RockStar Making Exclusive Title for PS3
seems like 1up.com thinks it's a Max Payne game. I doubt it though, the movie comes out in October I think, most movie games are rushed, unless this isn't a tie in game. And for that matter, i doubt it'll be exclusive because Max Payne has appeared on PC over the years. Although RockStar games has said they are making something exclusive, only possible using PS3 hardware power. We'll see.

Valve Re-Evaluating Their Feelings Towards PS3
Well now, it looks like they better swallow their own words, cuz the PS3 is selling, and making money. They are re evaluating their stance towards the rising success of the PS3:
"We're always evaluating what's happening in the marketplace and certainly something that's happening in the last couple of months is that Sony's managed to sell some boxes," said Lombardi."So whether or not you like developing for that platform, if they've got millions of people connected to that platform and buying their games you have to take it seriously."

Kojima Wants Xbots to Stop Asking for MGS4 Port
The article quotes Kojima saying that a 360 version is nearly impossible because MGS4 is designed, created and optimized specifically for the PS3.
He would rather interviewers and people ask about future projects of the company, rather than the persistant "will you port MGS4 to 360?"

Xbox 360 Price Cuts - Reflections
Fave Character from The Office
Rumour: Crysis Coming To PS3 Later in 09
Desert Island 3 Games
Wii Sports - Even though I'd probably be by myself on the island, this game will surely take up some time in my daily boringness.
Rock Band w/downloaded content - although I like Guitar Hero more, since the songs are harder, Rock Band ultimately has more songs, and the songs are more diverse.
Roller Coaster Tycoon - stranded on a desert island, thought it'd be fun to make my own theme park...in a game, this is the trailer to the 3rd one.

5 Fave Video Games of All Time
4. Bioshock - creepy, scary, horrific, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, this is the game of the year. The brooding atmosphere of Rapture, it's a utopia gone wrong. The soundtrack is like a blockbuster horror, everything in this game is absolutely movie quality, that's why it's now being made into a movie.
3. Kingdom Hearts - The wonderful world of Disney, and Final Fantasy characters, I dunno, I just love this game, it struck a chord. Sora was relatable and likeable, and the musical score was just beautiful. The sense of just leaving home, running away on an adventure with new friends, and those who have hearts.
2. Metal Gear Solid 4 - I have never played a single Metal Gear Solid game previous to this one, I had no idea what the fuss was about, great gameplay, one of the best graphics out there today, and an incredibly deep story, the strucutre of the game is just amazing. Near the end of the game, similarly to a movie, the climax is just epic.
1. Final Fantasy X - I think this is my favourite game of all time, I can't think of anything else, no other game has made me care about these characters, the story was engaging and incredible, it had gorgeous graphics for it's time, and intuitive puzzles, and was incredibly story drive, it was a milestone and almost ahead of it's time back in 2002. The world of Spira, was a remarkable adventure for me. Clearly my words to describe this game are an understatement, it is something not to be described, but experienced first hand. Here's a decent fan made trailer:
Pineapple Express Review!!
I've heard from a few people that it is a sh*t movie, that you would only enjoy if you were high. While this may be true, it isn't in some cases depending on your sense of humour. I enjoyed the movie, sober, while I do believe it may be even more hilarious if high. I'm not sure if these actors were actually high during the movie, but their performances and writing, are amazing. Everything they said, and the way they did, their performances, if I was high, would do the same, it reminded me of my stone aged days. A nice tough. Overall, just go see it for yourself, its a nice summer stoner action comedy.
8.0/10
InFamous - lookin forward to it

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Demo
The Force Unleashed
I recently just downloaded the PSN demo of this game, and I have to say it's pretty solid. The game's graphics are superb, and the physics are top notch, just like the developers were talking about. The demo consists of you, the secret apprentice, sent to this base to wipe out anyone and everything there. The game although, built from the ground up on next gen platforms, has a sort of Battlefront vibe to it. I also found myself having to wait for my "force" to recharge in order to keep tossing things at the enemies, which I found sort of annoying and the quick time events near the end of the demo, which includes battling a walker, was quite annoying. The soundtrack however, and the trailer that followed finishing the demo, are incredible though. If I had to base an entire review from this demo, it would get a 7.8/10, great but it lacks a certain touch in my opinion...or just, it could be way better, just my two cents
Update: I realized what that lack of certain touch was, it was more of the story, the story of the secret apprentice, overall I actually enjoyed the demo the more I played it, looking forward to the real deal.
God of War III To Look Like Beowulf
On GameSpot's The HotSpot podcast, at 00:58:50, "I've heard through a various of sources that the level of realism in God of War, as far as graphics go, like that was shown in the trailer, is very close, like uncanny valley close; like looking like Beowulf."

Tropic Thunder Review!!
These actors along with a few more, Brandon T Jackson, and Jay are thrust into the jungle, which is rigged with hidden cameras to capture in the moment scenes. The comedy in my opinion is great, and I loved it. Scenes develop who the characters are, and the viewer can get a grasp on understanding the issues. The performances are top notch, the scene may have a serious ominous tone, and the actor may be very convincing and in the moment, but what makes it hysterical is the words that are coming out of his mouth. It's priceless. This movie may be satire or parody, it doesn't matter, as long as the viewer enjoyed it, and I enjoyed it. Overall, it was a fun watch, and I could probably watch it again. Seeing Robert Downey Jr portray a black man is worth the $9.00 to see this.
7.9/10

10 Signs You'll Get Lucky
10: She Buys You A Drink - "If she offers to buy you a drink, it is a clear indication that she is confident and goes after what she wants. It is also an invitation to join her, and potentially keep her company for the remainder of the evening"
9: She Touches You - "Body language is the key to knowing whether or not a woman is into you. If she touches you affectionately on the arm or leg in the midst of conversation, chances are that she’d like to take that touching to a more intimate place later on."
8: She Compliments You - "Women aren’t the only ones who enjoy compliments; men like their egos fed too -- a trick most women know. So, if she’s going on a complimenting rampage about your physical appearance or the smell of your cologne, you can take that as a sign that you’ll probably get some kind of action by closing time."
7: She's Making Eye Contact - "Maintaining prolonged eye contact (i.e., longer than five seconds) with you during your conversation shows that she likes what she sees and isn’t afraid to explore it further."
6: She Lets You Touch Her - "If she’s touching you, take that as an invite to return the favor. By allowing you to touch her affectionately or not shying away from any accidental touches to her hand or leg, she’s showing you that she’s comfortable with you and attracted to you. These are two probable signs you’ll get lucky by the end of the night"
5: She Leans In - "When talking to someone they’re not interested in, both men and women ensure to maintain their personal space so the other person doesn’t get the wrong idea. So, if your woman of interest leans in while talking to you, you can interpret it as a clear sign that she is comfortable sharing her personal space with you, and probably wouldn’t mind sharing her private space with you too."
4: She Shares Private Details - "A woman won’t open up to just anyone; she needs to feel comfortable and safe with the person she divulges personal information to. So, if you find yourself engaging in a conversation in which she’s sharing personal or emotional information, read it as an act of being open to receiving physical consolation from you."
3: She Starts Talking Dirty - "No sign you’ll get lucky can be more clear than this one. If she starts engaging in a sexual conversation with you -- she tells you what she likes, she asks you what you like, she tells you about past experiences, etc. -- you can be sure that she’s flirting with you in the hopes of taking your relationship to the next level."
2: She Shows You Her Tattoo - "Some things are only meant for certain eyes to see, especially when it comes to private features on intimate body parts, like a tattoo on her lower back or a birthmark on her breast. If she raises her shirt to show you anything of the sort, she’s giving you a glimpse of what you could have later on if you make a move"
1: She Splits A Cab With You - "If, by the end of the night, you still haven’t worked up the courage to ask her to your place, she may leave at the same time as you or even go so far as to offer to split a cab ride with you. Consider this your last chance to get lucky for the night."
"There is no scientific formula to help predict how your evening will end. But if you take the time to be aware of these small signs, you can be sure that your success rate for “scoring” with women will increase significantly."

Games That Should Make Their Return To PS3
Kingdom Hearts 3 - I want to see moer Pirates of the Carribean in this, some Mighty Ducks, and some Pixar worlds like Ratatouille and The Incredibles. More of everything!
Dino Crisis - It's everything that Jurassic Park wishes it could be. And if you're going to waste the light-gun peripheral on shit like Time Crisis 4, then at least try making a GOOD game with it. Dino Crisis is long overdue for a revival, and Turok just doesn't provide the right kind of human-versus-dinosaur combat.
Bushido Blade - One-on-one sword combat never got the professional treatment it deserved until Bushido Blade hit the scene. With various weapons to select, strict rules of combat, and a pretty compelling set of characters, it's a wonder that no Bushido sequel has been made for the PS3, been waiting for a samurai game
Legend of Dragoon - One of the most underrated games in the PlayStation library, The Legend of Dragoon was an RPG that had a refreshing combat system, relying on timed button presses and a bit of strategy. Also, it was really fucking cool to watch your character transform into a mythic, winged warrior. While the game wrapped things up nicely, there's plenty of room in a prequel to tell the story of Rose and her past life as the Black Dragoon.
Fear Effect 3 - PS3 sequel to the psone hit

Working Out
However i went to workout with my dad in the local gym, and decided to do sit ups, and felt results, and saw the faint outline of what could be my midsection!! So i kept on it, this time, with the Ab Ripper X video, I've been doing this workout for a week now, and feel better than ever, and i somehow lost 4-5 lbs. Now i'm incorporating more workouts in, like lower body workouts, and upper body to strengthen my chest and arms.
Inspiration came from wanting to look good for girls, I'm not fat, and i've had enough girls call me "cute" to warrant myself "not bad". But i dont really have a toned body, so now im workin on that. So "epic win" for working out and stayin fit!
Back to School Pt 1
These Adidas Originals' Sprack shoes are something that I would want to get, they definately beat my current sneakers, but still, nothing beats my old Rob Dyrdek DC signature shoes...that has pictures of shoes on them.
