Man killed over video game Apr 29

call-of-duty-4

In a serious act of good sportsmanship fail, some guy killed some other guy because the one dude (the dead one) kept beating him at Call of Duty (and yes, I am the L337 journalist).

Joseph Johnson, aged 28, from Chicago, is facing first-degree murder charges for allegedly killing a man while they played games together on an Xbox 360.Johnson and Danny Taylor, aged 24, were allegedly playing video games at an apartment when tension escalated and they got into a fight. This led to Johnson allegedly shooting Taylor in the back of the head.

Jesus. Sure, I’ve thrown my fair share of controllers, and maybe one time I broke my sisters finger — but actually killing somebody over a video game? That’s crossing the line. THIS AIN’T NO GAME, SON, THIS IS REAL LIFE!

So I guess to celebrate summer this year the Pepsi corporation has decided to release both Moutain Dew and Pepsi: Throwback

I guess it tastes like the Mountain Dew and Pepsi of the past using real natural sugar instead of High fructose corn syrup.
I plan to taste some before the week is out and I’ll let you know how it tastes…

Addicted to Rockband Apr 23

rockband-logo

Ok so I have become addicted to Rock Band! I had wanted to buy Rock band or Guitar Hero for a while now but just could not bring myself to pulling the trigger and buying the game because it’s so darn expensive. A couple months ago Robynn and I were cursing the local Target and found the $189.99 bundle in the clearance isle for $68.00. While Robynn plays it with me from time to time, and yes we have had the drunken Rock Band night, but over all I can’t tell you how sad it is playing the world tour alone. more…

Review: Star Trek Apr 21

trekposters4

Star Trek’s enterprising return means that it’s life, Jim – and it’s as good as you’ve ever known it.

Just when you thought that the Star Trek phenomenon had truly run its course, along comes J. J. Abrams’s stunning prequel to resuscitate the most enduring franchise in sci-fi history.
