I love the United States, but it’s certainly a country that needs a ton of change. The following sign is proof that we still have tons of ignorance floating around. The sad thing is that people actually believe what’s on this sign. I’m voting for Obama to get some change in this country. Signs like the one below are certainly another good reason to vote for him.

Some gamers will be unable to take advantage of the “New Xbox Experience” which will require 128MB of empty storage space. I assume the only people in this category are those who purchased a 360 without a hard drive. Why anyone would do that is beyond me anyway.
According to Jason Townsend-Rogers of Gamertell, Microsoft is working on a way to fix this problem. He assumed this could possibly mean an external USB drive or free memory cards for certain 360 owners. I find that hard to believe. Unless Microsoft can find a way to make money with something, they aren’t going to pass out any freebies. While I usually take a stance against Microsoft in matters like this, I actually think people without a hard drive should be left to deal with it on their own. In a strange way, I’d rather not have the new “experience” but those of us with hard drives and internet connections will have no choice on the matter. We’re going to the new Wii-vatar-like system. I think it’s unfortunate we’ll have to scroll sideways through avatars of our friends instead of just scrolling down an actual list.

Some people have always said that the video game industry was recession proof, but I’m not so sure about that anymore. Our current “recession” has the potential to become a full-blown depression by 2009 if some changes don’t start taking place. If our economy goes much further down the drain, I have to wonder if buying video games will still be a priority for even some of the hard-core gamers out there. The housing and banking industries are in shambles. We’re currently in the middle of the second most expensive war in American history (if you calculate World War II by today’s money value) and if McCain somehow gets elected, that war will not end during his days in office, or possibly during our lives.
We decided that our “about” section doesn’t really let our readers know enough about us. To solve this, we decided to come up with a collection of questions and select 10 for each of us to answer. Hopefully this will let you guys get to know us a little better. Unlike corporate sites, we’re down to earth and basically regular gamers like all of you. Some of the questions are game related and others cover categories outside the realm of games.
The first set of 10 questions went to myself. Hopefully we’ll get Carlos and Juan covered later in the week.

For those of you Playstation 3 fans who haven’t popped in your GTA IV disc in a while, now’s a good time to get your ‘crime spree’ back on. Well, not exactly now because the Trophies patch has not been officially released. But it’s coming soon.
These Rockstar guys have a great sense of humor, check out my favorite Bronze Trophy -Warm Coffee — You were invited into your girlfriend’s house. Check out the Silver, Gold, and Platinum Trophy List below:
I seriously thought Techno Music went out with Z Cavaricci’s. Apparently not if it’s 5.1 Dolby Digital Techno Music. And the pixels, ohh the pixels. WipEout HD is beautiful. The quality of this game blows my mind for a PSN title. Online challenges and Campaign mode are both entertaining. Heck, you can even upload your own tracks and race listening to “Chocolate Rain”. Have to admit, I never played any previous versions of WipEout before. Maybe a bit of WipEout 64, but it was at a friends house and I had Peanut Butter all over my hands so I gave up the controller after the first turn. When I downloaded WipEout HD from the PSN, I had no idea what to expect. Beside it being a futuristic racing game… wiseguy.
We started this blog back in March, 2008 and decided to go ahead and turn my existing photography site into the wonderful gaming blog you see today. The reason for this was convenience and the fact that we had no money at the time. Our money was actually tapped out on a site called 1PStart.net which was up and running for one long week before AN Hosting shut us down. We somehow had one of our first articles hit the front page of Digg and we almost immediately locked out of our accounts. We were even locked out of FTP access and never got the opportunity to recover our files. AN Hosting is certainly another interesting topic for another day. The quick solution was to simply start up a new blog fast (since we only had one week invested in that one) and keep things rolling. I had my photography website (Kezins.com) up for a couple years, but rarely got any traffic and it wasn’t a high priority of mine. Changing things over to a game blog was simple and we already had the URL and hosting set up.
This video below was submitted to us, and we absolutley love it. Team Fortress 2 is a great game, and with 2-Fort being carried over from the original there’s nothing like seeing it upgraded to the most well known graphics. 2D Atari-esque graphics win me over any day of the week. The game is called Gang Garrison 2 and you can actually play this gem here.
We live in a world where there’s a pic of breasts on nearly every website on the web. The following photo may appear to be porn at first glance, but it’s actually a photograph of 32,000 Barbie dolls layed out to create a pair of breasts by photographer Chris Jordan.
This image certainly caught my attention with the creativity involved. I’m typically not a huge fan of nude photography (due to the fact that most nude art on the net isn’t creative). What’s truly awesome about this image is the fact that’s it’s not actually nude at all. It’s just a photo of 32,000 Barbie dolls that people threw away. The piece also makes some loud statements about consumerism in the United States.
