Great Finds: Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64

The other day I was looking around at a Goodwill when I came across a box that had a complete Nintendo 64 with 2 controllers. I looked through the box and there was also a complete Model 1 Sega Genesis with 2 controllers in the box also.

I looked to see the if there was a price tag and to my surprise the price was $25 so I picked it up and took it to the cashier and she rang it up. All together everything was $27 with tax. The Genesis also had a game with it Sonic 2. This has probably been one of the best deals I have found in a while and I'm very happy I found 2 working game consoles for a great price.

Happy 30th Birthday Pac-Man

Today May 21, 2010 is the day that the great game of Pac-Man was created and one of the most iconic video games characters was introduced to the world. The game was made by Namco and distributed by Midway in the US. The concept of the character of Pac-Man came along when the Creator was eating pizza and a slice was removed. In japan he is known Puck-Man but the creator changed it to Pac-Man in the US because he said people in America perverted minds (He's right but the Japaneses also have perverted minds as well you can tell by the type of video game they make that aren't released in the US). This game was amazing it was a simple game eat the dots and avoid the ghosts and it got harder and harder as you progressed through the levels. They were many ports of this game to many systems, but it was the arcade port that had people going crazy. Kids would save their lunch money and head to the arcade to play after school. Pac-Man also had his own TV show and he has other merchandise as well so he was definitely a money maker. Buckner & Garcia in 1982 released the song "Pac-Man Fever" which went to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Everyone had Pac-Man Fever and the parents of these kids thought so which lead to the video game crash of 1983 and arcades were shutting down left and right. Lucky for us video games game back on the scene and have left our side. Pac-Man is an awesome game who could have though such a simple game would be so much fun. That would explain how Pong was so popular and it was even simpler then Pac-Man. Pac-Man is also great because it shares its birthday with the best Star Wars Movie ever made "The Empire Strikes Back". Pac-Man also had many other spin-offs and remakes like Ms. Pac-Man. May 21st is such a great day Happy Birthday Pac-Man (...and The Empire Strikes Back").

Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta the Final Verdict

Now that the Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta has ended I thought it would be a good time to do my review of the Reach Beta. Overall is was a great experience. My favorite armor ability was the jet pack. It was so awesome to be able to fly around and shoot people. The armor abilities were an awesome addition it changed up the game. I enjoyed the Invasion game type it was a very good and challenging game type. It was Spartans Vs Elites and the Spartans had to defend the base while the Elites tried to get in and destroy components of the base and escape with a generator. One of my favorites game types was Headhunter it was lots of fun to try to get kills and collect the skull(s) that get dropped by your opponent. You then have to take the skulls you collect and take them to the drop off point to score. There was also the arena which is for the more hardcore Halo players. In this game type you have season and after each season you are given a rank that shows how you match up with other players. There really isn't too much to say given that its a Beta. The Reach Beta feels like Halo should my only complaint was the control scheme but if you are like me a would like controls that feel like Halo 3 you can select the Recon control layout. There are bugs to be worked out but its a Beta and that's how its suppose to be. Based on the beta alone I plan to preorder this game soon. I hope that they have an awesome single player campaign to go with awesome multiplayer. Everyone who played this game remember to leave feedback about the Beta at bungie.net.

Halo Reach is set to release on September 14, 2010

World of Warcraft Video: Ulduar

This is another video my buddy showed me and its another awesome video the song in the video was performed by Cranius and Summergale.



Here are they lyrics:

Remember the time, baby

I ain't got no epics
I ain't got no achievements 'cause I ain't first rate
I can't even clear Naxxramas
But you know Ima be your favorite group mate
Invite me girl

Baby it's alright, now
You don't have to PUG around me
Everything's farmed, Maly, Naxx and Sarth 3D
The raids are boring, I don't wanna PvP
Wipe the raid 'til we get it right

Nothin' left to do, let's do something new
So come meet me at Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, waitin' in the queue
But I don't want any Ulduar
I don't need achievements or buffs please
I'm so ready now for Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, we need something new
'Cause I want ...

I ain't got no titles
I ain't got no fancy-schmancy epic mount
We can't go nowhere heroic
It don't matter 'cause there is really nothin' left
Where we goin' girl?

Baby it's alright, now
You don't have to pug 'round me
Everything's farmed, Maly, Naxx and Sarth 3D
The raids are boring, I don't wanna PvP
Wipe the raid 'til we get it right

Nothin' left to do, let's do something new
So come meet me at Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, waitin' in the queue
But I don't want any Ulduar
I don't need achievements or buffs please
I'm so ready now for Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, we need something new
Cause I want (to go to/no part of) Ulduar

Summergale
I don't got heroic raids
I do alliance raids
Listen Summergale,
Hop on my mechano-hog, and we'll never log
So listen Summergale
Once you PvP with me
We're gonna pwn, you see
So listen Summergale
When you're gankin' you won't go back,
You won't go back, yeah

Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta at a Glance

Yesterday May 3, 2010 the Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta was released for download. If you own the Halo 3: ODST campaign game disc you can gain access to the Reach Beta. The Reach Beta is the main reason most people bought Halo 3: ODST. In my opinion Halo 3: ODST is a good game and I still enjoy playing it. But enough about ODST lets talk about the Reach Beta. This post is not going to go in depth to much I'm just going to talk about a couple things. I do plan to talk more in depth in a future post but for now we will scratch the surface. At a glance its a lot of fun and the fact that its a real beta is awesome. You are able to go to bungie.net and leave feedback and the developers are going to look at the feedback and fix what needs to be fixed. What I like is the new abilities especially the jet pack and cloaking and some of the new gun are really nice. I'm a big fan of the pistol because it reminds me of the pistol from the first Halo. The Credit system is nice as well. So far I'm excited about the release of Halo Reach and so far the Reach Beta has made me even more excited. That's my view of the the Reach Beta at a glance in the meantime I'm going to continue playing the Reach Beta and come back with a more in depth review in the future.

Halo Reach is set to release on September 14, 2010

World of Warcraft Video: Don't Make Me Get My Main

This is another video my buddy showed me and its awesome the song in the video was written and performed by Cranius.



Here are they lyrics:

Please don't be deceived by my current situation
As unlikely as it seems, I'm a PvP sensation
A legend in my time, not a legend in my mind
So if it's all the same don't make me get my main

Make me get my main (ahhhh)
Make me get my main (ahhhh)

So if you don't believe I'll arrange a demonstration
I was trying to spare you the pain of death and devastation
But if you must insist on camping me like this
Well prepare yourself for pain, cuz I'm gonna get my main

Gonna get my main (ahhhh)
Gonna get my main (ahhhh)

Well you've worn my patience thin and inflamed my aggrivation
Now my main will make you wish you'd observed my exhortation
Well it's too late now for you cuz your camping days are through
So just remember through the pain that you made me get my main

No! Wait! Ahhhh!

You killed my main (ahhh)
You killed my main (ahhh)
