Yep… Sure as sh*t! Booting up my new copy of Gears of War 2 (Epic Games) was like coming home again. Wow! That sounded f*#king weak! Lets try that again. F*#king Gears of F*#king War F*#king 2 is F*#king GREAT!!!!! There… was that better for all you Speedypete fans out there?

First of all, I’m glad I didn’t wait in line with all the other geeks, pencil neck, limp dicks and poindexters last night. I think I may have had enough of that. What?… do I think I’m too cool for it? Your dam right I do!
So I went to pick up the game at GameStop around 11am… No Line! What a pleasure. It’s like I had a special in… Just walked right in and grabbed my game, and went home to play.
From the time I booted this game up I got that feeling. You know what I mean… That fight or flight adrenaline filled feeling of excitement. The same feeling when I went to see “Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back” and “The Lord of the Rings” for the first time. I AM GEEK… HEAR ME ROAR!!!!
Bottom line so far is the game looks great. Great graphics, great cinematics, great sound… I just forgot how good this one is. I forgot how cool the artwork is on this game. Looks kind of like a dark graphic novel.
There was also the introduction of a couple of new adversary’s and some new weapons. Now ya see how easy it is to make your fans happy Epic ? So far I am very happy with this game. I’ll let you know how I did over the weekend. Seeeeeee yaaaaaaa!

Just got a voice message from Gamestop that they will be opening @ midnight tonight (tomorrow morning), and I can come pick up my copy of Gears of War 2 (Epic Games)! Wait… you remember the last time I did this, don’t you? well check it out.. cue the flash back

Well anyways, I’m excited and at the same time ready to be disappointed. After Halo 3 (Bungie), I’ve learned to not to believe the hype of the fanboys. Just get the game and don’t expect sh*t. I haven’t been researching all the articles teasing the game, and haven’t even checked out any of the trailers. I just saw my first TV commercial for GOW 2 while watching Metalocalypse… Yea Metalocalypse (Cartoon Network/ Adult Swim). You don’t watch it? Well you suck!!! Anyways I’ll be picking up my copy tomorrow and I’ll tell you what I think… SO STAY TUNED YA GEEKY LITTLE PUSS BALL!

Dethklok Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have played through Star Wars the Force Unleashed (Lucas Arts) on a lower level and had no problem going through the Imperial Kayshyk Mission. But now that I am going through on a higher level, destroying the Tractor Beam at the end of this mission was a pain in the ass!… but I have the solution!
Let’s make it simple… huh?

1. Kill all Imperial Troops (and release imprisoned Wookies.. they’ll help you)
2. Pull all the electrodes out (they have electricity shooting out of them) and lift and toss them away with your force throw.
3. Grab the increased damage triangle (it’s the first one on the left from where you entered this part of the level)
4. Shoot the douche-bag in the AT-KT with your force lightning until he’s dead

the end

So I just read an article on technologyexpert about the recall of the Rage Wireless Guitar controller for the Nintendo Wii. I guess if you put the batteries in wrong, the f*#ker will leak battery acid (ouch! that’s metal!). Check it out:

Consumers are urged to stop using the Rage controllers immediately and return them to the place where purchased for a full refund. Remember, this is not a Nintendo product, just one that can be used with the Wii, so don’t bother contacting Nintendo.
You can contact PDP; strangely, the CPSC information for PDP says to call PDP at (800) 331-3844 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.pdp.com. If you go to PDP’s site, the only info you get is exactly the same as at the CPSC’s site (at least at the time of this writing), a copy of the CPSC’s announcement.
In other words: no new information there, move along, move along. If you want to contact PDP: only one way, via phone.

And guess where it was manufactured? Yep, China. Ooops.

Here’s the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s anouncement:
Hazard: A circuit board defect can cause AA batteries used in the guitar to leak if the batteries are installed incorrectly, posing a risk of chemical burns to consumers.

Incidents/Injuries: Performance Designed Products has received one report of a burn to a consumer.

I wonder when made in China will translate to use at your own risk!

Now enjoy some Morbid Angel

That’s right! I’ll say it again! I just finished Star Wars The Force Unleashed(Lucas Arts), and it was f*#king short! Let’s see… I got the game on the 16th, and played a couple hours (4). Then I played on the 17th for a couple of hours (4). Then the game wouldn’t load That weekend… so I returned it on Monday the 22nd and figured out the problem. So I played for about 4 hours on Monday and about 2 and a half hours Today. So that’s a total of 3 and a half days of game play. Yep… Kind of short.

Over all the game was fantastic. Great graphics, awesome game play, good story and characters… even the sound and score were impressive. I think my favorite part of the game was taking down Tie Fighters with my Force Lightning! I also took out a Republic Star Destroyer… WITH THE FORCE!!!!
I had fun playing this game… it was addictive… but I recommend you rent this game or buy it used. I have yet to try out the extras (except the training mode) or online play, but I’m not a huge online player. I think I could have finished this game in one day if I had more time on my hands… Yes I do have to work some times ya dork! And I don’t live in my Moms basement! Though I may end up there someday… with the way the current Economy is going! I’m depressed. Stay tuned for reviews of Prince of Persia, and the long awaited Gears of War 2!

Now for some GENGHIS TRON!

So I got Star Wars the Force Unleashed (Lucas Arts) a week ago, and it worked fine until last weekend. All of a sudden when I tried to boot up the game, either the screen would freeze up during boot up, or if you booted up the game from the dashboard, the screen would just go black and the drive would stop. I took the game back to Gamestop and they replaced it. I took it home and the same happened. So I went on the gamefaqs.com message board, and some one had the same problem. Some dude wrote the fix out, but I wanted to talk to technical support before I started dicking around with the dashboard. I called Xbox 360 (Microsoft) and some Indian or Pakistani lady told me to call Lucas Arts… so I did, and here’s the solution.

1. Take the game out and re-boot your Xbox 360.

2. From the dashboard scroll to the system page (it’s the purple one)

3. Scroll down to memory and press the A button

4. Hit the Y button (device options)

5. Now press XX LB RB XX and select Yes when the option comes up (some kind of maintenance thing) .

6. Put the game back in and re-boot your system

7. Commence you geekdome!

If that doesn’t work your screwed!!!
