Coming soon…

The New Year is finally upon us and with that, the retail madness is quickly starting to die down. F.Y.E., job-wise, isn’t too bad, but I really want/need a full-time job. This small area is making me realize that unless I find something soon, I’m going to have to move. It’s unfortunate, but there’s just nothing here in Massena, NY and for some unknown reason, this town and its officials don’t seem to want to try and bring in new, big business. Instead, they cater to the elderly and local business…
So I’m still job hunting, just so it’s known 
On the video game front, I traded a few games on Goozex and got a few in return. inFAMOUS was sent out, as was Ski-Doo Snowmobile Challenge and 28 Days Later on Blu-ray. Quick note, NEVER buy 28 Days Later on Blu-ray, it looks like absolute shit. Seriously, the original source was shot on a handycam essentially so naturally it isn’t going to stretch well. Thankfully Tropic Thunder (Blu-ray) should be coming in the mail soon so I’m looking forward to that. I got Madden 10 in recently, a few days ago actually, and so far I’m NOT impressed. I threw that up on my offers list on Goozex last night. I’ll stick with Blitz: The League II on my 360 for now. For now, I’ll probably sit back and enjoy some Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures on my PS3 and wait for some games to pop up on my want list on Goozex.
Other possible newsworthy notes; I got Callan to join Twitter. We canceled our cable from Time Warner which will save us about $70 a month (score!). Callan and I are driving to Chicago in February to see Utada live at the House of Blues, should be a fun drive (/sarcasm). That’s about it I think. I hope everyones’ New Year and Christmas went well and here’s to a better 2010.
December Update
Dec 20th
It’s been a while since I last posted. My bad. Resigning from Home Depot and starting at F.Y.E. took up most of my time about a month ago, and not I’m working a lot of closings so basically I eat, sleep, play games, and work (not necessarily in that order). Speaking of games, I tried Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins…both were disappointing, Borderlands especially. It just felt so empty…I just couldn’t get into the game. I know it’s a hack n’ slasher but if I want that, I’ll just install Diablo II and have some fun. Dragon Age: Origins wasn’t quite as disappointing, but after playing Demon’s Souls, DA:O was VERY easy. No real challenge…very bland textures…and the story just didn’t really pull me in.
Such is life (for a gamer). I’ve been enjoying (and loathing) Modern Warfare 2 for the last few weeks. I’m closing in on level 70 (Prestige). Hopefully they re-balance the game a bit more and tweak a few things, otherwise the game, while frustrating, can be quite a bit of fun. I also dabbled in a bit of inFAMOUS and Uncharted 2 recently. Both fun games, though Uncharted 2 has definitely lived up to the hype. Good story, great humor, and it looks fucking fantastic! Other than that, I’ve been trying to slowly build up my Blu-ray collection and I’ve been plugging away at finishing up my Christmas shopping. I think I’m all set, though I might pick up a few small things, but we’ll see. Looking forward to Christmas this year, and Callan’s been in an unusually cheerful/Christmas-y mood, it’s nice 
Until next time, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and happy Holidays.
Proud new owner of a PS3 Slim
Sep 2nd
Finally, after almost three years of waiting, I am finally the owner of a PS3 Slim. Err…well, I will be. I just got the tracking # from Sears and UPS has yet to update the site. But I should have it no later than Tuesday. I’ve been itching to play SOCOM: Confrontation for a couple weeks now, as well as Burnout Paradise so these next few days are going to take forever. Thankfully I got the SOCOM bundle which included a Bluetooth headset so I’ll charge that a day before the PS3 arrives. My HDMI cable arrived today so I believe I’m all set. The only thing left is to decide where to put the PS3 when it gets here Best of all, after 2 $50 Sears gift cards and $24 in Bing.com cashback, the total cost after tax and shipping is $205.02, AWESOME! 
I also got an e-mail last night from Centercode that I’ll be getting the Logitech MK700 in the mail soon. I tested this a few months back and really enjoyed it. Aside form some minor issues in aesthetics, a good product overall. So far this week has started off quite well. I should hear back about a job soon too, so really, just a lot of good things happening for once, it’s nice.
