Call of Duty: Black Ops

Foster Sims — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 03:51:11 +0000

Black Ops is finally here! Midnight release was intense. Hundreds of people lining up to get possibly the greatest Game of the Decade and guaranteed to be Game of the Year.

There were over 4 million players online on Call of Duty: Black Ops after midnight release. This game is unbelievable when it comes to customization. You can customized your classes, perks, equipment, guns, camouflages, etc… You now have a new currency on this new and improved Call of Duty. Call of Duty points are earned every game from completing challenges and getting kills. You use these points to unlock contracts, which are challenges you have to complete in a certain time limit to get paid Call of Duty points. You mostly use Call of Duty points to unlock guns, gun attachments, camouflages, perks, equipment, etc… You use these points for everything.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is my top pick for Game of the Year and for Game of the Decade. It is truly the most amazing war game ever created!

Apple iPad

Foster Sims — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:20:02 +0000

After nearly a year of speculation apple has finally released information on its new product the iPad, many were hoping for the first Apple tablet computer. Sadly many were disappointed. The iPad is basically just a big iPod touch.

We were expecting something to run Snow Leopard (Apple’s newest operating system). The iPad runs the basic iPhone software though, with some minor alterations to the E-Mail and Safari apps.

The iPad also lacks a camera. Come on Apple it is 2010 even phones have at least one camera if not two.

There will be two models a Wi-Fi and a 3G Version. The 3G iPad will most likely run on AT&T’s data plan. Unlimited data is$29.99 a month. A 250MB plan, will be available for half that at $14.99 a month.

App wise the iPad can run anything for the iPhone and some developers can make apps for it that will take advantage of the iPad’s large 9.7 inch screen.

Tweet Tweet. What do you think of when you hear those words? A lot of people think of birds chirping but ask any celebrity or social networking fanatic and you will get a different answer. Twitter, the new social networking site that is taking the world by storm one “Tweet” at a time. Twitter is a new social networking site where people can interact with each other by sending small 140 character messages (named “tweets”) to friends, family, or anyone that is “following” them. Celebrities have been taking advantage of this and use it as a new way to connect and interact with their fans. Some celebs like Ashton Kucher and Ellen DeGennerous have used this to connect with fans. Fans love being able to connect with them when asked “What’s your favorite thing about Twitter?” Keenan Stroup answered, “I like seeing what celebrities are doing.”
Twitter is so versatile because you can update it almost anywhere. If you have a mobile phone you can update Twitter. You can update online, send text message updates, or some mobile phones like the iPhone and Blackberry have Twitter applications.

New Slimmer PS3

Foster Sims — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:47:58 +0000

What do you do when you get home from school? Do you watch TV? Do you exercise? Well for some people they love to go home and play Call of Duty: World at War on their PS3 or Xbox 360. But some people can’t play games because they can’t afford a Playstation 3, because of its $499 price tag. Well Sony knows that in this recession some people can’t afford to buy a system that’s expensive.
This new system is smaller than the previous version. It also has a bigger hardrive than some of the previous systems. The PS3 Slim boasts a 120 GB hardrive, unlike two of its ancestors who’ve only had a 40 and 80 GB drive. This machine also runs a lot more quietly than the existing PS3. It uses 34 percent less power and takes up 32 percent less space. Sony hopes that this new system will improve sales for the PS3 during these trying times.
