A couple of days ago I went to best buy with my brother and sister-in-law and got to play with the Playstation®Move controller. It was the first time I’d ever had the opportunity to play with a movement sensor videogame controller but it was so very easy to figure out!

It would be awesome to own a Move, especially with my family, because we have a huge tv in the living room and we could all get together and play games. Even mom could easily figure out the controller and join in! She’s always feeling left out because she isn’t really good at videogames, but I’m pretty sure we could find plenty of fun puzzles and family games for her to play with us.

I hadn’t realized how many games were available for the Move, but looking though the list I was pleasantly surprised to see a game I’ve been dying to play. Little Big Planet 2. I seriously want a Playstation®3 just for that game alone! But coupled with the Move? That would make it even more fun! I also saw Dance Dance Revolution on the list, which is one of my favourite games, and also a great source of exercise. I also saw some other popular titles I’d love to try with the Move controller, like Resident Evil 5, and Heavy Rain.

Right now there’s a Move bundle package for only $99 to bring motion gaming to your existing PlayStation®3, and with Christmas just around the corner, its the perfect time to think about grabbing one!

I still need to get a PlayStation®3, but once i do I’m definitely going to think about getting a Move as well.

Summer is almost over, and I still want to go on a vacation. Right now is a great time too because so many people are going back to school, so places are probably going to be less full than if I went in the middle of the summer. I’d love to just grab Lucas and maybe some close friends, and go to a nice beach or maybe a theme park for a little weekend get away. Yes I like the beach, I know I don’t look like the type but its one of my favourite places in the whole world, and places like that are always more enjoyable when you have friends around.

Have you heard about the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes? You could win an entire hotel for a weekend! That’s 100 rooms for 2 nights for you and your friends! The entry process is very simple, just enter your information and press the submit button. That’s all! No purchases required. The contest is open to residents of the united states, as well as Canada (excluding Quebec), the UK, and Mexico!

If I won a contest like that Lucas and I would be on our way to Orlando Florida for a nice weekend getaway. We’d stay in the Hampton Inn near Universal Studios and run around the amusement park until we were exhausted! I’m really not sure what I’d do with 100 rooms, so maybe I’d have to find more friends to take with me. Any volunteers?

Anyway if you’re interested in this giveaway, (and why wouldn’t you be??), make sure to enter before September 4th! And hey, if you win, take me!

so i was looking around socialspark.com looking for some opportunities that fit with the halloween season and i came across a spark for Fear Asylum. from what i can see it looks like a blossoming horror movie fan community. i saw a couple of reviews and noticed they even had a forum to chat about movies, so that was pretty cool. all in all its a good start to a site, however i do notice a few minor things that irked me as a viewer.

• play on load music. this is one of my pet peeves (sorry)! while i do like the song don’t fear the reaper i really hate to have to stop it every time i return to the main page. if you insist on having music please be kind and do not make it play on page load.
• the banner while it does have cool font, seems a bit low quality. i recommend getting rid of the pumpkins.

the site is very new so i am going easy on it. it is easily navigated and it looks like it will be a pretty cool community site once it gets off the ground a bit more. i’ll be sure to check back to see what else they put up in the future

i love joining web directories! i used to have this blog on a ton of them but during my months of absence most of the sites i was listed on went poof. so now i’m joining all new sites and i wanted to let you guys know about this one called the listing. i just signed up for it and it looks like a great site. lots of different site categories to choose from, even an adult section! so its a good choice for any website not just blogs like mine.

another reason i love list sites like this? i find new blogs to check out! like this one called blondish.net. right now she’s showcasing some really cool tutorials for vexel art that make me want to play with photoshop… but right now i need to head to bed X_x.
