The past couple of weeks have not been in my favor but I do the best I can to stay happy. My personal distractions are the true sources to keeping me afloat. Baldan, weather, and videogames are examples of that equation. Tokyo Game Show started Thursday and Microsoft for the first time left a large foot print with Sony. PS3 continues to prove to me how much I don’t need cable television (seeing how I can stream my Netflix queue to it) and I want to eat some fruit salads and skittles right now. Speaking of fruit I want to go apple picking this weekend so that I can say I did something fun and not feel bad about it. Dead Space, BioShock and LittleBIGPlanet are hitting brick and mortar within two weeks and it’s another prime example of how the fourth quarter of every year bleeds triple A quality games… and my wallet, not to mention all the BD movies arriving. Well today is payday and it only makes me wonder how poor I will be after I pay T-mobile & Liberty Mutual. I will also think of new ways to make Baldan Über happy. --- well its not sunday as i am posting this.. and yes im pretty fuckin logw on cash now, not sure how ill survive gas heh.

Well its boring old Wednesday today, the highlight of last week was the party of epic proportions at my new place Saturday, almost everyone was there. combining Seans DJ setup with lots of lights and my PS3, HDTV, strobe light, backlight, fog machine combo alongside with hot people and booze it was a perfect lil house party, but its not full complete without the cops, which we got later on in the AM. Sunday was the day for cleaning and checking out Laurens new place in , she will be moving there in the beginning of October with her husband. Last couple of days I have been just chillin at Dunkin Donuts with my girl and stealing Wi-Fi, still waiting for Optonline to arrive (which is today). Baldan was over yesterday and I showed her Ninja Gaiden Sigma because she completed the DS version, after that I slain the second walking mountain in Shadow of the Colossus and last we watched some episodes of Trinity Blood mixed in with some hot steamy action. I of course cannot forget how I beat Portal for the fourth time within two and a half hours two days ago with Sean, destroying GlaDOS and escaping Aperture Science NEVER gets old. I also found out that Eye of Judgment Set 3 second expansion comes out this October, I plan on buying a whole booster box and most of the theme decks just like I did with Set 2, plus it will have trophies! Life with Playstation, SOCOM beta, Store updates, PAIN trophies, Rock Band update, and the useless firmware update are all features I have been unable to get due to lack of internet and it shows how much the Playstation can evolve in a short time period when connected to the network. Novastrike has gotten trophies; I might fly that flag and download it sometime. For the past month or so for everyday my job has been offering me undertime due to lack of customer coming into the queue, its difficult to avoid taking it, but for the past week and a half I have been resilient and just been staying, no matter how boring and gay things get around here. This post stinks... I’m out.

My first true attempt at a blog started at GameSpot, as emo and lame as the posts might have been, I was still able to retain the facts of my personal events that happened from time to time. I’m going to continue that trend with topics on my women, parties, and how I’m putting up with life but with a whole lot more emphasize on gaming. My first GiantBomb post will be cheap and easy one for it will mostly be taken up by a Wikipedia article outlining the history and development of this kick ass game site. Hopefully my future posts will actually be interesting. :)

Wikipedia: Jeff Gerstmann was dismissed from his position as Editorial Director at GameSpot on November 28, 2007.Immediately after his termination, rumors circulated around the Internet proclaiming that his dismissal was a result of external pressure from Eidos Interactive, the studio behind the video game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, which Gerstmann had given a Fair, or undesirable, rating along with critique. Both GameSpot and parent company CNET Networks stated that his dismissal was unrelated to the review. Ryan Davis announced his departure from GameSpot in February 2008, listing one of his reasons for leaving as Gerstmann's firing.

On February 21, 2008 it was reported that Gerstmann and GameSpot founder, Vince Broady, were working on a new video game website that would "take on GameSpot". Before Davis left GameSpot, Gerstmann had been working on the concept with several engineers who he had worked with before.In the process of coming up with the name for the website, over 70 domain names were registered. Gerstmann wanted the website name to be catchy and original, stating that there were too many video game websites with the word "Game" in it.

During their weekly podcast, Giant Bombcast, Gerstmann and Davis announced on June 3, 2008 that fellow former GameSpot editors Brad Shoemaker and Vinny Caravella have joined the editorial staff of Giant Bomb.

On July 20, 2008 the Giant Bomb Blog closed, replaced by a picture and a message teasing that the site will be "landing shortly". The full site launched shortly after midnight on the following Monday, July 21, 2008.
