Black Friday Savings + Week in Review!

Since I was lazy and TOTALLY forgot to write up a blog post this past Monday, I figured I would write this little textual seduction for you all.  Well, that's lies, you most likely won't get a boner from reading this, PLUS I didn't forget about the blog seeing as I'm lazy.

I'll just do a quick overview for what happened these last few days: played a LOT of Minecraft; had a crazy awesome MC marathon to celebrate the official release of 1.0 (including an Ender Dragon kill); reaching over 3K followers(and damn near close to 3500 now); beating Assassin's Creed Revelations; and casting the awesome Old Republic beta.  Not to mention I'm also a partner on TwitchTV as well, which is HELLA awesome.

Now the main reason of this blog, to brag about all the great savings I found to buy some Xmas gifts for my family, along with some stuff on the side for me.  From electric mixers to muk luks to video games to DVDs and Barbies and Transformers, Amazon Black Friday was the place to be.  All in all, I saved over $245.33 on amazing savings, spending just under 200.  Definitely worth all the money spent.

Short, to the point, that's all this blog was.  Insert penis joke here.

Week in Review: November 7th - November 14th, 2011

No cutesy intros this time around, straight to the action.  I like that initiative!

After the last two weeks of awesome, this past week was rather ho-hum, minus a few new release games.  Well ho-hum for my own cast, as I did help out with the GamingForHunger marathon that was put on by LookAtMyChicken.  Played some MW3 multiplayer and IndustrialCraft2/Buildcraft on Minecraft, was a really fun time.  Also rocked out on Sunday night to some Beatles tunes on Beatles: Rock Band, it's really fun to do that.

As for my own cast, it's been pretty ho-hum with some big name games, MW3 and Skyrim in particular.  Skyrim was a bit of a pain with gamesource in Xsplit, but in the end I figured it out.  That said, not sure about casting it all the time as I do enjoy to take a break and get some variety in my games.  Early Monday morning was nice as well as I casted the Release Candidate 2 for Minecraft, always a blast casting that game!

Speaking of MW3, finally had my first successful console multiplayer night!  When I do multiplayer nights, there is always an issues of party chats or not enough people showing up, but thankfully the 360 TTV viewers came out in force, and we won quite a few games as a team!  Will definitely be playing that again with some peeps.

Well that's it for now, but be on the lookout this week.  More Minecraft Release Candiate 2, Assassin's Creed Revelations on Tuesday(hopefully), and a celebration of the official release of Minecraft with a Minecraft Server Marathon!  Should be great!

Week in Review: October 29th, 2011 - November 6th, 2011

Just like that scare with that special women in your life when she's a bit late, we're a bit late with the week in review.  No worries though, no fear of pregnancy here in this blog, as we are ready to re-cap what's been going on.

Once again this past week has just been a jumbled mess of craziness and epic moments, whether it's because the feat itself was epic or the game itself was epic, there was a whole lot of epic.  Tired of me using epic to describe epic things?  Well too fucking epic, because we about to epic up this epic place inside your epic head.

When people call Minecraft by the name of Minecrack, they really aren't lying.  Just since October 29th, according to my video archives, I played Minecraft for a whopping 30 hours, including two casts that were around 12 hours each.

Thankfully I was able to break that up with what may become my Game of the Year for 2011: Uncharted 3.  Recently I've started a thing on cast recently where I will play a game in one sitting, the latest of which is Uncharted 3.

Watch live video from Bringing the Ruckus! on Justin.tv
To say this game is epic is a gross understatement.  It takes what made the first two games awesome and expands upon it, and REALLY pushes it up to the next level.  There were many moments where I couldn't formulate any coherent thought because the game took my breath away, and not like Berlin asked us to.  I'll go more into detail about the game for my top Games of the Year of 2011 post, sometime in January.

Finally, the week ended with a bang as I celebrated reaching 2500 followers on TwitchTV.  Not only did I beat Dead Space 2 on Hardcore in one sitting, I did it after streaming Minecraft for 12 hours(after which I had been up 20 hours), slept two hours, and then streamed Dead Space 2 for 11 hours.  THAT my friends is a sure fire way to get yourself sick, so please don't follow my example.  I'm serious on that one, but NOTHING can take away from how much gaming elation I felt to finally beat DS2 on Hardcore in one sitting.

Well, that's it for this week, things to look forward to for this week include MORE Minecrack, Modern Warfare 3, helping a marathon over at Chicken's channel, and of course...on Thursday....SKYRIM!  Til next time....
