cool DS games coming

A minimalist and yet feature-packed puzzle/platform action game, N has you as greedy ninja driven for gold.
August 12 release


Twenty years as a dynasty of gaming, Madden NFL 09 aims to deliver the most immersive gameplay, the richest online offerings and the most comprehensive feature depth in the history of the franchise.

August 12 release.  



From the very tiniest forms of life to the intergalactic level of existence, you are in control of life itself in this simulation game by Will Wright. Beginning in the primordial ooze, players create a character from DNA that will grow, survive, and mate as it evolves from a single-celled organism to a fully-formed member of an establishing species. As more and more creatures inhabit the world, and as evolution forms the future, your species will join herds, clans, even civilizations. The more advanced the creatures of the planet grow, the more complex the strife of survival becomes.

Sept. 1 release



This entry in the Star Wars saga casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice", unveiling new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny. As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time anywhere in videogaming.

Sept. 1 release



A "cool" and "extreme" (according to the game makers) version of the classic space shooter. Blast the aliens before they reach the bottom of the screen and attack your firing base. This "Extreme" entry in the series features wild new lighting and graphic effects to give the game a trippy look. The DS version also allows for a DS Paddle Controller (plugged into the GBA slot) to give simple and accurate analog control.

june 17 release.............yesterday!!!!!


No..........I didn't forget guitar hero.  I will post that tomorrow!

great sniper movies to see

The first one is Enemy at the Gates. Gotta see this guys!!!! 2 snipers hunting each other! F 'ing awesome!!!!!!!!! I watched it by accident one day. I am so glad I did.

Two snipers go head to head amid urban ruins during World War II's greatest battle: Stalingrad. Ace Russian marksman Vassili Zaitsev (Jude Law) is an unwilling hero to a nation that needs heroes. But his number may be up when the Nazis send in crack shot Maj. Konig (Ed Harris) to take out Zaitsev. What ensues is a deadly game of cat and mouse.


Tom Berenger (Platoon) is back in uniform again, as a veteran marine sniper reluctantly teamed with an Olympic-medalist marksman (a pre-Titanic Billy Zane) in the jungles of Panama. Their mission: assassinate a Noriega-like revolutionary and others in his "crew" -- and get out alive. Panama and Australia provided the locations for this tense action film.

Kinda an older movie, but still great. We used to watch this one in the Marines, alot. Parts of this story are true. I won't put any spoilers in. put one part was taken right from Barrett's(most famous sniper. Barrett .50 cal!) book. I lucked out and actually got to fire a Barrett .50 cal in Cuba. Tight, tight groups. We were putting groups onto a 1 inch by 1 inch white sticker..............We were only 3 feet away, though!!!! Ha!! There is only one guy in the world that makes the scope for the rifle in Virginia. He makes them in his garage. The front barrel isn't connected to the stock. only the reciever. It "floats" above the stock. Anyway............good flick.



Great flick. You have probably seen it. Wahlberg is a great actor.

An expert marksman (Mark Wahlberg) is coaxed out of seclusion by colleagues who need his help in preventing a plot to kill the president. But he soon realizes he's been set up when he's framed for the assassination attempt. Can he elude the law long enough to bring the real culprits to justice? Danny Glover and Michael Peña (World Trade Center) co-star in this political thriller based on a novel by Stephen Hunter.


If you know any more great sniper flicks let me know! I have sniper2 and 3 in my netflixs queue. I haven't seen them so I didn't list them. I have a documentary of sniper school, also. If they are good I will blog 'em.

DS Stylus

Here is a flexible stylus for use on the Ds.  I found it on ebay today and bought it.  I have around 50 DS games.  Mostly puzzle type games.  So it will see alot of use.
 clicky

It is a little expensive for a stylus, like 15 bucks total w/ shipping.  But, it will probably be worth it.

Dog Gone

As it turns out I might be a little responsible for the old man blowing the dog away. The old man came to the door and asked if the two dogs belonged to my neighbor. I said "no". So Mr Magoo(giant glasses, giant hearing aid, and moved really slow.) basically slaughtered this dog on it's own back porch. The shotgun he was wavin' around was pretty cool, though. It was an assault shotgun. All black with the shells on the side of the weapon. My nieghbor is still in the hospital, but his wife came home from work and my wife told her what happened. She left out the part that it was my fault. Oh yeah, I didn't tell my wife that part of the story either. I guess there was an awful mess in the backyard. I guess I should of been paying attention to the dog situation instead of playing video games............Mr. Magoo pulled the trigger though. Not me.  The dog "Chili" was a total asshole anyway.  It was mean and chase my kids and wife alot.
