When I finished pledging for Delta Chi I finally had a lot of free time to do whatever the hell I wanted. So I decided why not get a video game that will take up many hours of my life that I will never get back where I could have been out socializing or doing something important.
I was a huge fan of Knights of the Old Republic a game also made by the same developer Bioware. I was expecting something great that would suck me in so that instead of going out and partying I’d want to stay inside and play games.
THE GOOD STUFF
The story is quite involving as all of the speech is voiced over with many professional actors involved. The options for what your character can say gives the user complete control.
Combat is a bitch to learn, but when you figure it out the system works efficiently and can be quite fun. IMO, Allowing the user to stop time to choose what power to use makes combat too easy.
THE BAD STUFF
The framerate often gets choppy slowing down the highly detailed worlds
Gameplay gets repetitive as many of the planets have similar structure
Mass Effect ends wayyyyy to quickly as I beat the game in under 20 hours and I suck at video games.
Overall
Fun to play with an excellent replay value. Definitely worth purchasing or asking for this Christmas.
The Virgin Festival presented by Virgin Mobile once again came to Baltimore’s own Pimilico race course and put on quite a show. For some odd reason the brilliant minds at Virgin Mobile play in Baltimore one of the sketchiest places in the world a place where you have a .001 percent chance of getting shot by a stray bullet.
But, it being in Baltimore provides a wonderful concert experience.
The Vag. Festival isn’t meant to be a fun camping event it’s one of those times when everyone just gets piss ass drunk and sweaty. That doesn’t make it a bad thing. Security was extremely lax meaning one could get away with anything. At other concerts I’ve been to security is on the prowl everywhere from the parking lot to inside trying to bust kids toking up, but down at Pimlico if you don’t see any underage drinking or smell the sweet reefer you’re not really at Pimlico and too drunk to function.
The line up I saw went something like, “Shout Out Out Out Out, Cheap Trick, Amy Winehouse, Incubus, Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals, John and Sasha Digweed, The Beastie Boys, The Police, and Modest Mouse.” The beginning of my day was rather hazy, but from Amy Winehouse on I’m good.
Amy Winehouse the beautiful the talented and also the worst performer that I’ve seen. The worst band ever is The Upwelling they opened for Third Eye Blind and absolutely blew. Amy Winehouse’s vocals were sick but maybe her make-up got in the way because I don’t think she moved once. Absolutely zero stage presence my friend Phil said, “Amy Winehouse was the Gnarls Barkely of last year.” They both have one good hit song, but they both sucked live.
do us all a favor amy go to rehab stop doing coke and eat a cheeseburger
Incubus and Ben Harper both rocked with stellar performances. I’m definitely biased towards these bands because I love them both. I had seen Ben Harper the year before but never Incubus. When Ben Harper sang better way it sent chills down my spine because the song was so powerful.
Take your face out of your hands
And clear your eyes
You have a right to your dreams
And don’t be denied
I believe in a better way
note this was not at the vag festival
After the Ben Harper set Randi I left our group to go get some food check out more of the festivals offerings and the notorious dance tent. I’ve never been to a rave, a club, or anywhere where dancing like you’re on drugs is the cool way to do it. John and Sasha Digweed had the whole tent bouncing and it was fun just jumping in there moving like an idiot. Everyone else was doing it.
i’m sure you have tried to play songs off of your ipod on a different computer or tried to copy your friends songs into your library both yielding absolutely nothing.
the other day i was in the skateshop working when this dude came in and starting talking to me. i was messing around with my laptop and ipod. he told me about podlift a program that allows you to sync any song from anyones ipod directly to your music library on itunes.
it’s simple and easy to install but even better then that podlift is free. click the image to be taken directly to the download site.
if your friend bob who owns a chili’s is like “hey your meal is free!” holy shit you get excited like a twelve year old who just discovered masturbation. or if matilda has ravens vs colts tickets, but can’t make it to the game and is like “hey want these tickets dawg?” and you’re all like “hellz yeah son” how sick is that?
the best kind of free shit is free money.
what the fuck free money mothafucka that shit don’t exist.
oh why yes it does. that is why there are stupid gameshows testing your knowledge against a fifth graders, the lottery (almost free $1 could equal $99,999,999 but my girlfriend tells me that you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning twenty seven times), and graduation parties.
i graduated from high school this year and boy was that shit great. i swear every other day cards would come in the mail from people i don’t know filled with money checks and words like “wow boy i knew you could do it, hope you don’t fuck up in the real world…. love, grandma” i even had a lame graduation party filled with more people that i didn’t know, but i still got more money.
now that the receiving part is over i have to give back meaning write thousands of thank you cards to those people that i don’t even know. all i want to write is that,
Dearly Beloved,
thank you for the money i believe i used it to buy a thirty of natural light which i consumed illegally and if you are a twat and sent me a check i cashed it and spent it on an xbox 360. man these graphics are tight as shit.
is the cool way to do it. John and Sasha Digweed had the whole tent bouncing and it was fun just jumping in there moving like an idiot. Everyone else was doing it.
