Wait for PS3 BioShock
Putting on flame-retardant suit… I just saw this “Review” (more like blog-comment, than a review) over on what can only seem to be a Sony/PS3 propaganda site. When you compare that sites 5/10 with the retardedly high rating the game is getting from everyone else, it’s hard to think the original poster had anything good [...]

Monday, August 6, 2007
Alright, now that E3 is over and the August-November onslaught of games is going to start any minute now, I need to start cataloging the games that you need to keep your eyes peeled for and why. These are not in a particular order: Burnout Paradise: Take the awesomeness that is burnout and amazing crashes, then [...]
Continue reading...PS3 Still Too Expensive? No way…
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
How are people still saying the PS3 is too expensive? The $100 price cut bumped the Amazon sales rank on the 60GB unit up 2800%. I don’t think people understand what they are getting with the PS3, and that’s why they think it’s “expensive”. Let’s have a look: Blu-ray Player (Currently the cheapest one is around [...]

Tuesday, July 3, 2007
I was scrolling through some PS3-game reviews on GameSpot and noticed that the PS3 releases of the XBox 360 titles are all getting high 8s and 9.0 reviews. I’m chalking this up to extra dev time and spit/polish time by the developers, but it’s certainly nice to see. Then again, when a game like Overlord comes [...]

Sunday, May 6, 2007
Saw this writeup on Slashdot, is anyone surprised that THIS is his management style, and the end result is Vista? I have to say that as soon as I used Vista and saw what 5 years of work had wrought, I freaking called it. You don’t need a degree in Asshole to know that type [...]

Wednesday, May 2, 2007
VE3D posted some of the new Halo 3 media blitz and I took a look. First I have to ask yourself: “Did I love Halo 2?”, and the answer should be “No”. Did you think Halo 2 should win any graphics awards? Gameplay awards? Level design awards? If you answer “Yes” to anything above, you may be But [...]

This work was done by Cutler Landscaping here in Tucson, took about a month. Worth every penny. Before After

Sunday, April 29, 2007
I’ve been tweaking my WD-65831 for about an hour and I think I’ve come up with a configuration that looks really good to me, no garuntees that you will like it. In fact it’s quite a bit different than some of the other one’s I’ve seen people post. Disclaimer: I always thought the defaults that this [...]

Saturday, April 21, 2007
When I think of the patent system, I think of pretty much one thing: the little guy being protected from the huge corporation wanting to rip him off for free. It’s because of this fear that I am worried the patent system may never be revised to allow free-thought and innovation that it has begun to [...]

Saturday, January 20, 2007
So we’ve been customers of Netflix for a while now and always liked the service. In fact, we bumped our plan from the 3-at-a-time to the 5-at-a-time just because we were consistently not having movies for the weekend and were getting angry about it. Now after having the 5-at-a-time for a little over a year I [...]

Saturday, January 13, 2007
Ok so now I’ve had the Wii for a while and I know my previous reviews weren’t that off the charts. So I’m just adding some more thoughts aftering using it in a few more situations. We went bowling with some friends tonight and came back to the house after. I ended up showing them the [...]

Sunday, December 31, 2006
Talk about timing… for Christmas this year I bought my mom the Canon SD700, and incredible camera. For the longest time I’ve had my Canon S400 and it has been good to me. But playing with my mom’s new SD600 this Christmas really made me want a new camera. That’s all good and well. So I break [...]
