I was at Best buy the other day with my family after we ate at a restaurant, I didn’t even plan on buying thing, well my dad wanted to get some DVD movies.  Anyways I was just looking at some games and I just remembered that I wanted to try out Battlefield 2, so I looked for it and I saw it for $9.99, I was like hey! that’s not bad.  So I bought it and I was really surprised how good the quality and how fun overall the game is.  Its totally one of my favorite games to play now, next to Test Drive Unlimited that is.

I really like how the Bots act, because they are actually SMART! there not so dumb as in Battlefield Vietnam where they don’t do a damn thing and In order to win I have to kill them all.  Its stupid. But in Battlefield 2, you can actually have fun and kick the other teams asses.

You can be the Commander, Squad Leader, Squad Member, Or Solo.  I have tried being the Commander but its really hard unless you are playing with real people, other than that I just let the computer be the commander much more easier and you get to have a ton more fun.  So I prefer to be the Squad leader of the Alpha team, it really doesn’t matter what team you are on. But you have awesome guns and they really sound real, well much more real than any other war games I have played.  The cars in the game are really realistic, they shift gears and they go a lot more faster than the ones in Battlefield vietnam.

This 29-range digital multimeter is a compact, auto-ranging, digital multimeter ideal for testing in the field, lab, shop or home.

Doesnt Read at all.

1out of 5

Cons: No Reading, Inconsistent Signal, Doesnt Work

Best Uses: Nothing

Describe Yourself: Power User

Primary use: Personal

I got this multimeter work a few times and then it doesn’t work at all. Doesn’t read any thing I test. I tested a 9 volt battery and it said it had almost 20 volts. I don’t even need to be testing anything and it reads 20 somewhat volts. This is the worst Multimeter I have every got. I don’t recommend this Multimeter to anyone on the planet. I even replaced the fuse inside with a new one and that still didn’t fix the problem.

Hey everyone,

Today I am going to write a small little review on a local band called In Kahootz.  So lets start? :)

Well they play mostly classic rock and blues and their quite good at it actually.  The band members are, Dan/Guitarist, Matt/Drums, Jim/Bass and they also all do Vocals.  The guitarist Dan, hes the one that inspired me to play the guitar.  he’s also the Tech Guy at our school so I get to hang with him almost everyday.  They play at local places like Bars, and stuff like that.  If we ever had a party I would be honored to ask him to play at our house.  The other 2 members I don’t even know. But hopefully someday I will.  They do have a Myspace, hopefully someday they will have their own website.  So check out their Myspace (below) for a few songs of theirs and where they are going to be playing next.

In Kahootz Myspace Page

Additionally,  Check out their full song list here.

I also fully support In Kahootz and Would be glad to sponsor them someday :)

Cheers!

I recently bought this game and I am very pleased with it.  Its a M.O.O.R Game (Massively Open Online Racing)  by Atari and Eden Games. This game rules.  You can drive around on 1,000 + miles of road that is synced to real time. So if you go from point A to be Point B in the real world say if its 50 miles and if your doing around 70 mph its going to take you just about the same time in the game. Its really amazing. The cars are soo awesome They sound even if the were real cause they were supposed to be sounded with a real car. My favorite car is the Ford GT, Tops out around 215 mph :) and its a perfect roaming around the island car. There are also bikes in this game as well.

Now the quality of the game is really good.  Its High-Def  so you would need a HD TV or a HD monitor to enjoy the game but if you dont analog is still pretty good.  The black marks, the wind, the water, the sun it all looks real and even sounds it too.  You can stop somewhere and you can hear the birds chirping away and when you are in the city you can hear dogs barking, police and people.  Its really cool.  The fact that you can drive to a car dealership and buy your own car and then drive to a tune shop and tune it up to make it go faster. Its not a easy game its very hard and takes time to build up money. But if you like racing games then this would be awesome

Now lets talk about the hardware.  In this game you can buy the Logitech G25 racing wheel which allows you to drive it like a real car, With the H pattern shifter and even a clutch.  The horn even works :) I really wanna buy this steering wheel. This will burn a hole in your wallet but well worth it $229.99Buy it here 

The Requirements are:  (it does require a pretty beefy machine)

  • Operating System: Windows® 2000/XP and above
  • Processor: Intel P4 @ 2.4Ghz or AMD Athlon 2800+
  • Memory: 512 MB RAM (1 GB RAM recommended)
  • Hard Disk Space: 8 GB free
  • DVD-ROM Drive: 8x Speed
  • Video: ATI Radeon 9800 256MB VRAM or Nvidia 6600 GT with 256 (though I reconmend a Nvidia Gforce 7600gt or higher)
  • MB of VRAM (Video Cards with vertex/pixel shaders 2.x and
  • above are recommended)
  • Sound: DirectX® 9.0 compatible sound card
  • DirectX®: DirectX® 9.0c included

Well I recently bought a new flash drive at Staples for $19.99 Its a SanDisk Cruzer Micro U3 2GB.

The Cruzer Micro is well made, there is no cap cause its retractable USB connector, so that means you will never lose your cap to your new flash drive anymore. There are soo many features on this flash drive. I will list a few:

  • Enhanced for Windows Vista Readyboost
  • Skype Certified
  • USB 2.0
  • U3 Smart
  • up to 8GB (512mb, 1GB, 2GB, 4gb and 8gb)

Well those are just a few to list. Now if you want a certain color, it going to be hard, They only give you Black, Titanium (which I will talk about a little later), Purple and in a 3 pack ONLY there is Red, White and Blue which you can only get in 2Gb.
