There will be a total solar eclipse on March 29th, 2006. Why am I making such a big deal? You do know the name of this sight, the logo and it only happens once or twice a year, right? Well for the non-cynical types, Nasa has put up a sight called Sun-Earth Day 2006. Here is a eclipse fact from NASA: “From the Earth’s surface, the Sun’s corona (“crown”) can ONLY be seen during a total eclipse.” Wow, fine it is only interesting to me. Nasa did say corona so …

I have finally gotten around to posting all 4 of my reviews for last years E3. It was a great show and one of my personal dreams to attend. I will probably not make it to E3 this year because my application was rejected with their new standards even though I used the same information from last year. Oh well, that is how the ball joystick jerks you sometimes but I still have the memories and choppy video from last year. Here is a link to all four reviews for …

Day 3: Today I was on a mission because there was so much I still had not seen and played and this was the last day! This was the first time in my life I wish I had a PDA because in my mind I had a long list of what I wanted to do. My first priority was to see the PS3 and I thought it would be better to go to it immediately because of the long line from the day before. Wrong, other people had the same …

Day 2: Walking towards the convention to E3, Atari had their logo Matrixized with the then unreleased Matrix Online. That was cool but while I am looking up at Matrixed Atari logo out of the corner of my eye I see people falling from the sky. What is going on here I think to myself and see that it is the army doing a demonstration for the American Army games. This is day two for me so I take time to stop and pick up some swag and magazines in …

Project Blowed will be the host of Battle of the Beats 2. It will feature musical producers coming with their finest tracks. Just confirmed by Detrimental Storm, he will be entering the contest, so I am sorry to say the winner of this event will be him. If you are an aspiring producer too bad you can not win the event because Det has that locked but you can come out and experience the music. Click here for information on Battle of the Beats 2.

Day 1: I walk in and my senses went into overload from all the lights, sounds and people. I can honestly say I have never been to any event quite like this. E3 goes all out, with displays, statues and booths with your favorite video game characters and trailers towering over you. The first one I see is a huge Mickey Mouse in a black suit holding a weapon. If I had no sense of dignity I would have ran up to it screaming like a little school girl but …

Maybe a lot of people have already seen this video or heard this song from Mos Def called Katrina Klap. It was released after Katrina crashed in and devastated so many lives. I just wanted to bring this to the light again and let people know that funds are still needed for the rebuilding of Katrina struck areas. Mos Def’s politically charged video is ideal to remind us of the tragedy and the events that followed. The video and MP3 can be downloaded and streamed at PressTheIssue.org and has different …

My E3 experience could not be summoned up in one word. It would probably fill up three thousand pages if I wrote out every little detail of days at the big event. To give you a picture of my mindset and excitement going into E3, I will have to give you a little bit of my video gamer background. I will also tell you how I got my pass into the show, some of the companies that were there and the video I shot.
I don’t think my mom even knows …

First, I have to thank Clark Steel at Gamerave.com(seems the sight has not been updated for awhile) for giving me the tickets to go to E3. None of this would have been possible without him and his Sony PSP blog site. He actually gave me the ticket for free because he had guess passes and I meet the E3 requirements. I didn’t have to pay him or do some crazy contest he was just being a cool guy with out any hidden agenda in return. Had the time of my …
