Oh yeah... And Happy New Year. Although I know nobody reads this.

Just began getting into FFR (Flash Flash Revolution). I used to be amazing at DDR, and I'm quite good at guitar hero, so it's really easy for me. I want them to create a downloadable version of it so I can play it offline. It's almost as addictive at guitar hero- too bad I don't have guitar hero....

I don't have any new gaming systems, actually. The most recent system that I have is the original Xbox. I remember that I wanted a PS2, mainly because I was slightly obsessed with Spyro the Dragon, and they didn't have any of those games on the Xbox. I now realize why, and am glad I got the Xbox.

My former stepfather's brother was a technological genius. He installed a hard drive on the Xbox with software that allowed you to upload games onto the Xbox and play them anytime. Of course, this is very illegal, but...

But back then the Xbox wasn't incredibly well-known. As far as I remember, people only really started noticing it when the Xbox 360 came out. And of course, when the 360 came out, they wouldn't make any more games for old-gen systems! So I do have an Xbox 360, but it is filled with games that I've already won several times- or games that just suck.

But it's not a complete piece of junk. You can rip DVD's to it too, although it sometimes doesn't work correctly. Sometimes you get the raw files, and you have to test out which files are the version of the movie that you want.

This was around 2005(?), and he also put some good games and movies on it himself. One of them was the original version of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Now, I'm sure you have seen the modernized version. I hate the modernized version.

So now I will go through the history of "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy"

"The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" began as a radio show. It was witty, with very bizzare humor and an entirely different outlook on life, the universe, and everything(42!!!!). It was very popular. I have never personally heard them, but I would like to be able to somehow acquire a recording...

Soon after, Douglas Adams wrote the so-called "trilogy" that eventually ended up consisting of five books. This is a list of them.

*The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
*The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe
*Life, The Universe, And Everything
*So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish
*Mostly Harmless

Apparently, there was to be a sixth book in the increasingly inaccurately-named series, entitled "The Salmon Of Doubt", but, when Adams died of a heart attack at the age of 49, it became fairly apparent that the series was finally over. I haven't read all of these books either, but I am currently on "Life, The Universe, And Everything." I should be reading that right now instead of posting on my blog.

In 1981, one year after "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe", a TV mini-series appeared. There were six episodes, each 35 minutes long. Some versions have seven episodes, each 30 minutes long too. Since the other books hadn't been released, nobody knew what came afterwards, so the movie ends at a part where, in fact, is quite important in the book- Arthur and Ford stuck on a prehistoric Earth, walking away from the stubborn Golgafrinchans, after learning the ultimate question to life, the universe, and everything. This is the series on my Xbox.

Eventually, after a few more radio broadcasts, a 2004 film was able to be shot. I think this film has many good parts, such as the musical part, "So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish". Overall though, in terms of leaving things out of the story, I believe that this movie was terrible. In my opinion, if you are going to tell the story, you might as well tell the entire story, right? I'm not saying I hated the movie, but after seeing all of the episodes of it, it made me realize how much of it was left out. The Series by Douglas Adams was truly amazing, and very funny too. Nothing should be left out of it.

So that's "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy". Hope I didn't bore you too badly.
