Potential Band

My sister, her boyfriend, and I are considering starting an electropop band called Electric Flower Cart. It's said to be like Crystal Castle, except 10 times better. I'll keep you informed about that and my actual band, Luigi Takes The Lead. [ www.luigitakesthelead.weebly.com ]

Herrow! Yesterday, I spent the night at my sister's house. Now, seeing that my sister is in college, you'd probably think that we were doing all sorts of amazing things, but amazing doesn't really describe it, even though I had a good time. My night was like this:

After eating dinner with my sister and my mom, my sister and I headed for the university's gym in hopes of climbing the rock wall. However, I'm not 18 years old (yet), so they didn't let us in. Since that plan failed, we picked up her boyfriend and departed for the nearest Books-A-Million. I made my way over to the comics in hopes of finding the first Scott Pilgrim book, which I did... After reading at least half of book four... Not a wise choice... After spending a few hours in the book store, the three of us went to dog-sit for some people my sister works for. That's when things started to get bad. The dogs we had to watch were very stupid, and smelled like they hadn't bathed in years. While we tried to watch TV or play a board game (because the people's kids don't have an video games), those dumb dogs were trying to eat food out of the pantry or they were rubbing their stank on us. Joy... Then, I got the pleasure of sleeping in the living room with the dogs. Even though I had the TV, I would've like to have the dog-free room with a bed. After falling asleep around 2 and waking up early enough to have Pikachu be my first sight of the new day, we cleaned the house up and left (thank god!). We returned to my sister's place and ate breakfast with her best friend and boyfriend. Then, we walked our dogs, who are intelligent, well behaved, and clean, along the river. For lunch, we went to Moe's for Moe's Monday, the best burrito day ever. Aaaaaaand, I believe that brings us to now. Now is me sitting in the basement of the building where her class is trying to make 2 and a half hours go by fast. Well, now that you know of my whereabouts, I'm gonna do something else.

Until next time. 

Peace out.

Video Game Review: Borderlands

Well, I just beat the popular video game "Borderlands." It was amazing. Here are some key things:

1)Visual Arts - I noticed a lot of people complaining about the game's "terrible graphics," but in my opinion, the game doesn't have graphics. It has wonderful, creative, and imaginative art.

2) Story - Holy $#!+. The plot of this RPG is to go across a massive planet called Pandora (try and guess where Avatar stole the name Pandora from...) in search of an ancient treasure in a place called "The Vault." The thing is, The Vault can only be opened once every 200 years, so this is your only chance to do what you've wanted to do all of your life. Even after The Vault is done with, the game still isn't over! There's still a ton of missions to do and between 3 and 4 GB of DLC to keep you occupied!

3) Characters - Well, guess what? THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON A PLANET! Then again, not all of them fit into the story... So let's put it this way. The playable characters are Roland the Soldier, Mordecai the Hunter, Lilith the Siren, and Brick the Beserker. Helping you get closer to The Vault and supplying you with info about it and its guardians is the job of Guardian Angel, an all-knowing AI that orbits Pandora in a satellite. In addition to those five, you also have your trusty Claptrap, which is a robot, and others, like Dr. Zed and T.K. Baha, to give you missions so that you won't get bored. There are a few main enemies in this game, like 9-Toes and Sledge, who are either just trying to stop you from getting closer to The Vault or actually hold pieces to The Vault's key, so if you see a mission with a name of someone that is wanted dead, do it!

4) Enemies - Aside from the main bosses, the enemies are mostly the same, like most games. However, as you get stronger or play with 2 or more people, the enemies get stronger, making it a never ending challenge! ... Until you reach the highest level... then there isn't much of a challenge... Anyway, killing an enemy could result in it dropping an item! Items include guns, shields, money, health, and player upgrades.

5) Weapons - With hundreds and maybe even thousands of different guns scattered across Pandora, you shouldn't have trouble finding one that suits you. Guns include machine guns, snipers, shotguns, repeater pistols, revolvers, combat rifles, rocket launchers, and even alien guns! You also are supplied with grenades. All weapons (except for melee ones) are upgradeable. Most upgrades are for how much ammo you can carry, but there are ones that increase things like magazine size and damage.

My Rating - I f***ing loved this game. Personally, I give it an 11 out of 10.
