12.09.2004
|
45. Games on the back burner...

I'm not playing games and that bothers me, I get kinda personal in this one. This post turned out to be complely unwarrented, falling away from gaming, pffft.
|
|
12.04.2004
|
44. Resident Evil 4!
|
I talk about Resident Evil 4 and put it on my "First games to get in 2005" list. After I beat Tales I want to beat a bunch of games, little did I know, but I wouldn't finish ToS until March 2005.

12.01.2004
|
43. Doing some "other" stuff...

|
37. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes First Impressions...

Another post regarding waiting for games to get for my town, little did I know, I'd get MP2:E soon after I wrote this post.

|
35. MP2: E Review...
|
GameSpot reviews Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, it's a 9.1, so I try to guess what IGN will give it, turns out I ended up only 0.1 off the IGN score.
|
|
11.11.2004
|
34. I Did it Again...
|
I finish Metroid Prime in 7hours and 30minutes, a personal record, so I decide to play through a 4th time to beat that time.
|
|
11.10.2004
|
33. What did I decide to do?
|
I decided that I would play through Metroid Prime again, this time going through as fast I possibly could.

9. Can't write...
|
My skills at writing first impressions articles were lacking back in the day. Another pretty much useless one line post.
|
|
09.11.2004
|
8. Dear, Burnotut 3...
|
Probably one of most useless posts ever to hit the Borg, it's a single line "love letter" to Burnout 3: Takedown. What a wierdo.
|
|
09.10.2004
|
7. Still waiting for Burnout 3: Takedown...
|
A silly little post about me waiting for Burnout 3: Takedown to come. Get up at 8am, delivery shows up at 3pm. Get up at NOON, delivery shows up at 9am. Just another one of life's great mysteries.
|
|
09.09.2004
|
6. That Close!
|
A post about just missing the delivery of my FREE copies of Burnout 3 and about how I came about recieving the free copies. This was my Birthday, funny I didn't mention it.

5. Finding Games In My Town... grrr....
|
The first of many posts of me complaining about how hard it is to find games in my little town and complaining about the price of Star Ocean 3, which I'd end up buying later in 2004.

09.07.2004
|
4. I guessed WRONG...
|
A little post about GameSpot's review score of 9.5 for Burnout 3 Takedown and how I guessed not quite right, about 0.3 below the score to be exact.
|
|
09.07.2004
|
3. Now Playing...
|
My first article about what I'm now playing, basically me raving about SSX3 and NHL Hitz Pro and the rare use of "LOL" in a Borg post.
|
|
09.05.2004
|
2. Just a little note...
|
2nd ever Borg post, The early Borg posts sure were small, Burnout 3 is out in 2 days and I need a new PS2 controller and Memory Card.

|
1. Burnout 3: Takedown
|
The first ever Borg post, which actually isn't a Borg post, the Borg first hit the net as Alpha99's Journal, as for the post itself it's a tiny little write up on my predictions for IGN's and GameSpot's review scores of Burnout 3: Takedown (I was actually pretty close on both counts).
