Games...Video and Lacrosse alike...

Well, since my Xbox died (RIP) a few days ago...I've been shoving new life into my PS3. System updates, downloading and trying Home as well as just kind of re-inventing my love for my Playstation again. I've been replaying through Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, as well as the PS3 version of Bioshock. An amazing set of games that if you game at all you must play. And speaking of Bioshock...good news! the new Gameinformer magazine should be shipping soon and this months covershot is alllllll about the sequel, Bioshock 2 (Sea of Dreams?). So i cannot wait for that to arrive. I need something fresh gaming ways to stick my teeth into after being highly dissapointed by Resident Evil 5 (pretty game, but wayyy to repetitive and slow)
On the gaming yet non-gaming side of things (take THAT grammer!) a VERY long day of Lacrosse tommarow with playoffs for the team, and then on Sunday we just right back into it, starting up the next weekend season. This one will be older players (7th & 8th) so should be a new fun expierience. Long days, but they will be long days under the California sun doing nothing but lacrosse, and since im waiting on new gaming news, and it stays slow like this with Transformers news...48 hours of Lacrosse is not such a bad thing...

later gators...

My Blog starts with this?....

Well here we go. What a way to start a blog. I finished lacrosse practice tonight, got home to do my first post here and was sitting down to play some Halo Wars on my Xbox360 (great game by the way if your a Halo fan or not its a fun play) and i received a Red Ring. Now for those of you who are not Xbox gamers or haven't received a red ring for that matter, its a problem that started as an epidemic when the Xbox360 was released that basically is your system saying its not playing your games anymore. You're kind aren't welcome here is the gist of what it means, and its a horrible thing too many people have gone through. So clearly not a great way to start the day (or blog i should say).

So RROD (Red Ring of Death keep up with the acronyms) aside, an interesting day of news from all the different aspects of my life. In lacrosse news lots of huge upsets all over D1 college lacrosse, but personally my favorite news of today is Director Michael Bay announcing on his website today that he will be pursuing Frank Welker to voice Soundwave in the new Transformers film. For those that didn't grow up with Transformers like i did, Welker voiced Soundwave, Megatron and other characters from the iconic franchise, as well as many other voices from all over peoples childhoods. So as an original G1 fan this is very happy news that takes some of the sting out of my RROD issue...

So not a bad first post, more to come. I'll be looking to snag a new Xbox soon, but with playoffs this weekend to coach with the team for lacrosse, guess its not a bad time to loose a distraction.
