Videogame Life

Being an avid Halo fan and pretty much owning every piece of legendary Halo crap you can buy, it's safe to assume I am in the running for the Halo Reach beta. I thought I would share this video I came across today showing off the Halo Reach beta that arrives this May 3rd. I must say it is looking to be an end all Halo game. Now if you'll excuse me I must change my pants.

It's always been a child hood dream to strap on a proton pack and bust some ghost. Well one guy took this dream to the closest step possible, with a mod for the Wii Ghostbusters game. I do say I want one of these!

Modder Jack Rossi took it upon himself to build the controller for the ‘Ghostbuster Wii’ game that we all dreamed about. Yup, your very own ‘Ghostbuster Proton Pack’.

The replicate ‘Ghostbuster Proton Pack’ is fully functional, even the back pack which tells the player how much power left in the pack and which player is selected in the game.

According to a couple douche bags running around on Xbox Live a mod called ThePro for Xbox Live service is running around abusing his power. They posted up a video showing him banning an account, but this video was heavily edited. Now the full unedited video is out and the verdict from me is that those little bastard needed to be punished more than what ThePro gave them.

I very much applaud the ThePro and encourage him to keep riding us of these douches. And I am sorry for the original post now that the new evidence has come to light I am more than happy to retract that article.

No posts since December! I have got to fix that. I've been engrossed in WoW and getting my computer upgraded with Windows 7 and a brand new Sapphire HD 3850 graphics card. Just doing both of those things right there has made a big difference in my 5 year old pc. It's actually running 10x faster than Xp.

I no I still haven't posted the new years pics. I really need to get a gallery up for that. I also got to finnish up on the stoa. Yeah it's open but it needs some update and posts made. I got my comics to work on as well, along with learning c++ and php. Well got to get back to some house work so I have a bit of free time later!

Well it's that time of the year again. Yup it's my birthday today, I am hoping to just take the whole day and relax and play some video games maybe a bit of wow, or possibly do some Christmas shopping. Who knows it's only 10 am so I got a nice long full day ahead of me. Well the wife and little guy went out shopping and it's me and the lil girls. So I am going to go enjoy their company for a bit! Adios for now.

Wow Novembers gone and were four  days into December. Boy does time fly when your busy, well partially. I  am a week and 2 days into this new medication for my anxiety, and let me tell you... The first five days were pure hell, and every day after has been one random side effects after another. They are toning down a bit more each day, but I don't know how people can endure the four week period on this stuff.

I don't have my beloved Xbox back yet to keep my mind and nausea at bay, and well the Wii I really don't play Mario without the wife or at least un till we beat it together. I still remember the incident with kingdom hearts, and I don't want to repeat that with Mario. Hopefully I'll have the xbox back in time for Game Night on New Years Eve! I am still meshing out food and drink ideas and the game plan.

This is already getting to be a full month for me and I am only four days in. I got a sister and cousins birthday on the eighth. And the lil sis wants me do do her cake this year, since I did my other sisters grooms cake. The We got my fathers and I birthday to celebrate on the fifteenth. A few days after that my toddler turns 3, then four more days later Christmas, and 5 more days Game Night. Talk about a month going by!

Bleh I am rambling now, I am kinda sleepless on this pill now so I thought I would share the rest of this month. I know I still got alot of web work to do and a few book ideas to get out. Well I am off for a bit of tv and maybe a bit of sleep.

Well we got our Wii finally, it is our family Christmas gift. Mom and the little guy couldn't wait to use it and set it up when I was napping. And hear I thought  I was the excited one to finally get one. This will be a nice addition to our game nights, which by the way our big one is coming up. The New Years game night. It's are biggest gaming event of the year!

I am still in the process of putting together food and drink ideas for the night, and setting up the game lineup. We do have a few new additions to the lineup. Super Mario Wii, Mario Party 8, Wii Music, Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy, and Possibly a few more by then. For this game night I plan to revamp it for next year. I want to take video and podcast it or I should say vid cast. And possibly do some things  streaming live.

With the stoa coming along nicely I can start connecting thing between the two site, and begin our media and game projects, contests and so forth.  I've got a few things to take care of  right now but I will expand a bit more on some of the things we have coming.

I don't know why but for me a beautiful day is an overcast or stormy day, I can't stand it always being sunny and cheery out. And well today is just one of those days. I am in the mood to get my fudge making going soon. I am looking into supply costs so I can figure my prices this year. As I am getting rather board without my Xbox to play with. And my blog posts are a bit dry right now. I'd like to do some game reviews but I wont have a Wii until Christmas, ans alas I don't own an PS3 yet either.

I was just getting into the new GTA side stories when the Xbox crapped out, so much for that right. Well I am off and away for now, I need to eat breakfast and get some housework done so I can focuse on a few website chores later tonight after practice with Alex.

Ahhhhhhhhh. Still no Xbox today as it died a sudden death due to the red flu. I also got a long list of house work to do today and hopefully get a workout in. Then maybe I can get some wow gaming in tonight along with site programing for the stoa. The lil ones are crawling around every where while the toddler is try his hardest to gently play games with them, he is such a sweetie!

Oh what else. I am still on the look out for a nice Wii bundle for the families big Christmas gift. Most of the bundles come with attachments that I really don't want in the hands of little children. I really don't need a broken tv or anything! I hope to see something on black friday anlong with some great deals for other gift ideas. It's a bit hard to choose things given lil guys birthday is is four days before Christmas. I always  end up having a hard time deciding what to give him for one or the other.

Well I am off to check to see what my lil girl needs.

Wow been busy this last week and this week. Started off the week with a game night. I must say these game night are getting pretty popular with our friends. Mostly we gather together cook up some food and snacks and spend the whole day gaming. And it's not just video games, there are round of magic and board games thrown in there too!

I think this years New Years game night will be a reboot, so I can start covering them a bit in the blog. Maybe some videos and pics and stats. I also  opened The Stoa for private beta, to work bugs out before the December launch. So I've been cranking things out for it. And I've started my martial arts classes this week. I am a bit sore but all is good.

All in all things seem to be getting better, my pace seem to be picking back up, and I really need to get my Christmas tree up! Well back to work!
