I love My DS Lite

This is my 6th one. I have owned multiple but at some point when games, where not around that I wanted to play I would sell it for money. No more though. I am gonna keep this one and actually play it more. I just bought the newer Blue and Black one. Lucky me last one they had at Best Buy. I also picked up a few of the games I wanted. Metal Slug 7 which is really fun. Alot like Mega Man 9 how it is old school looking but completely new game. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. cause I love Castlevania. And last but not least the game I am diving into to play first is Final Fantasty 4. I will post more depth about the games I picked up after I play them A bit more.

1, 2, 3. Ding Ding Ding

If you know me, you know I love movies. I go to the movies every week to watch at least one movie in the theater. This movie that I am looking forward to is a sleeper. Mickey Rourke. I love this guy. You have to too. If you do not there must be something wrong in your head. Anways here is a trailer for his new movie The Wrestler.

Hi, from TF2!

Never say Never

Yeah I gave in, so what. Big deal. Whooptie do. Wanna fight about? I did not think so.

I guess I can never truly get away from WoW. I also think it is in large part to well all my friends do, so what am I gonna play? There was some Guild Wars which I still kinda play, that game is great. In between leveling I still play alot of Team Fortress 2. I love that game. From that bit of information I hope you can tell even though I am playing again for once I can moderate my own fun. By not being tied to one game and not wanting to do anything else. All in all I suppose it is good to be back to the norm per se without having urges to do things you do nt want. Instead give in to them, just moderate them. That is the key to......fun.

Cool Story.

WoW Nellie!

So why is it all of the sudden a few weeks after getting rid of my WoW accounts I have a sudden urge, small, but still an urge to play again. What is so great this time around that I have to play?
I still have trouble seeing how this game is so addictive, and I am not saying that like I hate it. Cause if anyone knows me they know I loved that game for the last 3 1/2 years, give or take. So what makes it great enough that I cannot just drop it like any other game in the world?

I play other games all the time now even if I am not quite in the mood just to be playing something other than WoW. I know it sounds like if you took WoW and added Meth or something that would make alot more sense. Drugs have things in them that make you come back. What does WoW have because I played Wrath for a bit, and was not compelety satisfied. But as a videogame lover, I think games like WoW hold some certain feature that like of lets say Rockstar, that keeps you pumped and energetic to play. It is possible the fact it is an MMO, and playing with friends you know in real life, and in game taht you meet is really fun sometimes. Hell all the time. Who likes to play by themselves all the time? Not me. I of course do not mind playing solo games here and there, but all the time, with no interaction with real poeple I could not do.

Maybe it is not a bad thing to play it, just probably healthier to play alot less than what I use to. Still not saying I am playing, but if I did you would not really know cause I would be consumed but it.

The Day the Movie Stood Still

I went and saw The Day the Earth Stood Still. Now noting I saw the original along time ago and have small recollection of it. So based on that my expectations of the movie were pretty low barring this one having 21st century special effects to give it a more real feel. I think they just made the movie ok, because the originals lack of that helped add the realism of "Oh shit, this could really happen to us.", which was the original cult fixation of the movie to begin with. That is what scared people was that it seemed like the news they were watching not a movie.

*Spoilers* But all in all I thought some of Keanu Reeves was funny at times with his "Alien Talk". The little boy (Will Smith's Kid) was typical young kid with attitude towards his step mom, Jennifer Connelly. They find a way to come together and continue to prove to Keanu's character that he should not destroy humans to save earth from us. In which case he tries to find reasons to let them live and understand them.

The Gort in this movie though was pretty badass. All in all, it was a decent movie and would reccomend renting it when it is on DvD, and go pay to see something else this weekend at the Movies.

Wake up Dead

A few days in the can is not all that bad, but not really all that good either. So when I got in trouble with the law on Monday pissed the officer off by using a fake name, which I have no idea why I did that when I do not have a problem using my real name. In which case he made it a more potent charge on something petty, which obviously was dropped from serious to petty in court. Lead to my release and three years summary probation. California will get you for anything it seems. Laym.

All in all I find it funny how everyone of my friends thought one of three things:

1. Jail
2. Up in Oceanside for some reason selling a WoW Account
3. Dead

Dead? Come on guys that is terrible. But whatever. All in all it was a fun way to spend a few days after being extremely bored. Ha.

Cords Free, Everywhere Here I Come!

So I recently bought myself a MSI Wind u100. It is a netbook. Most people are aware now that they are great for the net, some entertainment, email, and such simple stuff. But fewer know it can be a full laptop replacement. I use it to game and everything in between. Gaming is a post for another day, so here is more on wh I got this and what I got.

I went and bought the cheapest model so I could upgrade it myself for the price of the best but making it even better than the highest costing one. This is the main reason most people love the Wind over all other netbooks, it is fully customizable.


By doing so I got this for specs:

-Overclocked to 2.0ghz Intel Atom (comes underclocked at 1.4)
-2gigs of ram (comes with 1gig ram)
-320gig 7200rpm HDD (comes with 120gig 5400rpm)
-Intel Wifi N card (comes with b/g)
-9cell battery (comes with 3cell)

all those upgrades you must be thinking I spent more than $500. But I did not. In fact the spent just that. which is $70 more than the highest priced model on Mwave. So I got twice the computer for a fraction of the cost in upgrades. And now have spare parts lying around like I usually do when I am messing with computers.

So after is all said and done I got one hella of a deal on something that I can do everything on.

Guild Wars Ho!

So as much as I love MMO's. They are addicting as hell as I have come to find out and do something about recently. But one thing I noticed is that even though before WoW, I played guild Wars for almost two years, I was never confined to my computer having to play all the time. But I got the same satisfaction out of it or even more as WoW. So I have been playing alot this past week to get back into the game. Cop a feel ya know what I mean? Ha ha.

So if you play hit me up Flaak Monkey. It is my Ranger/Monk. I have been playing a Warrior/Dervish and Necro/Monk at the moment to try those out since all I played was my ranger back in the day. All classes are pretty fun. But my Ranger will still be number one PvPsauce.

The Addicition is Over...no not Meth

So for my first post of my relaunching of my blog, it will be a happy post. I have quit World of Warcraft for the last time. I know you sit there and think "Last Time?", yeah it is addicting like meth (not that I would know, lol). The best part about it to be honest is that for the first time after quitting I do not have and desire to play. See other time I would quit and soon after have a burning desire to play all the time. I think it mostly has to do with the game sucking and becoming so casual now that being hardcore WoW player means nothing. Except you may say people who Arena are how to tell and be rewarded. But I would not pay $15 a month for broken PvP.

The most important thing i gain out of this is not being confined to a computer cause of raids, pvp, etc. I can make plans at any moment which in my life that is how most are scheduled. Friends do not get mad about why you got to play all the time drop it and lets roll. I also feel great not just like another day another.. whatever.

The best part is I can play alot more games now with my friends, and by myself still, but other games than just one all the time. With that I have picked up TF2 again along with Day of Defeat Source. Thinking of trying to get better at playing RTS's but do not know which to play. C and C Red Alert is kinda fun though the few times I played it.

I dunno we will see. More time to post lifes happenings and such. It is great to be off the Drug of World of Warcraft. ... Finally!
