Wow, it's been awhile...

    Yeah, I know it's been like forever since I've been on my blog. For those of you who are following my walkthroughs and guides on YouTube, you should know that I haven't posted that many videos lately. That's mainly because I've been so busy and just not "inspired" or in the awe-exalted "video-making-mood." Because in the "video-making-mood," it's like magic! I (and other walkthrough-makers) just start making a bunch of videos and then I upload them.
    I don't really know how many people really read or "follow" my blog, but I have heard from a few people that they read and "follow" every post on here. So, hopefully this continues. I don't ever, and have never, really posted many posts on here. But, I'm going to try and post every once in while and let your guys know what's going on. Well, bye for now!

Another Update:

Guys, I have been very busy and tired from school. So, I haven't even been on youtube in a while, I haven't even been playing any video games either. I have had a lot of studying to do, so yeah, I've been busy. But I am going to do a few videos of Going Commando this upcoming (three-day) weekend. So, you guys can look forward to that!

Here's an Update: I am going to be doing a lot of guides, but by time October ends, I hope to have most or all of my four planned walkthroughs done! After I'm done with those four planned walkthroughs, I will be doing a lot of all kinds of guides! It will be something to watch. Keep updated with me! Thanks!

Latest Update:

 Hey Guys! I have been doing a lot of thinking (Cause I haven't been doing videos, so I had to of been doing something lol) and I am NOT going to retire from YouTube once I start High School, which is in three weeks and one day! I was planning to retire, but I am going to finish my old projects, that I've been planning for months and months now, in the rest of my summer. Then, sometime during the school year, I'm going to do all kinds of new projects!
  Here's what's going to happen, I have three weeks and one day left of summer break. So, I am going to try and finish or at least almost finish my old projects (R&C 1, R&C: Up Your Arsenal, J&D: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, etc.), then sometime during the school year I am going to make new projects!! Now, some may not be walkthroughs or guides, some may be game vlogs or big reviews on the latest games. But, I am going to still do stuff that is game related, actually everything that I will do will still be game related, so don't fret.
   My friends and I are going to do a bunch of stuff, along with my cousin (RCNetwork12). Here is a list of some possible things we've thought of doing (Comment below and give us some feedback): Left 4 Dead 2 Game Review, God of War Game Collection Overview, R&C: Group Collection Game Guides, Game Collection Reviews & Thoughts/Comments, HALO Trilogy Review, HALO 4 Overview, and HALO 2 sniper Fusion Game Guide (Will Be Done By My Cousin (RCNetwork12).

What is Coming Up:

    I know I haven't posted in forever, but I'm working on updating my blog a little more frequently. Anyway, a lot is going to be happening this summer (the rest of July and all of August), so I'm gonna lay it all out on the table for you guys! First, videos and projects will be unscreened, and the ones that aren't done will be completed, then unscreened. Second, 100th video special is coming up very, very soon, so get ready for that! Third, I have something very special planned for you guys, I can't tell you what it is, but it will be coming within the next three weeks! Lastly, my RCNetwork Email Newsletter that I did for like three weeks has been officially canceled and will not be created/written anymore.
    So, I hope you guys are prepared and ready! Hopefully by the end of this summer, I will be able to do what has been planned since the last blog post (before this one).
    By the way, the main reason why I haven't barely posted is because I can never think of anything good to blog about, but my friends have recently given me some good ideas. So, I will be (hopefully) blogging a lot more frequently.

The End is Near...

You guys have watched me rise from a new nobody on youtube to a rising pro-walkthrougher/walkthrough maker! Now, my time on youtube is coming to an end soon, I have one month left of school, then a two month vacation, then it's High School! On the last month of my vacation, I will say my farewell and make my final project. Don't miss it!

Where Are You, RCNetwork10??

Question: Where the freakin' heck are you and why is it taking you so long to post new videos?
Answer: First of all I will address the question, "Where are you?" I am lost, I am seeking help from senior walkthroughers. I don't know what to do, I have eight months until I start High School, I am not doing videos after I start High school. In plain text, I am retiring from youtube and walkthroughing/walkthrough making once I start High School. So, I want to get more friends, more subscribers, more fans, and I want to get all of my scheduled projects/walkthroughs/guides finished before I retire. So, I need to get my TV in a private room, instead of in the living room where I can barely ever make videos, so that it won't take me years to complete all of my planned projects/walkthroughs/guides. So, I am saving for it, but it might take me a while, so I don't know what to do! That's my situation at the moment. You will notice that my youtube channel is kinda dull at this point in time. AKA: There's no new videos and there hasn't been since before Christmas. So, yeah, that's it.
P.S. Please don't unsubscribe or delete me or lose interest, just await my comeback. It will be awesome!

 A: Yes

 Well, that's it for this 'Up Close and Personal' Blog.

The Jak and Daxter Game Series

  The Jak and Daxter game series is awesome and provides excellent gameplay! It is one of my favorite game series along with Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper. Here's a little information about each game.

  The Precursor Legacy has awesome gameplay and a great story! The story is one thing that I fell in love with right away! The story: While exploring some ancient ruins on a forbidden island off the coast, Jak's best friend, Daxter, is knocked into a vat of Dark Eco--a terrifying and deadly substance that could corrupt the world forever--transforming him into a weasel-like rodent.
The village sage, Samos Hagai, tells Jak that there's only one person who holds the secrets to transforming Daxter back. Now the pair must set out on a quest in search of a wise old sage who has the power to restore Daxter to his former self.



   Jak II is an epic game in my opinion! It has epic music, epic gameplay, and an epic story! As well as The Precursor Legacy! The Story: In this darker themed follow-up to Jak and Daxter, hero Jak tries to control the dark eco injected into his system and, with his sidekick Daxter, attempts to thwart the tyrannical powers ruining Haven City. Players earn the chance to wield four heavy-duty weapons, they can jack any vehicle in the GTA-inspired city, and they have a chance to use a jetboard to navigate special platform levels, a la Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Players explore a massive city on foot or by using a surfeit of hovering vehicles. There are also mini-games, such as races and skateparks to venture through, and many intriguing characters to experience.

  Jak 3 is even more epic than Jak II, and as far as I'm concerned, it's awesome and action-packed! It's an awesome game! The Story: Jak and his faithful companion Daxter are exiled to the unforgiving wasteland, where survival of the fittest is the law of the land. But deadly lands and dangerous creatures are only the beginning. Soon, the worst nightmare imaginable finds Jak's world, threatening to annihilate all life with eternal darkness...
The third and final chapter of the Jak & Daxter series concludes the epic trilogy in an exciting new open world that stretches from the farthest reaches of the wasteland to the strife-torn heart of the city. New and improved vehicles will allow the duo to traverse this vast land, and new weapons and powers will allow Jak to defeat this world's more deadly foes as he battles to save civilization from itself, and perhaps discover the truth behind the Precursor mystery.

   This game differs from The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, and Jak 3. But it is a fun game! The Story: The story of JAK X weaves together several different plots that began in the previous games. Krew, a villain from JAK II, is dead, and Jak and Dexter are asked to attend the reading of his will along with Sig, Ashelin, Krew's daughter Rayn, and others. One of Krew's requests is that everyone drink a toast in his honor; however, the wine is poisoned The rest of Krew's instructions are then revealed: if any of the characters can win the Kras City Grand Championship in his name, they will be given the antidote. With no choice in the matter, the group enters the race, but soon, each is vying to win no matter what. The game features four different cups consisting of 20 challenges each, plus a large number of unlockable extras like more tracks, car upgrades, new racers, and more. Different weapons and abilities are available on each track, allowing players to fire lasers and create oil slicks to stop their opponents. JAK X: COMBAT RACING will keep players on their toes as they attempt to win the race and the antidote.

  Basically this is Jak 4, but Naughty Dog decided to name it The Lost Frontier instead. I think this game is amazing! The Story: Jak and his sidekick, Daxter, begin the game escorting Keira on her journey to become a Sage. After an encounter with Captain Phoenix, an eco-seeking Sky Pirate, Jak crash-lands and sets off in search of eco with which to repair his Hellcat. After a successful take-off, Jak must fight off Sky Pirates attacking the ACS Behemoth, which is owned by Duke Skyheed of Aeropa. Jak is given an instrument called the Eco Seeker. He is unable to power it because the excess Dark Eco in the area prevents him from using his own eco powers, but Keira is granted permission to study it for a week if Jak proves himself in the Danger course. Daxter also escapes from the underground of Aeropa, but not unscathed: tainted further by Dark Eco, he is now black, spiky and in no mood for soft underpants.

The Ratchet and Clank Game Series

                              The 'Old-Time' Games:

  The 'Old-Time' Ratchet and Clank games are probably my favorite games! Along with the Future games. They are original and very fun! Most have the same character and feel to them, if you know what I mean. This is an interesting fact for you guys, the first Ratchet and Clank game that I ever played and bought that introduced me to the series was 'Up Your Arsenal.' Another interesting fact: the first series that I found out of Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Sly Cooper was Ratchet and Clank! Then, Ratchet and Clank lead me to another awesome series, Jak and Daxter, then I found Sly Cooper a couple of years later!

  The second game (Going Commando), siding the first Ratchet and Clank, is the most original game in the series! It includes original gadgets and weapons, as well as original planets/levels. One of the main things I like about Going Commando is the adventurousness in the game, the kind of adventurousness that makes you want to play the game! You see the same kind of adventurousness again in Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction! The Story: A thief steals a top secret experiment from Megacorp, then Mr. Fizzwidget, the CRO of MegaCorp, hires Ratchet and Clank to track down the thief and retrieve "The Experiment." They soon discover a lie behind 'The Experiment."     

  I was very impressed with Up Your Arsenal, it strayed a little from 'original' though. But there were a lot of advancements, and as you know it was the first Ratchet and Clank game that I ever played and ever bought. It introduced me to the series, that ought to say something about Up Your Arsenal if I fell in love with this series after playing Up Your Arsenal (UYA). The Story: Ratchet and Clank return to planet Veldin, (the setting of the original Ratchet & Clank) where they've been called upon by the president of the galaxy to stop Dr. Nefarious as he plots to exterminate all organic life. Together with the Q-Force and Captain Qwark, Ratchet and Clank set off on another intergalactic quest to uncover the schemes of the sinister Dr. Nefarious and save the galaxy!                                         

   
  Ratchet: Deadlocked has awesome gameplay! The feel to the game is like no other, the weapons and gadgets are the same! Like no other! This game provides awesome action-packed level and awesome gamplay! This game will keep your heart pumping as you blast through action-packed levels! I recommend buying this game! You won't regret it! The Story: In Ratchet: Deadlocked, Ratchet and Clank are captured and forced to compete in a underground combat sport ran by deranged media mogul named Gleeman Vox. They have to compete for their lives against a gang of deadly Exterminators! Now they have to try to brake out and escape before they end up killed, or worse!      


  At first I wasn't that impressed with Size Matters, but I soon adjusted to it and found that it was an awesome game! It uses some 'originality' from the first two Ratchet and Clank games. Such as some of the weapons and gadgets that is included in the game. It also has an action-packed story! The Story: While on a much needed vacation, Ratchet and Clank’s rest and relaxation time is suddenly cut short as they soon find themselves lured into a mysterious quest. Following the trail of a kidnapped girl, Ratchet and Clank rediscover a forgotten race of genius inventors known as the Technomites. They soon uncover a plot more dangerous than they could have imagined.


  Secret Agent Clank changes the way most people think about the Ratchet and Clank series, a lot changed in this game. Mostly because it was developed by High Impact Games and not the series creator Insomniac Games. Because both Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank were developed by High Impact Games, they both have the same feel to them. The Story: Secret Agent Clank focuses -- for the first time in the series -- on the adventures of the beloved robot sidekick Clank and his secret alter-ego, Secret Agent Clank. Set after Size Matters, but before the events of Tools of Destruction, the premise behind Secret Agent Clank surrounds Ratchet as he's framed for a crime that he didn't commit. Unfortunately for the hero, the trial is skewed against him, and all indications point to him being found guilty. To save his friend, Clank dons the tuxedo and equipment of his favorite alter ego, Secret Agent Clank, and investigates who's behind the accusations.
                                                 The Future Games:

   I love the gameplay and feel to 'Tools of Destruction!' It's the first game to the new era for Ratchet and Clank, Ratchet and Clank Future! The story is action-packed too! The Story: Ratchet & Clank must embark on an galactic adventure to find an ancient device that is the key to preventing the return of an ancient, evil race of interdimensional aliens called the Cragmites. To make matters worse, for some unknown reason Cragmites hate Lombaxes of which Ratchet is the sole living survivor. Once again, Ratchet & Clank must not only save the galaxy from annihilation, but unravel the mystery of Ratchet’s origin as well. The latest Ratchet & Clank has new characters, new weapons, and all-new worlds for Ratchet & Clank to explore.

  The Story: The swashbuckling action in Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty begins one year following the intense ending in Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Ratchet’s desperate search for Clank resumes with a bang as he finds himself engulfed in ship-board combat -- only to be cast adrift and washed up on the shores of a remote island on the planet Merdegraw. Our Lombax hero must overcome life-threatening challenges, encounter hostile new alien races and even form an allegiance with dreaded Captain Slag’s first mate, Rusty Pete. All in the pursuit of clues that lead Ratchet to the treasure of Captain Angstrom Darkwater, Slag's former commander and keeper of the only known link to the mysterious Zoni: the Fulcrum Star.

   The Story: Concluding the events that began in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time will answer some of the franchise fans’ biggest questions. After discovering that lovable robot Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, the Wrench-swinging Ratchet races to save his best friend. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they’ll have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank’s destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe’s greatest duo to separate for good?
