  A New Generation is Upon Us...

  PS3 and Wii are almost here. In less than a month, the world will know what the official next generation of video games is like. We've moved from a tiny research project in the 50's to 8-bit graphics to games in HD.
  
  What is about to happen in mid-November is so much more important than simply a new product hitting the market. With the release of these two systems, our world will transition into a new era of gaming. People will now begin to realize that video games are more than just ways to kill time but are also an art form; a place to explore alternate realities and find out more about ourselves beyond what reality allows us to see. The Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii system launches will signify the end of one way of life and the beginning of the next.
  
  To begin this transition, some friends and I have decided to participate in it directly. For the last month, we have been planning exactly how we're going to pre-order and purchase a PS3 (and possibly a Wii if money allows me). I don't wanna go into detail about what our plans are, but I will say that part of it involves taking pictures and video taping the experience. I want others to see what it's like to be a part of this event and to experience the adrenaline rush and intensity of being part of the changing of a new era.
  
  So, keep an eye on my blog for pics and possibly a video of this historic journey. I hope you're ready in your corner of the US, cuz it's gonna be big...

  Trying out NapsterLinks

  
  Hey guys,
  
  I gotta try this out. Apparently, Napster is allowing users to search for any song and link it to your blog. Then, readers can listen to the full song five times for free. Sounds pretty sweet. Let me know what you guys think.
  
  "Poem" by Taproot (album version)
  
  "Pardon Me" by Incubus
  
  *I would've used HTML and had a cool little button for you to click on, but...sigh..gamespot. If you guys know how, lemme know.

  Hidden in the Battlefield [2 that is]

  
  Well damn..it's been awhile since I've posted on Gamespot huh? OK, so the truth is I've been on www.1up.com more often. Buuuttt, that's starting to suck so Im back to the Spot. Also, being a junior in college doesn't help much either .
  
  I guess to update things a little for you's i've bought some new games and updated my collection. I just recently got my hands on Castlevania: DOS.
  
  
  
  I haven't played it yet but I have a good idea of what it's like. When I was at EB games, the sales dude who rang me up was actually playing the game himself. As soon as I set the thing on the counter, he got up in my face and started screaming how f**king awesome it was. Uhhh...good or bad customer service? Hell I dunno...it was annoying as hell either way. I guess that's one way of convincing people to buy something. If any of you guys have played it yet lemme know how it is. [send me a spoiler and i'll have to lay the smack down]
  
  Also, probably my best purcahse in about 5 years...Battlefield 2. I am so unbelievably and unhealthily addicted to this game. If you haven't played it yet then you need to quit ur fancy job and get ur ass to the store! Yes, I have a sexual attraction to this game and probably need phsyciatric assistance, but it's not all fun and games. There are actually quite a few issues with it that have royally pissed me off. To you BF2 [or even EA] officionados out there, this is probably nothing new. Here are some of the issues I've had so far:
  
  

  1. Hard to install (have to do v1.03, then PBWEB.exe, then load game.)
  2. Slow acct. verification
  3. Connection time-outs everywhere
  4. Lack of ranking in ranked servers
  5. Fun with bunny hoppers
  6. MOST IMPORTANT: the abundance of people experiencing the same problems!

  Other than that, the game kicks ass! I encourage all of you to battle with me sometime. Drop me a line on GS or on Xfire [sn = n3tf1ght3r].
  
  In other news, my college radio show NANDN411 is in full swing. My friend Nick and I talk about games, music, movies and games and we play alt. rock/metal. Im hoping to get some podcasts set up of old and new shows. Once it's ready I'll have a link here to listen to them.
  
  One more thing...just stay with me people. Check out the new Virtual Boy games I've got. [via Ebay] They should be in my collection, but you know GS and their "vast library" of games. My full collection can be found here. Well, that was a productive blog post...hope I can keep this **** up.
