Yeah, that's right, last year I was able to get an invitation to the gears of war presentation in spain, so guess what?? I did it again... and this time is Halo 3 goodness. The event was both a press event and a contest to find the best Halo player in spain but I only got second place which is fair enough! I only wanted to play the game, I had no interest on the contest. Also, it was the final version of the game which is not bad at all, it's pretty awesome indeed! I'm 3 times more hyped than before! Also, there was a guy dressed as Master Chief and I "sort of" hot chick dressed as a Marine so I took some pictures of my brother and some friends of mine with master chief. Sad thing is, I only got to try the Zanzibar MP level of the final version for 30 to 40 minutes but if it was up to me... Man... I would camp in there and Keep playing all day long! Anyway, it's only a few weeks and we can get to "Finish the Hype" on Halo 3! Man, two long weeks... That's going to be a great day, not only because september 25th it's the day where we get our official games on our homes, but because we'll even be able to try ourselves Crysis for the very first time! Now that's a great day to remember!!

Yeah! It's not really the title of a horror flick, more like a horrific post! Came back from the dead I did, It's been way too long, how long was it? December? Man, sure miss this. You may wonder what was going on with me, or maybe you don't, It's a bit simple, had a car accident and my parents had to be hospitalized, so I had to take care of things back at home. Let's just say it didn't leave room for much gamespoting. Did bought me a PSP though, to keep those long hours of waiting for results at bay. Anyway, they're all safe and sound and I'm back into action. It's good to be back at posting!!!

Hey guys! Long time no blog post, huh? I know, I know, I should post
more often on my blog but there wasn't anything substantial enough for
me to write about... but trust me, I have some great things to talk
about.

First,
this last saturday was my birthday, it was a cool one, but rather calm.
I was mainly with my girlfriend, she spend the whole weekend at my
house with my family and I, watching movies, playing halo in coop and
so on. She's not a gamer, the last game she ever played before meeting
me was blood, and that's a rather... old title, but she's adapting
somehow, I'm converting her! Soon she'll join my ranks of evil
gamers...! The best part was the day before my B-day, you see, first, I
received my new home cinema for my room, is a new Sony A/V receiver
with a 7.1 speaker system... Man, after a whole afternoon connecting my
pc, Xbox, a new DVD (it has HDMI HD upscaling, the main reason why I
bought it), digital tv... when I first turned it on I was blown away.
Yesterday I made an official test, inviting my parents and my brothers
to my room for a moment, I made them watch for a moment War Of the
Worlds, when the first tripod appears... Man!! Beautiful sound! Just
Beautiful! I already had a 5.1 A/V Receiver but crappy speakers, just
so you know, they were old 30 w speakers, now they're 150 W. Cool huh?
Huge difference, and playing Halo2 on Coop was great, I noticed a huge
difference.

But that's not all, I also got my hands on a copy of
Double Agent, I couldn't test it so far, it's still wrapped, but soon
my friends, soon... Anyway, what was really exciting though, was the
fact that I received a message that I was invited to a limited, private
party for Gears Of Wars, an event here in madrid organised by
Microsoft, the official presentation of Gears Of War in Spain where
I'll be able to play Gears of War a whole hour, I could do anything I
want with it, play solo or MP, of course, I'll play MP with the other
winners. Man... I couldn't hide my excitement, tomorrow is the
presentation so expect my Hands on this thursday! All of this a day
before my B-Day, huge contrast, in comparison, my B-day didn't hold any
more surprises! So, guys, some report huh?

Well well well... It's been a long time since I left, but, as we all now, just as good could never die, so does evil! So here I am, refreshed, back into bussines and with some juicy upgrades! Yes, as in "I've just level up!", or "My cycle now does 120 points of damage instead of just 30!!", but all of this refered to my pc that is. First, I bought a new case, the aerocool extreme 3t, it was an improvised purchase since I had planned to do so by the time I buy an entire new pc, component by component, but since that case has some really 'cool' cooling (and effective, I must add) and my rig was... well, let's just say that you could boil an egg if you wanted (not really but...). And then, my evil minions, I am a creature who believes in temptation and I try to run from it, (but extreamly slow so I know for sure it can catch up) I came across with the all mighty xfx geforce 7950 gx2 Xtreme edition and man, I got tempted, as I looked at it I couldn't help but approach and speak to it "I shall embrace you as my son and use your power to inflict maximun damage on are enemies as we march our united forces into conflict!". So I ran home, did some numbers and every arrow pointed to a new realm of bloodshed... BUT (there's always a but) there was some motherboard list, and mine wasn't listed as either compatible or not! So, being the kamikaze I am, I bought it anyway and it worked like a charm... Fortune favors the Evil!! Muahaha !

And I also bought another gb of ram, that makes it 2. So far, my jump from my great 6600 gt to the 7950 gx2 is speachless, I couldn't do a lot of testing since I took the oportunity to change the paste of my processor too, but fear run with all things maxed out, ALL, highest resolution and it never ran lower than at 35 fps, oblivion also maxed out at the highest settings (even res) and it also went great. The only negative point I've found is that it can't run aa and hdr at the same time... that's it.

So... quite some return, isn't it??

Hey guys, been a long time without a blogpost from dear old posho, well, I may be off for a while, nothing out of the ordinary, it's just that I can't be sure if I'll be able to log on daily... I'll try to do my best to keep my officer duties. Anyway, let me give you a heads up, there's been a lot of activities in my office today, lots of important figures of the company love to stop by often and whenever they see me at gamespot... well, they leave me be but they don't like it, and at my home I'm kind of busy preparing my self for exams and so on, I will get online every now and then, I love gamespot and I love too to post on your blogs and so on, hopefully things will change this week, but I felt you guys deserve some explanation for my not that often posting. So, let's keep our fingers crossed so I can return to be as evil as I am

So, since I didn't know what else to post and because it's been some time since my last update... and because I want you, my dear fans, to have something of mine to read... I fear I will tell you about my recent online shopping.
I've found some month ago and online store which I became addicted, it's play.com, and not only sales almost everything very cheap, but also they have free shipping. I used to have whatever I bought at my doorstep in about 6 days, but... after I bought a movie... it became even longer, 6 days is nothing, but my last acquisition came home 20 days later. Afterwards I bought some baldur's gate games, Icewind dale too... and also, Over G fighters for my 360. I really love aircraft, so I'm desperate for playing such a game... It should have arrived last friday. Anyway, patience is a virtue...

I Know I'm not making too many blog post lately, there are lots of stuff to tell but I'll keep it simple!! Well, for starters, I bought out of curiosity a new game for my 360, Table tennis, it's quite addictive, but I bought it for those days when you get visits and want to play something simple and fun, so it will cover such a need!!

Second, I've been going much to my pool these days, the hot weather and my tired muscles after work basicaly begs for it!! I like to swim much, I'm a fish in the water (more like a shark cuz I like to fight with my brothers, they drink tons of water when I'm arround!! )

Third, Argentina lost... it made me angry how that match was, it was so obvius that many things were arranged (the refery? anyone??), you can't land your knee on the goalkeep so hard that got him out of the game and not even bother to show a yellow card to the responsable player! And afterwards? Germany looking for a fight? And fifa who did they blamed? Argentina of course. Dirty play is the lower form of sports. In any case, here in spain they made a documentary out of that match, showing and outlining how unfair that match was, to the point that fifa edited that match for the local german tv channels erasing many faults made by germany. That only shows one thing, they were that much afraid.

Finally, I would like to announce that I bought myself a new mobile phone!! It's a nokia 6680, it kicks a$$, I've expent the entire weekend upgrading it, looking for software, tunning it up, changin themes... It's just awesome!

So that's it, that was my week, nothing out of the extraordinary to mention, but I wanted to keep you guys updated on every thing posho

Sorry people, but something came up with my gf (nothing bad, on the contrary) so I'll be leaving for a short period, just a few days, from saturday all the way through monday so I'll be back on tuesday. There's still more posho though! It's still not even friday!!

In other news, I escaped my prison!! Today I've decided to call in sick, you know, too much pressure with the world cup and so on, so I've enjoyed a peaceful day, after breakfast I've watched a movie I saw on tv, the dawn of the dead, cool film, then went to the doc, I'd read some book, and went to gaming, after that... well, some more gaming, lol, in any case, I needed a day off, I was going crazy if you haven't noticed .

I would like to thank those of you who trusted in me and made me an officer in both The Crysis and the Online Community Unions, I can only express my gratitude by stating that I'll try my very best effort in being one hell of an evil officer, I will burn the crops of those opposing our beliefs, our gaming habits, gladly take those precious candy lollipops out of babies if my fearless leaders wish me to do so, and yes, hit with a very hard object in the face those who brake the rules! Yeah baby, yeah! I always kind of like the hitman activities, it's good exersice!! Now, I shall lead my army and crush the pity full forces of the enemy swiftly with my precious blade , follow me evil minions!!

Perhaps some of you may have notice that I haven't posted much this last weekend, I've been having some trouble finding time for either online and gaming life, but if all goes well I'll soon return to normal, hope you didn't miss me! I was rather a frequent poster but this last few days I had to focus on my room yet again, my gf (she's having a tough time with her diploma), my career, and so on. The good news is that I've managed to find myself a flightschool near my home, just a 20 min ride! I was going to take a look today but since it's raining outside and I was hoping to have those baptice flights for free... had to leave it for next weekend! Sad... but good things happen to those who wait!!

By the way, I'm an evil butterfly now, and that's great cuz... no one could suspect of a butterfly!! May the world tremble at the sign of my passing!!

I've slowly worked my way through level 5... and I was at 99.98, so, close to leveling up, and now I'm at level 7??? Damn!! As far as I know, 5 + 1=6, so it seems that GS has to recheck their math 'cuz... I'm at 7 In any case, YEAH BABY YEAH!! Say hello to Posho Evolved!!!!

Finally I've managed to get my hands on some beautifully crafted katana set!! Black, ninja style, and all of it is neatly placed just on top of my collection of martial arts mementos, my hall of pride, so to speak, that's where I keep my ninjutsu and kung fu wares, and of course my very first training gear (both ninjutsu and kung fu). All of these just besides my beautiful LCD TV Oh yeah, the room of desire!! Now, all I need now is a new set of speakers for the tv and that's it!! Can't ask for more, lol.
I should post you guys some pics if you're interested. BTW, what kinds of crazy stuff do you keep at your rooms?

That was yesterday but who cares?? 6/6/6!!! Let's party!!! And what a better way to conmemorate this day than having this baby reviewed??

http://www.gamespot.com/features/6152217/index.html

I was hoping for something like this to come out.

Also... As an evil mind I must ask, what was the most craziest thing any of you ever did?? Or... would do? Any giving day you may wake up, having that irresistible itch at the back of your head, that inner voice... asking you to do... bungee jumping yeah!!! C'mon! Start posting

... Today GranPosho ain't so gran (gran means great in spanish, just so you know). I woke up in the morning and when I went to say hi to my dad, he was with a grim expression on his face. It turns out that on the night... well, you know that expression that says that whenever people call late at night, it can't be good news? Never been so true. Over night my uncle called my dad to let him know that his mother, my grandma was hit by a car... They managed to reanimate her but eventually she passed away. She was a great person, in my heart she'll always be. The saddest thing was... that she wasn't hit in the middle of the street while crossing it... she got hit in the middle of a food store parking lot!! Who drives so bad that you can't see an old woman who can't run... in the middle of a parking lot?? I'm furious... In any case, she lived overseas, so now I'll be off to buy my dad a plane ticket.

Here's to you grandma... A tribute for you... you'll live forever in my heart.

... What's a tapper? In any case... YAY!! Level up! At last!!

...Ever felt that deep inside you there's a part of you trying to get out?
That once you accidentally triggered that part you're not the same?
Sometimes it's because you're forced not to listen to that part, which is a bad thing, but you know what's worst?
Listening to that part, discovering it, reach that new world and then BANG!!
Back to that incomplete you. Ever happened to you? There were a few things in my life that made me feel that way... Please, share your thoughts, what do you feel sleeping inside of you? Ever tried waking it up?? Let's get to know each other a little better

Do you see it? The sleeping giant it's about to wake up! Soon my friends, SOON... I will level up and with my new powers I will make the earth shake!! The sky will shatter and the very fabric of the universe will colapse... or maybe not, lol, I WANT MY NEW LEVEL!!
Let's push that damn progress bar!! Damn you!! C'mon! Help me out!

Take a look at this

At this rate, instead of punching buttons, we will be kicking the living cr@p out of "people"

...I start considering my future consumer plans... I was planning to upgrade my pc by the beginning of 2007. You know, total conversion, acquire a great cpu, new rig, memory... and yes, sli cards (or crossfire if I see fit). But now... with lot's of great games with incredible graphics coming out for next gen systems... perhaps instead of dual cards, I could just buy 1 and for the price of the second I could easily afford a ps3... (I already own a 360) so what do you guys think the best move would be? Expend those extra 600 on a ps3 or get a second card? Oh god! The pain!! The dilemma!!

Ahhh... the satisfaction of leveling up... Ranks, it does the body good!!
