still freaking out

ds coll3ection

Packed this up yesterday my entire ds game collection and my n64 games too.

No place to move to yet no money to move with. So scared, I don't wanna die. And then I probably won't be able to move till August even though my wife will move endish of June. I don't know how to be without her.

n64 games

then the wife packed my game cube and xbox games, So I am left with only current gen games to play i guess.

Wii fit is fun but the DDR nock off portion is kinda hard, cause i don't have much room infront of my tv

Holy life changing event batman

AHHHHHHH my life as a I know it is over.

Not necessarily in a bad way though. My wife just got promoted to a real managerial position. Not just some department manager thing but an actual hiring firing manager. So freaking scary because the story that she will be working in is clear across the state. Like 300 mile drive away. Freaking A man it's a good thing but Yeah I get to total uproot my life and move, and try to transfer though I'm not sure I will be able to. And chances are I will never get to see my only IRL friend again after the news, but who knows. Holy crap Holy crap, I am so scared, so frustrated that I can't just be so happy for her. I'm so worried how do we come up withe First, Last, and Deposit. AHHHHHH help scared. Will be posting some stuff on Fur affinity tomorrow. Oka, gotta drive Talor home now so TTFN.

wassup

Blog 5/16/8

FFCC my life as king does seem to be a good game and although I am a little annoyed at having to shell out another 8 dollars to unlock the rest of the races that make Crystal Chronicles, Crystal Chronicles it still seems to be a good value. I like it, it has just about the right ammount of learning curve, but a preview of the as of yet locked buildings would be nice so that I could plan my city better. As it is I seem to have waisted 2 squares of building area on the assumption that eventually there would be a building that was deep, instead of wide. It seems I was wrong.

My new harddrive arrived and my harddrive enclosure to be there by the time I get home from work, so I plan to install that tonight and will hopefully post on how it goes.

Ranked 5th

Well I beat the 6th ranked HOlly Summers, in "no more heroes", then I quickly got to rank 5 following the death of Letz Shake. Now I'm so short on funds that it is going to take allllong time to earn the money for the next fight.

Got the Tsubaki II just before the rank 5 fight. Wholly cow that was a bad Idea. Until the gym opens up after the rank 5 fight Travis can barely handle the sword.

Just FYI "No More Heroes" is on sale this week at Circuit City for 20 dollars so go get it if you don't already own it.

In PS3 news I just ordered a new 160 GB hdd from Mwave.com. For just up dollars including 2 day shipping. They also had a hard drive enclosure for only ten dollars plus shipping so I can still use the old 60 gig drive for storing music. Oooh I just realized something cool It might work with the usb port on the car stereo.

PS3 Bonus Round: Fredmeyers had an extra 20% off of electronic clearance and so I picked up Stranglehold Collector's Edition for the PS3, which includes the movie Hardboiled, for only ? $20. This better be good Wesker I only bought it on your suggestion.

Okay that is a lie I seriously do have severe problem with spending money. I mean I live with depression, but I do get this incredible exhilaration when I buy something. Really the only thing that mitigates the need to purchase is being with my wife. Thank heavens for small favors. Like I said a few weeks ago, fell off the wagon. Trying to get back on, but I'm a little stressed. Seems like the car is having trouble starting. Definitely something in the ignition system or the main solenoid. Ohh well hope I can fix it soon, payday is tomorrow.

Product Review: Sony Controller glove W/ charge cable

More news from the bargain bin. For some reason Wal-Mart has clearanced this product down to $5.00.

Which is a good thing because Sony should be shot for their included charge cable. Those evil minded Sony suckers gave us what a 5 maybe 6 foot cord. Seriously I cannot emphasize enough how frustrated that cord makes me.

Well good news check the clearance isle because this kit is loaded with a much more manageable 10 foot cable. That was worth the five dollars right there. Seems to be good quality. I give this cable a 9.5 out of 10.

The controller grip on the other hand is a different story It fits well but it feels very flimsy. Much thinner than any other controller glove I have used.

The package advertises the glove as color changing but really it just lightens up a bit, and really only where you are touching it, it doesn't spread at all. At first I didn't think it was changing at all. That much said it does add a small ammount of comfort during extended play sessions, lasting more than 5 hours. The best thing about it is that it helps me differentiate my dual shock3 from my Six-Axis.

All in all this product bundle, while useful, is really a slap in the face from Sony. If they would simply include a longer cord in the first place, and sell more than one color of controller, this product would be completely redundant. Way to rip us off Sony.

Video Blog 13

FIrsrly I don't know why the video went wonky but it seems to clear up prett quick.

[video=JnQ6kmPw5b0Puz7e]

I'm not sure if this real deserved the mature content warning but I say poop a lot in this blog. And no I am not trying to clean that up I mean litterally I say poop.

I hope you enjoy the video. Tomorrow I will be posting another product review.

Product Review: iGo Bluetooth stowaway keyboard.


Ahhhh Tuesday Mornings, home of the deal. Tuesday Mornings is a close out/overstock store, like Biglots but on a smaller scale. That's where I picked up the iGO Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard that I am both reviewing and using to type this blog and the last.

theproduct

The iGo Stowaway Keyboard is truthfully made to be used with pocket PCs, palms, and mobile phones. I don't think that the PS3 was ever on their agenda. But guess what It's a Bluetooth keyboard so it works just fine. The "special" buttons don't work but truthfully they don't work on the devices that it was designed for without additional drivers.

I picked this up for $40 and was pleasantly surprised to find that it worked out of the box with the PS3 with no real problems.

Things about this product that are good.

+The price

+The size, it is compact, and portable, when collapsed it fits in a case smaller than a BlueRay case. But the keys are still full size and make for easy typing.

+Runs on 2 AAA batteries

Things that are bad about this product:

-The size, it's compact so number keys are all accessed by using a "Fn" key. Also It does not fit well on my lap as it tends to fall through.

-Runs on 2 AAA batteries, built in Lithium Ion would have been better.

-poor documentation, and as a result it was kinda hard to pair the first time.

I guess what I am trying to say is that if you can also find this on "clearance" then it is a great deal for the PS3 user.

Product Review: Intec Cooling Station and Controller Cradles, For the xbox 360

As you may or may not remember, I already have a cooling station. It is a one fan, usb powered job, that frankly looks and feels cheap. Hence my motivation to buy this new model.

I like this cooling station much more.

product

I picked up the Intec Cooling Station and controller cradles for 12 dollars. No I don't remember were I found it for this price, sorry. It feels well constructed and actually feels like it adds stability to the 360. It sports 2 fans, running lights, and is powered by your regular outlet. I have decided this is preferable to a usb powered model for the following reasons: an outlet powered model supports more, and more powerful fans than a usb powered model, and it keeps the 360's usb ports open for data connectivity.

it glows

I do have one negative complaint about this product. The On/Off switch is situated one the back of the unity by the power plug. Quite annoying to reach.

The controller cradles are free standing, which is an interesting feature. It makes it fun to display your controllers, but since they aren't attached to the fan-base, they don't really help with the problem of loosing your controllers. Or maybe I'm the only one who manages to looks a $50 controller on a regular basis.

All In all I would say this product was a very good buy at the price I paid, but I definitely would not consider this item at over 20. Ohhh yes I remember where I found it for $12 now, I purchased this item at Shopko.

Me update

Ohh those guys at ubisoft. After I beat the 3rd boss in no more heros I breezed through the 4th, awesome. Totally funny. Collected all the Lovikov balls. Got my upgrades, btw Lovikov best assasin ever. Then I get to the gimpy chick. They talk about putting you in your place, bringing you back into line. Yeah the 4th bose was a plant to lul you into a false sence of security. This gimpy, rocket "pooping" ( hey thats where it looks like they are coming from), trap laying psycho is going all upside my head. That's right I'm all sorts of stuck again.

I love this game.

Well I guess Dale, and the Wesker will have to play Mariokart without me because I'm saving up money for a trip. I get some PAID vacation in June. I'm tottally excited. With just a little luck I will be able to actually go somewhere, but the cost of gas may keep us shut down to somewhere local

Slash slash kill kill

No MOre Heros

NNOOO MOOOORE HEERoss

Nooooooooo MOooooooooore HEEEEEEErrrrrooos

Well she had been kicking my butt over and over but I finally beat the third boss. Only 7 more to go.

This third boss is so strong, She just kept killing me over and over for about 5 hours. Incase you haven't had a chance to play this game the reason this boss is so hard is she has an unblockable one hit kill move. She starts using it once her health drops to about 30% and the only way to avoid it is to dodge everytime she starts charging for a major attack. What sort of evil freaks introduces such a move so early in the game. I mean you don't even get access to the full selection of stores until after you beat her. Ubisoft you are sick freaks. It makes me LOL though when I go to the gym because they actually actually make you put in quite a bit of handwork to get your powerups.

The whole game sould use some better anti aliasing in all truth.

So I guess I must be a bit of a masochist because I really do love this game.

Ohh good lord I just noticed that I am playing 3 Tales games at the same time!
