Basically think of any good fantasy-based, role-playing adventure game and I’ve played it. Has anyone played Dark Sector yet? I’m just curious if it’s any good..I haven’t heard much about it yet but it’s one of the last games at Blockbuster for PS3 that I haven’t rented yet..they have a crappy selection but their actually getting a tad better lately. Lame thing is they got rid of all their older games so if I wanted to rent Silent Hill 2 or SSX Tricky..I couldn’t..Blockbuster won’t carry older games anymore. Anyway, there are a few games that are coming out soon that I’m excited about..
Silent Hill: Homecoming marks the sixth story in the Silent Hill mythos, and introduces a new protagonist to the mysterious town.The story follows Alex Shepherd, returning to his hometown of Shepherd’s Glen to investigate the sudden disappearance of his brother and the strange occurrences taking place around town. Shepherd unravels a tale that takes him from his boyhood home to the fog-shrouded streets of Silent Hill, facing the darkest horrors of his soul to find his missing brother.
OMG! Creepy as hell! The sound effects in Silent Hill have always creeped me out big time. I can’t play in the dark. Download Trailer to your iPod
Flock is so bad ass..It seems I find a new feature on Flock everyday that makes me go “WOW that’s cool”.
_ For example I took this screen shot with Flocks built in screenshot tool that allows you to select clips and snap away.
_ It has a built in Blog editor so I can post to my blog using my browser
_A drag and drop web clipboard manager
_Media bar that streams media from sites like Flickr, Digg, Youtube, your Facebook friends
_A sidebar with all your updated feeds and social networking sites
_side bar listing all your accounts and services that you can click on an automatically be logged into
So if you haven’t tried it yet..dammit try it! I still use Firefox and I probably always will but I love me some Flock now and then.. it’s like my secret little drug…well maybe not that dramatic no..but it’s damn good? I love their My world page it shows me all my updates from my social networking sites. It’s nifty. (see screenshot)
Here are some of the most popular Twitter apps and tools. I love my twitter. I like twitter because I can keep in touch with all my friends and family all at once and I don’t have to send out 10 text messages a day, I can send out one or two twitter posts and I’m good to go. Everyone who says I never call them or write them has now heard from me and everyone is happy…including me. I Love it. Here’s a whole list of Mobile Twitter apps..@ Mashable.com
Why go to Twitter when Twitter can come to you? Twitbin’s a Firefox extension that nestles all your friends’ tweets into a sidebar. It’s configurable too, and the tiny ad at the bottom of the sidebar is something I can live with. BTW, it works just as well in Flock.
If you want to share what you’re listening to with the ease of Twitter, this is the browser plugin for you. It’s a sibling of the popular FoxyTunes extension, and supports dozens of players. So if you’re signed in to your Last.fm player, Twitty Tunes will let your Twitter friends know what you’re listening to. There’s even a social network devoted to the most recent TwittyTunes shout-outs, called Foxy Tunes Twitter DJ.
This one appeals to the statisticians and the buzz crawlers. This charts the ‘zeitgeist’ of what’s being Tweeted about across the globe. You can even see comparisons of one key phrase versus another, and what day of the week key terms pop up most frequently. For instance, here’s one that compares beer and sex. Not surprisingly, beer starts getting popular around Friday.
Flotzam started life as Flitterbook, a showcase mash-up of Flickr, Facebook and Twitter data - developed by Karsten Januszewski and Tim Aidlin for MIX07.

If your looking for some new and cool places to eat out in Portland? I found this website that I thought was pretty damn sweet -
Check out Stumptownlunch.com - Reviews of the hip, cheap lunch spots in and around the Portland metropolitan area With the economy the way it is I can’t afford to waste my money on crappy food so this site might just come in handy..
I personally recommend Active Culture a cool little yogurt shop between Morrison and Belmont st, on Belmont. They have the best frozen yogurt..Ever! Frozen yogurt shops are hard to find in the North West it seems especially compared to California.
Yogurt contains “Probiotics” which simply means “for life” and at the very least I can use that as an excuse to eat lots more yogurt. Active Culture 50+ flavors in rotation - 10 served daily
Fat Free - Low in calories 820 SE 8th Ave - Between Morrison and Belmont Street
Monday-Saturday 11am - 10pm
Sunday Noon - 9pm
My favorite flavor is blueberry tart & Vanilla swirl with fresh blueberries on top! 0 YUMMY!
I used to work for Mydomain.com and now I work for another hosting company. I spend a portion of my day registering domain names so I found this pretty interesting but the rest of you..you might find it just plan geeky..sorry.
A lot of these domain no longer have active website’s. People would kill to own a 2-3 letter domain name nowadays. Which is close to impossible unless you have cash and a lot of it.
Just a few…
