Blades will get ya!

Topic: "The Waring Sign Collection: A Compilation of the DUMBEST warning signs EVER!!!"

Normally, this WARNING wouldn't be much.... kinda common. It's a "keep your hand away from this,... dumb ass!" symbol. But seeing this EVERYDAY on the chop-saw we use, makes this warning good enough to make the list.

Seriously?? A big ass blade can cut my hand in half????

......who would have thought....

Update: 6/5/08

Found this one on my another chop saw.

"Please idiot!!; stick your hand into the sharp thing!!!"

FUUUUUZION FRENZY!!!!!

Topic: "Used and Abused: A Look Back at a Few You Might Have Missed"

Game - Fuzion Frenzy 2: To start off my main blog, I've decided to go back a bit and review a game I destroyed quickly and enjoyed every second of. Fuzion Frenzy, (in my opinion) is the BEST multi-player game in its genre. I say this becuase of its history. When the first Fuzion Frenzy unleashed itself, it was the college party game (yes I'm old!). Of course there was "(Drinking) Mario Party" and the sober-ish zombie adventures of the "Hunter" series.... but Fuzion Frenzy was the game that made you feel like it was OK to play a mini-game.....game, in public.

With the 360, came the second installment of Fuzion Frenzy; and here's the breakdown.

Fun Factor Vs. Price: (Thumbs Up)
Fun is the name of this game (or at least it should be). The games in Fuzion Frenzy are far and away the most entertaining mini-games on the 360. As far as the "used" price, I was lucky enough to pick up this great title in a 3-pack (with Disney's Cars and Open Season. That damn Ashton got me again). So it was around 30 bucks. The leading game stores have it at $17.99 (alone) which i would still pay, considering I destroyed it months ago but still play it!

Achievements vs. Price and Difficlty: (Thumbs Up)

1000 points went to my gamer score in a fun and easy-ish way. All of the non-online achievements are easy and self explanatory. Basically, all you have to do, to get around 800 AP, is play the game and win.

Only when you go online does the AP battle begin. The only reason I have found that makes the "Tournament Hero" and "Mini-Game Frenzy Hero" achievements difficult, is the fact that NOBODY IS EVER ONLINE!!! So, you can never play with anyone to get these achievements. But I waited, and waited, and waited and finally found a player or two that was on the same mission as I was. We finished these up together and another 200 was tacked on.

Difficulty - Sucks Vs. NOT: (Thumbs Up)

NOT Suck - Its fun, easy to play and it is a game you shouldn't sell back. You can play with friends, family or (if you want to get REALLY mad at the "computer") by yourself over and over.

OVERALL - Yes Vs. No: (Thumbs Up)

A BIG yes from me! I'm a big fan of Fuzion Frenzy. Meet me online sometime or send me an invite - The Turbine Blade or Sumo are my favorite levels!

AN EXPLINATION

NEW TOPIC!!!

Topic: "Used and Abused: A Look Back at a Few You Might Have Missed"

-This is going to be the MAIN topic of my blog.

I love how XBox has made the Achievements a HUGE part of the "Gamer-tag". I honestly think its what separates XBox from the Wii and Ps3. I agree that Wii is "just plain fun" and the Ps3 has AMAZING graphics; but that's.....it..... There is no "keep it going" the way the XBox has it.

With that said, my MAIN blog is (and will be) "Used and Abused: A Look Back at a Few You Might Have Missed"!!!

Basically, I am going to review games that have already been reviewed, played ...and possibly KILLED by people like YOU. However, I haven't been able to play (or afford) them yet, so here I am now between $10.99 and $28.99 reviewing them for (my) first time!!

Basic Overview: (Pictures soon: Thumbs- up, sideways, down)

Fun Factor - VS - Price
Achievements - VS Price and Difficulty
Difficulty - Suck VS Not
OVERALL = Yes VS No

Should be fun. Plus, my gamerscore is RIGHT THERE ON THE RIGHT. So call me out if you feel like it...

ALSO!!
******For these posts, AP is short for Achievement Points******

Lets go!



My review of my FAVORITE used game in the bunch: Fuzion Frenzy - Soon!

Ladders Kill

NEW TOPIC!!!

For this topic, I'm going to start posting up the most ridiculous warning signs Ive ever seen. Since (for now) I work as a carpenter and painter, its pretty easy. These things literally amuse me all day, so I thought I would start to share!

I'm looking for the best WARNING! signs that not only make us laugh, but give us all the thought process of...."Really? Do you REALLY need to warn me about this??"

Topic: "The Waring Sign Collection: A Compilation of the DUMBEST warning signs EVER!!!"

Off of the ladder we use at work...A CLASSIC!!!! I know everyone has probably seen this one before, but I just couldn't resist making it the first post for this topic.

Dan Does The Dingle Dance

NEW TOPIC!!!

Topic: Stupid Videos 105 (So Stupid!!! They belong in the special class)

To start off the first (of 3) new topics for this blog, I went with stupid videos 105. I'm lazy.... and this was honestly the easiest one to start because I DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. The video itself should make you laugh.

This is a video of my friend Dan, winning a heated challenge, over my girlfriend in the Xbox 360 (new) classic "Burnout: Revenge". She has this..... dance..... that she does, and well.... he imitates it. I SWEAR he's not "special", but the video is...enjoy!!

GotGame Attacks "The Hoodwink"

Topic: Stuff That Makes Me Ecstatic!!!!

http://www.thehoodwink.com/


I have not posted anything to this blog for a while and for that I apologize. Its been a strange month and a lot of good stuff has happened. Barbra Walters had an affair with a senator, an American Idol judge made an ass out of herself and the president actually made a good joke (sorry cowboy fans).

Now, April aside, its May. And, going into (what I call) the month that starts the summer, means that its time to start looking forward to some good concerts.
Every year I look forward to the Warped tour, the occasional Ozzfest and any other good shows that normally don't come around that often (This year I get some bangers: AKA - The return of Stone Temple Pilots and Tom Petty.)

To start it off RIGHT, I want to get Bamboozled! http://www.thebamboozle.com/ This crazy ass festival, that has turned into a yearly event, might be the best thing to happen to music/concert events in a long time. It is 2 days of just plain good music. Now, weather you like the headliners or not, there is still plenty for everyone. Even if you hate Panic! at the Disco for being sellout drama queens.... (I actually still like them) theres still hardcore punk acts like Anti-Flag, F'n Snoop Dogg, some good old surf rock with the fantastic Hawaii band Pepper and even some underage eye candy with the hot chick from Paramore.

Now even though I would love to go to this show, I cant.

But don't get all pissy with me because I just wrote about it for so long..... I was just building up for the good part. I'm going to the "secret" show.
<<The HOODWINK>> http://www.thehoodwink.com/
The Hoodwink might be the reason I have a drunken heart attack today.
Say Anything, The Chiodos, Saves The Day (NJ!!), MxPx????????? This day just keeps getting better.
With the line-up only announced last week, The Hoodwink is a very special pre-event that will happen today to pump up the excitement for The Bamboozle events this weekend.

I'll probably be there around 4:00. If anyone is in the NY, NJ area GO!!!! And look for me when Say Anything comes on. I'll post up some more good s**t about this show by the end of the weekend.

P.S. - My goal is to have Say Anything rep GotGame somehow..... we'll see......
