Retiring from Video Gaming (Updated)

It’s been a fun journey over the past 15 years. I’ve completed every video game that I have bought, and I’ve got a lot of praise for video gaming! Unfortunately, I just can’t keep up with video games anymore.

I’m still looking for a part-time job (it’s in this year’s resolutions) so I can save money and head for college. This is why I want/have other things to do things outside of video gaming. I’ve got other things going on that are a better use of my time, so, come June 19, they will be no more.

Hudson Soft, the king of Deca Sports series, Bomberman series, Bloody Roar series, and Adventure Island series, will be headed for the Deadpool next week. It was acquired by Konami in early 2011. Sega already exited the console business in early 2001 to focus on software.

I still haven’t bought the final PS2 game called Taito Legends 2, though it will urinate on Capcom Classics Collection and Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection (or Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection if you live in Europe/South America). On May 5th, I will be shelving my Wii. The final Wii game was Wii Play: Motion. I will be playing video games on the weekends, one spring break, and a few holidays before that date. I will also be deactivating my Xbox Live account.

If you still have a Wii or an Xbox 360, you can add me (Wii number in the About & Contact page, the gamertag is coryroberts) until that time. My time playing video games has been amazing and I’m going to miss it.

Thank you for the great memories!

Also note, CORYROBERTSINTOKYO.net (my portfolio) will be back online soon, this time with HostGator, as well as the new design for this blog and portfolio.

Nintendo Wii and Desperate Housewives rides off into the sunset (Updated: PS2 will ride off into the sunset as usual)

The Nintendo Wii has been around for five years from its original launch date. The reason why they are discontinuing the Wii is they’re not saying is why. The console dropped 10% of its sales. Wii U will be released on Holiday 2012.

On March 15th, I will discontinue playing (and purchasing) the single-player Wii games. No single-player Wii games will be purchased, including any plans to purchase another Wii game. The UK/PAL version of Mario Party 8 had the word “spastic” in the dialogue, which is an offensive word in the UK. Later changed to “erratic”.

ABC will be pulling the plug on Desperate Housewives on May 2012. Despite an untrue “blatant violations” on all wikis, they said that my old handle was considered inappropriate after I changed to “coryroberts” and “coryrobertsintokyo”. It’s like going to jail, if you violated the sites’ terms of service and its policies. On the other hand, the stars of Desperate Housewives will move on to new ventures.

One Life to Live may go off the air next year (Updated: Off the air now)

The 43-year-old soap opera has reached its final moments. The stars and creators of One Life to Live will move on to new ventures.

The first episode aired on June 15, 1968, which it was before the internet, and my time. I was too young to watch that soap at that time (I was only about 4 or 5 at the time). I’m putting One Life to Live in the deadpool. If you read the article at Huffington Post (or Wikipedia or any other news source), you’ll get more information.

I have a personal website to keep, which it has been down for days due to Go Daddy’s CEO shot an elephant as I have planned to move to HostGator and using WordPress again (only for a portfolio), while this one will be a blog.

There are other things that will be deadpooled for next year: Autism and disability, if you want to prove that you’re [really] not autistic anymore (and also not disabled), talk to your parents, siblings, friends, etc. to prove that you’re not autistic anymore and not disabled. Then the “DDS case manager” (DDS case managers are served as enemies and ruins everyone’s lives… and their future) will not bother you anymore (throw water balloons directly at the crotches, if you have them, or snowballs, not bricks). Also, these community centers for the disabled are served as “enemy” buildings; it’s not like going to school; it’s like joining the enemy forces.

Update as of January 5th: Autism and disability have been permanently deadpooled, but most importantly, call your DDS case manager and tell him/her to take a hike.

Update as of January 13th: This soap opera has hit the deadpool.
