Live Action Killzone: Extraction (Independent Short from pwnisher)

Nice to know other people love this game as much as I do.

Need or Want?

Need or Want?

There’s a tablet revolution out there.  From HP, Motorola to Dell, everyone has a tablet coming out. What need are they filling?  This market didn’t even exist a year ago.  Everyday people barely use the full potential of their smartphones and computers outside of maxing out their hard drives.

Computers and smartphones fill a need.  Take me for example, I’m not home much during the day and if I want to have a place for my email, web surfing and productivity applications I can’t do better than a smartphone, because it fits in my bag or pocket and I can take it anywhere.  I rarely take my notebook with me anymore.  It is just too heavy.

Email, texting, RSS reader, camera, phone, task manager, etc. A device that can send me reminders on the go and can be my “hub of information” is what I need.  I have an HTC (Android) device and I like the operating system and HTC’s hardware.  I’m very pleased. 

In comes the tablet device with a large screen that can be a Personal Information Manager (PIM).  Why would I need that?  How does that fit with my other electronics?  I have a Nook, so I can read and my phone can take care of everything else.  Would it be fun to have a tablet for my video, etc. Yes, but not enough to spend the $500 and above price.  Even HP (Palm) whom I love, is going to have to work to get my money.  I want it, but I surely don’t need it.  Not when I spend most of my time on my music player listening to podcasts and then reading on my Nook. 

I’m just trying to resist the desire to have the “new toy”.  I need a more compelling reason to get it besides, “It looks and feels cool”.

Do I need another device?

No, but I want one.

Killzone 3 - The DLC

I think I was drooling when I saw the jet packs!!

Death to the ISA!!!

Killzone 3, the new installment of the series, was released today 2.22.11 and I can’t wait to play it.

From graphics, multiplayer and immersion, no other game has this beat and I haven’t even played it.

My excitement is being tempered because of my schedule for the next few days.  I work long days which doesn’t leave much time for sleep.  For example, tonight I will pick up my collector’s edition copy and sharp shooter around 10:15pm and...

Home – 11pm

Gaming – 11:30 to 1am (that’s if I turn the game off)

Bed at 1:30am

Then I repeat Wednesday, Thursday.  Whew

Come Friday I should be ready to pounce on the multiplayer for my first 24 hours of play.  That’s important because all the weapons and abilities will be unlocked for that amount of time. Then I get reset back to normal settings (it’s a feature of the Collector’s Edition)

I want to level up and find a clan of adults to play with...fun fun fun!!

What a Lunch!!

Oh boy!

I went to lunch today and had two drinks (frozen margaritas) and because I go there often the bartender gave me and my lunch partner two shots.  Yummy.  Problem is: 

• I had two drinks already. 
• I’m at work.
• I’m a lightweight when it comes to drinking
• My head is spinning (a little)
• I wish I was in a bar in the east village.

With my head spinning, clearly it was too much for lunch.  I need to pull back.  This afternoon will be hard to get through without busting out laughing.

I brushed my teeth and have an altoid in my mouth.  Hopefully, no one will smell my breath.

I need this while I’m here at this job.  If you only knew what goes on and who sleeps with who!  

Innovative Idea for Phones

What a great idea Nokia! I hope you have patented this.

Tablet Time

I have put some thought to the tablet war going on.  Outside of the front runner (you know what that is).  I'm seriously considering going back to Palm for my tablet needs.  First question is what do I need a table for.

-  Reading Book/Magazines/Blogs
- Calendar
- Contacts
- Videos
- Apps

I'm not sure what else I'd use it for that I couldn't do with my HTC EVO 4G.  Outside of just loving technology and wanting everything I need to get a real world reason to want a tablet.

With all the video games I have to play that I have to play at home on my PS3 there's no way I have time to play on a tablet.  Don't forget I have a PSP too that I don't even turn on, but love to use when I'm traveling.  I think I have too many gadgets as it is.  Maybe it is time cool it on the gadgets.  I'm sure Suze Orman would say, "I'm denied".

February 9th I'll be checking for Palm's announcement.

Weekend is Here

Here we go again.  The weekend is here and I'm ready to get out of work and head to dinner in Union Square.
