Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City


Well Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City for the PS3 has been released and I missed the midnight release and it is too late to go to the local Gamestop and pick it up. So I am waiting patiently until they open today (in about 9.5 hours).

I am hoping this game lives up to the great story of 2 and 3 which are my favorites. I am also hoping my broke ass friends (I am a broke ass now adays as well) will get a copy and play some co-op through the story. I am still a bit confused on the whole gameplay details will pan out such as the three groups -military, umbrella, and the bio weapons(zombies ect) and how it will all come together as a story which should be very interesting.

New iPad running a bit warm?


There has been several reports about the 3rd generation iPad getting warm or even hot. Mostly while doing processor intensive tasks such as gaming. In my opinion I believe this is to be expected since more intensive use of the graphics and cpu units create more heat on just about any device. Even my iPod Touch (3rd generation) get warm (not hot) while playing games such as Battlefield Bad Company 2 (great game by the way) or watching long movies. So people shouldn't "freak-out" over the new iPad getting warm. Just don't go out in the summer time outside in 100 degree heat in direct sun trying to play on your iPad. Common sense people.
