About Me (the Dudess)

Well, hello, again. I'm back to show you all I'm still alive here!

I decided I would copy Gimli and do an "About Me" post.

My two favourite subjects are The Lord of the Rings and the computer. LOTR is the best book/movie ever...so I love it. (Okay, that sounded kind of lame, but whatever, it never hurts to be lame sometimes [not a broken leg, lame, the other meaning :P]) Computer? I love to blog, check my email, make movies, and work on my book. Soon, I'm going to start learning html so I can put my two fav things together and make a LOTR fan website! :D

I Shall Return!

Hello my readers! Actually, I guess I should be saying good bye. Tomorrow, I'm heading to a summer camp! :D gonna have a blast so, I'll see you all in a week!
Dudess! Keep the blog alive while I'm gone! :)
Hope you all enjoyed my Parkour drop and I may even post some other techniques I know.
Thanks for reading my blogs and watching my vlogs everyone!
Keep doing what you do best which, is being awesome!

C4cow's Drop of Doom

Hello my readers! Here is the Parkour video I promised!
This is a very high drop and I'm just glad I practiced the landing and rolls so much. One of the scariest moments in my life. In this video I risk my limbs for your entertainment :D (only because I was 99.9 % sure I could do it :P)
Don't try this at home (unless you do Parkour as well and if your ready)
Hope you enjoy it and, please tell me any other suggestions in the comments.
Thanks for watching.

About Me (The Dude)

Hey readers! I thought I'd tell you a little  bit about myself (hopefully you don't fall asleep).
I love Parkour! It is one of my passions in life. Practicing it is a great experience because it pushes you to your limits and, if you keep with it, your limits will increase! I feel great after a day of urban exploring and it works all the muscles in the body. I feel recharged after pushing myself to the limit of my abilities and I'm still learning new things! If your thinking of trying a type of exorcise then, I suggest Parkour.
Archery is an awesome pass time as well. I've spent hours practicing and perfecting my technique. So many hours that, almost all my arrows are broken :( I have to buy some new ones very soon.
Survival in the elements! Always a challenge but so worth doing. One time, my friends and I went up into the mountains (not on the mountains but next to them) and built shelters to stay the night. I won a prize for best shelter because the next year, mine was still standing and the most preserved :D I came in third in fire starting lol Still, I love the outdoors and, I wish I could go with my friends this Friday because, they are going to stay out in the mountains (again, next to them) for two days. One match. One potato. So sad I can't join them :(
Hmmm, what else is there? Well, I also enjoy long walks on the beach, lying under the stars and talking about the great mysteries in life, and of course romantic candle lit dinners. But, since this isn't my Eharmony profile (not that I have one) I'll just rephrase that so it says, " I love chilling with friends, on the beach, in the malls, and talking about yesterday's stupid weather."
So, my awesome readers! What do you think of this post? Comment and please tell me what you want in my blog and I'll make it happen! Star Wars Vlog coming soon! And a Parkour jump of awesome! (from my garage roof which is a fairly good height)
Thanks for reading!

Question the Dude

Hello My awesome readers! I'm going to start a question of the week post!
This is the part of the blog where you get to ask me a question! (Not to complicated right?)
In the comments, post your questions and, then I will pick one and answer it (because there are so many other things I could do other than answer the question).
This will hopefully be a very interactive series of posts and, I hope a lot of you will give me questions :D
Basically on almost any topic, just ask and I will answer!
Post in the comments on what you think of this idea and I leave you with an epic pic!
Funny Pictures - Shark Week

I'm Sorry Youtube....

Hello my amazingly awesome readers!
Turns out my tennis vlog was a little over the time limit that youtube can handle so I'll re-shoot it next Wednesday. I'll do a Star Wars Vlog as soon as I think of what it should be about and I may even do a Parkour vlog. Again, sorry for messing up and I hope you enjoy my future videos.
Keep doing what you seem to do so naturally which, is being awesome!

Video Game Review: COD Modern Warfare 2

Hello my awesome readers! Today I'm going to write my review on COD Modern Warfare 2! I just completed the game yesterday so here's what I think of it.
As far as a first person shooter goes, the game has a lot of action to offer. I have to say I was a little annoyed at times when I was being completely murdered from 360 degrees but, that may have had something to do with hiding in the middle of the road. MW2 can be frustrating because the enemy will keep spawning until you move closer to your objective. This makes for some frustratingly long street fights if you don't realize what's going on. The game puts you in the boots of three main characters. You play as an American ranger, "Soap" from the first game, and Gary "roach" Sanderson. You also have a brief role as an undercover American who is trying too infiltrate the terrorist organization of Makerov. The new bad guy who took over after you eliminated Imran Zekeav. The main story is mostly about hunting down the terrorist group but it develops a strange twist near the end. I won't say what happens but let's just say you are betrayed by one of your own. For plot, the game isn't the greatest but it gets by with the huge amount of action. As for missions, there are a variety of objectives ranging from, capturing an arms dealer to something as awesome as moving through a blizzard with a heart beat sensor and infiltrating an enemy compound. The Special Ops also add a great deal of fun to the game. Two players can play split screen on a large variety of mini, timed missions that, increase in  the level of challenge as you unlock each section. There is no co-op on the normal story mode and this is one of the games larger downsides. Online play is amazing and makes up for what the game lacks in story and saves the game from being just another shoot em up. A large variety of weapons and attachments (including the heart beat sensor from the story mode) and a great variety of game modes, make the multiplayer one of the best parts of the game. The downside is that a lot of the really good weapons are unlocked at very high levels so, if you don't mind waiting a while for the AK47 then this game should be just fine for you. One other thing about the online is that the killstreaks are all good but, the last one is a little unrealistic. If you succeed in getting a 25 kill streak then, you are able to call a tactical nuke. That's right... I also heard that, once you use it it ends the game. Slight overkill happening there but it is rare for anyone to get a tactical nuke so, you don't have to worry to much about your game ending in a radioactive mess. Over all, I'd say that COD MW2 is about 8.5 of 10.
Good yet, sometimes overwhelming firefights.
Less good plot.
Awesome two player co-op mini missions.
Amazing multiplayer.
Good graphics
Thanks for reading!
Hope you liked my review and please post your ideas for future posts in the comments.
Are there any games you'd like to see reviewed?
I will probably do a Star Wars Vlog soon after I've done the sports one.
Keep doing what you do best! And of course, that's being awesome!
