Happy Wars

Just read this over on Kotaku.

A free online multiplayer game for the Xbox 360.  If this is true, it's about time we saw another free game from Microsoft.  So sick of new 1200 point price point for all new games.  I'm so not paying that much for a gem when it's an arcade tile that is short.

If you check out the video on the page, if you have played Fat Princess on the PS3, then you are going to call this game a rip off.  There is a difference but to me it is pretty obvious where they got the idea from.  Next thing you know will see a Horde rip off that's free.

Blah, My Hori Controller Isn't Helping

I'm currently trying to do the spot trick in horde to level up to level 100 faster.  The first night I ran it, no problems.  Ever since that night, two nights ago, it glitches somehow.  I thought my cat hit my controller the first time but the next time I actually saw it.  It slowly jumps to the left a little.  So throughout the night it yanks to the right a little and within like 15 mins it's not spotting anymore.

You would think it would eventually go all the way around but I think it stops at some point or it does move up higher and can't see the weapon to spot if it does go all the way around.

Needless to say if this wouldn't have been happening I probably would been right at or have it level 100.  I wonder if I can spin the controller, it hit the spotting on the spin and stay in place the whole time.  Guess its something to try if it will spot without moving.

Well I've been grinding out the achievements in want in this game.   I'm down to 5 and 3 I could get.  Getting to level 100 a couple times and reuping will take a little time.   getting 10 kills on Minh with Ramm is a pain as it's chance.  

I'm definitely not going for Seriously 3.0.  That's just more time than I'm willing to give to a game now.  Also getting the socialite achievement for playing all the different types of special matches Epic puts up.   Depending how long I keep the game I might play it once a week to try and get it but not going to push to get it.

So hopefully I'll be wrapping up this game in a couple weeks.

This is my dream car.  I love the Viper and I'm happy to see it back.

The Green Latern

I finally got around to watching The Green Lantern yesterday.

It wasn't a bad movie but if you're looking for action, you won't get much of it from this movie.  This movie focuses on how the first human ever became a green lantern.  They did a good job on the story though. 

After watching it though, if you don't know much about the green lantern, then this movie seems to be the last you'll see of him on the big screen.  They need to take that yellow ring that was made and make another movie involved with that so it can flow back into this first story since the yellow ring was made in this movie.  Watching him train to become a better green lantern wouldn't work to well for a movie but a quick glimpse of some training would probably help the crowd understand how he got to the point he is.  That and I don't think earth is the only planet in his district to watch over, so he should go to another planet to protect another species as well.

I wonder what the chances are they will make another movie with The Green Lantern is.  The action will have to be bumped up and show more stuff with the ring as he should be skilled in the 2nd move for sure.  Here's hoping they don't completely abandon this hero.

Ovo Timer

Nothing like a timer that's free and has descent reviews.

iPad 3

Well, I officially own an iPad 3 now.  It'll be my wife's but I do have one so I can see how much difference there really is besides just reading on it.

The best part is I got it for $150 but that's on top of the iPad 2 that was messing up.

My wife's iPad 2 hasn't worked quite right since we've gotten it.  It has major issues on connecting to a network and then keeping the connection.  Sometimes it just wouldn't connect at all.  Didn't have if we turned it off, hard reset it, or whatever else we found to do online.  It strictly had a network hardware issue.

With in the past couple weeks, the button wouldn't actually work either.  It just wouldn't take a click and being stuck in an app with no way out of it is no good.

So took it to Best Buy yesterday as we have the warrenty on it.  Talked to them and they can't send it off to repair because the iPad 2 32 gig model isn't made any more.  So it's a scrap and you have to get a new one.  Here is the better part, since it's actually a manufacture issue and not any issue caused by us, we got to keep the warrenty without having to pay for it again.  That made my day. 

Of course since we bought the iPad 2 back in Feb, they already took off some of that deduction for the time frame of it not being new anymore.  So that added another $20 onto my bill.  I can't really complain though, with only having to pay the $100 to get the newer version of the iPad, I got to keep my warrenty, plus the warrenty does start over being a new product, and having to pay for the oldness or whatever they call it for the depreciation value of the product.  I can't complain paying $150 and walking out with a brand new iPad 3.

I got everything setup on it for my wife yesterday, so all is back to normal for her.
