Okay seriously, whoever came up with this product is a GENIUS. A LIGHTSABER NIGHTLIGHT?!?!?!?! There is not one thing about that sentence that doesn’t make perfect sense! Why didn’t I think of that! I must have one, but they are only available for pre-order right now. Being that I’m terrified of the dark (side) I don’t know how long I can make it. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope!

So yesterday (& this morning) I got to toy around with an iPad. Despite it’s popularity for being such an “EPIC FAIL!” and the cause for an internet joke phenomenon, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed! The iPad has proved to me that it’s convenient, useful and extremely good for quality entertainment.

*I’m on an iPad!…*

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely not saying the iPad is good for everybody! Say you’re the type of person who just casually surfs the web, doesn’t do a whole lot of social networking or emailing and you watch all your favorite movies & tv shows at home because lets face it, you don’t have anything better to do! If that is your type, then yea, there would be absolutely no point for you to purchase one! However, if you are someone whose life & work depends on the internet & you’re constantly on the go, the iPad would be an absolute dream come true for you.

First things first! Trying it out..

The keyboard was initially my biggest worry. It took a second or two for me to get used to and I DID have to adjust my aim a little bit, but it’s a lot easier to use than I had expected.
P.s. Notepad rocks!

Having a large, easy to use & organized iCal would save my life! (Or my dentist appointments!)

I don’t know what the heck that face is, but the new email app gets a big thumbs up!

Lol,the book shelf only had one book..

..and it was Winnie the Pooh! lol

White chicks & gang si- err, uhm… I mean look at the Marvel Comics app!

Spiderman?! *GASP* How could he!?!?!

…lol sorry guys

…ALRIGHT! I’ve gone too far!

All in all, sure theres a lot of stuff it doesn’t have that people wanted (I.E. flash, multitasking, cure for cancer, a kitten..ect.) and yes, it is just like a big iPod Touch! (Almost down to the very core!) But what I’ve come to terms with is the fact that it’s not supposed to replace my computer, it’s a tablet! A T-A-B-L-E-T! Not a miniature laptop, not a slice of my macbook! It’s a mobile all-in-one tablet.

I definitely plan on getting one for myself someday but I’ll see if I can hold out for one with a camera. (Assuming they WILL have one with a camera, that is!) It was really fun to play around with it. The apps on that thing are amazing, everything is so much easier, prettier and more understandable with a larger interface. I guess its true when they say “the bigger the better!” (……unless talking about picking see-saw partners! No, don’t get up dude! Don’t get off, DONT! No! WHHHHYYY!!! *thud.*)

Is it just me, or are video game trailers becoming more intriguing than most movie trailers?

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction Coming April 13, 2010

Maybe it’s because video games are just generally appealing, OR maybe it’s because video games have started to feel more and more like interactive movies..

Metaphorically speaking, GTA4 would be considered one of the best movies I’ve ever watched for 3 days, 12 hours a day, when my brother and his friends played it during the summer a couple years ago.

Splinter Cell: Conviction looks pretty neat. I got to see the game at PAX East but unfortunately didn’t get a chance to play it. From what I DO know, it looked clean, interesting and people were really enjoying themselves during multiplayer. I say its worth the time to at least try it out, guess I’ll be downloading the demo tonight on XBL!

Geek tattoos. We’ve all seen them. We’ve all looked at them or thought about them in some way.

So our question is, if you HAD to get something,
what would you get and why?

Show us a picture or tell us about it! We want to know!

Oh my Holy Grail! It’s God of War III and it looks amazing! Release Date: March 16th. (Better hurry and finish FFXIII!) IGN gave it a review of 9.3, which is “Outstanding.” They also posted a video review (click here to watch) and tons of screenshots that will leave your eyes bulging out of their sockets, gushing to play.

It’s times like these that make many people like me grumble for being such strong advocates of Xbox 360, and not caring enough about the PS3. Well, I take that back. I just grumble about certain PS3 exclusive games, really. It’s like when I was in Elementary School & my classmates and I had to choose certain color crayons & because I picked all the blue ones (my favorite ones), I couldn’t draw a freaking sunshine with grass like some of my friends when I wanted to! However, I could make the coolest ocean with an invisible monster you’ve ever seen! It really makes us Xbox 360ers, who love all of our favorite games, really sit and think about what is happening outside of the box. (Not much, but still.) I want God of War III!

Coolest D&D Dungeon/Game Room ever!

These guys are the coolest. And by coolest, I mean nerdiest. Their D&D room includes props from the movies and dimming lights, strobes, and fog machines, all able to be controlled by the DM.

The one thing that concerns me: You need a handmade skeleton key to exit the room. Seriously? You can get locked in this dungeon? I’d like to be able to get up and use the bathroom/ get more snacks when I play D&D, not have to beg the DM to release me. Yikes.

In similar news, Jill’s never played D&D and I am excited to introduce her. I’m looking at a couple campaigns/groups right now, and should be finding one for us to jump into shortly! Stay tuned.
