Almost 18, the 22nd to be exact. I don't think it'll feel any different, though I do feel I am looking older than usual. I usually get carded when I go to R rated movies with my friends, but a few days ago the manager stares at me and tells me I look more than old enough?

So as I get older, gifts are more my choice and less of a secret. Well, I will be attending the Illinois Institute of Art to major in Graphic Design next fall so I got lots of goodies for my computer.

First is a new set of headphones, VERY comfy headphones.

Next is a new keyboard, I was hurting from the stock DELL board I had.

It has backlighting so working in the dark i not a problem anymore

Tomorrow I am having my grandmother take me out for more toys so Ill post em when I get em!

So I just picked up Jet's new Album, Shaka Rock. It rocks!

I've listened to the whole thing and I must say, this is their best album yet. If you're a fan of Jet... GO GET THIS CD!!!

Zombieland

May contain Spoilers!

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin team up to take on a world full of zombies. This is how all zombie movies should be made.

It's a simple plot, with each of the four on a mission to get somewhere for some reason each their own. Starting off with Jesse's character "Columbus" (after the city) as he needs to get to Columbus, Ohio, to find his parents. He has a long list of rules on how to survive the "Zombiepocalypse" as he calls it. The list includes, "Always wear your seatbelt" to "Double Tap" which is my personal favorite. (GO WATCH IT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW!) He meets Talahasee (Harrelson) and the two make their way east to get to their respected locations. After a run of kills, they eventually find two con artists, Stone and Breslin, who make off with the guy's belongings and their truck. after a game of cat and mouse, they eventually "team up".

More hilarious zombie killing ensues, and a scene worrthy of tears involving Bill Murray. Yes. Bill Murray himself.

The idea in my mind of what makes a zombie film great is watching people kill zombies! Especially in creative and gruesome ways. Also Eisenberg's survival list makes the movies more informative when the zombes actually arrive. If you love comedy, action and horror, this is the PERFECT movie for you.

Zombieland gets a 9/10 in my book.

I picked up a few games since my last blog post:

Need for Speed Shift from Bestbuy, I'd say worth the purchase!

Mount and Blade from D2D for $5, I've only played the tutorial so far and I'm loving the combat mechanics

AND

Mass Effect...

I've been avoiding this game since release, as it did NOT appeal to me at all... WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!

This game is fantastic! not appealing... Pfft. It has a KOTOR feel to it, very cinematic and VERY good looking. The part I didnt like about KOTOR, no direct combat controls, is a part of this game which makes me feel so good inside! I've only played the first big mission involving that beacon, and so... No spoilers... I'm just trying to find a chance to sit and play for a few hours straight because this game will suck my life down the drain!

Biggest gaming mistake of all-time averted... CHECK

Well, I got tired of my crappy dektop speakers for movies, music, and gaming, so I got a pai of over the ear headphones. Sony MDR-V150s

I grabbed these at my local Staples for $20. They sound great, which is all that really matters to me. I love how these emphasize the bass, it feels like being at a movie theater. I definitley recommend these as a less expensive alternative or if you need an extra pair for some reason.
