So I've been testing the beta for the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and I was really impressed. Most of my likes about were based on its Aero theme because I went from XP to 7.  The beta was good, a few features were missing that I needed but aside from that solid. Recently I upgraded to the full retail version on account of I'm a member of MSDN (microsoft developers network) and boy did they fuck it up somehow. I had to turn off numerous animations for aero to look acceptable (granted I dont have the best video card in my laptop but it worked just fine on beta). The also implemented a bunch of new security features which seems more annoying then the "Cancel or Allow" thing everyone always complains about vista. Now regular system folders are blocked off to even adminstrators and to unlock them you need to go through several tabs to issue permissions. God I miss XP, but I put 4 gigs of ram into my laptop so If I were to go back I would need the 64-bit version and I hear nothing but bad things about XP's 64 bit. Well this definetly sucks!    

So after many tries of getting a podcast together I gave up, it seemed no body wanted to do one, that was untill I heard user casual_terror (aka Stuart)  was looking for help with his site/podcast. Thus I threw my hat into the ring and along with a girl named Trish we now have an awsome site and an even awomer podcast! The site is http://american-gamer.webs.com and we do news, reviews and most importantly a weekly podcast. I hope you guys like it and please send me any feedback you might have!

So before Highschool and in my first year I didnt know anyone who shared my love of games. It wasnt untill about grade 10 when I met someone (now my very good friend) Sean. He loved games as much as I did and I was pretty happy, I had someone to play and talk about games with. Now 2 years have passed and Im in my final semester of Grade 12, and have just been accepted to college for computer programming. However Sean doesnt play video games anymore, and niether do a lot of my other friends. Im pretty well back into my rutt. Just recently Ive been indulging myself in more single player focused games such as Fable 2 and Fallout 3. But I do miss playing multplayer games and such with my friends. Is this the drop-out time for most people where they stop caring about video games? Well...guess im going to go play some more fable...*sigh*

Hey everyone. I just wanted to let everyone who checks my page out that me and a few other users are gonna try a bit of podcasting, so stay tuned in the next little while cause were gonna whip up a beta. Thanks everyone!

I recently went to Fan Expo in Toronto Ontario. For those of you who've never heard of it, Its a multishow that happens once a year in Toronto. It covers Gaming, Comics, Horror, SiFi and  Anime. The gaming part is never really big but this year they had Canada's Halo Team along with some of the Best Halo 3 Clans from all over the world. Watching these guys play is impressive, When this one guy would use a Battle Rife the cross hair would never leave his head, he was perfect. But even though I watch these amazing gamers do their thing, I cant help but think to myself  "If I played as much as these guys played, I could probably be just as good." After I got was in a video game mood so I dowloaded the movie "King Of Kong" which dipects a man named Steve Wiebe attempting to gain to world record for Donkey Kong from worl Champ Billy Mitchel. Anyways after watching this I decided to check out some world high scores, below is the video of the Champ of Tetris for the nes. After watching these guys, I think to myself  "Holly shit, never in a million years...". Did the older games take more skill than the ones today? Could Billy Mitchell use his intense Donkey Kong/Pacman Skillz to own everyone in his path at Halo 3?


Watch the way he knows exactly where to make spaces in the structure so he gets tetris's non stop
