny (Thank You, Sugar) and I just finished it when I woke up. I bet you're thinking: "If you beat it already, what makes it so great?". Well, #1. It's Mega Man. #2. I rock. #3. Seeing that it's the hardest game in the seies to obtain, and the storyline was original (something rare in Mega Man) it's safe to say it's a great game. And since we're on the topic of Old Skool, (a usual topic) I have just puchased (or recieved as a Grad gift) a Retro Game Boy Advance SP. (Read Jul 24ths post on "The Decision" -L) And I must say, I love this thing!!! I can't wait to start Modding the ever-loving crap out of my original GBA. Diabolical!!! Ha ha ha...
I'm really looking forward to this ComiCon. This year, they finally have guests I've wanted to meet and talk to. Last night Ben & I went through all kinds of Toys and Comics that I got, just to see what I could get signed. My issues of Street Fighter, JLA vs. Avengers, TMNT, I wanna get signed. Even my Raphael toy that's still in his package, as well as my Venus that's still in hers. (Venus was the chick Ninja Turtle from the live action series) And the coup de grace: My NES copies of TMNT (II) and Friday the 13th, are gonna get inked too. But for me, I think the biggest deal of them all is meeting George Romero. (He created Night of the Living Dead, and changed horror movies forever) Last year I got this poster, and I think it'd be diabolical (Yaaaaaa!) to get it signed. Jen is anxious to meet Tom Savini, since she's getting into the Make Up and SFX industry. I really hope we don't have to pay to meet them though. That would totally suck the gay out of Liberace's ass...sorry!
All in all, I think it would make for a very interesting weekend. Jen and I will be taking as many pictures as possible, as well as laughing at every attempt an Anime geek does to seem cool for the ladies. So stay tuned f....This just in....Cosco has called me back, however it is still unsure that I will be hired. Details will be given, as soon as possible.
So stay tuned 'till next when we report from the Canadian Comic Book Expo (as well as the Sci-Fi Nerd Spectacular and the Canadian Anime Virgin Convention) !!! And don't forget to experience the awesome fury of...our gift shop. In the meantime, I'm a gonna charge up the Mega Buster for another round of "saving the world".

Wow! Where do I begin? Well, first I'd like to apologize for my lack of updates. I know I promised one for July 28th, so I'll make this post worth your time. Let's begin...
Well I did get my tattoo, and now it's pretty much healed. For those who don't know what I got, or have always wanted to see pics, it's my homage (first time I've EVER used that word in a sentence) to my favorite old-skool games: Mega Man. I plan on getting Gemini Man (Boss Robot from Mega Man 3, for those out of the loop) on the other side of my leg, since I'm a Gemini. I do have more tattoos planned, but...I'm broke. Whatever cash I gots is gonna go towards Jen and I at the con. Which reminds me...I gotta get my stuff ready to get signed and all that jazz for when I go to the con. Hopefully I'll get my Friday the 13th Nintendo game signed by Kane Hodder. That would rock!!
I took some new pics, so I guess this is as good a time as any to show you guys my room! (And some new things I just picked up.) My room's like Pee Wee's Playhouse, except I don't have a chair that really talks (Holy Crap) or fish that gack and gawk. Ok, I'll stop. Here's where I keep my Console's and such. What's that? No PS2? Don't worry, all in good time. I need to get some new cabinets cause I'm starting to run out of room to put my games and systems. This is my Atari/Genesis/N64/Dreamcast/Gamecube drawer. (Don't laugh, Family Feud is better than you think) This is my NES/SNES/Gameboy (Advance also) drawer. Told you...no space. The top of my cabinet has alot of little things I collect. (But this is just small amount...for now) The pic has the names of everyone. In a small corner of my room is my little Spider Man Shrine, but the thing that get's all the attention in my room is Homer Simpson. He sings, dances and blows away everyone that visits. Here's the top of my computer cabinet. I'm gonna fill it with more stuff soon. My printer used to be here but then it broke giving me another shelf to put my junk.
That's my room so far. There still is more to show, but I think I'll keep that stuff to myself. Right now, I'll fill you in in on what else has been going on. Jen trimmed her hair when she stayed at my place this week, and it looks amazing. She's planning on dying it Violet underneath and that's gonna look really sharp. I recieved 2 things in the mail this week. First thing was the Macross Movie: "Do you remember love?" that Jen won for me off eBay. Next was the best thing to come to DVD yet. I'm talking about Knight Rider. It's been 2 days and I've watched the ever-loving crap out of these discs. I still remember being a 4 year old kid in my Knight Rider pedal car (which I still have) and going all over the place in that thing. Good times. (wipes tear) I also just got a copy of Pac-Man for my old NES, as well as Final Fantasy. I'm not really into Final Fantasy...personally, I'm a Zelda guy. But hey...it's on my list of games to beat now, so I'm sure I'll learn to love it. (Thanks Jen & Jay)
Other than that...nothing really new. My folks come back tomorrow (ugh) and I'm still unemployed. Things have a way of turning up, so I'm gonna keep the faith. Oh by the way..I feel bad for not adding Mina as one of my closest friends. I'm really embarrassed aboot it, so Mina, if you don't wanna talk to me anymore, I'll understand. So that's about it for this post, until next time...you're watching me so I'm watching you.

After reading over my post about the Wizard, I've been a lot more nostalgic than usual. For some reason, I cannot resist the urge to play Rad Racer for hours on end. I guess cause I'm all MegaMan'd out. (You'd be too if you did MegaMan 2-5 w/o dying) It's not all that bad though, I get my tattoo of the Blue Bomber on Tuesday so I'm pretty excited about that. Yes, I did get the money's after all. I'm also excited about my parents taking off for 12 days for their 30th Anniversary vacation. They deserve it. (Lord knows I deserve a break from them too.)
I've also been thinking about getting the "Classic" GBA SP. But Luch, you already have a GBA. I know...but my original GBA is the reason I have glasses. Oh, I just got glasses by the way. Everything is DVD quality. Anyway, this whole retro fad's probably gonna start dying off by Christmas, but right now, it's peaking. Though some purists hate sharing their longtime obsessions with a zillion "bandwagoners," the rest of us are more happily prone to sit back and enjoy the resurgence of everything we've refused to forget. Personally, I think it's great. The saturation and sometimes-souless nature of it all can be a bitch, but when I'm walking into Toys R' Us and finding Game Boys fashioned after old Nintendo controllers complete with a beefy library of classic titles, all my misgivings are washed away. Besides...it'll look so cool with my Jacket (me being the Original Gamer and all). If in the end, I do want it (most likely), I'd better hurry seeing as it is a "Limited Edition". And since we're on the topic of nostalgia and the like, here's a little game trivia for you...
A little while after the Wizard movie came out, Nintendo decided to hold an actual "Nintendo World Championship". Here is how the tournament went: Various competitions were held in the major US cities, which were open to all. Each competition consisted of three age groups. After several days of open competition, a few were chosen to go on to the Nintendo World Chapionship finals, which were held at Universal Studios. Two were eventually chosen to compete against each other, two in each of the three age groups. There were a couple of interesting things that came out of this event. The biggest, for NES cart collectors, is the Ultra-Rare NWC cart, which contains the competition version of Rad Racer, Tetris and Super Mario Bros. Both a gold version, as well as a grey cartridge with white label exist, the gold carts being even rarer. Rad Racer was oddly enough designed by Sqare. (You read correct) It was also specifically created for the event, and it became so infamous at this event, it ended up being a title on it's own. Neat huh? By the way...I'm a nerd.
So that's about it for today...even though I still got a bunch of new games to finish, it looks like I'll be playing my classics again, thinking of the days when I won my tournaments as a lad. Wow! Don't I feel old. Till then...

This is just something I've wanted to say for a while now. It goes out to all the underqualified, ignorant bastards that have somwhow managed to score more than 1 job for the summer...FUCK YOU, AND EVERYBODY WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU! There...I feel much better. Seriously though, I need a job. Sure, I love staying up late, waking up late, watching movies and overdosing on Nintendo on a regular basis. But I miss money and the spending thereof. I had an interview today at Costco, (finally) we'll see how it goes...
I'm starting to think I have too much time on my hands. How do I know? Cause I'm about to tell you about a movie that's loved and hated the world over. It's a movie I've made my friends watch over and over. (I'm amazed they are still my friends) The movie is...
The Wizard! And let me tell you, I haven't been this moved since Tron!
Anyways, back to the show! If you're into 80's flicks, Infomercials, Fred Savage, and Nintendo, is this the movie for you. It's like Rain Man, but for kids! There's only one problem. It's fucking awful! So awful, you'll end up liking this movie. There are WAY too many mistakes in this flick, that I can't keep quiet about it any longer. Like I said, if you like infomercials, this is the place to be. Honestly, every time I watch this movie, I'm so anxious just to see the Power Glove. I still want one of those fucking things! I know it sucks, I know I'll never play with it if I get it, but every time I hear Lucas' pick up line, I know I must own one. Thanks Nintendo. So, in this post, you will see EVERY SINGLE MISTAKE in this flick. (Video Game related of course, cause this would be the longest post ever if I pointed everything out)
Starting from the cover of the movie, the Power Glove was made for your right hand, but Fred is wearing the thing on his left. I'll let that slide. Let's get to the good stuff. When they make it to the bus station, Corey tells Jimmy to play Double Dragon. (A personal favorite of mine) After 3 minutes Corey's astonished to see Jimmy scoring 50,000. First of all in 3 minutes you can barely finish Level 1, let alone make it to Level 4 (where Jimmy was) nor can you score 50,000 so fast. It's bullshit! My highest was like 20,000 and that's with me taking the time to beat those fuckers into paste. When Haley joins the group, Jimmy is playing Ninja Gaiden on an arcade table. That's impossible. What else is impossible is the fact that she covers the screen with the magazine she sees the contest in. How can Jimmy play Ninja Gaiden? Then they meet Lucas. When he whips out the Power Glove, he pops in Rad Racer. He instanly becomes one with the Nintendo. But guess what? It's fucking impossible! Fast forward to any scene where Haley calls the Nintendo Power Hotline. (1-800-521-0900) Look closely at the screen the Nintendo Rep is "playing" on. First it's TMNT, then Ninja Gaiden!! How is the possible people? This mistake pisses me off the most. It's the scene when Beau Bridges is playing Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. He's going on and on about how far he made it. When it's time to pack up and leave, he takes everything but the R/F Adaptor! How are his kids gonna play the NES now? Good Job, Beau. When Corey is talking to Haley about Zelda, he says "He has to find Zelda; you have to find a house." Link starts out right in front of Zelda's comatose body, Dumbass! Check out the finale of the movie. The part where Jimmy is playing Ninja Gaiden...again. As soon as the round is over, Jimmy puts the controller down. Look very fucking carefully. The game keeps playing regardless. (If that wasn't frustrating enough) At the end of the flick, when all the Super Mario 3 action is going on, does anyone else find it weird that Haley & Corey know more about Mario 3 than anyone else? "If he finds a Magic Whissle, he can warp ahead!" HOW!! HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS? NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN THIS, LET ALONE PLAY IT, YOU WHORE!!" Ok, well that about sums it up. Sure I know that there's about a million more mistakes that aren't game related. Like that scene where Toby Maguire is hanging out with Lucas. (yes, it's in there) Well maybe it's not a mistake but..you get the idea.
One final thought on the Power Glove...This thing sucked. I couldn't play anything with it. I tried to play Punch-Out...all I did was look stupid hitting the air, trying to catch shit. And Rad Racer? Yeah right, that's happening. I love this game, but when I played it with the glove, I felt more excited riding a bus. Fuck that! The only thing the Power Glove was good for was it being the coolest thing to wear in the late 80's. (Rad to the Max!!!)
On a side note, if anyone has a Power Glove they wanna sell to me, (working or not) please...help a brotha' out!

HEY HEY KIDS, IT'S STORYTIME!!! I figured I'd break away from my Megaman Anniversary Collection to introduce myself...again. I haven't made a post in a few days and I need to vent anyways so, let's get on with it shall we? Coolio!
Well I finally learned how to post pics on here. So, here I am. See? In case I never mentioned it before, I'm a cross between Viewtiful Joe/Jin Kazama. Yes, that's a Nintendo track jacket I'm wearing. I'm really into gaming, I take it pretty serious. My tattoo is from Tekken 3. I wear it like a badge of honor. See, when Tekken 3 came out, I was already high on Tekken 2. When I got Tekken 3, I made it my personal mission to master this game. Long story short- Don't challenge me...you'll lose. I got a pretty mean game collection (some pretty rare titles) that I take some pride in. Like I said, I'm currently playing the Megaman Anniversary Collection. Not too many changes from the originals but, the one thing that does bug me is that there is no ending for Megaman 7. That really pissed me off. Speaking of getting pissed off, this past week has been nothing but a series of unfortunate events. (Not to be confused with the series of books) Why was it so unfortunate? Are you sure you wanna know?
Ok, I lied. It hasn't been that bad. Only a few days have pissed me off. (Here's the happy part of the Journal) I had a good time hanging out with Jenny going to all sorts of different places. Like Mandarin and Edgefest. Billy Talent rocked, and even though I don't like them, Good Charlotte sound really good live.
Even though I had a few good days, I've also had a few bad days. (Here's where I vent) Jenny and I went to Canada's Wonderhole. We had a good time on the SpongeBob ride in 3-D, and sure we won some prizes, and busted ass in the Arcade but those were the highlights of the day. What really pissed me off, was the people there. Not only did I have to tell staff at Wonderland off, I had to deal with these ignorant fucks, that walk into you and complain that I'm in their way. Woodbridge and Maple is filled with these fucking tards. I think that every one of these people should be taken out in the street and shot in the mouth. I swear, I'm fucking tired of having to fight with these Vin Diesel lookalikes. Of all things to happen next, I get stung by a Wasp. Not cool. That didn't bug me (no pun intended) but what did was when I'm trying to make my way to First Aid and somebody asks me if I wanna play something. Grrr. In the next few days we trekked all the way down to Queen & Dufferin. I don't know if you people go down there alot, but as soon as you make it there, there should be a sign saying "Welcome to Nowhere". Why did we go to this shithole? Cause I was looking forward to getting a new tattoo. Not only did the both of us get stiffed, the price was more that the both of us ever imagined. Some deal that was. Fuck you, Bobby. I'll go to New Tribe, it was cheaper there anyway.
So that's about it. Even though I'm practically a Super Saiyan, I feel better now that that's off my chest. I'm not walking anywhere anymore. I'm just gonna take it easy...at least for a couple of days. I guess this is, how it, it goes...

Now...all I need is a job. What a waste of time that was yesterday! I didn't wanna go, but I met some new people and made the most of it. The guy I was sitting next to was having alot of the same issues that I went through at the Academy. Made me feel better, that's for sure. It was fun telling everyone at the school to fuck off. I even ran into an old friend from High School. But other than that, the ceremony sucked. Those bastards didn't even give me a Mortarboard (or Grad cap as it were) so after I got my Class Photo (of many people I never met) I decided to steal my grad gown. Well at least one part of it. I took the thingy that goes over your neck. I was wearing it everywhere yesterday. As soon as I went home...Mega Man Anniversary Collection got my attention. At least, till Jenny came over.
She picked up the SNL: Best of Mike Myers for me as a Grad gift. Along with a few other things. (She's too sweet, I love her) We watched that and then played my new Sega games that I bought thru eBay. I got Comix Zone and Aladdin (Brand Fooking New!!) in case you were wondering.
How amazing those 2 games are too! I've always wanted Comix Zone, but could never find one in this good condish! Aladdin...I have the SNES version and when I played this one? Sega version blows it away. The SNES version is done by CAPCOM. I like it don't get me wrong, it does play well and has appeal but, The Sega one is done by Virgin Games and has animation and gameplay almost exact to Earthworm Jim. (another favorite of mine) What's really funny is the fact that 2 different companies recieved the rights to make Aladdin. What's even more funny (at least to you) is the fact that I have the same game on multiple systems. Well a good game is a good game! I've done stuff like this before. Hell, I have Samurai Shodown on my SNES, Sega, and my Game Boy. I'm a junkie. The sad thing is...I won't have time to play them...yet! I got about 13 games in the past month I gotta beat and master.
Tonight, Ben is gonna pass by and we're gonna kick it Old Skool. Bustin out TMNT 2: The Arcade Game. Greg, Missy, Chris, and my sexy Jenny are all on the guest list for tonight. I still don't know how to put up pics...but when I do!! (shakes fist) Later peoples.....

Well my feet are killing me, but I had fun today. Greg and I went to the mall to get a belated Birthday Gift for yours truly. I told I didn't want anything, but Greg never listens. So got Mega Man anniversary collection for my 'Cube. It goes well with my Mega Man tattoo. (We match, heh heh) It's cool. But man, all the walking I've done since I've been with Jenny...I could've been a fooking apostle. Twas a good day nonetheless. (I really hope that's how you spell it)
My day was quite a busy one, what with missing busses and hanging out late in a mall. We went to EB (what a hole) and picked up some games. FUN!! Then Jenny finally met my friend Greg's girlfriend, Missy. I hope they had a good time. They never really had a chance to get to know each other cause they -and we had to go. Greg got Thief 3 and Mega Man for me. Cool Beans! But the way back was a bit of a bitch. My brother appearently doesn't like getting his phone and my folks are technologically impared, so my ride home for us was out. Long story short...Jen and I walked from Steeles to Hwy 7. Not alot you say? Fuck you in your car! That's far! I'm tired. Jenny's tired. No more walking for us...I'm buying a 2 seater Rascal! (Word!!!)
But yeah...I thought I'd expand on myself a bit and my habits/hobbies.
I'm a Video Game junkie...but please, do your fucking homework if you wanna chat about it with me. Know your facts. I tend to be a dick to those who think they know. I look like a cross between Viewtiful Joe and Jin Kazama from Tekken (only a bit chubbier) I even have his tattoo. I got many titles under my belt in terms of gaming. Many achievements (Hence my Tekken tat.) Fighting games are my specialty. I'm a dork...what can I say. I'll list my collection soon.
Comics on the other hand...have kind of slowed down in my life. I used to collect them, but now (since I told the guy at the Woodbridge comic shop to go fuck himself...bastard rips off little kids) it's hard to keep up with stories. I was always a Spider-Man/Batman guy. Not really into the trendiest of super heroes *AHEM* Superman *COUGH* who gets a new super power every week. I get it...he's fucking strong!! I kinda miss the feeling of reading interesting storylines and all that jazz. But all these stories are all in TPB anyway. I almost got a job with DC Comics (hard to believe but it's true) a couple years back. But cause I was still in High School, I couldn't really take it. Which leads me to this...
Toys! Sadly all my clothes are in cabinets and I gotta squeeze em in. Why? Because my real closet is overflowing. Yep, 9' of closet space, top to bottom, is filled with toys. Why no I sell? Cause I'm fucking stupid! (what was i- oh! My story..) Ihad approached Irwin Toys about a year ago regarding Dragonball Z merchandise and the guy noticed my Portfolio, the greedy piece of shit wanted my artwork for nothing. Sure I got his business card, but it was like puling teeth! So then Irwin had some sort of legall issue and they went bankrupt (at least I think so) so that was a bust.
Why don't I go back and try to do these things now? Cause I stopped drawing..something I need to get back into, and Irwin no longer has the license to make DBZ toys. Meh. Such is life.
Well, I'm gonna go indulge myself in some Nintendo. Ta ta for now!

OK! So, I've finally brought with me all my Complaints and Daily Bitching to the World Wide Web! Yay me! Well for those that don't know me (which I find hard to believe) I am the voice of the Lazy Underachieving but Cool Hippie. Luch if you prefer. (Yeah, I watch wayyy to much Knight Rider) Let's see...I'm just geting used to this whole chat with yourself till you get friends thing, so I'm trying to think of shit to say...
About me...Ready?
Well I'm 21 and I fucking rock! I'm the Biggest little kid you could EVER have the chance to meet. I'm a Graduate in Animation (2-D & 3-D) and having a hell of a time finding work. I collect everything, from comics to games...and might I say my new and exciting friends, my collections are those of Legends! Ask Ben. (I'll introduce him later) I love Pop-Culture and am quite the junkie. I have tattoos (cool ones too) and I'm told I'm a living cartoon. Homer Simpson lives in my bedroom, we're the original Odd Couple. Spider Man makes visits too. Mega Man is my homeboy David Hasslehoff is my TV hero. I plan on making my own replica K.I.T.T. car when I get some cash....
What else....? Hmmmmm
Well I'm making this post before I head to my buddy Greg's house, Jenny and I are gonna have a day on the town. If you don't know who Jenny is (and shame on you for that) she's my kick-ass Girlfriend or Wifey as I like to call her. So yeah, we're gonna go out soon and hit the Arcade downtown. I owe Greg a virtual beating...cause well....just cause! Heh. So now that you know about Jenny, let me tell you about Greg. I met him in animation school, he sat next to me and got in trouble for talking about Video Games we've finished and all that jazz. (Greg knows just as much as I do about games..A WHOLE FUCKING LOT!) He's a cool guy...he reminds me of Chewbacca cause he's a Fooking Giant!! But he's very very nice. Then we got my pal Ben (I hope you like Ben-Jammin too) Ben is suck a patient fucker. I can't believe he can still stand me. I love him for it. He's awesome too. We always have good laughs. Chris...The one I see the least of, but always talk to. It's funny...kinda. I met him in school too. We have the best road trips...he's the kindest person I think I've ever met.
That's all for now. Don't worry people...you'll find out more about me soon enough.
And I can't wait to show you my Pics. Till then.
