Last day of freedom (spring break)

I thought I'd make a short rant for the month of March and a quick recap of my spring break.  The month of March was a crazy one with final essays, projects and exams as I got ready for spring break.   I just checked my grades 2 nights ago, and amazing got 3 A's and 2 A-'s (the two classes that consisted of the one I thought I did bad in and one I hated).  But enough of that, I enjoyed my spring break.  How do I know that?  Because it felt short, and time flies when you're having fun.

I was going to do some work either with personal projects, club work, or writing a statement of acceptance into the game culture program; however, I did nothing!!!  I ended finals on the first day and so I got about 2 weeks of spring break.  In the first week, I went to Play N Trade with my dad near our house and bought some games since they were going out of business and had a big sale.  It's sad to hear they're not going to be there anymore, and we were just going there to buy Street Fighter IV.

They didn't have it, but their sales were pretty awesome and just to difficult to ignore.  Playstation 2 games were 50% off and Wii games were 20% off.  We ended up buying *cough* "10 games."  Yeah, it was pretty epic.  I'm going to be super busy this summer, haha.  We got some pretty good games too, some being ones I've wanted for 9 years now.  To name a few, we got Dawn of Mana (New/unopened too!), Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, Xenosaga Episode 1, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Tekken 5 (Jin and Asuka Kazama FTW!) all being on PS2.

[WARNING: Blood and gore consists in this video.  Don't watch if you can't handle it.]

The only one game that wasn't PS2 was Dead Rising: Chop Till you Drop for Wii.  Yup, I actually bought it, and I think I spent most of my break playing this game killing over 3000+ zombies.  Killing zombies is pretty addictive in this game, and it's very relaxing too! XD  Other than that, I played some Tekken 5 as substitute for Street Fighter 4 (for now) with my dad along with 2 nights of X-Men Legends 2.  I also played a little bit of Gameboy DS and I think 1 night of DotA.

Well, class starts tommorrow and I want to enjoy a little bit of freedom before then, so I think I'll go play something right now.  Yeah, I'm not looking forward to this quarter, maybe except for my Game Design class (dubbed World of Warcraft Class by my professor) that is if I can get in.

2 Audio Creations and Zombie Madness!!!

I gotta make this post quick since I still have homework to do, haha.  Anyways, I had a *somewhat* better week than last, though I did end up with a lot of work I have to do.  One of them being making an audio project for my Digital Multimedia class showing that we're capable of using audio programs and stuff like that.  First project was to do a mash up; get several audio files and combine them in a certain order or way.  So I used old commercials and shows related to Nintendo back in the 80's and created a weird audio mix out of it.  Second project I finished last night where I had to create a plenderphonic (essentially changing the speed of an audio to create different sounds from it).  I used the sound from a TV Bar Tone and made a techno-ish mix out of it.  Here they are:

Lately, I've been talking to my friend Danny and my sister about games, and they all add up to zombies!  My sister and I are thinking of getting a few interesting games that's coming out soon or later:

Dead Rising- Chop till you Drop

Dead Rising 2

Resident Evil 5

Danny was telling me about Left4Dead being only $25 on Steam now.  He immediately bought it and downloaded it.  Ah, I miss playing that game, lol.  I've been recently getting back into Phantasy Star Universe since I kept getting hyped up on Phantasy Star Portable and Phantasy Star Zero.  Well, I'm falling behind in work now, I better go finish up my reading and notes.  I hope I get some time to play some games tonight!
