Might as well

Sweet baby Jesus! 2 more ppl joined the league the other day. Thanks dudes! I figured, since i started posting again, why not try and talk about relevant shit. Hmmm......guess the news is out. Cause just about everything reported is related to death, mayhem, and all around bullshit. So then we take a look at the 360 world, and we find some pretty cool stuff coming down the pipe.

If you haven't yet played the new Star Wars game, you should snappyitdy, snap to it and get to downloading. It's short, but tight. Then of course we have the next evolution in gaming history. ROCK MUTHAFUCKING BAND........TWO!! Bitches!

Yes, it's rad. Yes, it's bad. It's downright the best $$ spent on ANY game on ANY console me thinks. Jill and i have spent many a hour rocking out with our co..errr, shockin out?? Heh, heh. She knows who her Daddy is. Trust me. ;)

So if anyone ever wants to jam out, hit me up on XBL and lez doo it.

Oh and here's sum more pix.....enjoy. Yes, that's a dildo..in a claw game

And here's my baby in the room.
And oops, double post.

Furious Fretwork Time!

Harmonix brought back the sing-a-long crowd with the new Who DLC. That's something I've been missing since day 1. It actually caught me off guard when i first played "who are you". So....cool beans HX. But why so long?

Any who.....happy hump day to you all. This week is make or break @ work, so it's been a tad stressful. To say the least. At least Jill and I aren't dealing with the issues IndyMac customers are. That shit's sad. It's like 1929 all over again. Not that I'd know of course. But get ready folks.....again, i don't mean to be a pessimist, but i think things are going to get MUCH worse before any signs of improvement with the economy. I've always joked why it's called the "e-CON-omy".....seems life does have a sense of humor after all.

They say history repeats itself. I say, we're too dumb to know anything about history. But hey...at least those in the Oil industry are still going strong. Right? Didn't W say something along the lines of "America...is addicted to oil, we need to get end our oil addiction!", in one of his SOTU speeches??

Hmmm, must've been an illusion. Oh wait....this WHOLE presidency has been an illusion.

And don't even bring up the name, John McSame. Anyone with half a brain cell can see ALL TOO CLEAR what he represents this fall. So PLEASE....do both yourselves, and the rest of this country a favor and RESEARCH the candidate you're thinking of voting for. I mean, that's one of the reasons why we're in this situation. It's fine and dandy to believe in WHATEVER you want to, and to voice those beliefs when voting. But to really study the past, present, and future actions of your candidate, you must actually TAKE TIME, to learn just what it is that makes that person Presidential material. Don't go on what your friends, and family tell you alone. Take those recommendations and EXPAND your mind BEFORE casting that vote. I for one, don't believe every important issue facing our nation today is black & white. Blue or red, whatever. Today's issue's are much more complex than that. And precisely for that reason, i may lean Liberal...or i go towards the right. It just depends on the subject matter being brought up. No, i'm not the master of any these things i write here. I'm not trying to force my opinion on ANYONE. I'm just a guy who's trying to get by. And if i can help anyone with anything along the way, great. I just wish we as a country would really appreciate the freedoms afforded to us by our constitution. And stop concerning ourselves with, well....OURSELVES. We ALL have to stick up for each other folks. I may not like, or even get along with my neighbor, but I'd still HELP him when if he/she were in danger.

And let's be honest here peeps......we're in danger. Not from external sources alone....but from ourselves.

Thanks for reading, and I hope we all take stock of our world around us, open our eyes, AND hearts....and TRY to do the RIGHT thing.

I know I will.

100% on Guitar Hero III's hardest song

Every single note in "Through the Fire and the Flames"!!! Are you friggin kidding me?



Check out the finger tapping @ the beginning of the song. Unbelievable.

Multi-Touch Wall Missle Command

How cool would this be to try? (warning: high volume)

GTA IV - Move up, Ladies Trailer

GTAIV really is......

as good as the interweb hype would have you believe. I've only played STORY MODE so far. Trying to become more proficient in controlling Niko and his driving before I jump into multi-player.

I hadn't planned on hitting one of the Mid-night release stores until earlier in the evening. I was already up at my folks place around 9ish, and since the drive home takes me past 3 diff Gamestop's, I just hung out at my parents until 10:45pm, got to the Gamestop by 11pm. I was going to drive by another store right down the road, but when I saw that there was only 15-20 ppl outside, I parked and jumped in line. That's not the funny part!

Once i get to the counter and ask for the 360 version, the guy asked for my "pre-order receipt". Which I didn't have bcuz I didn't pre-order. He kinda looked down at me and said, "Midnight release is ONLY for those who PRE-ORDERED" and that they only had 3 "extra" copies to sell. I almost laughed, but instead, realized I was on the verge of losing out on the early release and said something to the effect of "If you don't sell it to me after waiting in line for an hr with a bunch of smelly, zit-faced geeks", but before i could continue he rang me up. Whew!

So far I'd say I'm at the 2hr mark......so with another 38 or so to go, yes. I haven't even cracked the game's surface. But what I have done so far is mastered the map/phone system. And fighting/shooting for the most part. Killed a couple of targets. Jacked and subsequently totaled a few cars around Queens, and Brooklyn.(Broker & Dukes)

The game comes with another one of those fold out maps. Only Liberty City seems far more massive than San Andreas did on the maps. And it contains other info about the city/game along it's edges on both sides. Pretty cool.

Full albums???

So everyone's waiting for the release of Rock Band's 1st FULL ALBUM DLC. Harmonix/MTV need to get their asses in gear. It's been over 4mths and although there's a good chunk of songs avail so far, I really expected better. Don't get me wrong, having 3 (or more) new tracks a wk to play is cool, but some of the choices have been questionable at best. I mean, if you take the time to look, you'll find countless msg boards with download "wishlist's" from ppl, and of course AC/DC and Zeppelin are always #1 & 2, but yet, Harmonix puts out 5 GRATEFUL DEAD tracks?? Meh

(edit: i just read that next week's DLC is going to be:
Next Week:

"Nevermind" (album) by Nirvana

Following Week:

"Who's Next" (album) by The Who

Heidi & Spence getting their own VIDEO GAME

OMFG.....of all things. Yep. It's being published by the power house EA, and is slated for Xmas 2009 release.

JOYSTIQ Quotes:
"Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, stars of MTV's The Hills, let slip recently that they're collaborating with EA on a video game version of their, like, totally drama-filled lives.

Not many details were spilled on what Pratt called the "top-secret" game, but he did mention to US Magazine that the game would let players work against the popular pair if they want to. "You can even torture me," Pratt said in a quote sure to excite reality-TV-haters everywhere.

Pratt expects the game to come out in two versions -- "the adult version and the one for minors" -- around Christmas 2009. And really, if you can't trust reality TV stars for your video game release dates, who can you trust?"
