Finally...

Sony recently did a redesign of the Playstation 3. With the redesign they also sliced the price by about $100 dollars. I think that it looks decent enough with it's matte black and gray paneling. However, I prefer the  shiny black exterior. I haven't heard if it handles any differently but I imagine that the internal components are essentially the same. Well, mostly anyway I've seen the new PS3 at a nearby Wal-Mart with a 120 gig hard drive and haven't been able as of yet to determine if that's standard. In response Microsoft has dropped the price on all of it's different versions of the 360. 

In related news Sony is releasing a new version of the PSP in a couple months, October 1st to be exact. It looks pretty cool. Instead of having the screen, d-pad and all the other buttons all on the front of the device the PSP Go's screen slides up to reveal the thumb stick and the buttons. One problem that I've read about is that the screen is smaller. Another problem that may should have been addressed is the relatively low battery life. Will it be worth the $249 price tag? I personally don't think so.

Not what I thought

I just bought a home theater system today. I don't really think I'm as impressed with it as I thought I would be, yet. If I could go back and do it all over again I might refrain from buying it. Don't get me wrong it sounds fine but I'm just not sure that it's been worth the hassle.

Casserole in a corn tortilla

I had a couple of burritos today that were made by a company that mainly potato salads and other side dishes. They didn't taste bad really but didn't really taste like burritos. They tasted more like a casserole.

Blah

So, yeah I've been seriously slacking off when it comes to blogging. The reasons are that I'm busy with work and my gaming schedule kind of distract me from actually posting anything. There have been so many things that I've come across that I've come across that I've thought that would make a great post. I, however, just not for whatever reason allowed myself the time to post my thoughts.

One of the things that I overheard a few months ago that I thought was a little funny was when I  was in the electronics section of a nearby Wal-Mart. What I over heard was a man was ranting on against Sony and Microsoft. He was basically saying that neither of them had a current gen console that were backward compatible. Technically both of those companies do have current gen consoles that backwards compatible. However, there are only a few models of the PS3 that are backwards compatible. The Xbox 360 only has limited backwards compatability. The truely funny thing is that this man said that since "Microshaft" lied about backwards compatability he switched to a Mac. He was the one who said Microshaft not me

Why, Microsoft? Why?

I'm really shocked by Microsoft. I guess I really shouldn't be though. Whenever I try to connect my Xbox 360 to my laptop via Windows Media Center I keep getting an error message saying that the 360 couldn't connect. Argh!!

However, right now I'm playing music on my Playstation 3. Why am I even mentioning this? With my PS3 I scanned for media servers and oh, wait it found my laptop. Go figure a Microsoft product can't connect to one of their own pieces of software. Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those snotty people that refuses to use a computer that has any flavour of Windows. I just don't always appreciate Microsoft's crap sometimes. There has to be a fix for this solution but it's still frustrating.

Spew...

Yes, I'm finally back after the long hiatus. I finally worked up the courage to try sushi today. It wasn't quite what I expected. I don't really know what I was expecting but it wasn't really what I got. I bought spicy roll, I believe that's what it was called. I saw that an area Wal-Mart Supercenter had a place right next to the deli where an associate was prepping various kinds of sushi. I thought it a novel enough of a concept that I went back after doing other shopping to get something.  Do I reget doing so? Not exactly. However, I'm not sure how eager I'll be to eat sushi again. Maybe more willing now than I was before. That is since the mental barrier that was in place before that was keeping me from eating it has been shattered. I'm not sure since I didn't like what I tried because of the texture of whatever the vegitable they rolled in next to the tuna. Too crunchy for my taste and the taste of that vegitable wasn't exactly to my taste either. Maybe if I try that particular kind more often I may aquire a taste for it.  I doubt it, because I almost threw up.

"Sure, I could have stayed..."

I finally found the "Holy Grail" of sorts. What I'm referring to is the Evil Dead trilogy. This is important because of the fact that I'm a Bruce Campbell fan. It's also because of the fact that I haven't seen the first two movies for sale ever. This a great find.

"Hey, alien..um, why don't you turn down the suck."

I've recently bought an Xbox 360. It has been an interesting experience to tell the truth. I only as of yet two games for it, Halo 2 and 3. Why did I buy it? Because I was really wanting to play Halo 2 and didn't know of a place off hand where I could buy a regular Xbox. Plus, why would I want a regualar Xbox if I wanted to play Halo 3? I mean really. Halo 3 is fun so far and the graphics are amazing.

Welcome to Goodburger, home of the Goodbuger.

Life in general is reletively tolerable. I say this because it seems as if all I do is go to work, then come home, go to work and than repeat the next day. That's fine but it's just very little variety. Also very little fun. I shouldn't complain though since it's an honest job and it pays and that's what's important right now.

"...fire bad."

The two nectar's of life. What are they? Coffee and beer. The latter in moderation of course. I will only be touching on one of these ever so healthful drinks during the course of this post. I will be basically reviewing the beers that I have tried to this point. Whenever I refer to the body  I am referring to the taste of hops. 1) Budweiser is absolutely horrible. Seriously. I'm not even going to apologize for that statement because there is nothing to apologize for. It essentially tastes like what I imagine carbonated horse piss to taste like. 2) Bud Light was oddly only marginaly better in my view. This may have been because it wasn't watered down. I say this because I halfway suspect that the place where I had the regular Budweiser watered it down. It still wasn't great unwatered or not. 3) Grolsch is great in my opinion. It has a good medium body. It smells just as good as it tastes. 4) Corona Light isn't horrible but nothing outstanding. Damming with faint praise I know. The next two are brewed by the Boulevard Brewery Co. 5) Unfiltered wheat beer is a nice mild beer with an interesting faint sweet undertone. I'd recommend this one to those who either like or want the full hops flavour. 6) Pale Ale a bold beer with a full bodied flavour too it. If you aren't used to this it may seem like a kick in the teeth. So be warned in advance if you aren't already aware of this fact. 7) Samuel Adams cherry wheat beer is a fairly pleasant mild beer. Plus it goes great with hickory smoked ham and Swiss cheese sandwiches. Ok, true the next isn't technically a beer but still is worthy of mention. Woodchuck Draft Cider is a good tasting cider. I honestly might have forgotten that it was alcoholic if it didn't have a faint taste of alcohol to it.
