Ever since I started blogging I have been really into the lesser know blogs. They are usually way less bias and have more straight forward opinions. They are not getting paid to review anything but they do so simply because they want their opinions to get out there in the world. One such blog that I enjoy every minute of is GamerBlogTV! Its a blog much like my own but a little bigger. He blogs about all the same stuff I do but it has more of a newspaper quality. Actually he has his own online news paper called The GamerBlogTv Daily which I also strongly recommend you check out. The guy behind it all is a huge GEARS fan and you will notice it by just looking at the home page. I personally have never been a huge GEARS fan but as I like to say "To each their own!"
On the third of this month I talked about how developers eventually plan to phase out disk based gaming. I said that I thought this was a stupid idea and an all digital world would suck but now that I have my 3DS I have made an exception. I went on a mini vacation to Niagara Falls this weekend and I decided to take my 3DS along. It was great fun at first but then it started to get annoying to keep switching game cartridges every time I wanted to play something different. So my exception is that I think that portable gaming should be all digital. I knew a lot of people that were completely pissed off when Sony went all digital with the PSP GO but looking back it truly is an easier and more convenient platform. Besides the ease of use it could also mean cheaper games and I know that that will be very welcome in this time of $50 and $60 games. To clarify, No I do not think all gaming should be digital with the exception being portable gaming

Jay-Z and Kanye West Trash a Super Car and I get the 3DS for $99
Jay-Z and Kanye West basically tore apart a brand new Mercedes Benz Maybach, the German super car that STARTS at $373,000 for the base model. They tore off the top and welded reinforcements over the fenders. In my opinion it was a stupid move although there were some reasons they did it that were kinda good. The first and most obvious of these reasons is for the video. The second reason is that they plan to auction it off and give the proceeds to a charity that will help the famine in Africa. The damages were estimated at $180,000 and I don't even think that they will get that back! For such great artists I feel that it was very uncreative and poorly planned out but the song itself is awesome!
On Thursday night I received an email from Game Stop that basically said that since I'm a Power Up Rewards Pro member I qualified for a coupon that would allow me to purchase the 3DS for just $99. The only catch is that I would have to have an old DS to trade in! Lucky for me I had my old DS Lite and I took full advantage of the coupon! With this coupon I got 20 more dollars than I would have without it! In reality this coupon would have been worthless if I had had a DSi or DSiXL because I know for a fact that you can get $80 for the DSi and $100 for the DSiXL. So I upgraded and got the aqua blue one instead of the red one like I planned! That is all ok because I figured that I should give the red thing a break, after all the DS I traded in was crimson red so I think a color change would be welcome! As always Please comment and follow!

Setting the 3DS on Fire!
Sorry there was no post yesterday but I didn't know that blogger was going to be down!
Two days ago Nintendo of America announced that a new 3DS color would get released just one month after the price drop. This new color, as you might have guessed by my title, will be Flame Red! I for one am glad I waited to upgrade because not only is there going to be a price drop but the 3DS will now come in my favorite color! If you want you can pre order all three colors at Amazon.com for the new price! I wont be pre ordering because I want to trade my old DS for the 3DS even if I only get $50 for it! The only problem I have with this whole thing is that I think that Nintendo should have released the new color at the same time as the price drop! So instead of it feeling like "Holy crap!! Nintendo is giving the 3DS a price drop and a new color! I have to go buy it the day it comes out!" it actually feels like "Woah! Nintendo is giving the 3DS a price drop and a new color but OH..... wait I still have to wait a whole month before I can get the color I want!" This just reinforces my thoughts that Nintendo doesn't know how to properly release anything!
Well I don't want to get into that whole thing again so I will just leave you with that! Please comment and follow! Tell me how you feel about all this and whether or not you will wait for the new color!

Watching the Throne!
So as I'm sure most of you know Jay-Z and Kanye West's new album, Watch the Throne, finally came out yesterday! I bought it the second it came out and I just cant stop listening to it! Every track is perfect except H.A.M. There is something about that song that I can't stand!! I'll like it eventually. Anyways I had to buy the Deluxe version for obvious reasons! I've never really liked Jay-Z but he sounds really good in this album and the fact that he's teamed up with Kanye West makes it even better. I'm sure some of you might hate Kanye West and I half agree with you. He is a jerk but his music is always pure gold and even you haters have to admit it! Well I'm going to try to keep this short so in conclusion Watch the Throne is an awesome album that I highly recommend and I can't wait to see which songs are made into singles!! GO BUY NOW!!!!

Bad News and Money With Swagger!
Sorry I didn't post yesterday but I slept all day then I went out to eat with my girlfriend!
Some of you may not find the bad news so bad but most of you PS3 users will find it horrible! I don't know if you've heard but Twisted Metal, which was supposed to drop on October 4th, has been delayed to an unknown time in 2012(presumedly within the first three months) . As a subscriber to the PS3 blog I was one of the first to read this and I was shocked mostly. Apparently the developers said that its just not ready yet which sucks because I bet it would have been the perfect Halloween game. There is some good to this horrible news. In my opinion it's good that they have recognized that it wont be done and have postponed it to make sure that when it does release it is perfect rather than rushing to get it done by the previously specified date and then it be half assed if you know what I mean.
If your wondering what the heck money with swagger is wonder no more! Its this site I found called Swag Bucks.com. I know what you might be thinking,"they are paying me to advertise" but that's not true. I truly love this site! what you do is you search on it just like you would on google or yahoo. Every time you search you have a chance to win digital money aptly named Swag Bucks. When you get enough you can trade them in for prizes or sweepstakes entries. I have already won several amazon gift cards and I have purchased a ton of music from the Swag Store. If you still think I'm being paid I promise you that I'm not in any way being influenced buy the them and this is not some kind of spam trying to steal your identity!
