Yeah thought this video (first half) was so full of awesome I would share it with you all. Btw, that’s not me in it… just so we’re clear.

Yeah I know I haven’t posted in a long time. Oh well, not much to say really. I have no PS3 at the moment so I can’t keep doing videos and work has got me fairly busy. However, I do want to do a contest for a few prizes soon (they aren’t much but it’s free stuff!). Prizes are:

1. Gears of War 2 Flashback Map Pack
2. 4 Xbox Live 48 Hour trials
3. 2 inFAMOUS Giga Blades codes

I’ll probably have more stuff coming in the next few months. And so for today’s post here is some gameplay from Assassin’s Creed II.

Alright, so this week was my first week working at EB Games at the store near my home. So far it’s pretty sweet actually, I don’t think I’ve really been there long enough to say that it’s the horror show that everyone makes it out to be. My manager is awesome, she’s very nice (but doesn’t play video games surprisingly). Most of the employees that currently work there are leaving so my manager was really needing people. Ummm, so I met one of the guys I’ll be working with and then there is one more (assistant manager) who I still need to meet. At the moment I’m working full time so it all depends on how many hours I can get. Read the rest of this entry »

Not sure if anyone remembers but Sony and Gamebattles partnered together for a Killzone 2 Championship tournament. Well it recently wrapped up with United Gamers being the winners. An interesting little factoid, United Gamers used to be eMazing Gaming which used to be the top ranked Killzone 2, then the padders came in and ruined the game. Anyways, here is a recap video from the game

So it’s been rumored, it’s been speculated and well it’s finally here. Gamescom has started this week and today was the Sony Press Conference. A lot of rumors were swirling around this one and in fact, most of them were correct. So what exactly happened?

• PSPgo Announcements and Deals
• PS3 Price Drop, now $299
• PS3 Slim Announced ($299)
• PS3 Firmware 3.0
• PSP “Apps” (New eReader for comics, PSP minis)

They showed a few extra trailers as well but these are the big announcements. Personally I’m quite interested in getting a new PS3 now, perhaps when I get my PS3 replaced I will. PSPgo is still going to fail because of the absurd price point. Firmware 3.0 is looking very cool, but not much for features. I would have liked to see them start tackling the areas where PSN lags behind with Xbox Live.

So I went and saw District 9 yesterday, after much worrying about if I’d be able to get in (apparently I’m 18… who would have known?). The first time I remember seeing something for District 9 was on Gametrailers.com. They had an ad running all over the sight saying “Non-humans Keep Out” or something similar. Naturally I was very curious and I checked out the website. I watched the trailer and presumed that it was the next Cloverfield film, they both share the same visual style at the very least. So over the past months I’ve been watching with eager anticipation (as have many others), and it’s finally here. I’ll try to keep this review as spoiler free as possible.

So I’m finally back up and running (for the most part) and you’ll probably notice a few things right away. One, I got a new blog design. It really shouldn’t have taken this long, but let’s face it… I’m a lazy procrastinator. So, you’ll also see that all my posts are gone. I did this cause I really want to start fresh. So, here’s hoping for more frequent posting (most likely videos) and reviews. So I suppose I’ll get started with letting y’all know what’s been up with me since last time.

Let’s see… I’m now finally finished all 13 years of public schooling. It’s a pretty sweet feeling, I mean now I can finally start going where I want to go in life. Since then I’ve been really rather bored. My PS3 got the yellow light of death so it’s been out of commission for a few weeks now. That of course makes me very bored this summer, and with no job it really sucks. Luckily though, my local EB Games is hiring and I got a job interview there. Things went really well so here’s hoping that I land a job there. After that though, I’ll be working as much as I can and then starting in January I’ll be doing Animation Mentor, it’s an online school. Yes, I know I’m gonna be a freaking troll… but really it’s my best option. I’d like to have the whole college experience, but honestly none of the colleges around me offer as near good of a program as AM. When that starts though, I’ll be getting more busy and you can see some of the cool stuff I’m working on.

So that’s about all that’s been going on. I’m hoping to maybe start a video blog since reading isn’t that entertaining (at least I find). Unfortunately I’m not sure if I’m quite ready to “expose” myself that much. Pssst! I’ll let you in on a secret, I’m a little bit insecure about how my voice (in my opinion) is a bit higher pitched then you would expect from someone who is 17-18. Who knows, it might be all in my head (that’s what some tell me). That and my life isn’t exactly that exciting. Oh.. and walkthroughs. I’m going to be getting into video game walkthroughs (HD) so look for my overdue Killzone 2 guide and inFAMOUS. Keep checking my Twitter and YouTube page for frequent updates etc.

Here we are, the end of my first post. If you have any technical issues or suggestions for my blog I’d really like to hear them. Tell your friends, love me.. you know you want to. At least love my monkey (points to the top left).
