Buying consoles...

The next generation has come, according to the gaming world. Yes, all around us there are newer technology and new ways to enjoy the way we play video games. So if you have a special item on your wishlist, get ready to get the greens out of your wallet because there is are many ways to get your hand on one. Prices start to go higher as the holiday season approaches more and more yet we have only a limited budget when it comes to buying those things that we want the most. Remember: Even if you don't get your hands on a console right away, it's not the end of the world, folks. There are plenty of more opportunities to get one. First, I'd like to say that eBay is a last resort. Many times there are buyers who have paid a good amount of money for a console but the sellers wouldn't send them what they've paid for. Belive me, I would know. (Some) Game stores are valuable to fill you on the information when they would be getting a new shipment of them hence you can be prepared. Some websites track where consoles are sold and the quantity that the seller has; that is also very useful. Before you really get the opportunity to get a console, think to yourself: Do I really want this? Is this something I won't be wondering what if I had I bought another console? Be very sure or you may lose a lot of money to this decision.

The very reason for this post is that today I can annouce that I, myself, have got my hands on a Wii. I don't want to argue with any console fanboys about which console is better. I'm just making a statement for the very reason and I can proudly say that I have no regrets. Now for the Lesson of the Day:

13. Be cautious when buying a console. Take careful steps when thinking how safe is the sale or if you really desire it.

Superbad Review

So I went to a theater to see the film on Saturday (I think). Anyways, seeing as this was made by the guys who did The 40 year old Virgin and Knocked Up, I kinda expected it to be a great film. And it was. This movie was badass. It really went the whole mile when they showed some scenes that were kinda explicit even for a R-rated movie. They just put it out and show the audience thier kind of humor. This had balls and quite literally too if you go to see it. I was laughing throughout the movie and felt as if I was part of the characters. When I saw it had some teens in it and their problems, I had chills that this might be one of those movies with cheezy endings where the characters have that emo/popular/nerd esque kind of feel to it. But this had nothing to do with that. These were real unique characters who have their own different perspective on different issues. I'd say that this is one of the top movies of the year I have seen yet. I really hope to see more films from the creators. Their films haven't ceased to amuze me yet. If you get the chance, see this movie!
