Be Careful buying electronics this season

This is more for my less tech savvy friends who may not realized that they (or their family) is being ripped off at target, best buy or wal-mart. So let me give you some quick heads up advice.

If you are buying electronics at a retail store, don't be afraid to check your item before you leave. Open up the Ipod, xbox, or DVD player and make sure that there is one in there! Sometimes people buy electronics, fill it with junk, seal it up really well and return it the store for you to buy. It is happening more often and people working behind the counter are too dumb to understand what happened. Also, make sure the serial number on the unit matches the number on the box.

Also check the model number of your purchase. For example if you buy a Canon D10 camera and you open the box and inside is a Canon D07 (not a real camera but I'm trying to make a point here.)they look the same but are 2 very different products.

Here is an example of how you can easily get ripped off at wal-mart. The employees don't even notice that the ipod is a bootleg.

Testing how to blog

I'm trying this from my iPhone. If it works then that will mean that
I can update more often.

Busy, Busy

I have been pretty busy playing a few select games. I wish I could say Fallout and Fable are a part of the bunch but sadly they will have to wait. But I did give up on Dead Space and went into gears 2 which I found to be the "Bad Boys 2" of gaming.

Gears 2 is all about action, guns and chainsaws. If you get into playing this game and expect anything different than you are going to disappoint yourself. But, if you understand that this is a machismo fest going in you will thoroughly enjoy it. As much fun as I had playing horde mode, I dropped the game completely when Left 4 Dead released.

The funny thing about L4D is that it doesn't seem to have a story as far as I can tell. And you know what, I don't care. The game is about zombie killing action and does not even attempt to be anything more. Its fun, just pure fun. My hat goes off to Valve once more (after playing the contents of The Orange Box for the first time)and I'm looking forward to reprise my role as Gordan Freeman in their next departure.

SFIIHD Remix Looking good

I gotta say... the accompanying soundtrack really hypes this up

This weekend...

This weekend I got to spend some time with Dead Space and Midnight Club LA. I will write more later

Team Fortress 2, Saving Private Ryan

Some guy spliced TF2 with the intro to Saving Private Ryan...Simply Awesome.

Not Feeling LBP

OK, So I gave it a shot and I really dont see what the big deal is. The game has an amazing physics engine but at the end of the day its a platformer. I didnt care at all for the level creation and the online was wonky off the break. I swear I don't understand why people are hyping this game they way they are. I am convinced that the reviewers out there are being bought out. Little Big Planet is a average game at best.
