Wasting Money

So I find my self downloading a episode of qore. Yeah what has become of me? The funny thing is I don’t even know if will be able to play my PS3 when it comes time for the Residences 2 beta. Oh well it was only 2 bucks. No big deal. I do hope I get into the Home Beta though. It be fun to finally see what that thing is really like.

Oh and after about a hour of downloading qore im only at 1% what the hell is going on? it must be PSN. see if i can't fool around with my internet.

So yeah Qore is pretty stupid. just got dont watching it. I will never buy it again.

Slow month for games(well i think so)

Vast and empty... at the moment.
Vast and empty... at the moment.

Not a lot of good games out at the moment it would seem. We have hit some what of a dry spell, but I guess that really depends on what type of game you find fun. Soul Caliber is out but I hate fighting games. Bionic Commando I think comes out next week but I’m not too sure about that one. Too Human doesn’t come out until the 20 I thought the game came out on the 15, but I guess I was wrong. I got 1000 M$ points free last night from a friend who didn’t want em so that was nice. I’m just going to save them until Bionic Commando comes out. Alas this dry moment in gaming won’t last for long and 2008 has been fairly good with games coming out consistently. September will bring The Force Unleashed and Rock band 2, I think there is a few other worth while games coming in September if I’m not mistaken.  Then October brings LittleBigPlanet at which point I hope my PS3 starts getting more use. I also read today that Wipeout HD is coming vary soon so that’s another mystery game to look forward too. So what are you playing right now? And what are you looking forward too?   


EDIT:

So i am trying to rent Shenmue II from gamefly but it has it listed as Vary Low. so i bet i wont get it. =(

Free the Iphone!

*drools*


























                       My hopes and dreams of owning an Iphone in the near future have been crushed! Apparently im few months late to the party! You see I love all Apple products and plan on my next computer being an imac or a power book. I have wanted an Iphone for a while now but do to the hefty price of admission I have always passed on the idea. I mean im crazy enough to spend 600 bucks on a PS3 but no way would I buy a phone for 600 dollars! Now that the new G3 model is out I felt I could justify a 199.99 for an Iphone. My next problem lay with AT&T. I use T-Mobile and after comparing plans I have found T-Mobile to be far superior to that which I now refer to as Nazi AT&T . It’s a rip off on all fronts! Who really gives a rat’s ass about roll over minuets when I have so many minuets on my plan now that there’s no possible way for me to go over? No text messaging with out paying extra, roaming charges (which there are none on T-mobile) it was just not worth it.  Then I found out about Jail Breaking. Basically what that means is, you buy an Iphone from the apple store with no plan from AT&T  just buy the hardware then with some custom firm wear you can unlock the Iphone to work with any service provider that uses SIM cards. Sounds great right? Well it was up until AT&T made it impossible to buy an Iphone with out also buying a plan. Both AT&T and Apple stores won’t sell you a Iphone unless you sign the 2 year agreement with AT&T first, which sucks! It’s rumored that the AT&T exclusive deal with apple will end in 2010 and Apple will open the phone up to other providers. Really in the states that’s only T-mobile because they are the only other phone company that relies on a Sim based network. In the EU on the other hand T-mobile and other phone companies support the Iphone here on the other hand we are stuck the Nazi like rule of AT&T. Oh well guess im waiting a bit longer.

What Moves You?

Boredom ensues! what type of music do you all like? here is a quick list of mine

  •  Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Are a 3 piece from NYC. They are some where along the lines of Indie Rock/Punk. Karen O the lead singer usually stubbles around stage drunk wearing crazy outfits that Bjork won’t even wear!


Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Yeah Yeah Yeahs


























  • Pixies
The Pixies are arguably the Birth parents of grunge rock. Predating Nirvana this little band from managed to inspire the likes of Nirvana, Radiohead, U2 and many many more. They're success didn't really end well tho, the band wound up all hating each other when it was all said and done. The Pixies did wind up doing a reunion tour in 2004 which sold out in about 5 mins.

  • Nine Inch Nails
One of the few bands i still like from when i was 16 years old and stupid. Trent Reznor the master mind behind NIN, has still managed to capture the sound track of my life. The good and the bad.
Nine Inch Nails

  • Queens Of The Stone Age
Call them Stoner Rock if you will, But QOTSA has managed to rise to top in the last few years of one the great Rock act of this generation thus far. Not band for group of guys who all started playing together way back in the 80's.

  • Prototypes
I don't know much about this band other then that they're French they and make some crazy music. One of They're songs was in a Ipod add on TV.  Thats how i found them.

  • Crystal Castles
Another band i really don't know too much about other then they're from Europe and use a lot of  old school 8 bit sounds in they're music. I found them through Jeff's blog way back in the day.

So there you have it. Just a few bands that came to mind. What do you love?

Mohawk baby!

I haven’t really blogged that much this week. I guess I don’t have too much to say so I will just keep this short and sweet! Last week end was fun but a bit disappointing! Stu still feeling that jet lag never got around to coming over. Me while back at the apartment I let my friend Cory shave my head back into a Mohawk. Yes I was drunk at the time, but I didn’t regret it as soon as I sobered up. I always liked having a Mohawk. Now I’m all Taxi Driver style!

            On the video game front I bought Geometry Wars 2 today. It was more of an impulse buy then anything. I really never played the first but I’m really enjoying the 2.  I just don’t understand how someone could get over 20 mill in 3 mins on dead lock. I can barley scratch 3! The game is fun fast paced and really addicting. Over all I give Geometry Wars 2 a 5/5. Next up I bought the Orange Box for the PC last week. It’s still the best value in video games right now! I really am enjoying Portal again. Even if I might know the answer to all the puzzles, the game is still fun. Plus because I have it on the PC I can download new maps from the community for free! I also finely got to sit down and start playing Team Fortress 2. Which totally fucking rules! When I played the game on the 360 it was a god damn nightmare of lag. On the PC however it’s all silky smooth. Finlay a Class based FPS done right! I enjoy playing as a heavy. Nothing better then unloading 200 rounds of ammunition from mini gun into a crowd of people! Well that’s it kids. Over the next week if I have something more interesting to say I post a blog, but until then have a good one!    

EDIT:

you know? not a single one of my friends has Geometry Wars. Which sucks! i have no high scores to compete against other then the XBL leader boards. Looking at toughs long enough makes you feel depressed....

So it is a prequel.

Ok i swear this will be the last time I bring up Watchmen for a while, but in conjunction to my last blog it would appear some of you were right! The games will be prequels. Im guessing they will take place during the Vietnam war and the spirit of 77. So yeah, maybe the games can be good. I still however remain skeptical.

:EDIT:

So the game will take place right before the kneene act in the famous police strike riot known as the spirit of 77. 

here is some much better info

Watchmen the game...

Oh boy and so it starts. Look usually im not too big of a fan boy that gets all up in arms about company's running franchises I love(The Punisher).  I just ignore it and go about my business. How ever the thought of a Watchmen game just makes me cringe like some one scraping they're fingernails against a chock board while screaming in a high pitch voice. Warner bro’s has said they want the game to be "episodic". So the first game comes out around the same time the movie does and the 2nd game comes out around the same time the DVD does. On another note the Watchmen Directors cut DVD will run 4hours and 30 minuets! It just seems destine to fail. For any one who has not read Watchmen I will break it down for you, why this game will suck. Watchmen the comic is about 95% dialog and story and about 5% action… See the problem? Ok maybe I am getting my knickers in twist here. Maybe just maybe! The game will be good?

I have a fantastic idea!

So as i sit here trying to think of more "old School" games to go and edit, my mind for the most part draws a blank! But. Then i remembered i have a stack of old EGM's and game informers from all the way back too 1995! so now im gona flip through them and try to gain some ideas of what i should go after next!

So Far So AWESOME!

So i have been playing with the site for the last hour or so and boy am i impressed. I did a little editing and adding some stuff to the site, i think its a pretty cool idea to basically make almost every page on this website like a wiki. I hope my edits go though. i added MGS2 to Oatocons Profile and uploaded some more Too Human screen shots and also added Devil May Cry to related games under Too Human, because i feel that is a pretty good way of discribing the combat in the game. well im off now to read some of my new friends blogs and post some coments! hope evry buddy is having a fun time wit the site so far!
