Can I haz new name?

We need a new name and an infusion or spark of something or the other? Any ideas? Suggestions? I'll talk with you guys/girls on here. LET'S GO, Calvin, Erick, Maricor, and Nikki! COME ON! haha

Numero Uno

This blog will be infused with new talent pretty soon, so look forward to that.

Rest In Peace to all the famous people that have died quite recently. My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family of Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, David Carradine, Steve McNair, Ed McMahon and many others.
Iran has seen quite a roller coaster in recent weeks as well with the joke of an election that was held. Protests and riots ensued, but hopefully better times will follow.
The Lakers got Artest bolstering our already championship-caliber team, so watch out NBA in 2010!
Congratulations to Roger Federer on surpassing Pete Sampras as the man with the most grand slam singles championships! Too bad, I still prefer Pistol Pete, haha. Way to put up a great fight, Andy Roddick. USA!

I'll leave everyone with this to brighten the spirit and mood around here. Happy Belated 4th of July, everyone!

No Updates? Here's one!

No one really reads this blog and no one is going to read this, but I still write because I love writing. Let's see, who's on this team now anyway?

Erick - Only blogged like once, probably will never blog again. Busy with work and school and what not. Maricor writes on this site more, ha!
Calvin - Really busy with work/school/navy, so he gets a pass, lol. Miss him, though.
Michael - Never blogged even once, busy with school/research and other stuff.
Me - I'm still putting stuff up, but no one reads, oh well, that's life.

Hopefully, we update more evenly as a team, but it probably won't happen. Here's for the best? Also, here's a cat that wants a potato chip. Too bad, you can't get everything you want. Oh life, you can be so cruel at times.

Doesn't the cat look so sad? Aww.. too bad.

Nick Swardson Won't Let Fame Change Him

Reuben showed me this one, lol. Nothing will change Nick Swardson, nothing! Coke is still in his everyday life, ha.

Bill Kurtis Is At It Again!? This Time: Floyd..

Flushy versus Quads! Now, that's just plain sick!?

Nothing can be quad Aces, right? It's the 3rd strongest hand in texas hold 'em, but watch this video. Quad aces get beat by the best hand in the game. This video is just sick, it's amazing, and jaw-dropping. Holy cow is all you can say..

Music Time: "Water Line"

I just watched "Pride and Glory" the other day with Edward Norton and Colin Farrel, and the movie ended with a great ending credits song. The movie was pretty good with your dirty cops and clean cops, but I wrote this because of the ending credits. Without further ado, here's Sage Francis' "Water Line".

Music Time: "Such Great Heights"

One of my favorite groups, love their stuff, and I heard they're coming out with new songs. I can't wait, hopefully this holds us over. I'm also trying out youtube's new size and border feature. Orange border, figures, doesn't it?

Chris Paul is Omgosh, Did You Just See That?!

Sorry, everyone. We're super busy! Not Erick, he's just lazy, haha. Calvin's still doing push-ups and what not. Everyone wish him the best. Finally, I'm here posting here and there. Here's Chris Paul with, just watch.

This Week in Games (February 15 – February 21): Previews

Disney Sing It: High School Musical 3: Senior Year (Wii, PS3, 360, PS2)(February 17th)

Disney continues to capitalize on their big-hit franchise by releasing name branded High School Musical everything. “High School Musical” is the singing and dancing movie craze that has engulfed teens in its grasp. This game is the third iteration in the “Sing It: HSM” series with each game releasing sometime after its movie. A microphone peripheral is an option for 10 more dollars because it’s a karaoke based video game. There are 25 songs spanning all three movies with old and new crowd favorites ranging from “We’re All in This Together” to “I Want It All”. Another difference in this version is the background videos that accompany the scrolling lyrics. Instead of the music videos like in previous games, scenes from the movie play. High School Musical fans can expect this on store shelves this coming Tuesday at $39.99 w/mic and $29.99 w/o. For the PS2, it’s $29.99 and $19.99 respectively.

Street Fighter IV (PS3, 360) (February 17th)

The long awaited release for Capcom’s most storied franchise is finally upon us. “Street Fighter IV” is the continued journey of Street Fighter 2 with high-res 3D graphics on a 2D playing field. There are 17 playable characters with 12 SF2 characters reprising their roles and 4 brand new characters, Abel, Crimson Viper, Rufus, and El Fuerte. In the home version, the 3 bosses (Seth, Akuma, and Gouken) will be playable, and 6 characters will appear (Dan, Fei-Long, Sakura, Cammy, Gen, and Rose). The core fighting gameplay is still there, but some new additions have been added with ‘Focus Attacks’ and ‘Ultra Combos’. ‘Focus Attacks’ are simply counter attacks that the player can activate by pressing or holding the medium punch and kick buttons. The duration of the button hold determines the strength of the attack. ‘Ultra Combos’ have a special bar that fills up when one absorbs damage, and it delivers, well, an ultra combo of punches and kicks. Capcom’s highly anticipated fighter will be releasing at a store near you for both next-gen consoles at $59.99.


Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned (360) (February 17th)

The first batch of episodic content for “GTA IV” is hitting stores this week exclusively for the Xbox 360. Along with the new bag of weapons and vehicles, the player will assume the role of Johnny Klebitz, a member of the LOST motorcycle gang. In “GTA IV”, the main character, Niko, encountered the LOST gang in one of his missions, but “GTA IV” and its expansion pack are two separate entities. There will be some similarities that Johnny will encounter, but they will be in Johnny’s perspective. Some of the new weapons will be grenade launchers and an sawed-off shotgun. Weapons won’t be the only new add-ons because new multiplayer modes have been added. Some of the new modes are ‘Chopper vs. Chopper’ and a variation of certain modes in ‘GTA IV’. Rockstar’s episodic pack will hit stores on Tuesday for $19.99, but there will be no disc because it is a download code. Disclaimer: The ‘GTA IV’ disc is required to play ‘The Lost and Damned’.
