Damn lousy PS2...

My PS2 is having disc read errors even though it doesn't show that dreaded screen. What's happening is, I put in the disc, close the lid and press the power button and the game never loads. It just goes to the system screen. So yeah, no progress in anything for now. I don't want to contact Sony because I doubt they even support the PS2 anymore. Even if they do, I don't really care. I've been doing more R/C stuff lately anyway.

Speaking of...

I just had a weekend PACKED with drifting. On Friday, I was at the LHS on their track and I helped them with the pre track that was going to be set up on Saturday. Saturday was going to be a drift demo at a mall close to that hobby store. It was great, lots of drifters showed up, and we had crowds around the track the entire day. I also heard my LHS was able to sell several kits during the demo. Thats good because I want them to stay in business. Then on Sunday, I was at a session at a smaller shop near my LHS for a session. It was a hot day and I was still beat from Saturday. But it was fun. It was the first time I drifted on a uphill track. It was a new challenge for my TA05. It left the bottom of my chassis all scratched up... Oh well, it was only 3 Racing.

I'm going to take a break for a while from drifting.

Update on the Staff of Kings run

I'm not sure just how many people have played SoK but I have to tell those who haven't that it is not easy. No, It's not a hard game. I mean it's not easy because the game isn't finished. The game designers left parts of the game unfinished (the controls for one thing) and getting through without mistakes is a very difficult. I'm going to try to get the first few chapters online soon. (yes, few chapters. I know where to go in the levels so I can get through the first ones fast.) I'll update my progress later on.

First post, what is going to be on here?

This blog is in conjunction with my youtube account and I will be posting text in response to the videos I come out with (mostly game related). For example, I will probably be posting my findings on my discontinued Dead Space constraint run.

Also, I will be posting about my experiences in my other hobby: R/C drifting. What parts I want to buy, where some cool deals I find, tips, etc.

First off, I want to address the discontinued Dead Space run. I know I just started putting the run up and now I'm stopping? Yes. That is correct. I'm ending the run because there isn't much interest in it. (I measure interest by video views) After a few days with 0 views on some videos, I pulled the plug. Why waste my time recording the run and re doing the same levels over and over if no one is going to watch the final video? I'll post my comments on the segments I did get online in a later post.

Anyway I also found a game that doesn't have any walkthrough for it and decided to do one for it. It's actually going to be a Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings walkthrough. I've been a Indy fan ever since I was a little kid. So when I saw that game on the shelf at the store, I just had to pick it up. After completing the game a few times and not seeing any video guides of the game, I decided I'll be the one to do it.

Now for the R/C news...

I've come across with a serious case of Tamiyaitis. I have been going to site and filling the shopping carts with everything for my TA05/TB03/TA03. I don't actually buy what I put in the cart, but I really want to...

Right now my prime focus is getting Tamiya option parts for my TA. My plan is to use every compatable TA05MS part on my TA. So far, I have the bulkheads, spur assembly, and gears in my sights. Later on, I'm going to have a scratch built MS! It's going to take a while because all the parts I need are scattered around several sites and I prefer to buy from one site rather then 3 or more.

Right now though, I currently trying to go LiPo. I got the parts for my charger, all I need now are batteries. Luckily, a local drifter is willing to sell me a very nice Orion 3400 for $40. Of course I'm going to buy it! Haha

Thats all for now.
