Too Human - Xbox 360
Posted on September 24, 2008 - Filed Under Entertainment, gaming | Leave a Comment
I’ve spent a few hours so far diving into Too Human, a recently released XBox 360 game. The play style is somewhat Diablo like, with monsters running in from all sides and you with a pair of guns and a melee weapon. The graphics are really good, but the actual game play leaves [...]

Well, for us lucky Xbox 360 owners it is, rockers on the PS3 or Wii will have to wait another month. The game itself is very good, much has remained the same since the first Rock Band came out but new features and improved old features make it better in almost every way. [...]

I’ve been getting into drums quite a bit lately, Rock Band drums at least, having nearly finished the songs on hard and slowly working my way through expert. I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about the new drums that were made for Rock Band 2 and I think I might pick up [...]

The prices on XBox 360 consoles have been getting a lot slimmer lately and the Arcade bundle in general has really taken the biggest nose dive, dropping $70 to the $199 price point. The premium bundle which dropped to $299 about a month ago is now sporting a 60gb hard drive. The Elite [...]

I gave up. I’ve tried several times over the past year to get my XBox 360 to play movies that are on my computer. Or listen to music that’s on my computer. Or hell, even to view pictures that are on my computer. It just doesn’t work. I’ve read the [...]

Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under DVD, Entertainment, TV | Leave a Comment
Our TV series rentals have been rather dismal over the last year or so, mainly because they’ve been crammed onto a shelf that’s away from the regular rentals. Another problem is that we don’t have the room to spread them out like we used to, so instead of renting them out by the disc [...]

I’ve finally gotten around to putting the used CDs up on proper shelving instead of just having some crammed into a bin. I also brought up another box full from the basement so there’s almost 800 of ‘em on display now. $4 each, tax included. I still have a few boxes of [...]

Posted on August 22, 2008 - Filed Under Electronics, gaming | Leave a Comment
80gb PS3’s will soon be dropping to the $399 prince point, I’m not sure what will be happening with the 40gb units. I expect they will drop the price to $349 until the remaining units have been sold and then it will be discontinued. Recent news of a 160gb PS3 coming in November [...]

Posted on August 20, 2008 - Filed Under Entertainment, Music, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Living around here my whole life has gotten me accustomed to having hardly anything to listen to on the radio. With only one english radio station to tune in to, the benefits of high speed internet really shine. Many radio stations (ours included, strangely enough) are now offering online broadcasts, which means we [...]

Drums are fun. I can’t play real drums, yet anyway, but I’m doing ok so far with Rock Bands fake plastic drum set. Next month we get Rock Band 2 with some upgrades including optional cymbals for the drum set and an auto-calibration feature in the new guitar. A premium drum set [...]

I just updated the Used Games page again to include some new goodies we’ve gotten in this week and delete the stuff that sold. Items of particular interest are a Nintendo Wii (which honestly seems to be more of a weight loss products than a gaming system), some more Rock Band gear for the [...]

Lots of rumors flying around about some price drops coming next month. The Xbox 360 Pro 20gb has already dropped from $349 to $299 which is just $20 more than the Arcade bundle that only comes with a memory card. Next month however the Arcade system could be as low as $199. [...]

Summer tends to be a little slow when it comes to new DVDs being released, but this one is even worse than usual. On average there’s only 1 ‘big’ name movie coming out a week along with 1 or 2 of the lesser known titles. September will probably be flooded with movies, once the [...]
