They call me Colophon, Xenophanes of Colophon

For the uninformed, Xenophanes of Colophon was a Greek critic of Mythology. Man after my own heart...
So, guess who just found the invite for this blog sitting in his inbox along with 3 "make your penis bigger" ads, a picture of Fife's gaming setup with TV and computer and whatnot and something from tshirt hell? If you answered "Landon", you would be right. So, after inquiring on the "make your penis bigger" ads, i signed onto here. I find those penis enlarger ads redundant and regard them rather humorously. Think about it, when your about to have sex with a woman, having to unroll your dick just doesn't sound appealing to me or to the recipient.

For the time being I have resigned from Halo3. I feel like its become a fanboy heaven encourage by Bungie themselves. The people who play are tools, the system has become too run and gun for my tastes and really, aside from it being a great casual party game, i'm not too impressed. For some reason, getting bent over and having your ass tenderized by Fife, or some other freak, just doesn't seem appealing. So i've graduated to Gears of War. Sure the game is buggy, sure the game has network issues and hosting issues, but its the first game and even 2 years later, the game still looks amazing. And there are chainsaws on guns. Chainsaws...On...Guns....it cant get any cooler. Halo couldn't find anything in its worn out toy bin to impress me more than gears has. When gears 2 comes out, bet your ass Ill be standing in line in a fucking tent outside that gaming store, defending my spot with a bat in one hand and monster energy in the other.

Dragon Ball Z burst limit has also been a recent purchase of mine. I had high high hopes for it that came crashing through the roof like the dead body of a suicide victim. The game came with the first seven episodes of the Cartoon. "Great" said I, happy that the game appeared to be focusing on the newer generation of anime freaks, hooking kids like one would advertise cigarettes. After frisbeeing the disk outside and into the nearby woods (mainly cause I already own the first season on my computer and on DvD, and keeping it made little sense, especially after all the promising fun of winging that sharp little fucker at a small woodland creature...), I proceeded to put the game in to play. Playing the story mode left me confused and bewildered. I felt like I had been drinking all night with HUGE holes in my memory, mainly where my pants were, why my ass hurt, and why I had $20 stuffed in my mouth. The story mode was so patchy I even forgot the series, having to look it up online to make any real sense out of it at all. "Ok, fine, so the story sucked a big proverbial dick." maybe there is something else the game has to offer." NO. not really, the character selection is limited, especially when compared to the staggering 161 characters offered in DBZ tenkaichi budokai3. This game pushes 15. roughly 15 characters that really look and act no different than their ps2 counterpart. THEY COULD HAVE COPY FUCKING PASTED AN OLDER DBZ GAME FROM PS2 and that game would still be better...terrible. instead, we get this pathetically gutted version of Dragon Ball Z. They even neglected to put in several important fights that were extremely fun to watch in the series (you know, metal Freiza versus Trunks? yea, forget it). The funniest part for me though was playing as the MOTHERFUCKING VILLAIN in more than half of the major battles they should have LOST. or playing as the heroes when the heroes should have lost. Its like the story didn't give a shit if you won or not. "I just pounded the shit out of Recoome on Namek. Now why does the cut scene after the battle have him stand back up and toss me like a ragdoll? DO I EVEN MATTER? Or the big giant Broly...you basically pulp every hero in the series with him and then go to fight Goku. "Nows my chance to whomp on Broly for all the hurt hes been putting on the rest of the guys..." no. you get to be Broly again pounding away on Goku's face for 5 min. I wonder if the game designers wanted me to feel more sympathetic towards the villains and their side of things and so made me play as them. Kind of hard when they cackle evilly every time I punch someones face in... The game didn't give me the fanboy wood I wanted and so proverbially left me a little limp... it gets 5/10 wood plank ratings from me. Not great by any means but as a fighting game, the controls are polished and not glitchy at all. Also, being able to mega punch someone and stagger them is extremely stress relieving to do on character you hate. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't love the series though, its just not enough of a solid game for that.

Aside from games, Ive played a few airsoft games, (the real mans video game), have more headshots on my shotgun, making people scared of it....and ive been working. working at rubbermaid. factory labor. 12 hour shifts, 2 days on and 2 days off, (then 3 days on or off depending on how the schedule falls). averaging out to a 40hr work week. Bad part is I'm working 6pm to 6am. Guess I'm a vampire...(no one tell Lauren...ha ha...Lauren joke....ha ha ha ha ha...) *ahem* anyways... Yea, so that's been about my summer as this far. a moth is already gone. its actually going much faster than i thought it would. I do miss you guys, not really though. as i'll see all of you but fife anyways. fife i do miss and hope he comes back to BG if things don't work out any other way. (we could be psyc majors together!!)

So, if anyone needs me, gimme a call but try for around 4:30-5:30 pm calls because those I will be awake to answer. Peace, and remember...CHAINSAWS ON GUNS RULE
