Aside from posts that I'll be posting randomly, I think I'll have a required post of anything on Monday's. It seems that's when I most frequently have a post is Monday night. I want to stay active on the interwebs so why not? This will be short and sour, because I know the few that look at my blog probably just browse for boredom and nothing really interesting happens over here, yet.
The thing I'll talk about this week is WWE '12 People's Edition for the Xbox 360. I got it for $25 on eBay, and that is including S/H. Now I thought it was really worth it since it came with a DVD of 2 episodes where The Rock returned to the WWE, a 'trading card' of The Rock and a voucher to download The Rock to play with in the game. Now it was brand new so I was excited that I get the exclusive character, The Rock. Come to find out I could have possibly gotten WWE '12 regular edition cheaper and downloaded The Rock for 80MSP, which is equivalent to $1, but I'm not complaining because I love collectors edition so I couldn't pass this one up since I just recently got back into the WWE after I stopped watching it about 5 years ago, and let me tell ya that I miss the era back than compared to this PG era. It adds nicely to my collection of Xbox 360 games that I'm collecting up now instead of trading and selling them, because you never know. It could be 'retro' one day. The last WWE game I played was 2007 I believe, which was called Smackdown vs Raw instead of solely WWE. I remember when Smackdown was PS2 and Raw was Xbox, and Raw sucked as a game because of the controls. Now these controls they revamped have become very sleek and smooth compared to what they were in 2007. I officially can't wait for my Stone Cold edition to come in the mail so I can start playing the fresh roster that I love to hate, hate to love.
Online for this game sucks because everyone just run grapples you and if you can't counter fast enough, then game over. I'd love to have a co-op Road to Wrestlemania because if you haven't learned already through a few posts is that I love co-op games over single player ones.Who wouldn't love some Tag Team action through the story to win the titles with a buddy? I know I surely would.
There's really now much to talk about right now besides I'm interested in the WWE again and might start watching TNA since a lot of the wrestlers I grew up with are on there now. I guess WWE thought they were getting too 'old'? Jeff Hardy is my favorite, back when it was Hardy Boys with Lita and Jeff Hardy just signed a long term contract with TNA last week so the rumors of him coming back to WWE got shut down. The last time I watched TNA was when Kurt Angle I think just joined it and it was an octagon or something of that nature instead of a square. I guess having more than 4 corners fucks up the WWE Alumni.
Happy Valentines Day anyone and everyone!

Ranting v0.1
I'm going to have a weekly or bi-weekly Ranting segment where I shit on games/movies/etc.. that I have purchased or watched or anything really. This first one will be about a few games I purchased from GameStop and my local used game store.
I went to my local used game store and purchased Bulletstorm for 8.99, to realize that in order to play online I'd need to purchase a $10 online pass, well for the echoes part that is. I asked them about if it required one and they said no so come to conclusion was that I took it out of my xbox, deleted the 0 gamerscore history and now it's awaiting to be returned. I could pay $19.99 for a new copy that comes with the pass so why even bother saving that simple $1? I prefer new over used any day but when it's like a $10 difference then of course I'd go for the used copy. Now I really loved the demo so I was going to think I'd love the game but I'm not even going to bother with it anymore, I already have too many other games to play and I can swap it out for a different one that would probably play better, Mirror's Edge is on my mine. They had it for $12 so I might pick that one up. I played it when it first came out but traded it to a buddy for his Left 4 Dead because like I tell everyone basically on a daily basis is that anything with Zombies has me won over, and that's the truth.
I bought 1 more game from them and it was Rock Band 2. My drums were shit and my whammy bar on the guitar didn't work so for $75 I was definitely going to grab that game. Now I want to return it because it's in worse condition (playable wise) than my current one. Of course when you buy used you can't guarantee everything 100% but luckily they have a 2 week return policy, but only in store credit. That's a good thing for them because than they don't lose out on any profit. They'll get around $85 in merchandise back but I'll be taking a different $85 worth of merchandise home, so it's a win win situation. I might pick up a game boy and pokemon yellow while I'm at it! They have everything you could think of. That's that on my local used game store, now let's head on over to the GameStop part of this rant.
After I was done with the game store I headed on over GameStop to get Rock Band 1 for $0.99 and I browsed around a bit to see what else I wanted that was fairly cheap. They had Duke Nukem Forever for a few bucks so I snagged that, even though everyone gave it bad reviews. You think it wouldn't be a horrible game either way because Gearbox snagged the rights for it, and let me tell you they never disappoint on anything. Now I'm not saying it's a horrible game but it's not a great game either, but for $3 you can't go wrong. I played a match of multiplayer, which had about 10 people max on there and it was weird because the controls are different than what I expected them to be. This game had great potential but I think the fans wanted more out of it than it was given. Either way I'll keep it or take it back and grab the balls of steel edition for $20. I looked that thing up and it comes with a lot of goodies for just a $20 bill.
I kept browsing around and grabbed RAGE to see what it was about, I played 1 multiplayer session on that and talked to the guy about how the single player game was and he said it was crap. Without even touching it I put everything back in it's case and it's awaiting its return back to the shelves of GameStop. Upon checking out I asked the guy if he had any Tony Hawk games with covers, I can't stand those generic ones but the Platinum Hits I abide by sometimes. He pulled out Project 8 and I was excited. I really been looking for American Wasteland because that is by far the best game for Tony Hawk, besides THUG. I've been looking everywhere locally for Tony Hawk games with covers on them and this was my first one for $5 and I played a bit of it. I payed with my created skater and I guess I was obsessed with Travis Barker, because that's what he looks like. He's got the hawk, famous, tats, everything to resemble that you could think of for that game.
To come to the conclusion, I love used games most of the time because of things like this happen. When you get a new game, you are stuck with it unless you trade it in for crap cash or sell it to someone else for a little less than you payed for. All in all I love the outcome of my adventure and stay tuned for v0.2 :) Thanks for reading, maybe?

Blogs of the Dead
Hello and welcome to a one time segment of, Blogs of the Dead. Where we (as in I) talk about the death of blogs, from my point of view.
I used to see blogs as a public way to vent but on the internet. What I mean by venting is to post whatever your heart desires. From posting about your favorite band, to what you did that week, or how Hulu Plus is pissing me off right as I type this. The damn thing keeps stopping and I'm about to cancel the piece of shit. Well anyways is was your own page and you could do whatever you want. It was basically and still is a place to call your own or home when you are online. Some people use Blogs for so much more than just a personal use like I do, to talk about non sense. I do see blogs dying but I don't see them disappearing, just dwindling.
On to the matter of the subject that I am appointing to. What I mean by them dwindling is that Facebook pages and Twitter has taken blogging to a whole new level. They call Twitter micro blogging and Facebook it self is considered something like that. Tumblr took it to a whole new level by incorporating the easy post and feeds but while anyone can get a Facebook page, it seems like you can get a better group of followers through their instead of redirecting everyone to a different website outside of the comfort zone of Facebook. There are still many popular blogs out there that probably get more followers than a decent Facebook page, but in sense you see people making pages instead of blogs now a days.
I made a Facebook page but never got around to using it. I'd rather post crap on here where maybe 1 person reads a year since it makes me feel all special like. Posting more often would probably net me more people coming to my blog but I tend to only post once a week and sometimes less than that, it all depends on what life has given me around that time.
This was a small vent but to anyone that reads my blog, what is your input on blogs and Facebook pages? Do you agree with me or do you think they are as popular as they were 5 years ago?

Random Boredom
I've tried Tumblr, I've tried WordPress, and now I'm back on Blogger. Tumblr is more so for pictures, wordpress is for the hxc bloggers and I see blogger itself as a simple unique blog where I can post all my crap. On Tumblr I tried going for the 1 post a day thing but it failed, it was mainly just photos but Assassin's Creed 3 came out and I lost track of time. Now I'm going to be here but instead it will be random. There might be a post a day, there might be a post a week, I don't know yet but all I can say is I have a life and this is just for fun and to just post crap I want to. Now enough about this, go check out this link and report back. Haha

Emfulz.com v.7
Wondering why I haven't posted something new in a few days? Yea I thought so, but I'll tell you anyway. I've been working hard on making my blog look better to the 'few' viewers that come here. It's taking me longer then I'd like but I'm slowly getting there. So in the next few days I should have this fully done to v1 and start doing my daily or so posts on bull shit.
If you are wondering why I am calling this Emfulz.com v.7, it's that v1 is not here yet. When you see that the 'Attention' text leave the front page, then you are looking at v1 of my blog. Now if you see it, then read it.
This is just an update post and if you have any comments, suggestions, and such then please post them for me to read. I need input on what to make better. Now go back on your way and get to work! :D

Xbox Live Zune Rant
A little rant is about to take place here, so prepare yourself with enough fire power to take down a zombie army.
Lately I've been actually watching more movies and television then playing video games, probably because there is Red Box 1 block away from my house and I've been getting into all these new TV shows out there. Since I wanted to see the new American Pie movie on my TV and the Red Box does not have it, I decided to go to the Xbox Live Movie Marketplace, Zune. I searched for it, found it, refused to pay the outrageous fee for it. You get to keep the movie for 24 hours when renting after you pressed play. I used to rent from Zune because it was cheaper then heading down to Movie Gallery and picking one up there, after you added the gas price in with it.
I refused to pay for this movie because you have to pay 320MSP just for the Standard Definition, which adds up to around $4USD. I could easily just walk down a block and rent 4 new movies (not including tax) for the same price. Why do they think this is a good idea? Well it's Microsoft. I believe there TV Shows are the same way. It'd probably be cheaper just to go out and buy the Season on DvD (or blu-ray) and you could also watch it anytime, anywhere, anyplace you want. I think this is ridiculous and MS needs to revise there prices before it's too late, Red Box is taking over the Movie business.
Now the final part to the Zune is the Music Video section, and ohh-muh-gawd is it awful! You can watch the Music Videos for free through YouTube or you can set up the Media Center from your PC to the Xbox and watch some that way, at least I do. I think it's ridiculous (again) how you have to pay $1-$2 for a Music Video now, but when it first launched on the Pre-NXE it was free. I don't understand how things work in the media business but I know for a fact that these prices do not bring in a lot of revenue. Hell the Red vs Blue episodes cost money on Zune while you go to there site and you can watch for free, or even better yet, buy the Box Set and DvDs for a lot cheaper then what Zune offers. I'm hoping that Microsoft fixes the prices in the future to lower them, but that's like asking someone to jump off a mountain with no parachute. Would you do it?
That's it for now, stay tuned for the next rant which will be talking about the Xbox Live Game Marketplace, oh please help us.
Prices all come down to $4 per Standard Definition Movie, $2 per TV Show Episode, and $1-2 per Music Video.
Note: these prices are for renting, not buying, except for the Music Video.
If you want to watch FREE TV Shows on your computer, then head on over to Hulu.com, they also have a small selection of Movies to watch.

Welcome to Emfulz.com
Emfulz.com will be my personal blog but with a twist. What I mean is that instead of rambling random stuff like most people do on blogs, I will be rambling about Entertainment. You'll find Gaming news, reviews, videos, screenshots. The same thing with the Media side. You'll see news, reviews, videos, and screenshots for TV Shows, Movies, and Music I like. Very rarely will you see anything about Books, as I do not read them often.
So mostly this site is just to keep someone busy for the hour, that is once this site has enough content. :) Also I haven't decided if I want to let the Forum plugin to have guests post or just registered. You tell me in the comments below, and I'll decide. Thank you.

Close Yet Far
First let me just say that I'm back on this blog to post random junk since I did not care for WordPress nor did I find Tumblr to be all that they say it could be. If you would like to visit my Tumblr blog which I posted alot in the month of June, then head on over to the link that says "Old Blog" above my nifty looking Gamertag.
Now I was going to use my domain of Emfulz.com on this Blog but as of right now Google doesn't think it exists and says Not Found every time I link it on here. Hopefully soon they fix that or I can find out what's wrong and get my awesome domain name back so I can be as official as those with the expensive Hosted Blogs.
There's a lot to do with this blog since I want to edit it to make it as fancy as my old one looked but that will take time since I'm rushing through my school and recently found out I am not a '09 but now a '10 unless I can flash through my Game Designing and Flash Animation courses. Want to see the small games I've made so far? I'll upload them later and post them in a new post, so stay tuned for that. I'll just say they aren't that fancy but they are awesome for being my first time but with some small flaws in them. Hopefully I get better at that.
Told ya!I actually meant bang!

Lacking
I've been lacking on this blog for a few short reasons, which consist of my health and mind.
First off, I found out wednesday that I have gallstones and all that the doctor told me was that they were taking my gallbladder out. I've never been in surgery and was hoping never to be. So in 2 weeks from wednesday [2 days ago] I will be asleep getting a small cut in my stomach while they take my lonely small gallbladder.
Now this is not painful but the thing that is on my mind making me worry so much about this is, the movie Awake. It's where a kid goes into surgery and the whole time he can feel the pain but can not move at all and my sister tells me that 1 in a million people go through that which is flippin' me out. I'm not 100% sure if that's true but I have been searching for about 6 hours now off and on trying to find if it is or not, hoping that it's not but when I do go I will be able to ask the doctor to see if it's true.
If it wasn't for that then I'd be okay with this surgery. All I know is that once it's all done and over, I will have to stay relaxed for about a week or two with no heavy lifting and good digestable foods.
Nothing can be more painful then the pain I get in my abdominal every week or two from the stones. If you are wondering what it feels like, have someone pick up a brick and non-stop for about 3-6hours hit you in the chest area under your chest bone and that's what it feels like. I wouldn't even want my worst enemies to go through this pain, only thing that helps the pain is to apply pressure to it but after you are done with that then it gets worse, so you just have to sit it out and laying down does not help any.
So for the next 2 weeks I will most likely only be posting every 2 days instead of daily but then in about a month I should be back on schedule. BTW you should check My Brute out and help him level =P Until next time, here's a small video to keep you afloat.
