A Great View of Online Video Gaming At Its Worst

I don't play a lot of online multiplayer on my free time. I do play more for review purposes, but if I had my personal preference I would stick more offline then online. This video that I have taken from YouTube is an example of what I don't like about online gaming. First off your playing with a lot of 13 year old kids who swear like a sailor and make games not all that enjoyable. This video however takes a lighter look on online shortcomings and to me its pretty spot on. The video does have some rather poor language which is why I battled on whether or not to put it up, but the underlying message is rather funny and these days we all could use a laugh or two.

Really Funny Video of Kid After the Dentist

I hate the Dentist. This kid may hate the Dentist after the drugs wear off and he is old enough to understand how many people have watched him on YouTube. I was on Twitter yesterday and one of the people I followed linked to this video of "David After Dentist" its of this young kid who is still a little drowsy after surgery. Some of the things the kid says and does is rather comical and is all in good fun. I hope you enjoy this clip.

Checking Out Circuit City as it Goes Out of Business

I have to say I have always been a big fan of Circuit City. I would always avoid going to Best Buy in favor of going to Circuit City. The two stores always had the same prices or at least close enough but I always liked shopping at Circuit City a lot more. As we all I would assume are aware of, Circuit City will soon be no more. Today I got an e-mail saying that they had Digital SLR cameras 30% off, so after dropping my car off for an oil change Jenn and I went to go check the deals out. What I found was really quite depressing.

Federer Falls Again to Nadal at the Aussie Open

I am not a big fan of Rafael Nadal at all. In fact I will root for just about anyone on the men's tour besides Nadal. There is just something about him that just really irritates me. It could be his girl pants, but ever since he won his first French I just have never liked him. As many of you know my favorite Tennis player at the moment is James Blake and will be until he retires. I am still rooting for him to win a major! However back to the topic at hand, how does Federer keep loosing to Nadal? This Aussie final with Nadal and Federer reminded me far to much of the Wimbledon final of 2008.

We Invested in a Wii Fit

Since Christmas Jenn and I have been trying to pick up a Wii Fit. After I tried the game at my parents house I was convinced that it would be a good investment. With my new job and with my constant disregard to workout I thought what better to get me to work out then to invest in a video game. Will I continue my daily work out regiment? Who knows, what I do know is that Jenn is seriously into it.
