Ive had the site since April, and I was curious to see what my top ten blogs were. So I went into my Google Analytics records and checked it out. I love using Google Analytics, and its so much easier than trying to read the reports from Blue Host. I knew two of the posts would be up there, but others were quite a surprise.

1.Explanation of Combat Arts in Sacred 2

This came as no surprise. I knew from looking at other reports that this was my most popular post. I think I did a search to see why, and there is some combination you could put in about Sacred 2 and combat arts that landed me on page one on google.

2. Whale Wars Sucks

This also was not a big surprise, and was the post that had the most random comments. If you google the term whale wars sucks, I come up at number four, which is awesome. Man, I hate that show…

3. My Shadow Warrior Character Build Guide

Another post I knew was very popular. I had made a build guide for the Shadow Warrior in Sacred 2, who seems to be the most popular character to play as. Thus, this was a pretty big hit on my blog.

4. My Announcement of Future Character Builds in Sacred 2

For some reason, a post about what I intended to do in the future made it to my number four most popular post. It doesnt really do much but say “hey, pretty soon I will start making some character build guides.”

5. Axis & Allies 50th Anniversary Edition

This one was a surprise. I didnt even play the game…I just commented on how cool it looks and how much I would love to play it. Man, I need to get some nerd friends up here to play a game of A&A…

6. Resistance: Gathering Storm Book Review

This one was also a surprise. I dont know how it got on here, but my little review of a fairly unpopular book (as far as I can tell) made it to #6 on my blog. Bravo Resistance. Bravo.

7. My Guess At an NHL Announcement

This post makes me laugh. In July the NHL announced that it would make a major announcement at Fenway Park. Common sense told me that that would be the location of the 2010 Winter Classic, and I indeed was correct in my guess. The best part is that this post did not get popular until December, when the Winter Classic was approaching.

8. Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo Review

This only cracks me up because my review of the demo is more popular than my first impressions of the full game… Hmmm, I just realized that I never wrote up a full review of the game…

9.  Wolverine Game Review

This came as a complete surprise. I didnt notice that my review of the Wolverine game was this high up on my blog.

10. My High Elf Character Build Guide

I thought this one was going to be more popular. Its my build guide for the High Elf in Sacred 2.

So there you have it, my top 10 most popular posts. Thanks for looking, and I look forward to seeing how it changes in the coming months.

Feeling Under the Weather

I went to bed last night feeling pretty lousy. I had a headache, was lightheaded, my throat was sore, and I had a pretty bad stomach ache. I didnt eat much of my dinner, and went to bed without dessert. This morning I awoke, and I was still feeling very lightheaded. So I ended up staying home and missing class.

I started my sick day by waking up sweating at 5:45, and not being able to fall back asleep. So I went out to the living room and laid down awake on the couch until 6:30, when Shell woke up. I ended up skipping breakfast, only eating some fruit. I played Resistance 2 for about an hour or so, and then spent the remainder of the morning watching the almost three hour movie Patton, about the U.S. WWII general.

aa50anniversaryed-thumb-400x300I want this pretty bad. Ive been a fan of A&A for a long time, and have an old version of the game. I love it because its so much more indepth than Risk. I mean, you have troops, tanks, fighter jets, bombers, subs, battleships…the list goes on and on.

For those who arent familar, A&A is a WWII board game. The original game allows up to five players; three for the Allies (USA, England, and Russia) and two for the Axis (Germany and Japan). You then use the territories under your control to build up your military and attack the other team.
