Hey folks! I got back from the trip a loong time ago but never updated. My birthday was a pretty good day. I bought a game called "The Darkness" which I am having a lot of fun with. I even did a review for it on the blog site for my podcast. Click here to go to the blog site!

We have been working hard to make the podcast a better experience. Hopefully we can make a lasting impression on everyone.

Well folks! Thats all for now,

Hey guys I have some news!!!! I am going to UNCC now! YUP! Ku is no more in CPCC and is now in UNCC.
I also got the new Pokemon game called "Diamond" and I am hooked. It reminds me of when I played Pokemon Yellow. That game got me very hooked and I ended up having tons of level 100 pokemon. But anyways, I am working on trying to get them at least up to 30 right now.
In other news, I am going on a cruise in a week! YAY! I can't wait to go man because I need some time to relax. I am going to Raliegh this weekend too so I can hang out with the crew there and play with the new born baby Ritik!
But wait thats not all....
I also have my own podcast called "Knights of Nintendo". We have two episodes so far and I am working on how we can record the next one with me away on Saturday. I might do it at Raleigh through my brothers Powerbook haha. Now that we are on iTunes our goal is to keep the audience entertained no matter what!
Ok guys Im gonna let you go now.

Long story short.. I won a PS3 in an auction. I don't know what came over me.. whether it was me just wanting it to have all 3 Next gen systems or something else...
I was bidding on the system at a online auction no it was not ebay. It was a retail store auction that I don't want to give out information about. All I will tell you is that it is %100 legal. So I was bidding on this thing and I was at $405
just to make sure no one swoops in at the last minute and steals it I set my max bid to $485 becuase I did not think any one would bid so much that fast. Yeah I was dead wrong... haha. So at the end I did end up winning with $485. But don't celebrate just yet because there are two more costs that make up the total cost. First there was shipping... which was a whoping $30... then came the sales tax that pushed it up another $37 bucks......
Do your math and I ended up paying $552 bucks for the 60 gig PS3. The thing about this auction site is that it takes your credit card info first before registering to prevent from people backing out or not paying. Anyways whatever, I got a PS3 for a price I didn't expect to get it for. Still I have it and it will be connected to my sexy HDTV in a week or so. I went a head and bought a HDMI cable as well.. but I didn't pay a shit load of cash on those rip-off cables. Joystiq had a link to a cable that was just 5 bucks and plus 2 bucks for shipping. I will have the cable by the end of this week.
So anyways.. thats the recent bad/good news. Not sure what to call it... I am not getting any games for PS3 until July when Lair comes out. That is one game I am looking forward to for the PS3. For now though I have so many PS2 games to beat that I will be busy playing those on the PS3. All I need is a memory card reader for PS2 which is gay but whatever.
Alright guys! Im out

I got a new TV guys! A HDTV in fact! Its a kick ass TV and I love HD programs too. I watched Prison BReak and 24 in HD Widescreen and the experiencce was amazing. Plus! The TV has a built in suround sound so it was even better. I mainly got the TV for my 360 because it was starting to not work right on our 61" HD-READY TV. It would keep getting staticky when heavy texture would come. Guess what? No more static! Its all clear and it looks amazing.
The upscaling of the DVDs in the 360 looks amazing on this TV. I watched Krrish on it and it looked very clear and had a rich color to it. I also saw some of The Longest Yard on it and it looked great on it too. "Don't you get short with me Froto!" lol :P... You wont get it if you haven't seen the movie.

Godfather - Blackhand Edition is a really AMAZING game. It is worth every penny for the Wii. The controls are so slick and fun that it blows my mind. Getting headshots or kneecaps are not hard at all to do quickly. I have been waiting for someone to step up and make great controls like this. Punching and smacking people around has never been so fun and realistic. Shooting is even easier once you level up you firearm skills.

iPod Case, Movie and blasting some Locust Hordes!

Yeah I bought this off of Amazon its pretty cool actually, it comes with a belt clip and a strap to hand also. It came out to be 9 bucks with shipping so it is pretty cool. The company also had a orange one but it would end up being a lot costlier for some reason. Oh well Red is just as good! Now I just need to hunt down a good Cell phone case for my LG. I saw a Stingray case somewhere for 5 or 6 bucks with 4 dollars of shipping. Im not sure if I want it or not yet. We shall see!
Oh yeah I saw "Night at the Museum", great movie man. I was laughing a lot in it and I really enjoyed it. The comedy timing is great and the story touches you. Don't point at me if you go see it and don't like it though.. because I am just saying my opinion here. :P

Gears of War is an amazing game man! I am loving it so much. The ducking and shooting mechanics are really great. I wish I could tell you all about it but I don't want to spoil anything by mistake. I played Co-Op mode with my brother since I already beat the level he was on and he wanted to try it out. It was really fun playing it and being able to work as a team. Same thing in Kameo, We played the Forgotten Forest and The Water Temple. We got caried away and starting burning the trolls alive... lol. One of us would be Deep Blue and use slick to spray oil all over them and another would be Ash and breath fire on it. Kameo is a lot of fun to play. Lets not forget Burnout Revenge! I love that game, I am getting more used to the controls now and crashing a lot less :P lol.
Yeah... I am going to play the Wii sometime don't worry! I beat Zelda but I still have DBZ, Trauma Center and Red Steel to beat. :D... Also lets not forget Wii Sports!
This is Ku signing out!

Yo! New blogger kicks ass man. I love how fast and easy the editing is. I finally got a orange temple! YES! I used the one I used to have and used "Font and Color" to make it orange. :P
So what do you think? Good or bad? This is the darkest and still orangey color I could get.
man I am so tired right now. Anyways I beat Zelda lol and I loved the ending! The game was a really fun game to play overall and was very entertaining.
My favorite boss out of them all has to be the one in the Guerudo Temple, that fight was fun to play.

Ok so I got a brand new phone! Time came where I could upgrade my phone and I pounced at the moment. I did some looking around before the time came and I found a nice phone called the LG CU500. This phone kicks major ass I must say. The thing I love about this phone is that it has the sleek look of the RAZR but its not as thin which is one of the reasons I didnt want a RAZR. This phone is bulky and strong but still looks as good.

Ok so after this I have been playing Zelda a lot lately. I am pretty far in it too, I wont say where I am because I dont want to say spoilers. I also got myself component cables for the Wii which makes it look even better! :P.
Anyways, thats all for now folks!

The Wii is only 2 days away! To think that about a year ago I was eagerly waiting to buy myself a PS3... ha good thing I came to my senses. So two games for the wii have come in s far. The Gamestop called and said they had Dragonball Z Tenkaichi 2 ready to be picked up.. I am not going to go get it though.. might as well get it when me and my bro pick up Zelda and the system on Saturday at midnight. I am going to go see James Bond: Casino Royale on Saturday afternoon too.. So then after that I head to sleep for a few hours so I am not sleepy when I head down to GameStop around 11 or 11:30.

Thats all for now folks, I have to head to bed now... Im really tired.

Told you I would forget! Well as you can see from the tittle... I was excused from Jury duty... Why? well there was no reason specified.. It was an automated machine that you type your jury number in and it tells you if you are required to come or not. So I did that at work right at 5:30. The paper said to do it after 5:30. Then I typed my number in like I was told and then the moment of truth... "You are excused, you wont be called again for at least 2 years." So then I was wondering if I misheard it or something so I repeated it and heard carefully. Rest assured! I was excused and I was pretty damn happy!!!!!!!! WOOO!
Well other then that stuff!
Ria's birthday is on Sunday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIA! I wish I could be there but I will try and come over on Thanksgiving weekend and hang out with you guys again. We will see how it turns out.
The iPod video is working out fabulously! I even got the FM Transmitter that didnt work right with my PSP to work superbly with the iPod! Next step is to get a nice and sleek cover for the baby. Im doing some research and snooping around looking at the different covers available. I found a nice red leather case but it was for a 60g iPod Video.. I didnt want to risk it so I let it go. I am going to be searching for some more and try to find a red one for a 30g. The iMac is working great too! REALLY GREAT! The car is working insanely great too. So all the recent purchases are not being wasted :P.

I got an iPod! :) and Jury Duty :(

Lets hope I dont have to go! lol Im crossing my fingers for this one man...Seriously, I don't want to go at all.. but its either go or go to JAIL.. Heh yeah not much of an option. I couldnt think of a good enough reason either. Well its all up to fate now we will see if I have to go or not by tonight.

So... I got the iMac on Monday the 11th like they said.. BUT! I got it at 1 instead of 4! SO HA! A lot earlier :P
Anyways.. as you can see it looks really damn good. Plays like a beauty and runs like a.......hmm.... well I cant think of another metaphor.. But you get the idea ;).
The car is running GREAT! Im lovin every second of driving it. Muhahaha!!!! Just to show ya.... Im gonna post a pic of it. :)
Nah Im just kidding... Right now its time for my iMac to shine. My car can shine all it wants in my other posts hehe...

As you can see the iMac is BIGGGER then my TVv in my room!!!! hahaha.. It's so hilarious... Anyways... Im trying to get a Mini DVI converter so I can hook it up with my other monitor.. then its a party ;). Probably will pick it up when I get a chance to. BUT! Im getting something first. Im getting a external enclosure for my 160 hardrive so I can take it out of my PC and hook it up with my iMac. Then I can install windows on that baby. Of course.. I will take out all my files out of the hard drive first..

iTunes 7 is amazing.. yes. I DID buy a movie.. Just to see how it looked. It looks pretty great. DVD quality dude. Amazing quality actually... I am probably not going to buy another movie until there is a way to play them on my big screen TV. Hehe. iTV is the solution but Im not paying 300 for that.. I will be playing my Wii!! No.. not that kind you sicko. The Nintendo Wii. I am very excited to play it. I dont think I have EVER been so hyped and waited so MUCH for a system in my life. I usually just hear about them and say oh yeah that looks cool.. then one day it comes out and I get it.. But this time.. different story dude. Here is the story of a man named Ku who found himself turning into a full blooded Nintendo Fan.. well not that far. Hehe. Half/Full. :P
-------
It all started on the day my brother told me about a conference called TGS.. Tokyo Game Show. I was like "ok...fun?". Then I sat down and saw the screens for the "Revolution" as they called it then. I read through the article about the functions.. I was blown away!! The possibilities were endless man.. Since then I started to pay a lot more attention to Nintendo news.. Why?? because I was curious to know more..
Then my brother told me about a podcast called "Nintendo Now". I started hearing bits of it.. Was interesting to hear and fun also.. So I checked out the messageboards and roamed around there a bit. A few weeks later Nintendo Now became GoNintendo. I remember I stayed up till 12 to see the new website and name. I like it a lot.. It was a cool name simple yet straight to the point. As days went by I started to know the names in the gaming industry. I never knew the names because all I really cared about was good games. I never really payed attention to brands. They all were the same to me. Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft? All the same. But I was dead wrong. As I started to know Reggie, Iwata, and our lovely Shigeru. I started to like Nintendo a bit more. So what did I do next?! Check GoNintendo.com as much as I could!
The thing I love about GoNintendo is the staff in the podcast are very friendly and are themselves.. no masks.. all them and they talk to you like great friends. Well If I keep going I will make this update REALLY long. Would you read something that long? Not really. Dont lie. I will hunt you down.

Oh yeah!
I saw The Protector.. Man that movie was great. The action sequences were amazing. Nothing better then a good action movie for me. I love action movies! BaM BAM! The action was a mix between Jackie Chan and Jet Li.. It had a individual spark though. The story was very nicely done. Some of the movie was in Thai.. But no worries. Reading subtitles isnt that hard to do :P.

I hate waiting!!

Oh and I was GOING to get a Black DS Lite on Monday but I decided not to, I think since I got this iMac I should lay low on spending at least for 2 months. Well I will buy 2 games for the Wii when it comes out though! Can't wait to try that out... FUN!
Ok so other then computers, and games.. I have been pretty good. College is great, I have great teachers and classmates. So don't you worry about me! :)

So some things I want to go over. First of all it was my birthday yesterday. I didnt feel like doing anything special so we just had a little family celebration. It was cool and fun. We ate at McAlisters. It was a good place, very tasty. I also found a new car!! A silver 2005 Toyota Solara. Im lovin it man! I will have pictures of it with me tomorrow! So look out for them!
Now for another thing.. I saw Krrish.
Krrish was a good movie in my opinion. It had all the indian movie spices in it and a superhero story mixed all in. The action scenes were amazing. The songs were great fun to listen to and the choreography was spectacular. Some other people may disagree with me and say it was crap but thsi is what I thought. Maybe because I wasnt expecting it to be like a Spider-Man or Superman movie. It has a very different way to it.
Anyways, I loved it and I told my freinds about it too.
Well thats all for now folks. Il update tomorrow with pictures of my car. ;)

I got a PSP and 3 games; DBZ Shin-Budokai, Splinter Cell Essentials, and Medivel. Then I ordered a 2gb memory for it from ebay for 80 bucks!!! You know how much it is in stores? 120! lol
Alright so Il be honet I have been watching movies and listening to music on it more then playing games.. There I said it lol.

On other news Im now on my second year of College!!!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!!! YEYEAH!!!
Ehem... ok.
Now what else... Oh yeah! Work has been great as well. I will be working full time when ever I can in summer, so I can earn more money. You know I will need it soon, since I am looking at getting a car sometime this year.

Also I went on a vacation, it was a fun trip. We went to Washington DC, Atlantic City, New Jersey and New York. DC was a fun place to go to. Very interesting to see so many historic places and statues. So we looked at all the places, I especially wanted to see the Lincoln Memorial. So we went to see that as well. The statue was smaller then I thought it would be. But it was still pretty big. I saw a lot of amazing things in DC
Then we went to Atlantic City, which was really amazing. I have been to Las Vegas twice so it did seem a little low compared to LV. but it was great how the casinos and hotels were designed. You might say.. "hey your 18 how did they let you in the casino?" Well my friends, I grew out my beard, and by what everyone says, I look practically 25 with it. So the funny thing is that they asked my brother instead of me. hehe.... Don't worry I didnt gamble or anything. I was never interested in all that stuff to begin with.
Then we head out to New Jersey where we stayed at my Natu bapas house. It was fun staying there and talking with them. We went around and met our relatives there, well most of them. We couldnt meet them all because we spent almost the whole day at New York on Saturday.
So what did we do in NY?? hmm??
Well we went to the Nintendo world store for starters!! Heres the video:

Get this video and more at MySpace.com

Ok so that wraps up the vacation basically. On Sunday we drove straight home.. We left at 10 am and got there at 8 pm. Yeah.. lol. It was long.

After long months of applying to stores and never getting a call back. I applied for Print Center and was called by Randstad. They called me over for testing and to fill out some forms. They help with employement in Axa. The first time I went there a guy came up to me and asked what I needed. I told him I had a 9:30 appointment and he handed me a paper and told me to fill it out. I filled it out and a lady came and talked about it. I went back home thinking that maybe there was no test.
I got a call back from the person that was supposed to give me the test and she asked if I had came, I said yesand explained to her what happened. So we re scheduled the appointment to 10 am the next day. So I went and did the test and filled out the forms which took me about 3 hours. I talked to the lady and talked about my college schedule and when Im free. She told me about something called Job Shadowing which is when they call you over to see the job you applied for being done to show you what you will be doing. but that is only if they consider me for the job. So I shook her hand and said thank you.

After that I started to play a little Animal Crossing Wild World. I have a second floor now BABY! Yeah! Well any ways...... Oh yeah. lol. After that I walked on the tred mill for 2 miles as usual. I sat back down on my computer and was checking my mail. Then I got a call.. from the person I met with at Randstad! She told me they want me to come on friday for a Job Shadow!

YES!!! I AM SO CLOSE!

So I am going to go and do a Job Shadow and if I do well...well I get the job!!!!!!!! YES! :D

Ok thats all Im going to say now. I will tell you guys all about the Job Shadow tomorrow.
