Technology Rocks.

Call me slow, late, behind, whatever you want. I'm ok with it. Last week I bought a PS3. Originally, when they first came out, I thought about buying one...but then I realized it was $600, and I had no real need for one yet. Then it dropped to $500...and I still could find no reason to buy it. Eventually, it dropped to $400, and even at this point, I was content to wait and see if it would drop more before some of the games I really wanna play are released on it (i.e. Grand Theft Auto 4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 13, etc.) Even the lure of playing my favorite sports game FIFA online hadn't gotten me hooked on buying the PS3 yet...


....that was until last week. I've always been a big guitar hero fan. And before that, a dance dance revolution fan. So when I heard about Rock Band, I knew it was gonna be fun, but I was in no rush to buy or try it. Then last week I went to a friend's house and he just happened to have the game. We started playing and within the week, I owned a PS3 and Rock Band.

Sufficed to say, that was just the tip of the iceberg. Now that the flood gates have been opened, I find myself shopping online quite often for other games and PS3 accessories. For instance, I'm debating whether to buy the other popular sports games besides FIFA (Madden, NCAA Football, Tiger Woods, etc.) I'm also debating whether to buy a 2nd guitar for Rock Band.


Aside from my dorky infatuation with my new toy, I've been pretty busy lately. Not so much snowboarding since el nino or la nina or whatever it's called has made this such a warm winter....but no, I've been more busy with work, soccer, football, and I supposed hanging out with my cousins and sister while they're home from school.

Next week is the big snowboard trip with all my friends where we've rented like 4-5 houses with 15+ people in each house. It's gonna be a ridiculous weekend at Wisp. Looking forward to it!

On a side note, I still love TV. Lost and Prison Break start up again soon. And last week, one of my all time favorite shows came back, American Gladiators. Technology Rocks. Life Rocks. Rock Band..errr..rocks.
