Fun at the Beach

Hidilly-ho bloggerinos,

I was going to write about the Brewtastic Adventure of Awesome, but I shall save that for my next post; get excited (or angry) but I'm saving you all from the Beast of Redundancy. As some of you may know, I have fallen victim to the Blops fad (save me!), but very recently I took it to the next level. I had done my research, and Turtle Beach headsets seemed to be quite a nice peripheral to have. I live in a quiet building, so I now can finally blast my gun, full volume, and hear the HD surround sound tink as my shells hit the floor around me.

I was just about to buy the Earforce X11s, but then saw that if I waited a few more days, I could get the X12s. While acquiring the headset was near impossible (Dammit GameStop! how do you NOT carry the newest gaming gadgets?!) I ordered them from Amazon, and got free 2 day shipping.

While a little superfluous, mayhap even exuberant, they are SWEET. The feature 50mm speakers, (up from 40-something on the X11), A separate mic and game volume control, as well as an adjustable Bass boost unit. They changed the color from white to black, to match the new generation of Xboxes, and also added a feature that lets you hear your own voice in the speakers, should you choose to chat.

I was a little skeptical at first, but I quickly fell in love with them. They really do make a difference. And for all you blops-fags out there (like me :/) NINJA PRO actually works with these. Way cool. I'd say it is a must for all of you serious camper-trolls out there, who need to be aware of their surroundings.

Any dislikes you ask? HOLY CRAPMOSTER4.986! They get freakin' LOUD! Not like, "Hmm wow. That's rather loud, I should say." But rather, like a winged rhinoceros did the dirty with a unicorn, had a mutant baby that grew up and married a foghorn, and THEIR 300 offspring are gangbanging your eardrums simultaneously. Fortunately, if turned up like 1/50th of the way, the sound is pristine.

Alright kiddies, time to go prestige while I wait for MW3, Battlefield 3, and SKYRIMMMMM, to come out. Aww, don't cry, you should be off playing something anyway. GIB out.

Oh wait... on a more personal note... I adopted the hugest, most weird looking, but oddly beautiful cat ever. Ok, that's all I can think of for right now.

GIB out. For real. STOP READING ALREADY AND GIVE YOUR SYSTEM SOME LOVINS! I gotta go feed my cat for the 7000th time today.

Goddammit,

My apologies to all you lovely people for my lack of motivation to write one of these. I was hoping for a guest post but apparently my guest has decided to sit on his thumb and spin. Moving on not a lot has happened in my life. Still dating, still playing videogames and still drinking beer. New recommendations however and they will be at the bottom of this post. So first off how 'bout that Skyrim pre-order bonus eh? Oh yea a physical map of the game. Initially I went, "WHAT?!?!" but now im like, "fapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfap." That Collector's Edition is calling my name and I'll be damned if I don't get it. I could never call myself a fanboy ever again. Next up is i finally got to playing New Vegas on my Xbox. That was so awful. So I immediately had it replaced for the PC. That's right. The PC. I said it. I'm playing the games they were meant to be played. Dragon Age, Fallout 3, Oblivion (and soon Skyrim!! fapptiyfapfapfap) all meant for my glorious PC which after 3 years still runs these games when Dell itself says my computer is obsolete.

So there's that. To the glorious land of beer! I had a chance recently to go to Arcadia Ales in Battle Creek, MI and Darkhorse Brewery in Marshall, MI and they both were phenomenal breweries. Darkhorse had their own brewed cream soda on tap which was also as good as their beers. Arcadia has a fantastic restaurant in addition to some excellent beers. I also hit Saugatuck Brewing Company (the name says it all) which also had some good beers and a good restaurant. Finally Oddside Ales in Grand Haven I returned to today and for doing some pretty unusual beers (hence Oddside) they are topnotch. Also this past 4th of August was International IPA day (which I celebrated of course) so look forward to that next year!

So here it is.

Videogame: Dragon Age

Beers: Arcadia's Sky High Rye, Saugatuck's Singapore IPA, New Holland's Sundog and finally Founder's Devil Dancer (its a triple IPA and it is AMAZING on tap!)

Music: Coheed & Cambria's Second Stage Turbine Blade, and Static-X's Wisconsin Death Trip

Literature: Dan Brown's Lost Symbol, and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files Series.

That's all for now folks! Hopefully I'll be better but hey with all this beer I'm drinking I'll be lucky if I can find my own pants! Haha. Remember if you put the bottle down, the Man wins.

To "health,"

Darth
