Bad Company 2 is so BAD!

With MW2 coming out in November, it's kinda of overshadowing some other potential shooters that look like they might be fun. I've already given some attention to Operation Flashpoint 2 which is dropping in October which looks to be like a fun open battlefield type of game but the masters of huge battlefield action DICE have released some multiplayer footy of upcoming Bad Company 2 which is looking to be amazing!





Its amazing how good they make these games look on an aging console, too bad its not for PC. I never got into Bad Company cause, well, I never really played FPS online w/ a console but this time I might give it a shot, it's not like there's a nice selection of FPS coming out for PC anytime soon. Here's to hoping BF3 comes out next year!

Blast from the Past!

Decided to post my ancient Senior Project Video. I don't know what's aged worse, me or my first PC build. Geez, the specs on that rig were:

AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1.67GHz CPU
512MB DDR400
MSI or Biostar budget board
GeForce Ti4200 128MB
Pair of Optical drives, floppy, 40GB HDD and a huge ass 17" CRT.

Boy could it run CS, DOD, and MOHAA. Oh and of course I forgot to buy necessary cables and even the OS. I had to load a copy of Win 98 for about a week until I had enough for a legit copy of XP. Good times, now wtf happened in-between now and then!

Saturday...?

A flurry of console news came out this week in preparation for some Christmas time madness. MS is releasing 250GB HD 360's in a bundled Modern Warfare 2 or Forza 3 pack for $399 and the Wii has dropped in line at $199. I remember paying $500 for an Elite (which has died on me 3 times compared to my 1st gen 360 which is still rock solid going on 3 years now...), so to those who were looking to upgrade to an HDMI 360, if you dont somehow have one yet, this would be a pretty good option. Although I don't really see the need of having a 250GB HD, wtf do people do, download absolutely everything from Live and store their music on it too? Oh, and I can't believe MS didn't package a 250GB w/ their ODST bundle, I guess they have to get rid of all those 120GB Elite's somehow right?

B to the Z

I've been so busy, no joke/lie. For the past 4 weeks or so people have been pouring into the little PC shop I work in, making everyday a grind. Although it's got me working pretty much non-stop all day, I can' say that I'm not enjoying the rush of fixing PC's one after another, it makes the day go by so fast and I enjoy my job. Jason and I have also revived our Justin.tv channel somewhat as you guys might've noticed from the previous blog posts, we've hit our first landmark badge of having 250+ fans, the MGS-a-thon was our first marathon and hopefully not the last, but it does take a toll on the body/mind playing nonstop like that.

In other happenings, I finally beat FF7 last week and feel like I can finally tuck that game in it's corner without any regrets. As far as new games go, we're still waiting for the NVG's, I mean Modern Warfare 2 to drop. I've been eyeing Operation Flashpoint 2 but to be honest I haven't played on my PC in over two weeks so... Other than that, keep an eye on our Justin.tv channel, we're usually casting prett much everyday now. Im going through FF8 while Jason is playing the classic Earthbound whenever he's not on FFXI.

GOAL ACCOMPLISHED and then some

We succeeded in obtaining the 250 favorited badge. The marathon RJ and I held, Metal Gear Solid Series 1-4, was a big hit. We gained many favorites, many friends, many mods, and reached the number 1 spot under the Gaming tab. Fuck yes.

The marathon was nonstop, RJ and I did shifts. The marathon started on the 11th, Friday, at 5:00PM PST and ended on the 14th, Monday, at 5:00AM PST.

250+ Fans Here We Come >(

We're on our way to 250+ fans on Justin.tv! Now is not the time to celebrate because we still need more to hit that mark and get our badge. Last night we had 149 fans, we gained around 5 new fans from RJ's playthrough on FFVII. I stayed up the whole night doing my 1st playthrough with Resident Evil 1. We averaged at 50 viewers and were on the third spot in the first page under GAMING. I still haven't beaten the game but I plan to end it tonight. I checked our fan number and HOLY SHIT it has leaped up a great amount. We now have 174 fans!

Anyways, come join us at Justin.tv and watch us play whatever. By the way Resident Evil isn't scary. DONT FORGET TO FAV! >(

halo would be a pretty dope movie

just watch this live action trailer for the new halo3 odst game

Jason's Nightmare

So today I woke up almost falling off the couch from an INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE nightmare. It's weird because I haven't had a nightmare, to my knowledge, in a very long time. Also being that it was so scary to make me jump.

Anyways the dream started off with me being at a water theme park, shit was siiiiick! The park had a long wild river where you just ride the current without any tubes or safety equipment. On the walls were plasma screens playing something but I didn't take a look, or forgot. After the crazy fantastic ride I walked around the exit till somehow I wandered into and through bushes until I came upon a bare spot surrounded with bushes. I then noticed the place was filled with snakes, and my worst fear happens to be getting bitten by a poisonous snake, with no way out. There was a tree next to me that also had snakes in it hanging from the branches so I layed on the ground. SUDDENLY! A snake dropped from the tree and fell next to me and slithered its way onto my back. I was stone scared, I tried to calm my breathing and stay as silent as I could. I had thought it bit me already but I didn't feel anything and I prayed that if it did I would die a painless death. So there I waited to die, literally, until I heard a snap and I thought it was a person so I bolted up. This is when I woke up, I bolted up through my nightmare into the real world. I sat there and realized it was a dream. Then I said "Shit..."

THE END

I'm not superstitious so I don't think the nightmare means anything, and all I ate late last night was half a bag of gummie bears so I'm not sure that caused it. I guess it's just because I hadn't had a scary dream in a very long time.
