An unpublished post on New Year's Eve 2010, I honestly do not know why this wasn't posted:
Right now, it is 3:17 in the afternoon. In about eight and a half hours, it'll be January the first, of 2011. A year that's absolutely critical to me right now. Not only will I graduate, but I have to go out with a college by the Fall. And in that time, I'll need to find a job, get into my permit/license more than ever, and finish high school with the biggest bang I've ever cared about... and then there's my other life, and a big part of that life falls on two words I'm caring about for this summer, as any:
E3 2011.
VIDEO GAMES
E3 2011 is, without any of my doubt, going to be the biggest E3 since 2009, especially for my cradle, Playstation. There is an overwhelming amount of releases and announcements from them this year, from a list of games I'll probably list right now:
- Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
- Resistance 3
- inFAMOUS 2
- Twisted Metal
- Agent
- Dead Space 2
- Batman: Arkham City
... and some other big ones that I can't remember at the moment. And the motherload of them all, the announcement of the PSP Phone. It's gonna be announced eventually, there just isn't any silence on it. And from all the leaks leaked, it's looking to be the PSP alot of us have been waiting for, especially myself. It's going to be a good year for Playstation...
But it doesn't stop with Playstation. Nintendo have more to discuss about the 3DS, as well as a successor to the Wii (there's gonna be one); Microsoft will hopefully have more Kinect releases, and more on Gears of War 3, Mass Effect 3, and whatever Bungie is planning on now... there just isn't a better time for video games, and there isn't a better time to be a gamer, than 2011.
And pre-E3 is looking good, as well. The PS3 "port" of Mass Effect 2 in January, Killzone 3 will be coming in February, L.A Noire will be available in the Spring (I think)... I'll say it again: there just isn't a better time for the video game industry than 2011, and the expectations are staggering.
But I wish my life was just on video games. They aren't.
PRE-2011
I didn't blog this Christmas, so I'll make a small note of it: Christmas day was absolutely quiet.
Christmas Eve was very interesting. My mother got a dinner invitation from her friend/co-worker/whoever, and we spent our Christmas Eve with her friend's family. However, we were late for the grand dinner, so when we arrived, we had to eat by ourselves in the room while guests were leaving, which was kinda awkward, but the kids around me kept it entertaining. After dinner, my father takes out my ancient Mouse Trap board game, and without my consent, declares that I gave it to them. There goes $10 I could have made, but they all had a good time, and my childhood was rushing towards me as I helped set up the contraption.
Senior Project. I hate mentioning it, I hate discussing it with anyone, I hate working on it, I hate everything about it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. But I have to do it, and I'm close to finishing it. I finally came up with a product, and it's coming along well... I just don't want to do it, though. And like I said before, the Senior Project isn't necessarily a difficult project (from my perspective, though)... it's just a matter of my attention-span and care. It is really low right now.
But putting aside the Senior Project, there's
... yeah, now I know why it wasn't published. But two years later, my Senior Project was a roaring success; graduation was absolutely amazing; inFAMOUS 2 was my GOTY for 2011; Uncharted 3 was, and continues to be, a big disappointment; the "Playstation Phone" was a Playschool toy compared to last year's announcement of the NGP, later called the Playstation Vita, which is a portable bitch; and I haven't legitimately touched this blog in a long time...
