The End Draws Near for Disc Based Gaming!

OK.. well maybe its not that near but by my estimate we only have about 10 years left maybe more maybe less! I was reading an article over at my favorite gaming site, IGN.com. It was about how disc based gaming will eventually be phased out and whether or not it's a good thing and it made me think. It made me think about how boring getting a new video game would be if that really happened! There would be no thrill, all you would have to do is click download. It would demolish the excitement of picking a freshly wrapped game off the shelf and squinting as you tried to read the tiny letters on the back. It would take away the ever growing anticipation as you drive home with your newly purchased game. It would relinquish that feeling of pure harmony as you tear the wrapping off and open the case for the first time. And the worst part of all.............you wouldn't get to smell that wonderful smell of a brand new booklet!!! That may sound strange to some of you but I know of a lot of people that are like that including myself. It's just that the smell is like nothing else just like Apple products. If you order anything from Apple like cables, iPods, computers, they all have this very distinctive smell that is just amazing. Again I know its strange but you know to each their own... right??!!
Now back to the subject! Do I think that all digital gaming is a good thing?? Definitely not!!! First and foremost digital gaming is still fairly unsecured!! Some of you may not agree but think of it this way. As our knowledge of the digital world grows so will the hackers so even if we think we found a fail safe way to keep hackers out it probably wont last forever! There is also the devices capability to consider. If the new devices aren't built properly you could face crashes, freezing, and slow download times. While I'm sure they will be built with a higher quality than they are today, nothings perfect. The last thing that makes me dislike digital gaming is that you wont have to go to a store anymore. This goes for books as well. My favorite store has got to be Barns & Nobel! You can grab a Starbucks and then just take you time and relax as you look at all the different books. If that went away because of the digital world I don't know what I'd do. The video game equivalent would be Game Stop. Isn't just exciting to walk into a Game Stop and see wall to wall games!! Well I think I've rambled on enough and I'm sorry if I bored you but that's just how I feel about Digital Gaming! As always PLEASE comment and follow!

Here I Am by Kelly Rowland and Other Exciting News!

Kelly Rowland's new album was finally released on the 26 last month! After a much anticipated release, especially by me, it doesn't disappoint! Every track is solid gold from the beats to the lyrics and at only $11 for the deluxe edition you can't go wrong! There are currently only two singles on it, Motivation and Commander(feat. David Guetta), but I'm sure there will be more in the future(there always is)!
Strangely enough she has the only new album worth mentioning right now, but Kanye West and Jay-Z's new album, Watch the Trone, will finally drop on the 8th. Its going to be AWESOME!!
The exciting news is that I really like Kanye West and Jay-Z more than I thought I did!! I don't know why I thought I didn't like them? Man Was I wrong!!!

I was thinking that I havent really established a schedule for posting yet so here it is!
I will write on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! I will try to write about something different on each of those days(music, electronics, video games)! The most Important stuff will of course come first and if I must I will mix the subjects! If I write on any of the days not listed above then it should be considered breaking news! I hope this helps and as always PLEASE comment and follow!!

3DS Gets Major Price Cut!

Nintendo announced a major price cut today!! The 3DS will go from $249.99 all the way down to $169.99! That is HUGE when it come to gaming consoles! As amazing as it is I know of a lot of bloggers that said that it WAS going to have a price drop because the new Wii U would be around $250 to $300! Who cares what the reason was all I care about is  finally upgrading! I know I've said some things in the past but it had a lot more to do with the price than I thought because now that it will be cheap I can't wait to upgrade!
I will be away all day tomorrow so I wont be able to post! As always please comment and follow!!

Anonymous Gets Arrested!

This week 15 people, all belonging to the Anonymous hacker group, have been arrested in the US under the suspicion that they did indeed take part in the PSN hacking! Numerous computers and AV equipment have been taken as evidence and are currently being looked over! As of now it is unknown how many more arrests will be made and if they will find anything linking the group to the hacking! As I'm sure you can all remember the FBI is handling the situation but until now nothing has really come from their investigations! Hopefully they have finally caught those jerks that forced a month of bordum upon us like a plague! Please comment and follow!

OSX 10.7 Lion Does it Live Up to the Hype?

Yesterday I finally downloaded the new Mac OS, Lion! I have played around with pretty much all the features now and besides some minor annoyances I think Apple has done it again! I mean to say that I'm really impressed with the new operating system! It is as sleek and organized as ever. One of my favorite features has got to be Launchpad. It makes your screen look like an iPad! That minor annoyance I was talking about was the fact that they dropped Front Row! I loved that app, it let me see movie trailers and let me play my music in a stylish manner! In conclusion I would have to say YES it does live up to the hype!

Now, lately I have been really lazy so I'm sorry if this isn't a satisfactory post but tomorrows will be more of a story, I promise! I just feel bad for not posting anything yesterday! As always, please remember to comment and follow! if you want to anything else about OSX Lion, like tech specs, you can e-mail me at mediaphases@gmail.com or just leave a comment and I will reply!
