Sony’s Ps3 Price Cut Deception……OH NO!

WHY SONY!?!?!? WHY?!?! Sony PlayStation 3 needs a price cut!  Not the PlayStation 2. Sony confirmed in the early hours Tuesday that it will be dropping its price by $30 for the PlayStation 2 to $99.99.  As a Consumer, I Demand JUSTICE! PlayStation 3 needs a price. Besides, the industry analysts have been saying it’s been needing price cut for the past couple of  months since the PlayStation 3 is the most expensive games machine on the market by a hefty margin.  They having taking so much out the PlayStation 3 it should be lower in price.  So far, Sony has taken out the flash card readers, SACD support and PlayStation 2 compatibility(Which was stupid).  Sony does not need 3 gaming platforms on the market, more focusing on the PsP and Ps3.  I say Take the PlayStation 2(slim) off the market and put in the backward compatibility for PlayStation 2 games, slap some kinda price cut on it.  Pew Pew Sony and make the other gaming consoles QQ.

This is TrueGamer, New!

BoA Meets MapleStory

MapleStory is a free, side-scrolling 2D massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by the South Korean company Wizet. Several versions of the game are available for specific countries or regions, and each is published by various companies such as Wizet and Nexon. Although playing the game is free, to change your character’s appearance and gameplay enhancements are purchased from the Cash Shop using real money. MapleStory has a combined total of over 50 million subscriber accounts in all of its versions. MapleStory North America Global, for players mainly in North America and outside of East Asia, Southeast Asia and Europe, has over three million players.

In the game, as a player you travel through the Maple World, defeating monsters and developing their character’s skills and abilities as is typical in rpg. Players can interact with others in many ways, such as chatting with other players, trading items, and playing the minigames. Groups of players can band together in parties to hunt monsters and share the rewards. Players can also join a guild to interact more easily with each other and do guild dungeons.

By personal experience MapleStory is a good game, however, the experience you get from killing monsters is not that great. Once, your around level 80,  it’s takes hours and hours of grinding to get to the next level and your barely on your 3rd job class. That’s why i switch over to a private server XD. Private servers ftw!

Basically, BoA wants you to make a MapleStory video with her new single “I Did it For Love” and you win prizes.

Utada – Video 2 @ Miami Sephora

Here is another video I recorded at the event, this particular video is a lil Q&A where the MC asked some questions from people who submitted from the website/text messages.

I have a few other videos to upload but I’m currently in Belle glade Florida so when I get back I will post the other videos :3

Utada – Video 1 @ Miami Sephora

Here is a lil snippet of Utada at the Sephora event in Miami Beach. The clip is rather short but it features Utada doing a little dance to her favorite track in her latest album “This Is The One”

Reinterpretation of the Fourth Amendment

To summarize the article, a Yale scholar suggests that the current interpretation of the Fourth Amendment is not correct.  Currently it is interpreted as protecting one’s right to privacy, and forces courts to determine whether it outweighs security.

The Yale scholar believes that the Fourth Amendment does the opposite; namely that it specificly protects the security of our personal lives.

It also states that a “shift to a focus on security allows us to bypass the question of when, exactly, a target’s privacy is violated, and deal with the seemingly more tractable question of how these practices would affect our sense of security if they were known to be in broad use”.

In other words, if adopted, this interpretation would serve to protect our rights better (as in many cases it encompases the standard privacy interpretation), but it also means that governments could spy on their citizens as long as that fact is always kept secret and never revealed.

Meeting Utada =D

MEETING UTADA!!!! YAY!!!!!!! She was so cool!!! and shes so tiny!!!!! XD XD XD its was a great day! Left my home around 12 and got there really early, when we got to the Sephora store we got our wrist bands and grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to Sephora the crowd got a lil bigger but we were still pretty close to the front so it was all good still. After a couple of hours of waiting (about 6 hours or so) we finally got into the store and the mayhem began. (Even though outside the store there was so much mayhem, mopeds getting hit by a car, free monster energy drinks and free hats/stuff woot!!!) When we got in they played about 3 songs in the album and then Utada came and the crowd went WILD!!!! After a few questions from the MC/e-mails and fans Utada reveals that;

Her favorite anime is Ghost In the Shell. ( TV Series)

She prefers to live in Manhattan than in Japan.

She LOVES hot dogs with everything on it.

Her favorite track in “This Is The One” is “Me Muero”

She is NOT going to release English versions of her Japanese songs. (that’s how she feels about it because the Japanese songs are perfect the way they are)

ALSO!!! another CONGRATS goes to my friend Janet who won the Grand Prize raffle and got to get up and close to Utada!!! OHHH SO LUCKY *envy*

and now pics!!! =D, I will have videos up but they will take some time to upload, so now BEWARE! cause there is a good amount of pics.

Closer…

2 more days… QQ

Say NO to Electric Cars!

It’s become a widespread solution that all our gas troubles will be solves when the government finally decides to release the electric car to the wide-scale public. Our dependency on fossil fuels will decrease (you still need grease to easily move parts around) – true.Charging the car from what I know with current methods and currently active electric cars you get a decent amount of charge for the mileage but you do have to charge it per day or two sofar (gas is $30-70 depending on your car but will usually last you a week). Charge per watt per day adds up on your electric bill at the end of the month (less your bumming off people in the road). Solar panels on electric cars can help out alot and is an nice soulution but remember that all rechargable batteries stop holding a charge at some point in theyr lives. Most laptops carry a 6-cell battery which tends to die out 2years or so down the line with constant use and cost about $180-250 if you lucky to replace. Now a car is going to consume alot more battery than a laptop does. It might have more cells yes, and it might go out in 3-4 years as opposed to 2… but if a 6cell alone cost about $180 and that car is going to need atleast a 20-cell? Thats a hella expensive battery rechargable or not.

Solution? Forget the Electric car and say hello to the Air Powered Car (and NO i’m not talking about Sailboats or sticking a giant air catching banner out your window). Originally researched in france, its a 4 seater car (models in production have a strong resemblance to a buggy or yaris) with 3-4 giant cans of compressed air at the bottom.  Essentially the car pistons are moved and pumped using compressed air as opposed to the traditional spark and flameburst. The car runs alot cooler, they can still use gas stations (with equipment they already have – i.e the tire pumps), it doesn’t weight as much (you have 3-4 tanks of compressed air on the bottom of your car that weight abit but you could very easily lift each either by yourself or with a friend). I doubt you could pump it up using the lil hand pump your bike used but you can still fill it at home with the right equipment. No carbon emissions same as electric so car pollution will no longer be a real threat and without the 3hour charge time. Rus 200 miles othat one charge of compressed air and if thats not enough just carry spare air canisters in the trunk if you need a backup.

Now granted most gas powered car parts cost about $400 anyways and yes with going electric the technology IS going to change but either to more tiny-er components and switch/circuit boards as opposed to radiators and trasnmissions. It’ll be good for another economy driver helping the automobile and repair industry, but we’ll still be investing and paying more  for these electric cars overall than we do for gas and current car parts.

see it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY1KNxhd2Zs

Theyre also talking about making it somehow recycle it’s own power and generate it’s out backup supply (I’m guessing when you push the breaks or something) but that part isnt implimented just yet. Overall for the better and cleaner more cost effective to us method – air powered cars are idealy the best solution.
