Uh oh day 5

I feel like I just commited a deadly sin right now. Chili cheese spaghetti. Is this even legal? And also, I guess people don't walk in this city cause there ain't no freakin sidewalks. Gonna check out the gamestop here and see if I don't get harrassed while doing so.

Day 3

Just figured out we have a free shuttle service so I ventured out tonight to the local Chipotle over here. I have to say, this one ain't too bad, the salsa was chunky and the burrito had more of a pinto bean flavor which was kinda new but tasty too. The classes go by so slow compared to when I was working, but we get free breakfast, lunch, and dinner so who am I to complain, I swear I think I'm gonna put on like 20lbs while I'm here. I think I'm the youngest guy here so its kinda awkward, but to be honest id rather keep to myself while I'm here and enjoy the food and a few movies while I wait it out. Dragon age comes out next week so I plan on picking that up after class. Still don't have a clue what to do this weekend but I'm sure ill think of something.

As october comes to a close I'm starting to miss my 360 with dj hero and forza 3 dropping today. I still don't know what's going to happen to my MW2 reservation either, oh well, ill just have to take care of it when I get back.

Ohio is very colorful and this place has a weird city layout since its surrounded by like 4 freeways. Mornings are much colder and darker too, the sun doesn't creep up until about 8 in the morning, but I guess that'll change nextweek with the time change. The free wifi at the hotel I'm in sucks, its filtered to hell so I can't visit any streaming sites or my fav giantbomb.com , I can't even connect to steam.

Oh well, I plan on walking around a bit more once it stops raining, until next time...

Day 1

Well this will be my home for about a month, things to do today:

Try out the local chipotle
Check for an electronics store

And so it begins...

My new job is flying me out to Ohio today for a 4 week training course. This is pretty much my first time flying, let alone being away from home for a month on my own. I plan to update the blog daily with pics or footy of my 4 week adventure. So far, so good. Next stop, Texas.

Windows 7 Whopper, Thanks...MS

1. Would you eat it?
2. Imagine walking up to the counter and asking for a Windows 7 Whopper without feeling like a total nerd.
3. Wait, Japanese people eat Burgers? Let alone a 7 patty burger?!

Sunday Shmonday

As usual, things move fast around here. I picked up Uncharted 2 earlier this week and I have to say that I am enjoying the game, probably not as much as others are, but it is a really solid action title, Naughty Dog should totally make a James Bond game, they got the whole cinematic action gameplay thing down pretty good. I'm very much looking forward to the upcoming Borderlands release on Tuesday, and Dragon Age & Forza 3 next month, not to mention Modern Warfare 2. So many games, so very little time :( . As usual, we'll probably be streaming these games as soon as we get our hands on 'em so be sure to keep an eye out on our justin.tv channel. Here's to next week!

Ahhh...nerds :)

Demon's Souls will f*ck you up.

Now that we're getting closer to the holiday season, we can finally play some new games around here. Demon's Souls for the PS3 kinda took us by surprise, but the game is fun in it's own, hardcore kind of way. Not for the feint of heart, this game will chew up lesser skilled players and only the patient will be able to stomach the pain of losing absolutely everything when you die, and have to restart the level over, and over again.

Being that Atlus developed this game, it's kinda off the walls crazy with a strange story, insane bosses, and a weird "soul" based system for leveling, items, weapons, and armor, but it all comes together pretty nicely. The major thing about this game is the feeling of accomplishment of actually gaining a "level" since any enemy in the game can kill you within a couple of hits. If you're into RPG's and are into one-shot kill kinda games, you might want to try this one out.

Happy Columbus Day

Fire

Here is a small sample I made w/ Beaterator for the PSP. Game reminds me of MTV Music Generator, but way better and w/o Funk Master Flex.

Got a PC Club build in today, its weird how they just picked up and left the AV entirely, are we not that techy around here for them?

New MW2 Trailer Worth Seeing

I hate how "sequels" for nex-gen games usually recycle the same game engine/properties as the first title. Well mainly Ubisoft stuff. So it's weird for me to be just as excited as the first release of Modern Warfare as I am with Modern Warfare 2. This trailer shows off more reasons why IW should make more FPS games (and hell, maybe something along the lines of Splinter Cell or MGS). And yes that's the mother effin' White House as a battlefield in the last part of the trailer.

Remembering A Fallen Hero...

PC GAMING IS DEAD. Or is it? Recent studies have shown that PC gaming is dead. A group of staticians at MIT went about in.....WTF am I talking about here? This is all BS. No one studied the death of PC games. Wanna know why?! Cuz no ones cares. In the past week i have come to the "shocking" conclusion that PC gaming is dead. I payed a visit to the local game retailer and found that the PC section is smaller than the used SNES peripheral section, with such games as...take a guess...World Of Warcraft. Dont get me wrong, i loves me some WoW, but im jumping to the conclusion that MMO's are what majority "PC" gamers play. What puts the nail in the coffin is this. I attend Devry University, a mainly tech focused school. Of course theres going to be a "Gamers Club". I decided to pop my head in and see if i could possiblly squirt off a few head shots before going home. To my surprise, not a single PC, let alone Mac, was in the so called game room, just the 3 main consoles. I was greatly disappointed. Its a sad day for PC gaming, with tech on the rise and some pretty cool PC games coming out, people are focusing on console games. I guess i have to spend the rest of my class listening to the announcer in Halo going "Killing Spree"....and DONT get me started on table top games. I feel bad for them Parker Brothers.

WAT!?
