BRB
BRB playing Skyrim see you in a million years... haha, no but if anyone actually reads this, what is your race on Skyrim? Like it a lot so far because it reminds me of Fallout 3 which makes the process a lot easier to learn. I am a Wood Elf, female of course. This game kicks ass.

Make Love Not Warcraft- my WoW addiction
South Park has always been one of my favorite shows. Its far out ridiculousness and over the top episodes are the reason I like it so much. Well one day in my normal South Park watching routine, the episode "Make Love Not Warcraft" came on. This, my friends, this single episode, made me want to purchase this game. I had to have it, it was everything I wanted in a game, to make a customized character with special traits and abilities, the freedom to explore a whole world while being an Elf (what I always wanted to become).
We preceded to Best Buy where I purchased my treasure. I have heard countless people state "this game took two years of my life away" or "this game ruined my life" on and on... There is no way this would happen to me I thought. I have self control. HA!!! By the time I was done with this game 2 plus years later I was almost reduced to Cartman asking his mom for a bucket for him to shit into. No joke ladies and gentlemen, this game will ruin you. Why you ask? This is a game that always changes, you can never win, you can never be the best. Your equipment will always be shitty, you will never have all the best enchants or the best weapons, you will never be in the best guild or have the best group to run dungeons with, you will never beat all the raids or in my case beat any raid, and you play countless hours a day to be better or level alts just to remain shitty. Because the people with all that shit above that I just mentioned play for 18 hours a day rather than the 6 that you play.
It was such a relief to come back to regular gaming and not have 13 year old's call me a cunt and tell me to die. With regular gaming I could just be shitty and complete my games at a normal pace of 4-6 hours of video games a day. I do miss my level 85 night elf Azadeh and my level 85 human mage Nasreen and countless alts, but they are in a better place, frozen in time with Blizzard begging you to come back to them for the price of $16 a month and numerous new expansion packs to buy. Yes, sometimes I think back and miss WoW but for the most part, I am glad I broke the addiction.

My anticipated games 2012
I am writing this in between blogs since my next one is taking a while. There are so many great games coming out in 2012 and so many I am looking forward to.
My number 1 most anticipated game goes to...
Mass Effect 3!! I absolutely can't wait for this game, the second one blew me away (another blog to come) and I hope this lives up to all the hype! I do have one concern though, with all the bugs in PS3 lately, I hope my pre-ordered ME3 game on PS3 isn't riddled with bugs like Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim... I do have an xbox 360, so maybe I will consider the xbox version... Anyway, I am a fem Shepard and LOVE Thane Krios... Yes you boys will be annoyed by this, so I will tell you that yes, Tali is sexy, Ashley, meh, and Miranda is a bitch.
Other awesome 2012 games:
Metal Gear Solid: Rising- But won't be the same without Snake :'(
Diablo III- haven't played *gulp* but my brother swears by Diablo
Bioshock Infinite
Assassins Creed III
GTA V
I've seen a few comics about Raiden being a girl, and some chicks dressing up as Raiden, but I think he is a manly sexy man.
Anyway, there are A LOT of games to anticipate in 2012, but these are the ones I'm excited for

Uncharted Series
Uncharted 1: Drakes Fortune
Yes the graphics are amazing, gameplay is smooth and storyline flows, but to me this game was very bland and personally I couldn't wait to finish it for the mere fact of trading it back. This game was way too linear for my tastes and some of the gunfights were tedious and drawn out. In some instances (closer to the beginning of the game) you had to clear out 40 plus enemies with a hand gun which just got plain boring. Not to mention the hand gun was like tossing pebbles at rhinoceroses. The zombies were a nice twist... Kept me on my feet.
Bottom line for me
Game: 6
Replay Value: 0
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Ok I know I just slammed the first game, so why play the second? Well as I was researching new games to play, this game won so many damn rewards and had so many game sites that gave it a 10 (10 is rare to find) that I had to see if improvements were made. The graphics were even more detailed and amazing this game, the attention to detail was superb, some of the conversations made me laugh and Chloe is a nice upgrade from Elena in terms of looks. The gameplay is still smooth and simple, melee combat almost solely exists by tapping square but is improved from the last game with sneak modes. The storyline is terrific, but I do find myself bored in some of the drawn out gunfights, although they have improved from last game. The weapon choices are still a bit scarce for me and the enemy intelligence is minimal. Bottom line: the original landscapes and storyline always kept me guessing and it was also very challenging on normal mode. Great game, definitely worth the $20 that the game is now going for.
Game: 8
Replay Value: 5
If I decide to play 3, I will update!

God of War
God of War 1
WOW what a game!! Whoever thought of this is a genius, you know what I mean if you actually read Greek mythology, the whole concept of it being put into a game is awesome. This game's graphics and storyline were excellent, the gameplay was smooth and the combo attacks were fun and challenging. The puzzles were just hard enough. I have no complaints with this game, it is original and well done.
Score: 9
Replay Value: 5
God of War 2
This game for me was highly anticipated and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It totally met my expectations in every way, and even exceeded them. The puzzles were harder, graphics even more bad ass and the bosses were a blast and very hard. It was colorful and exciting and had an even more enticing storyline. The best part was slowly being introduced to mythological characters and seeing how the game portrayed them and the role they played.
Score: 10
Replay Value: 5
God of War 3
I don't know what happened... I hated this game. I feel like I'm alone on this. In no way did this fill the void of completing the series. Kratos has always been kind of a dick, but this game made him the dick of all dicks. He just creeped me out the entire game and made me feel like I was helping a murderous rapist destroy the world. This game depressed me, everyone dies and everything is destroyed. At the end no more Gods exist and no more world exists, just chaos and wandering souls. Yes, this may be the point of the game's storyline and it wasn't supposed to be sunshine and unicorns but I just felt like the game fell short. The bosses were simpler and fewer than GOWII and the scenery was just a big loop, I was so sick of seeing the same 3 statues in the main room and hated the big cube labyrinth. It wasn't hard, it was boring and tedious. Finding Zeus as the main storyline was drawn out and the same thing as GOWII, except the battle was very underwhelming. Glad to be done with that game, if he did fall into the sea, I won't be playing Kratos a 4th time. BLAH and disappointment.
