Next Generation Consoles and PC Gaming

     In San Fransisco on March 17, game developers will be meeting at the annual Game Developers Conference.An article i read here, talked about the developers publishing games for the next generation consoles. As a PlayStation fan, i was happy to see that roughly 20 percent of the developers surveyed  would be releasing their games on the PlayStation 4. In close second, 17 percent of developers surveyed said they will be releasing their games on the Xbox One. Surprisingly, most of the new games will be coming out on current gen. consoles, meaning the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and so on...

     In other news, PC gaming has risen above console gaming in certain countries. Such as in a short article I found here which talks about the rise in PC gaming in New Zealand. Could PC gaming expenses overtake console gaming expenses in the U.S.? If you know anything or can give us some information, please feel free to comment on our blog!

Zombie Apocalypse Guide

First off, I’m assuming that you haven’t prepared at all in advance, so you don’t have large quantities of drinkable water, non-perishable food, weapons, or protective gear, and you don’t live in a fortress. I am also assuming that the zombies were created by a virus and that zombies would be anywhere that people would be.
The first instinct you have might be to get food, but that would be wrong. Everyone else would also be thinking this and you would likely have to compete with them. Instead, go to a sporting goods store such as Big 5 where you can get good running shoes, a backpack, protective gear (good enough to protect from a bite), and a weapon (gun or medal bat). Now you are ready to go get some food and it will hopefully be a lot less risky with your gear. Now you hopefully have some food water and might have found some friends. You’ll need to lay down the rules. The rules from “Zombieland” are pretty good and go as follows:
1.       Cardio
2.       The Double Tap
3.       Beware of Bathrooms
4.       Wear Seat Belts
5.       No Attachments
6.       The “Skillet”
7.       Travel Light
8.       Get a Kick Ass Partner
9.       With your Bare Hands
10.   Don’t Swing Low
11.   Use Your Foot
12.   Bounty Paper Towels
13.   Shake it Off
14.   Always carry a change of underwear
15.   Bowling Ball
16.   Opportunity Knocks
17.   Don’t be a hero (later crossed out to be a hero)
18.   Limber Up
19.   Break it Up
20.   It’s a marathon, not a sprint, unless it’s a sprint, then sprint
21.   Avoid Strip Clubs
22.   When in doubt Know your way out
23.   Ziploc
24.   Use your thumbs
25.   Shoot First
26.   A little sun screen never hurt anybody
27.   Incoming!
28.   Double-Knot your Shoes
29.   The Buddy System
30.   Pack your stain stick
31.   Check the back seat
32.   Enjoy the little things
33.   Swiss army Knife

In addition, you will need to have an infection policy. In the case of anyone in your party being bitten they can either: have to commit suicide, be killed, be exiled, or be caged.

One of the fastest internet connections of 2013!

Recently, while I was looking up random things on the internet I saw that I was having very slow internet connection. I wanted to see if I could find the fastest ips speed in the world. And I think i came pretty close. Earlier last year, Nuro, a Japan based service provider, launched one of the fastest networks in the world. The connection pulls data at 2 Gbps, and sends it at 1 Gbps. At roughly $51 per month, the few who were able to purchase this product are living in luxury while I am suffering at home waiting for Google Chrome to respond.
