IM EXCITE! Just got a 12 month Playstation Plus subscription from amazon (usually $50) for $20 + tax. A few days ago I saw an article that read Amazon.com had discounted the PS+ card down from its normal price of $50 down to $40. I was glad to hear this since I was planning to get a subscription since my ps3 died and I lost all my data, I wanted to recover the data I backed up onto the cloud during the free month of PS+ given to us PS3 users. I was fully prepared to spend the $40 on the service but when i went to complete my order I noticed that I was only being charged $20 + tax for the card/code. I was confused for a minute but after looking around for a bit I noticed I had a $20 coupon/gift card thing from when i pre-ordered a game (Killzone 3 i believe) and so my ending total instead of $40 was $20. This is a great deal because the 3 month subscription is around $18 so I ended up with a full year of service for a few dollars more than the 3 month service price. On top of this there was no shipping or waiting since all you need it the code, they show it right there on the screen and will email it to you as well. Good form Amazon. Good form!

IM NOT EXCITE
So my ps3, the one i just got back from Sony 3 months and 2 weeks ago failed and got the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD). I called Sony to ask if i was eligible for a free replacement since it was so close to the 90 warranty given with a refurbished unit, of course i wasnt and i now have to give Sony ANOTHER $129 to replace this PS3. Check out the video to see the YLOD in action.
IM EXCITE
A Game Developer called DarkCryo is working on an MMO for the TV series Firefly. The game has apparently been in development for quite some time and is looking for backing from Fox and Mutant Enemy. This could be amazing and i hope there are plans to bring the game to the PS3, i can't afford to buy a pc just for one game.

Top Five: Cinematic Showdowns!
Well I think the title explains it all, but just in case allow me to expand upon it. I'm listing my top five favorite fights of all time. Now the idea is only to include fights between two opponents, so it’s like your basic duel type thing. I’m not including group fights or any fights that have one dude vs. a million. I’m only going for the classic 1 vs. 1 thing. I might do another post to include different kinds of fights but right now I just want to do this. Ok, so I’m starting at number five and working my way to number one. Let’s begin.
NUMBER FIVE: The Rock vs. Vin Diesel
From Fast Five, I know it’s a new fight, but it is still a great fight, and maybe the best thing to come from this movie. Both of these guys were expected to be the next big action stars and it didn’t really happen for either of them, so to see the two duke it out, was quite impressive. Plus the fight had a really gritty feel that, helped sell the intenseness of it. Not to mention that The Rock was fucking roided out in this film.
NUMBER FOUR: Obi Wan vs. Anakin Skywalker
From episode three, the best of the prequel trilogy. This fight was amazing. The special effects and the choreography of the fight were top notch. Was great to see Anakin’s final plunge into the dark side, and I also liked that the film really let the emotion of the fight shine through. All in all it was the best part of the prequel trilogy and it was a good way to transform the shy Anakin, into the evil Darth Vader.
NUMBER THREE: John Wayne vs. Victor McLaglen
From the Quiet Man. This is a great fight. Though not as serious as a fight as the other on the list, it is still a great fight. The humor and realness of the fight help make this fight my number three all time favorite. Not to mention that throughout the whole movie, you just can’t wait for John Wayne to go into boss mode and beat the shit out of Victor McLaglen. A great fight, and a great moment in film history.
NUMBER TWO: Rocky vs. Ivan Drago
From Rocky IV, my favorite Rocky film. This fight had it all, the underdog, revenge, patriotism. Unlike the Cold War, Rocky’s battle with Drago was quite a war. Seeking revenge for the death of his friend, Rocky agrees to fight this massive Russian against everyone’s wishes. Proving why he is the greatest fictional boxer of all time, Rocky steps into the ring with this giant of a man and wins. The fight is brutal, Rocky takes a hell of a beating but like any good underdog story, he keeps on kicking and never admits defeat.
NUMBER ONE: Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris
Yeah, I went there. From Way of the Dragon, this fight between a martial arts icon, and a man that is known for his roundhouse kicks is an amazing fight. Though not as chorographically advanced as some of today’s fights, the fight is still great for its classic feel. It’s also more of a fight of minds since both of the characters they were playing were masters at their craft. They each counter each other and know each others moves. All in all definitely my favorite fight of all time, and one of the coolest fights I have ever seen. R.I.P. Bruce Lee.
NUMBER FIVE: The Rock vs. Vin Diesel
From Fast Five, I know it’s a new fight, but it is still a great fight, and maybe the best thing to come from this movie.

From dynasty to dynasty!
Just days after Phillips Seafood announced it is leaving Harborplace (mall around the inner harbor), there’s something new to take its place.
Have you ever been on a real shrimp boat? Do you even like shrimp?..... well if you said yes to either question this post is for you!
"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it." ....gotta LOVE BUBBA GUMP!
If you still haven't connected the dots well then Phillips seafood announced they are closing up shop at the Light Street Pavilion. In its place: Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, of “Forest Gump” fame. Set to open in May 2012 the restaurant features film memorabilia, photographs and reproductions of scripts, storyboards and costumes. There is also a retail store within the restaurant that sells souvenirs and clothing.
Shit why not whats yall FAVE forest gump quote heres mine!......"One day it started raining, and it didn't quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin' rain... and big ol' fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night..." Forest Gump

- Whats the deal with Refurbished systems?....Like i know they are "pre-owned" and all that jazz but i see game stop has a Sony Refurbished PS3 (250gb) for $279.99.....Should i even go this route?
- Have any of the Boys purchased any gaming merchandise online?... and if so would they suggest a site for me.
- Finally, im considering two "Bundle" packages...... Sony PS3 Starter Bundle (comes with ps3 160gb (my choice of with or without MW3) and a choice of one game for a list of 42) for about $329.99 ..........OR PS3 Greatest hits bundle same as above with a choice of one Greatest hits game(Killzone 2, MAG, God of War collection) and choice of game ( Ghostbusters, WWE legends of Wrestlemania, IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of pray) for $319.99

PSVITA
Ok, Sony's E3 press conference just wrapped up and it was a good show. The #1 thing announced tonight was NGP now known as PSVITA information. There are over 80 titles in development for PSVITA which will be launching at the end of this year (I know what I'm getting for Christmas) including the likes of Uncharted, Wipeout, Modnation Racers, Little Big Planet, Street Fighter X Tekken and a new Bioshock title. All of which looked great and cant wait to play. I was super excited to hear that there will be two SKU's at launch, a $249 WiFi only model and a $299 3G + WiFi model with 3G data being provided exclusively by ATT which I have no problem with since i dont live in New York or San Fransisco where ATT service is apparently bad. All in all it looks like the 3DS is gonna have some well armed competition by years end and that this guy is gonna have a new gaming device, Sweet!

Fuck Logs
I recently took a trip to my local fishing hole to #1 catch some fish #2 test out my new popper and #3 feed some geese/ducks. All of these goals were met and everything was flowing right along. That is until about 2 hours after using the popper it got snagged on a tree turned water logged fishing deathtrap. I tried everything i could think of to free the lure from the clutches of the long dead hands of the tree before me but nothing was working. After 15 or 20 minuets of fighting and thinking of ways to get my popper back i finally gave in and accepted that i was gonna loose the recently invested in bait. So with a few tugs and a last ditch effort to just rip the lure free the line broke off at the knot holding the popper to my line. Even though i knew it was gonna happen i was still pissed about it because i had just bought it 2 days earlier and had yet to land a single Bass on it, although i did somehow manage to snag a 3 inch bluegill on the 2 inch floating grasshopper. After the line snapped back at me i stood stared and decided that one day I would walk out to said deathtrap of a tree and take back my lost investment but that it wouldn't
be right away. So someday soon maybe when it gets hotter and i feel like taking a bit of a swim I will venture to the spot where the "life" of my new friend was lost and reclaim what is mine from that goddamn tree. So watch your back tree, I'M COMING FOR YOU!
