Well, since Movember is over, why not start Decem-beard to continue on to keep those faces of ours warm for the winter months. I've had my goatee for a couple years and I don't plan on shaving it off anytime soon. And I'm keeping my stash for the time being. Kinda like how it looks on me again.
So far, this month is going awesomely. For one, I got my daughter for the night last night so I got to wake up with her this morning.....at 530am. I hate waking up that early but for my daughter, its a complete joy. I also got an email today to send in 2 game reviews and if they like it and I am chosen, I will start doing game reviews and get paid for it. Win-fuckin-win. Hopefully I get games sent to me or links to download them for free instead of me having to go out and buy certain games to review to their liking. This will also shorten my time on my Skyrim playing and my side project associated with that but it'll be worth it cause I'll be making the money. The only down side I see with this would be my anticipation to get done work quicker and go home to play the games and do reviews. I should actually start doing my own personal review more often.
Whats new with me, well, end of last week my boob tube TV started acting up. Basically it was like someone was sitting there with the remote and hitting `input`, `power`, `channel scan` or holding volume up`. At first it didn't bother me too much. I just put it back to the appropriate input/channel and continue gaming or watching TV/movie. But as the days or hours went on, it got worse and worse to the point where I couldn't have the TV on for more then 5 minutes without this happening to it. So like any other sane gamer out there, I had to go get a new TV. And I made sure I upgraded far. No, I didn't get a 3D TV. I'm waiting for 3-5 years before I decide on getting one of those. Make sure the market for them is better and the price goes way down.
Well, I got my new TV. A Samsung 1080p LED Smart HDTV. I'm loving it. I can have Netflix, facebook, and twitter through my TV. Not from streaming from another device like my XBox 360 or from a computer, but actually from apps on the TV. Also with the apps I can download games to it. I literally started laughing when I found that out. One part, "that's pretty cool" and one part "that's ridiculous." The thing that I find really sick was that I was able to download an app for my iPhone 3Gs and use it as a remote control. It even has a section to use for the games as well. To make it work though, you need to have the HDTV hooked up to your router via wireless or wired and have your smartphone also connected to the same router. Its that easy. I don't think I will ever use the remote that came with the HDTV anymore. All I need to do now is get myself a HDMI cord for my XBox 360 and I'll be set.
I'll be back another day. Probably with something more interesting to talk about....like what happened to my old boob tube TV...did I give it away, sell it or smash the shit outta it with a baseball bat and other blunt objects....only time will tell. And if I do the more fun choice, you better believe I'll have someone video tape that shit. And yes, of course, I'll post it online and link it on here. lol
On a parting note; Make small things count.....teach midgets math.
