The holiday is upon us again, but this time we will rejoice in the gift of FRAG!
For those not n the know:
What is Winter-een-mas?
Winter-een-mas is a holiday of sorts. More specifically, it is a celebration of video games and the people that play them. Video games allow us to do things, go places, see stuff, that we couldn't do in real life. They can be an escape from reality, a release after a long day, a fun activity with friends, or just an enjoyable way to pass time. They give us a lot of entertainment. So why shouldn't they be celebrated?
When exactly is Winter-een-mas?
Winter-een-mas lasts for a whole week, which is always the very last week in January, the 25th through the 31st. The entire month of January constitutes the Winter-een-mas season, very similar to the "christmas season", where people begin to gear up for the holiday, and get into the spirit of things.

So whos up for some online console fragfesting?
get out there enjoy your gamers and rejoice!

Saturday Morning/Night Sunday
My weekend was awesome!
(there were a few personal bumps and evil people trying to destroy everything but hey that happens)
Woke up Saturday morning and the kids were tired from the night before (they had thier 3rd annual Halloween in august costume party which was damn cool) so me and Regina laid in bed cuddlin and that led to SOME SERIOUSLY AWESOME SEX!
We did everything but whip out the toys!
I love morning sex
Just makes the day seem so much brighter! Colors pop, birds sing, and damn did I need a nap! hehe
But we had drama so we took car of that and went shopping for our BBQ the next day.
Just a little friendly get together...
I have to say that it was one of the best I have had all summer (unfortunatly a few people were missed)
Bryan, Brady and thier spouses were really cool and provided a great atmosphere.
I finally had a BBQ where there was conversation and eating (Brady is a serious food man)
and drinking (not a beer left in the house!)
and we stayed out till around midnight.
Even a skunk tryed to crash the party (I got covered in coffee for that)
Today was relaxing and I spent the day trying to occupie my wifes mind
to get it off of the past and the tragedy that occured today.
Hope i did well...
Well I am off to occupie the mind and body of the woman I love
favorite quote of the day:
"Wake Up America! Theres Sex to Be Had"
so go try some stuff!

Booth Babes....
I like video games
I like Sex
I dont like when the 2 mix at gaming conventions for no apparent reason
other then to draw attention to the product being sold,
I dont need to see a nekkid chick to convince me to try your game
give me something more,
tell me about the game
show me a clip,
or jeez at least get the nekkid people to learn about your damn game!
and with that a clip of the useless nekkid people at lepzig:
sigh
Think they play any games?

Busy boy, busy boy, busy boy...
I have had one hell of a busy summer!
phew
Between BBQing, Video gaming, tech toy gathering, drinking, Dancing, Camping and SEX (list not in order of frequency)
I have truly out done previous summers, I think!
wow
another summer gone and once again I have gained all the weight I lost
sigh
at least I got to hang out with brave traveling Anthony!
(even helping you move was fun!)
and through all of this I realize
I miss Brady
we had great convos on video games, bluray vs hddvd, and what it is I actually do during work!
somebody tell him to txt me so I can have his number...
(also tell him I am a serial txter and hope he has unlimited txts)
which leads to this question...(not that it has to do with me and Brady)
Has anyone every Cybertxted? (sexually)

Life in the woods, in the 21st century
I am currently sitting on the porch outside a one room cabin in Elysburgh PA.
It would normally be a fun experience but on the wonderful August day
its 54 degrees and raining
maybe tommorrow will clear up and be a better experience for us,
as you can clearly see my idea of roughing it involded my power book with verizon evdo card,
iphone, and psp.
ahhh
I am truly a "21st century digital boy"

and now time to offend....
I have had enough of religion!
It has no place with its racist tendencies and warlike need to "spread the word"
we need to get it out of our Government and back into the churches where it can rule those who feel
like spending thier time with it.
Its ability to spread FUD is outrageous, and I can never under stand how people eat this up...
The catalyst behind my recent ranting outrage is the $27 Million Creation Museum in Petersburg KY.
I read and reread the name and culdnt believe it
CREATION MUSEUM....
my mind reeled in wonder and horror,
What could be in it?
I mean as far as I knew according to religion things have always been this way from day one (well after the expulsion from paradise) there hasnt been a evolution of man or animal.
so what could they have to say possibly?
Fortunalty for me: Ars takes a field trip: the Creation Museum and as usual first i looked at the pictures before reading the article and guess what I saw...
DINOSAURS!
SO RELIGION HAS ONCE AGAIN JUST ACCEPTED SOMETHING THEY FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL WITH SCIENCE ABOUT AND ADDED IT TO IT STABLE!!!
WTF?
Oh man this is too much:
is that really Eve with a Velociraptor?
are you kidding me?
who is buying this crap?
sigh...
The other thing that made me annoyed was this:
Atheists identified as America’s most distrusted minority
In truth I think the Atheists are less likely to blow shit up or fly planes into buildings.
Who the fuck are these people to say anything?
The same people that tryed to kill Galileo? Galileo was required to recant his heliocentric ideas, declaring the immobility of the sun to be "absurd in philosophy and formally heretical", and the mobility of the earth "to be at least erroneous in faith";
Fuck this...
can we get a Atheist in the White House please?
(I know the answer is no but ommon)
when will todays religions go the way of ancient religions?
I mean come on,
Its obvious that the current religions were dreamed up not that long ago, seeing as the people before
had a different belief set and they did pretty well for themselves...
Maybe life was better under Odin and Zeus...
the fact of the matter is religion has no place being involved in the ruling of the nations of the world...
look at the middle east,
a girl was stoned to death for loving a man of a different sect, by her OWN FUCKING FAMILY AND THE POLICE!
The stories coming out of Afganastan of children and women starving to death because they werent allowed to leave the house or have money without there husbands (who were killed or arrested during the conflicts), and the one sad story of the one womand who couldnt take it anymore and ventured out to get food and was given bread by a man who felt pity only to have the both caught, the woman stoned and the mand had his hands removed.
or How about Christianity being used to show how its ok to enslave many africans because the were "souless subhumans who needed to be brought into the light of god"...
riiiight,
fire away at me,
tell me I am wrong and that god is merciful and just and blah blah blah
to that I say
"Until there is proof of the existence of god I will go the way of deep agnostic belief....and remember, its not for me to disprove his existance, the job is yours to PROVE it."

Living la vida loca!
Ok I have been super busy doing other things and I have neglected my blog so lets get up to date:
My Xbox360 died again....blah!
I returned it yesterday and got the new one with the HDMI out, which means it has the updated new and improved
heatsink (its a rev b 360)
My Ps3 is getting lots of attention latley as more games come out that I want to play and my netflix blu ray rentals show up,
but theres one thing missing from my PS3 life ONLINE GAMING, I am about to be reduced to playing with strangers if my friends dont get on the horse, sigh....
oh big big announcement
ROB SHAW HAS A WII!
So now i can really say with my full belief behind it,
the wii is not meant for gaming by me...its more of a distraction with its kid friendly games.
as if by some wonderful magic
while the kids were playing wii bowling and I was watching thier grandma came into the room and engaged in wii bowl!
I look at my wife and said "See I told you!"
(I have been saying the wii is for kids under 16 and Grand Parents!)
I am now on the lookout for something for the Gamer Demographic (boys 16-38 i think)
I have also been having lots of sex (had to include that do to previous post)
So there you have it,
and
I AM BACK! more to follow.....

On video games and sex...
So after much attempt at a tough stage I have managed to beat God of War 2!
Now I am sure I could have done it earlier except all the interesting and very fulfilling sex I have been having.
Now I like video games ...a whole lot.... but sex is well sex!
And the fact that a few mail order packages arrived just made things really interesting even more so then normal,
actually we have so many items we have tryed out I was thinking up setting up a seperate blog just so people know whats good and what to save money on, but sex and video games get in the way!
I am now about to engage in Devil May Cry 3:SE and finish up Resistance and GRAW2...
but first i need to get some cheesecake and do some other interesting gaming!

Busy busy busy boy
Wow its been a while since I posted...
well between my ps3, 360 (not so much cause I am afraid to turn it on lest it die again)
PSP and...
My wife who has helped my rediscover how much of a dirty dirty boy I am
and how much I like bondage!
who knew?
Turns out I think I am pretty good at it too..
the actual problem is that finally passing out together around 3-4am is starting to tire me cause I have
to be up at 7
granted I am fresh faced and grinning ear to ear
I am still tired.
Hey guys remember when you get a chance, smack your girls booty before after or during and tell her you love it!
Girls:
do the same.
be happy to make each other happy

WTF! 2 thousand FRAKKIN 8!
For those that dont know, I am a big Scifi (pronounced Skiff-E) fan.
Now I have been watching every episode of Battlestar Galactica and there were
some good ones and some misses, but all in all its a good show,
but WTF is up with the long ass breaks?
What has happened to T.V. scheduled seasons now a days?
I remember when JR got shot
you waited one off season of like a few months then WHAM back in business...
but now a days
seems like every show I like gets almost a year off...
plus they take a few months off in the middle of the season...
they get more days off then public school
I cant believe that on March 25th 2007 I saw a AMAZING SEASON ENDER for
Battlestar Galactica to be concluded sometime in 2008...
FRAKKING BULLCRAP....
by the way
What kinda Satallite radio they got channeling "All along the watch tower" across light years?

covered in BBQ sauce...my wife does most of the prepping (shes Vegetarian, loves me and thinks meat is good for human consumption, she just has her own views and reasons). Meat is yummy!
and
Shutdown Day
Why would I want to? for a whole day? does that mean anything with a computer in it or computer like?

Back again.....
So I went to the Gym with my lovely wife and daughter and decided to step on the scale....
yep so in the 2yrs since i was last going to the gym on a regular basis, I have gained almost all back (I was 301 then went down to 245 now I stand at 288 ugh)
So I am back on a regular regiment of Gym and attempting to eat healthy (ie only what my wife makes)
I have also cut down smoking...
so yeah I am annoyed due to both those things and the general nuttiness that is work (look I avoided saying evil things!!!)
I happen to like 3 things that contribute to health issues
sigh
1. Beer/Alchohol: A good beer can really make a meal taste good and 2 -3 can just relax every tired muscle in your body, kinda like having a massage therapist in a glass bottle and tasty too!
2. Smoking: Goes hand in hand with Beer or even coffee, the whole not healthy part annoys me though...
3. Food: lots of tastey food in many ways...hence 288lbs!
So most of the tension caused by releaving my self of the 3 things i like could be released by hitting people, but really does that solve anything?
I think mass murder applies here
but I should have limits...
stupid people (ie Most of the people in penn station) are on top of the list
and sales people (I still havent caught one to sacrafice to the God of Electricity)
and
NJ drivers...
yep
i could cut the population by a third and still not be done
eh or maybe i will just have 1 beer 1 smoke and 1 spare rib...

Recreation time...
Jericho is getting interesting this season,
I suggest you watch it...
I really dont need to mention that Heroes is amazing do I?
I do have a problem with NBC and Fox, that CBS has addressed
My Cable hd channels went out on Monday so I got a whole lotta nuthin in my recordings for 24, Heroes and Prison Break. I had to seek other means to get my shows. Meanwhile the same thing occured again on Wed. (I know I have a technician scheduled to come out but I am leaning towards verizon fios anyway) and I got to watch Jericho in the CBS on demand HD menu, why cant the other channels do this?
Is it that big of a deal? CBS even throws a few commercials in and I dont mind, I got to see the show I wanted and it was hassle free.
I am a SONY Fanboy
(I like the Xbox360 too and I want a wii but make no mistake about it)
That being said, I am more of a videogamer then sony fanboy, so there
Downloaded some games for me PS3:
Qbert: Thumbs up to a classic!
Lemmings: Childishness and silly puzzles in 720p!
flOw: Has to be the weirdest game I have ever played on a Playstation platform, no points no loud explosions, no save points...just relaxing music and a creature that you control, that appears to be of the microscopic type. You control it by moving the sixaxis around to make it swim in those directions and it eats other things on screen, you have to play it i guess. I like it and so does my daughters.
Tekken: Dark Ressurection: the same Tekken we all loved on the PSP no on your PS3 in HD and very pretty. My only complaint is I think I need a new tv, the crt overscan is too much sometimes. Thumbs up to Tekken!
Next week MotorStorm!
Xbox360: Crackdown: sweet ass kicking Goodness!

The world has gone nuts...
OK,
Today I read that Sony got angry over a rumor posted by Kotaku and they black balled them, then a few hours later and a phone call they made up...meanwhile Sony settled their patent standoff with "patent squatters" Immersion and it appears rumble is coming to the PS3! and while that crazyness was happening Sony sent out new Dev kit tools (called Playstation 3 Edge) to ease the game dev teams worrys!!!
meanwhile...
Music execs pulled out of thier collective asses that Apple's DRM is whats hurting music sales and that Apple needs to open the DRM...which is a funny thing to say to Apple, considering Steve Jobs recently went on a tirade about ditching DRM completly....did the music execs pay someone to investigate this bs?...So their idea is not that DRM hurts sales but Apple's DRM, sigh
Turner Broadcasting was hit by a worm that worked a known flaw in Symantecs software, that Symantec (heres the kicker) had a fix for posted up for download since May and they have been urging everyone to use it...
I have nothing to say about that....

Update and my relationship with the Gods...
So I just set fire to a G5 with sparks and flame firing from the the rear fans (i was holding it up and staring in it at the time)
all I did was plug in a firewire cable,
sigh...
Looks like I am going to have to Sacrifice a few sales people....

I appear to have pissed off the god of electricity...
So, I thought it was bad and annoying when my Xbox360 DIED without reason on saturday and gave the red ring of death...
couldnt get worse right?
Monday:
I have firewire ports not responding to each other (trying to figure out with machine has the dead ports and all signs say both now)
My external hard drive just decided to day its gonna go into meltdown and almost start a fire under my desk and in the process losing about 96gbs of data.
My GM's pc just gave up the ghost and rick has been working hard to bring life to it some how we even went out and bought a copy of vista upgrade but that needs to start in the os (?)
SIGH
3 hours left...

Joining the masses
For awahile now I have been trying to figure out what people do in Starbucks when they are sitting there for hours.
So due to a series events that all lined up just right...
here I AM!
So got my coffee, 1 Venti Americano (good stuff I suggest everyone drink one of these a day)
Laptop open, its nothng special to look at unless I rotate it to tablet mode but it is running Vista, hopefully no one will notice and want to talk, I am just here to observe and follow the Prime Directive!
So laptop open, and surfing the net...
people coming in and going out,
few people been here looks like for the long haul, i suppose i look like this right now,
not much going on, people reading
chatting, writing, staring...
this is all not very interesting
wait
theres wildlife in the back
ahhh the local crazys... babbling to everyone half smoked cigarettes in their mouth
you know
for all its pomp and arrogance...besides the tmobile hotspot deals and readily available electricity this place is like Dunkin Donuts -donuts.
I think its the mood lighting
It sets your internal clock wrong so you dont notice how much time has passed
they dont really bother you either
and I have noticed the clientele here is between the ages of 15 and 20 majority, girls..
how odd, I always thought guys drank more coffee and the older generation
then again I hung out in a dunkin donuts for like 16 years...
and it was alot like this Starbucks in Upper Montclair
all I need is to look out the window and see some kids hacking and Morty walking around babbling nonsense to feel at home...
ah well...

Windows Vista: Day 3 (work)
So today I decided to plug in my wonderful partially disabled (due to Vista incompatibilities) Tablet to the big wide work network and I saw some new activities:
Vista Prompted me to setup a network location as soon as it started because I had wifi on, and being security minded, it offered me the option of Private or Public network (incase you forgot Public means firewall goes up and there is 0 sharing between you and everything else, i.e. you cant see them they cant see you) so on my wifi i set public and then plugged in and shut wifi off...
I have a ip assigned to my Tablet already so thats taken care of (we are a non DHCP location) and as soon as the plug snapped to port up comes the "Choose a new location..." prompt and I choose Private this time and proceed to see the Netowrk shares loading.
Now there is a repository for temporary files that we use to transfer files around, aptly named 1TEMPORARY, this little g4 400 with 80gb drive that sits under my desk is super important to connect to for all users...
guess what?
For some reason Vista wont inout the User and password right directly out of sharing (in its defense I am probably doing something wrong or I need to be more patient) but it kept adding T1501 to the beggining of my username (thats the computer name) and I know i have quite a few pc users on 1TEMP so there has to be away....
Next I tackled the the elusive Flashplayer issue
and with the help of this (http://weblogs.asp.net/derekh/archive/2005/08/16/422743.aspx)
I finally have it running!
Yay....

Windows Vista: Day 2
I have made a promise to myself to not use any macs for this whole weekend to get the nice full experience of Vista without distractions, and I have to say, its not bad...
Except:
So I set out to make Windows Media Player to play nicely with my 360, so after I checked my file sharing abilities (in a very user unfriendly menu), I make sure everything is as it should be and reboot...
and start my 360
start the the media center setup on 360 and media center on pc...
input 8 digit code (not sure what this is all about)
and...
IT WORKED!!!
unfortunatly I have no media on here so i navigate to online stations and attempt to check out mtv when
"THIS OPTION REQUIRES THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER INSTALLED"
wtf?!?
(now a little backstory: since I loaded Vista and started running aim, i noticed my friends icon, titled "weemee" doesnt run anymore because it says i need the newist version of flash which have tryed to install again and again over a matter of hours)
So i discover flash doesnt work for Vista,
oh well...
Besides that and some odd problem where my aim keeps logging off and Vista drains the batteries like crazy
oh
and the fact my tablet cant sleep anymore (felt like the processors were going nuclear)
everything is pretty cool.
I forced Divx player to install and run under a Win Xp sp2 emulation, so I was able to connect to my bedroom Mac (which is getting a little long in the tooth) and share some movie files to my Vista and played a episode of FireFly cross network, unfortunatly the codec couldnt install into media player so I used divx player.
I look forward to the future of this OS and to testing it this week at work in a office environment.
