Maybe it was because it was time. Or the fact that she’d been replaced by a stronger, faster, YOUNGER version of herself. One does tend to contemplate the usefulness of themselves once they become ‘over the hill.’

Happy Birthday Intel Pentium!

418_1intel_inside

Well it was actually yesterday.  One of the most recognized names in the world today, the Pentium turned 20 yesterday.  It probably also made Intel a household name, and with the ad blitz in the 90’s, that ‘Intel Inside‘ tone (you know that it…you probably just hummed it), and the ‘Intel Inside’ stickers, everyone pretty much know’s what an Intel Pentium is.

Logitech officially tags its ‘G’ series peripherals for gaming.

Logitech G510 Gaming Keyboard in all it’s backlit glory

Logitech‘s G series has been around a while and while associated with gaming, it was never officially for gaming. With the announcement they released a slew of new devices, mostly updates to their current offerings. Haven’t had a chance to check out what’s new under the hood, but they did refresh the aesthetics. I like how the ‘WASD‘ keys are grey ad the rest is black. I hope they didn’t change much since I just a G700 mouse and a G510 keyboard. I do recommend both for anyone looking, and it should be offered at a discounted price with te launch http://tinyurl.com/c3uyfwa

At long last Jelly Bean 4.2.2 is finally being rolled out in phases for Verizon Galaxy Nexus owners. Its been some time since this came out and us Verizon folk were left on the outside looking in. Expect an OTA notification to come soon. I cannot wait. I’m going to be hitting that update button endlessly.

POV: Bread End Pieces Get No Respect

I just don’t understand it. Am I not like everyone else? Don’t I help carry the team forward? I’m always in the line of fire ready to go, ready to sacrifice myself should the need arise. My partner and I, both on opposite ends of this family, do what’s necessary to protect each and every one of them before they see themselves off to the mouths and stomachs of every human being on this earth battle.

But still, my brother and I, we get no respect. None whatsoever. To everyone else we, and those like us, get thrown away. Relegated to the dark, bottom corner of the trash can, as if by some karmic plan we were meant to perpetuate our last days there.

To this I say, “Why?” Why must we be segregated to this way of life? To be kneaded and baked with love and attention, the warmth of the oven, only to bookend our fellow brethren before we all get bagged and sold to the markets for consumption. What of our needs? Why do our wants go unmet?

I suppose such is my fate, as is with all end pieces. I’ll just quietly walk forward into the line of sight. Whether I am a throwaway or lucky enough to at least be a part of a new group of individuals in the grand scheme of things. Peanut butter? Ham? Turkey? Maybe some Jelly? Or perhaps the multicultural Patè? Listen, I’ll even sacrifice myself in the torture-filled confines of a toaster heated coffin with Butter if it means being made into a sandwich salvation.

Sigh…

More New Toys (again)

As I mentioned before, we are committed to bringing you more original content.  So, to go along with the Samson Go Mic I just purchased recently, I just purchased a Happauge HD PVR 2.  Now, we can give you personalized gaming footage of the games we are currently playing.  Exciting stuff, exciting stuff.

 

 

Samsung BT gamepad

samsung_Game_Pad_Galaxy_S4_16702_640screen

 

Announced alongside its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S IV, this new BT gamepad will allow us to finally play some mobile games comfortably and less stressful. Of course if developers support it. It will hold a phone sizes from 4″ – 8″, will be powered by AAA batteries and connects via BT. Finally we can play emulated OG games properly. It does look a bit like an Xbox controller and I’m not really keen on those, but beggars can’t be choosers right? Click on the link below for more info.

It’s official, Agent Coulson survived Loki’s attack!

My theory (and a lot of other nerd’s theory’s) has been confirmed (sort of).  Agent Coulson did not die in the Avengers.  Instead, Nick Fury lied, just to get the misguided superheroes head straight and focus on what needs to get done.  Anyway, I was a bit sad, and angered when I first saw the Avengers, then, when I saw it again a few more times on Blu-Ray, it just didn’t add up.  Why would Phil just die like that, after being in 2 Iron Man‘s and in Thor.  Then, the S.H.I.E.L.D TV series was announced and it was said that Phil was going to be in that show.

Now I know that comic book time lines are not quite arrow straight, but c’mon, a TV series based off of the movie.  Anyway, at SXSW during a panel, Whedon was asked if Coulson survived the Avengers, and his response;

I’ll tell you guys this: Heimlich.

 

So I wonder which of the upcoming Marvel movies will Clark Gregg get resurrected.

 

The-Avengers-Agent-Coulson

 

Anyway, Whedon just wrapped up the pilot episode, and I cannot wait to see this show.

Who deserves more credit?

I, since the planting of basketball into my brain, have been a Miami Heat fan.

I stand by my mindset that if the Heat don’t make it farther into the playoffs, I will only root for the east team so long as they are not the Knicks, which is a surprise, because I was

  • a) Named after Patrick Ewing (with some underlying reasons as to why my name is Patrick as well, but you know, I’m not my parents, so I don’t know the whole story, nor will I ever, because it changes every so often when my mom tells me)
  • b) born and raised in Queens, NYC, New York.

More new toys

Well, it’s just really one toy.  As I said on my ‘Ides of March‘ editorial, we have some upcoming plans in improving the content we provide you. I took a step forward today, and purchased a Samson Go Mic, in hopes of improving at least the voice overs on the un-boxing videos and beyond.  I haven’t had a go with it, perhaps I’ll play around with it a little later.  In any case, I still need to get our ninja list up.  So behind on that.
