  Finally

  It's been a whole 10 days since launch, but I finally got my hands on a PS3. I got Resistance with it, and so far I've downloaded MotorStorm and Blast Factor. I will be posting my reviews of those games in the upcoming week. My first impressions of the system itself are very, very positive. It is a sleek machine, and it runs very smoothly. Very quiet too. Sixaxis is incredibly light, and the tilt function is touchy. I have to go to work ( they know I just got my PS3, and they wouldn't be fooled) so I have to go, but there will be more to come in the days following. Look out for my reviews on Resistance.

  T- minus 12 hours until camp time.

  Well here's how things sit. I work for a retailer. I am a manager for this retailer. I know how many consoles my store is going to get. I have Thursday and Friday off. I thought my chances of getting a PS3 were pretty good. But things have changed. When I went into work yesterday, I saw a LINE!!!! Two people, just sitting there in front of the HDTV wall with laptops, obviously making themselves comfy. Now these two people are not enough to deter me, but I have to close tonight. That means that I have to be on my company's time until 10 o'clock tonight. So if in the next 12 hours 4 more people get into line. I'm screwed. But, if on the off chance when I get off, there is less than 6 people in line, then I will begin my 26 hour wait. I don't have a laptop. All I have is a PSP with about 6 hours of life, and a book of Sudoku puzzles. Oh, and a large well of patience. Oh yeah, patience. So wish me luck. There are three games I am completely stoked about. Madden '07  after seeing the making of the game, I am convince it is truly next gen. MotorStorm  have you seen the videos for this game on IGN.com? Amazing. Simply amazing. And last but certainly not least Resistance Fall of Man  the makers of Ratchet and Clank make a first person shooter with awesome guns. You just gotta play that one. 40 online with very little lag or framerate issues. You gotta love that even more.

  If I don't get one on day one. I won't be too sad. Because then I can watch the backdoor. And while there may be laws against understocking a street dated item, there are absolutely no laws against it once the date has hit. My company probably won't like it, but oh well.

  How bored I have become.

  For starters, why is it so hard to write in this thing more often. I post everday, you think I would be able to say something in here everday as well. For those of you who don't know there was a hold put on all of my gaming account by my wife in lieu of the upcoming PS3. If I want to buy it I have to go without for a while, in other words. No big deal, I say. I cancel my GameTap, I cancel my Blockbuster GamePass, I cancel my Xbox Live account, I cancel my World of Warcraft account and I busy myself playing my dusty collection (The last game I bought outright was SOCOM 3: Navy Seals last October.) So in my quest for gaming satisfaction I have played many games. At first I picked up San Andreas, but I quickly remembered why I stopped in the first place. But then I looked up all the cheat codes, (something that before I had avoided) and commenced having alot of fun with jetpacks on demand and flying cars. Soon though even that got boring. I played Madden 05 and got some enjoyment out of that, but again I have been there and done that for many, many hours. I played SSX and tried to build up Moby as the ultimate snowboarder again, but halfway there I lost the motivation. I played Jak and Daxter, Return of the King, Final Fantasy Tactics, Legends of Dragoon, Mario Kart 64, San Fransisco Rush, ATV Offroad Fury, Morrowind, Dungeon Siege, Driver, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Mega Man 2 & 3, Ghost Recon(even though I hate it), Aggressive Inline and every other game in my collection that I could possibly try. Right now I am playing Diablo II online with a friend, and I have to say that it might hold my interest until Nov. 17th (or beyond if I don't get one that day). But if it fails, I have one more game between me and complete gamers insanity, and that is... Syphon Filter: Omega Strain. So here's to the vintage classics and the recent familiar faces of SSX, ATV Offroad (because yes, I am talking about the originals.) We love you, but for god sakes I need something new.
