Ipod Touch versus Second Gen Sony PSP.
As you may or may not know, both units are due out this month. Each with there pluses and minuses. Here are the factors playing into my decision now.
PSP has been a let down with games so far. There hasn't been a great emphasis really on games with it. Battlefront Renegade is the only thing interesting coming out soon.
Ipod Touch; Issues with video (Solarizing of dark color), potential undiscovered bugs, cost, sound quality?!?!?!
As technologicaly savvy people, what would you do?

On January 31st at 12 AM I celebarated my 18th birthday with..... text messages. For an hour straight there was enough text messages from my friends to fill the memory on my phone. I sat up responding then resumed my broken sleep.
8 A.M., I'm UP! Ready for school unfotrunately. but lets talk about gifts! I got the final 3 James Bond Ultimate DVD Collection boxsets ( they are amazing), The Mr. Bean Box set, and $500 CDN.
School, I wasn't to focused... I got slammed by a buddy into some lockers for my birthday. Nice. Shoulder is still sore. Anyways, it was quite a satisfactory school day.
Next I got to spend time with friends at my extra ciricular activities. Then moved onto the Oilers/ Blue Jackets game where the Oil played a great game and came out on top in a 5-2 victory. ( I did buy some beverages at the game yet... man they aren't cheap).
Now to all of my peers across the CNET communities, I thank the 326 of you who have accpeted me as your friends. I definately enjoy reading your blogs regularly. I look forward to seeing more of your posts! Now if that level 20 would start moving. Seems to be really slow.
I will be in the communities abit less than average just because of work and my AP classes at school (Advanced Placement). They tie me down like you would not believe.
SUPERBOWL: The commercials, the parties, THE GAME!
Who do you think is going to take the bowl home this year.
Should be a dandy! What do you have on your mind? Leave a comment!

January is the the most emotional month of the year for me. The first two weeks are what I call "HELL WEEKS". Being in Gr. 12, teachers are trying to cram in as much as possible and stuffing tests and homework down your throat. Now just over half way through there are 2 MAJOR tests worth 50% of your final mark. They are insainly tough and time consuming.
The last half of the month for me is a true joy. You start a new semester....not as much pressure. I am all up for that now.
The last day of January 2007 shall be the most fun day of my life, for I turn 18. HAAAZZZAAA.
But yeah, 18 is awesome for me. Now I can view PPV games at the bar.
Thats a deal for walking the surface of the planet for 18 years...LOL.

Well, I must say it was a very Merry Christmas. Surrounded by family and friends in the most festive day of the year was super fun. All in all the meal was awesome and we had alot of fun with some of our new gifts. I am proud to report that my Wii was largely used the whole time. My uncle really enjoyed Wii sports and Even my grandma started to enjoy it too. Now you maybe wondering what I recieved for Christmas 2006! How does a Foosball table sound! So much fun! Everyone likes Fooooooooosssssbaaaaaaaalllllllll (Insert a Homer fury scream here!). I also recieved the first volume of The James Bond DVD collection, The Pacifier (Vin Diesel), and Walk the Line (Phoenix and Witherspoon), To top it off I got 2 really nice collector coin and sets. The first is a proof (purest silver available anywhere) silver piece and a Snowbird collector set with a coin and some pretty sweet stamps. Christmas was awesome this year!

James Brown passed away today at 1 AM after heart failure which was caused by a bout of Pneumonia. The King of Soul had reportedly won his battle with alcohol and drugs and had just completed his counsiling. Brown was scheduled to have a concert on January 10th of 2007 in Edmonton, Alberta which I really was looking forward to attending. James Brown made his mark in the entertainment industry in a big way and his memory will never be forgotten. Brown was 73.
May God Rest Your Soul.

After seeing Jeff's review of Twilight Princess, I was inspired to scrutinze this game inch by inch and see how a highly anticipated title got only an 8.8!
Now, I've played over 60 hours (and still playing), and I have most of everything you can get. I'm maxed on Rupees, Bombs, and Arrows in capacity. Yes I did collect all the golden bugs. As far as heart containers I am only missing four. I am sure I have all the items you can possibly get to.
I was extremely impressed by this game. Graphically there is a tonne of good spot. Iff you are searching for something bad, there is the extremely rare spot that might make you say "Eww" or "WTF!". But I must stress you must be searching attentitively to find these.
Soundtrack was great, it really played into the different moods of the game. Sound effects were good. The ones that come through the remote are meant to be a sort of add on so you really can't grade the game on these. Howeever these SFX ranged from good to average.
Gameplay was pretty solid. No major bugs to report.
Very intrigueing story line for sure. Cinematics are good.
Where you get an 8.8 for? I couldn't tell you. This game is a series GotY contender!
I'll give this game a 9.8 for sure.

Well I got my Wii at 10:00 AM on launch day at my local EB. I came home with my 4 games and other accesories and got to it setting it all up! I got to go in the store an hour before non-preorder people. They were out of Classic Controllers because they only got 1!
My take from Launch day!
Realizing I spent less than one 60 GB PS3!
So far I have played mostly Wii Sports and the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Both games have exceeded my expectations.
I have played a few hours of Call of Duty 3. So far so good I really am likeing the intuitive controls and gameplay.
I have played a couple of hours of Red Steel. I have had to adjust to this game abit by honing and adjusting the controls. I think I have them set pretty good now. I believe this game is worth a bit more than the 5.5 GS rated it at.
I am deciding which game to download from the VC first. So many enticing titles.
The Mii system is there. Its very comical when you run WiiConnect 24 and see which Wii's venture into your system!
So far I have nothing bad to say. I have played countless hours all ready and both remotes retain full charge.

Well, last night (November 17th) I got to see the movie I have been anticipating the most this year came out. And I have to say I was very impressed. This movie has its high paced action section aswell as the typical Bond moments you would expect.
The first thing you may ask about is the opening graphic sequence? I am quite confident to say that of all the James Bond movie to be released the opening graphic sequence for Casino Royale is probably one of the best.
Next, you will ask about is the theme for Casino Royale that plays during the iconic opening graphics? For this installment of 007, Chris Cornell (Lead of Audioslave) lends his vocals to a very suiting song entitled " You Know My Name ". I found it suiting for this movie.
Take a peak here: Opening Graphic sequence from T.V. Spot 5 (Note this is not the full opening sequence as it is only the T.V. Spot.)
Next you might ask about, is the Bond girl! I have to say Eva Green did an extemely good job of being 007's kryptonite. Not to mention she is very easy to look at. One of the better Bond girls out of the whole series is safe to say.
If there is one disappointment to the movie it is the lack of driving action. Sure there is a fancy 2007 Aston Martin DBS supplied to Bond, but it is utilized for maybe 2 minutes. There is also a return of the original 1964 Aston Martin used in original Bond films. That was a nice touch.
But anyways, enough from me! Here is a synopsis provided by tribute.ca! (Possible Spoilers!)
****************************************
Daniel Craig stars as "007" James Bond, the smoothest, sexiest, most lethal agent on Her Majesty's Secret Service in Casino Royale. Based on the first Bond book written by Ian Fleming, the story, which has never been told on film until now, recounts the making of the world's greatest secret agent.
James Bond's first "007" mission leads him to Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world's terrorists. In order to stop him, and bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale. Bond is initially annoyed when a beautiful British Treasury official, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), is assigned to deliver his stake for the game and watch over the government's money. But, as Bond and Vesper survive a series of lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual attraction develops leading them both into further danger and events that will shape Bond's life forever.
****************************************
Overall, if you are going to see this movie it is best to have abit of knowledge on the James Bond series. I went with a few friends. Some of them got totally lost, while others followed completely. Being a Bond fan I found it easy to follow.But in order to give a full score it has to be easy for everyone to follow.
I am giving the 21st Bond movie, Casino Royale ,
.This movie is totally worth it! Feel free to ask questions or share your opinion!
( I have to say Casino Royale set up the Gun Barrel sequence very well!)

On November 3rd, 2006 the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars faced off in what was to be a high pace game of professional hockey. Dallas came out swinging right out of the gate, but there first goal was of some controversy. On the play Eric Lindros was crossing infront of goaltender Duane Roloson (For no real reason either) and knocked the stick out of Rolosons' hand and threw him off balance. The Stars scored on the play and there was no call made on the apparent goaltender interference. The Oilers accepted it and took it in stride.
As the game progressed the momentum shifted towards the Oilers. Ryan Smythe had banked a shot off of Marty Turcos' leg to bring the Oilers within one. At the half way mark of the period Dallas regained there 2 goal lead.
In the third period, it became a War of Attrition. After pulling the goalie, Edmonton was able to get some offence with 1:20 in the period with a goal by Peter Sykora.The Oilers were within one. Again the puck was dropped and shots were fired.
With little time left in the game teams lined up again to the right of Turco. Horcoff of the Oilers won the faceoff and got the puck back to Jared stoll who put a hard puck in on Turco which resulted in a rebound. This rebound came straight out at Ales Hemsky who burried it in the back of the net. Mick McGeough who was behind the Stars net on the play, waved the goal off immediately and insisted that Horcoff made a hand pass on the draw. With 7 seconds left there was nothing to be done. Video Replay couldn't be used by the refs since the play was blown dead.
Fans littered the ice with anything that could be thrown. The Oilers website could not handle the bulk of people logging in. I was lucky to get on the site at the end of the game. Never have I seen so much flaming. The local radio station who covers the Oilers game extended there Open-Line calling section until the early hours of the morning with angry fans calling in.

As you may know(or may not), Gamespot has a Gamespace banner Contest where users can submit there works to Alex Navarro to be judged. In the latest submissions he took in for review, there was an extremely large number of banners submitted. Even though there are some rules that help users create better banners and possible trim down the number of submissions, there is a larger demographic of the Gamespot community who are submitting Gamespace banners. Simply put, Alex has his hands full (He's been going through the last submissions for over a month now....not that theres anything wrong with that... the guy is busy).
I am proposing that users who have regularly contributed to the Gamespace Contest thread, that we found a union that could possibly help Alex in efficiency and reviwing time. This union would also benefit users in helping them create a better work of art.
If you are interested in this please make sure you are involved currently in Gamespace banner creation and have space open in your unions page to accept an invitation.
Ideas are welcome!

As of recent I have theoretically won a grand total of $8 million dollars over the internet for various random online draws. All of these are from organizations and websites I have no affiliation to. I was quite flattered but immediately recognized it as phishing.
If you do not know what phishing is, it is an attempt of a hacker or some other bad person with access to a PC to try and collect valuable information off internet users. They may use this information to either rob you or sell your identity to hackers, aswell as some other nasty things
But you can fight back. In the new Norton Internet Security 2007 suite, there is anti-phishing technology, this is one defence. But the best defence is you!!!
A person who phishes can be anywhere from an idiot to an extremely brilliant peron. At anyrate we are human...spelling mistakes do happen. Phishers have terrible spelling. An official email generally has no errors in it for it is edited by a second person and usually hits spell check a few times.
Next in the emails I recieved there was no copyrights or a company logo. There wasn't even page formatting.
They did however try to boost authenticity by including some legal jargin as well as lottery licesences registered in different countries. They even gave me a link to a laywer who had already pre-waved some costs for me to collect my money.
If you find an email suspicious, take the time to look through it and report it.
The emails I got were posing as a world wide online loterry program who draw emails essentially. Phishing is not limited to this. People have recieved emails from Phishers posing as Pay- pal or a credit company asking for your pin numbers and account numbers because they lost them. WATCH OUT!
Oh well, I guess in the cyber world I am a multimillionaire in cyber money....I'll keep you all posted if I get more stuff on this.

Jet Li's final major action role. This movie is one of my favorites. A very strong storyline aswell as the consistency we have come to know from Jet Li's movies. Here is a synopsis (provided as usual by tribute.ca):
*******************************************
The story of Huo Yuanjia—a fighter who represented Chinese martial arts to a nation; a man who fought his way out of darkness and into history.
Yuanjia, a young boy whose father is a great fighter, wants to follow in his footsteps, but his father refuses. The boy steals his father’s Wushu manual and teaches himself how to fight. Able to beat up the schoolyard bully with his new skills, Yuanjia keeps on training until he becomes known as a powerful fighter.
When his arrogance and love for violence leads to the murder of his mother and daughter, Yuanjia, stricken with grief, leaves his home and wanders for thousands of miles. Having lost the desire to live, he’s taken in by strangers whose kindness and generosity enable him to eventually forget his pain and his violent history.
However, he reluctantly dusts off his skills when a child in his new village runs into trouble with a neighboring tribe.
************************************
If you enjoy Jet Li, martial arts, or films with great historical references the movie fits the bill perfectly. It's totally enjoyable and easy to follow. The movie maybe in Chinese, but with subtitles the point still gets across really well.

As we near the launch of the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii, interest in the two begin to pick up. While this is going on people may forget about one of this years biggest movies to hit the silverscreen. For me, this is namely Casino Royale.
Many of you may or may not know that Casino Royale's storyline is set before Dr.No. This ultimately means that Casino Royale is the prequel to the James Bond series we know.
There was a small version of Casino Royale made in the 50's. This version generated little hype but set the stage for one of the film-making industries strongest series.
Excited beyond excitement for November 17th to 19th.
Enjoy!

Today I stopped off at my local EB games. I inquired about pre-ordering the Nintendo Wii naturally. They could not offer me anything except put me on there unofficial pre-order list. I'm number 1 on the list
. They also could not tell me any of the details on what the pre-order might involve.But getting back on topic, EB did let me pre-order Wii games!
Today I fully ordered:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Red Steel
and Call of Duty 3.
My sister is wanting Rayman and Excite Truck possibly so I might end up with those to.
All I need to do is pre-order the Wii. Things are shaping up.

As most of the Gamespot community knows, the Nintendo Wii has been fully revealed to the public. From the briefing on new titles, to the new refinements in demos we first saw at E3. With the prices announced on the console,software, and controllers the stage is set.
Also adding to the potential success of the Wii is the largest and strongest launch day line up in the video gaming world. With the Wii Sports pack in included in the launch bundle, Nintendo is making a large effort in the fun out of the box factor and value.This is the ultimate pledge to gamers aswell as the non-gamer demographic.
After watching alot of gameplay videos from the latest event I am confident that Wii brings a whole new level of gaming to the industry.As much as I am an enthusiast of graphical capabilities and processing power, the Wii has something more to it.
It is going to be interesting to watch the console race after Wii is launched. Lets see how each console is recieved!
What did you think of the Wii's most recent unveiling? Something outstanding? Or was there something that was lack-luster at the event?
Tell me what you think!

In a year with not as many big name pictures coming to the silverscreen, movie fans have endured what may seem as an eternity before their most anticpated selection comes.
Now it may only be the beginning of September with school already in progress for me but I cannot long anymore for Casino Royale. This movie looks great.
As this is my pick for 2006 feel free to add your own selections. I may even get around to adding a trailer of your movie.
