Windows 8 Might Suprise You.

Sounds great just wish their was complete compatibility between mobile devices and x86 based PC's.

"Windows 8 is being developed from the ground up to elegantly run on both traditional computers (desktops and notebooks) as well as touch-based tablets. The OS can run on either ARM or x86 processors, though apps written specifically for the x86 desktop environment won’t be able to run on ARM-based mobile devices. "

Battlefield 3 Gamestop midnight release!

Finally the wait is over for one of my favorite video game series "Battlefield". I think the series is a lot better than the Call of Duty series because of 2 main features. Battlefield has vehicles to drive, from jets to jeeps and expansive maps that are massive.

So I will be leaving for the local Gamestop at around 11:45 pm to pick up my limited edition PC version. I look forward to crushing my enemies online! Bombs Away!

Been busy studying for school

Sorry for the lack of updates I have been busy with college. Will post more soon! Stay tuned!

Upcoming PS3 Games!

I recently bought the PS3 320GB Move bundle and have been playing Killzone 3 with move controllers inserted in the official PS3 move gun which looks pretty damn cool.

There are 20 exclusive upcoming PS3 games. Some such as Resistance 3, Motorstorm Apocalypse, Hyperdimension Neptunia and others. For pics and more info about these 20 exclusive upcoming games for the PS# follow the "Related Article" link below

Morbius the living vampire!

My favorite comic character of all time, Morbius The Living Vampire. Recent rumours say he was considered as the bad guy for the new spider-man movie, but rumors have since changed. He was a great anti-hero. Not exactly a villian and not a super do good-er.

He was changed into a vampire scientifically while looking for a cure for a blood disease he had. The side affect was vampirism. I have all his figures, most of the comics and even two sculpted busts. Check him out.

Need For Speed: The Run

The upcoming Need For Speed: The Run game uses the frostbite 2 engine which powers the new upcoming Battlefield 3. Here is a excerpt from Steams news page.

"The newly announced instalment in EA's racing franchise - Need for Speed: The Run - will use Frostbite 2 as its base.

Frostbite 2 has rocketed to fame after its graphical horsepower and capabilities were shown off in footage from Battlefield 3, which it also powers.

The Run is being developed by Black Box, and continues the cops vs racers war in a similar fashion to Criterion's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit from last year. However, this time around the central focus is that of 'The Run'; an illegal cross-country race from San Francisco all the way to New York City. Players will have to "weave through dense urban centers, rocket down icy mountain passes and navigate narrow canyons at breakneck speeds", whilst keeping an eye out for law enforcement."

Pre-purchase on steam and get a free copy of Metro 2033, a team fortress homefront bandana, and unlock the air assualt drone remote control helicopter on day one. Here is an excerpt from the description: "

• Discover a terrifyingly plausible near-future world – the familiar has become alien in this nightmare vision of Occupied USA
• Fight for a cause – join a cast of memorable characters as your resistance cell wages a guerrilla war against overwhelming military odds in the name of Freedom
• Witness the human cost of war – a gripping story from the pen of John Milius is told through immersive, interactive 1st person cut scenes
• Experience explosive FPS gameplay – battle through a dynamic mix of infantry and vehicle combat in a gripping single player campaign boasting intense, memorable set pieces
• Take the battle online – experience large scale multiplayer action like never before in epic infantry and vehicle warfare"

I really hope it ends up as good or better than the great Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2. We shall see in less than a week. I already pre-ordered mine on steam.

ASUS Eee PC 1015PN-PU17

I just recently put an order in for a new netbook, not that anything is wrong with the one I have (its fast and has windows 7 pro) but the ASUS Eee 1015PN series has a dual core atom processor(unlike my current single core atom) so it can run windows 7 or Vista 64bit editions. The netbook comes with 1GB of DDR3 RAM so I went ahead and bought a 2GB stick of DDR3 SODIMM from crucial.com which was only $25 dollars and both the crucial.com ram and the laptop had free shipping.

But the main reason I bought the netbook is because it has an nvidia ION 2 graphics chip although not top-end by any means but for a netbook it is. It also has nvidia optimus technology. They claim you can play WoW even though I do not play that game. It does have decent but not top end graphics. For a netbook however this is break through.

Product Highlights

• 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550
• 1GB RAM
• 250GB 5400rpm Hard Drive
• nVIDIA ION 2 Graphics
• 10.1" LED Backlit Widescreen Display
• Integrated Camera and Microphone
• Bluetooth 3.0+HS, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi
• Windows 7 Starter (32-bit)
• 6-Cell Battery (9.5 Hours)
• 2.8 lb

I bought the netbook here for $359.95 after discount($20 dollar offer ends Feb. 28-2011): http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/736941-REG/ASUS_1015PN_PU17_RD_Eee_PC_1015PN_PU17_Seashell.html
