Social Networking/Blogging

So I guess the world, she is a changin. Now days everyone has a Facebook, or a Twitter Account, or a Blog. Wow seems a but much sometimes with everyone trying to scream out and say something to the world. Everyone is leaving such a mark behind that when we are dead and gone our kids kids will be able to look back on us and see how much we partied, and how many F Bombs we dropped online (PS I drop F Bombs on Facebook like crazy).

So it make you wonder. What did our parents do to get the word out when they were our age? They did not have cell phones. No computer to log on to the internet with. Shit they didn't even have a pager to "Beep" someone.(Tell me you all remember having a beeper. That shit was cool as hell!) So what did they do you may ask? Well I can not speak for your parents but my dad would cruise, or just hang out with his buddies in public. Now that sounds weird to say that right? When was the last time you just went and hung out on the block with your buddies. Shit I could not tell you the last time I did.

He is my point. With the ease of life we have today social networking has killed face to face communication. We no longer go see family, or friends. Instead we write on there wall, or look at what the Tweeted about to see whats going on in their life. Now this can be sort of a double edged Sword, if I may. When I was following a little person by the name of @OGOchoCinco, this guy tweets every 2 seconds! Really?! I do not need to know that you ate pancakes for breakfast. I do not need to know that you wiped your ass after crapping. I do not need to know about everything in your life. People in this world have become so obsessed with other peoples lives (Mainly Celebs) that they forget to live their own.

Now you say to yourself. "Ronnie how in the hell can you write something like this on a blog. You are talking about yourself here!" I am. You are 100% right. I am talking about the same shit that I am doing now. You want to know why? This is one of the only ways to be heard anymore. It is the only way to get my word out! Hell you guys do it. Right?

Anyway I hope that some people may read this and think maybe next time instead of talking to people online. Get together. Share some time with each other. Get to know each other on another, more personal, level. If I could steal a quote from one of the worlds greatest movies " Be righteous to each other." -Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

I said GOOD DAY SIR!

PSP and PSP GO/PSP GO Phone

Okay so this may be a sore subject for all you Sony Fan boys but here goes.

Why do they still make theses things? Is anyone really even playing them? I mean they were cool at first but now what do they have to offer? Games are really bad. I have yet to hear of any one game that has been "Amazing". UMD games? Who else uses this technology? I'll tell you.... NO ONE!

Okay so now that I got you Sony guys listening (and probably a little pissed) please explain to me why the PSP Go is better. Now that I have all the UMD games from me upgrading to the Go, I can not even use them! What the hell Sony!? Are you kidding me? Now you want me to pay to download games off your network? Wow thanks. Now you may say to yourself like I did : What about used games? Well forget it! Not going to happen. This is Sony's way of saying "F you Gamestop, and other used game markets!"

Now I am a big fan of the used game. You should be too! Game Companies make TONS I mean TONS of money off these games. Don't be fooled by the "poor little me" postings that these game companies post up online. Being able to trade my used games that I will no longer play is great! I get to buy a used or new game that I will. They, along with the game maker get money from this. I will forever agree with the right to sell used games.

Now lets get into this Sony PSP Phone. Sony, did you not learn for the Nokia Engage? That thing flopped harder then The Hills have Eyes 2! Please do not do this! Yeah okay its going to run on Android 3.0, whatever, so will every other phone on the market. So if anyone is reading this (I hope someone reads this otherwise I am wasting my time) comment and let me hear what you have to say.  I know I am not always right, but most of the time I am.

I said GOOD DAY SIR!

A little bit about myself

Well…Where do I start? I guess by telling you a little about myself. My name is Ronnie. I am a 27 year old from the great city of Cincinnati. Love it here. I am a combat Veteran from Operation Iraqi Freedom 2007-2008. I work Tech Support for a company that is based in Cincinnati. I talked on the phone pretty much all day!
I am an avid gamer. I love everything game related. I am a big Xbox 360 gamer so most of this will be about that. Right now I am pretty heavy into Modern Warfare 2. I mean who isn’t right? Its a great game. Everything you need, good weapons, great game types and even better…TONS OF PEOPLE TO PLAY! The one problem I have is the hacking/cheating. This is not a fault of the game creators but the players themselves. Now dont get me wrong here, Power to the People all the way, but I mean come on here! Its getting a little retarded.
Someone needs to clean up the leaderboards and get these people off of the game. They are ruining it for the other people that play for real. I mean look at the top like 10,000 people. They all hacked. Anyway just my thoughts on that.
Stay turned in for more of my thoughts on other games and the gaming world. Thanks for reading and look out for more posts to come.
I said good day

Quote from www.twingalaxies.com/

TwinGalaxies.com (Press Release) – Sep 20, 2010 – Official video game scorekeeping organization Twin Galaxies has announced that the World Record on the classic arcade game Donkey Kong has changed hands for the third time this year as former champion Steve Wiebe climbs back into the top spot with a score of 1,064,500 points.

The King of Kong

As you may have seen earlier today I had posted a quote from twingalaxies.com about Steve Wiebe regaining the Worlds Record Score on Donkey Kong Jr. This is great news for the gaming world! The guy is super nice, great dad and pretty funny to boot.
The guy is a great competitor. If you have not seen The King of Kong: Fist full of Quarters you should. Its a really good documentary. Billy Mitchell (or as I like to call him “Doucher”) over and over again tries to take the title away from Steve. Like a man Steve agrees to play in public in front of all the people in the arcade to show everyone that he is “The real Deal”. Even when he does that Billy throw out a VHS video of himself beating the score that was set by Steve. Long story short…Billy Mitchel is a Douche!
I think that in light of all that has happen with this record being broke, Billy Mitchel should have to also stand up and say that Steve Wiebe is the best in the world and that once again he beat him fair and square. Why do I say that you ask? I say it for many reasons. Video games are a very important part of children’s lives at some point. They are a great way to teach kids good hand eye coordination, and also helps them in learning to compete and to be fair and respectful. The way that Billy Mitchell acted about the whole thing was in bad taste. Respect the man and the accomplishment that he made. It keeps a dying game alive and it keeps people into the gaming world.
My word to Steve Wiebe. Congratulations Steve once again you have shown the world that you can beat Billy’s score and do it in front of the eyes of America. You have shown me that if you stick to something, and compete at a high enough level you can be successful. Keep all the good work! Please do not stop at this because you know that Billy will not. I love seeing a deserving person at the top of that leader board!
Have a great day Gaming World!
