If you didn't know, the demo for the new James Bond game, Quantum of Solace came out yesterday, and I just played it. From what I could tell, it's actually pretty good, although short (I beat it in about ten minutes). Is it strange that I've never seen a James Bond movie? Or that the only Star Wars movie I've seen was Episode 1? Probably.
You know what? I'm just going to stop here. I'm tired and just not in the mood to blog, but I have to, because I'll probably sleep the rest of the night. Sometimes I wonder why I decided to blog at all, much less a post a day. I never can remember the real reason, but I'm pretty sure I was out of my mind at the time.
Oh, and you can get the aforementioned QoS demo here.

i think Age of Chivalry is a pretty cool guy. eh makes for some epic battles and doesn't afraid of anything
As you may know, VALVe has recently started hosting Half-Life 2 Mods directly from Steam, as opposed to just having a page with a link to a site that hosts the Mod. Due to this new feature, I finally got around to downloading Age of Chivalry, and it's actually very good. If you can get on a server with several people (which isn't too hard right now, but the player numbers may eventually start to go down as soon as the "new" wears off) on a large map, it can actually make for some pretty epic battles, because there's maybe 30-something people all fighting fairly close together (all classes are melee except for the archer, but even then you have to be pretty close because it's kinda hard to aim the arrows), and the classes are, for the most part, pretty balanced, so it's actually pretty great.
I don't know if you've noticed, but I don't have anything of importance to blog about, but I needed to go ahead and do it now, because I plan on going to sleep soon and I probably won't be up for twelve hours or so.

Stuck in a Rut
Well, I haven't gotten an email about the LBP Beta. Yet. I will. I know I will. I have until Monday to get the email, but be assured that I will get in that beta if it's the last thing I do (at least I'd die happy, right?).
You know, as you can probably tell if you read this blog much (ha ha, good one), I haven't been very inspired to blog about much of anything of importance as of late. I've just been a little depressed lately, but I don't know why. I feel like I need to vent about something, but I can't really think of what. I feel like I should really be doing something. I haven't really done anything lately. I mean, I'm 15, and I don't even have my driver's permit. I don't even really want one, but I think I should at least have one. I know how to drive, and I know most of the laws and everything, but from what I understand, I'll have to take a written test. I'm not sure how I would do on an actual test. Like, think about it: I've been homeschooled literally all my life, and the homeschool laws where I live have never been very strict, so I've never had to take an actual, legal test. I'm pretty sure I could do well enough, but I don't want to just do well enough.
I'm a perfectionist, at least with some things. I've never been very good at any sports (except for Karate, I was pretty good at that), so I've always felt the need to prove myself to people with my intelligence, and even though I'm no Einstein by any means, I like to think I'm at least above-average. If I don't do exceptionally well on intelligence-proving things like tests, I start my emo-ish self loathing phase, and although I don't do any physical damage to myself, I tend to do some bit of mental loathing. I feel like, if I don't have my intelligence, what do I have? Gaming won't get me that far. I used to be pretty good at drawing, but I just haven't been able to do much with that lately.
The calmer, more logical part of me wants to just try new things (such as Blogging and NaNoWriMo), hoping that something will stick and that I can just get my feet in as many doors as possible, but the dumber, more practical part of me just wants to..."give up", so to speak (not as in suicide, but more as in just not even trying at anything anymore). Of course, my logical mind is overpowering my practical mind, but sometimes it seems like my practical mind is putting up a helluva fight, you know?
Meh.

Nintendo DSi Offically Announced
Yeah, the rumors from last week were true. Today in Japan, Nintendo officially announced the Nintendo DSi, a revamped version of the DSLite, but without a GBA slot. The DSi will feature a larger 3.25 inch screen, two cameras that boast a resolution of 640x480 pixels (VGA) each, and unspecified audio enhancements, according to Wired. In addition to a new SD card slot, the DSi will feature built-in memory for the storage of games and pictures.
The DSi will have a built-in web browser, which can be used to access the DSWare Store, where gamers can download games to their SD card, with Nintendo Points (formerly Wii Points), where games can be bought for free, 200 Points, 500 Points, or 800 Points. In addition, anyone who accesses the DSWare Store before March 2010 will receive 1000 Points (worth $10 USD) free.
The DSi will be available for purchase on November 1st in Japan in both white and matte black colors for 18,900 Yen (about $180 USD), and sometime in Spring 2009 for the US.
Man, no GBA slot? Does that mean I can't play Guitar Hero: On Tour?

More WoW and The Else
I've been playing WoW quite a bit lately. I'm almost level 19 now. I don't want to get addicted. I had that problem with MapleStory (the Dark Days of my gaming...career?), and I want to be able to quit whenever I want. I don't think I'm addicted yet, but I do play an awful lot. I'm debating on whether or not to go ahead and buy Burning Crusade. I mean, if I keep playing this much, I'll probably end up getting it sooner or later anyway, and then I'll end up getting Wrath of the Lich King when it comes out, but I just don't know. I'm still way in debt.
I've been listening to They Might Be Giants a lot lately, specifically their album The Else. I'm not really sure what you'd classify them as, but I really like it. I think I like it more than their older stuff, too. I'm really liking the songs The Bee of the Bird of the Moth, I'm Impressed, Upside Down Frown, Careful What You Pack, The Shadow Government, Feign Amnesia, and The Mesopotamians. There's actually not a song I don't like, but those are my favorites.
