New Halo 2 Maps and a Shelby GT500KR

Ok, so you like playing Halo 2, right? Then you will be thrilled to know that Bungie still thinks of their longtime fans even as the much awaited Halo 3 is in the oven waiting to be released, apparently, this winter (which actually makes many of us gamers to wish this year a good bye). Two new maps, Tombstone and Desolation are coming this way this April 17th for just 4 bucks (320 Microsoft Points, aprox). This new maps are based on two of the original Halo, Hang'em High and Derelict.

The story at Bungie.net to prove it's not an aprils Fool joke here, and some screenshots of the new arenas here with a very funny explanation.

On other story, a new pony is on the make by Ford, designated the Shelby GT500KR (KR stands for King of the Road, if you don't know) and will sport a 5.4 lt supercharged V8 delivering 540 nightmares of power. You want one? well, hurry up and save your money. Only a thousand of these mudafuckas will be created. Cheers!

Zune Premium Earphones

Well, I 'had' the Premium earphones offered by MS and I really loved them. The bass and crystal clear sounds they produced were like nothing I heard before. But yesterday was a, let's say, disillusion as suddenly one side (the left side) just went mute. I took it off one minute, turned off my zune, came back and put it back. While i was putting it back, I could hear music coming from it then nothing. I have already plugged another pair of EP into my zune and plugged the premium EP into my girlfriend's Zen.

It's been a day since this shitty experience and began listening to my zune through regular earphones. Let me say regular earphones suck and after a while (1 hour) my ears begin to hurt. Too bad I threw away the box/receipt, I've got one year warranty and the EP were out not long after the zune (Nov 14, '06). I would buy a new pair, miss the clear sound and the deep base but a similar pair of EP will suffice.

Damn, MS, how come my EP just lasted what, a little more than one month?

Black X

Finally, for those who were waiting for the rumours to be true, may all of you rest now: The X is coming to you in black, it's official. It's coming out on April 29 and only at $479.99 USD. The new stuff in it? Well, all the accesories are black:

• The console (obviously)
• Controller (sold separately for 49.99, wireless of course) the only thing is, are they going to sell black rechargeable batteries, it sure will suck if they don't...
• 120 GB hard drive (sold separately for 179.99) regular color i believe judging from the picture...
• Headset
• An HDMI cable, for those of you, lucky bastards, to own one of these tv's/Home teathers. Oh, its black too ;)
• A SILVER xbox live membership (really, i get this too??? FOR FREE??? May god protect you from all harm in the upcoming Apocalypse, MS)
• One mont of gold.
• Oh yes, they will sell the play & charge kit (19.99) and batteries(11.99), both in black.

I would buy this bastard if i had the cashiiin, I do not, DAMN.... Darth Pupa, would you buy this, even if it's black? Clan del Onyx eh?!

Eclipsed by the Moon

Ok, i have taken too much time already for just two videos that I can't upload to Youtube, as frustrating as it is and the fact that they are cool (you could see the concert thru my eyes), I just can't wait to share these thoughts with you, my dear IR.

This past March 2, 2007, a living legend came to Monterrey for the first time (i believe). His name IS Roger Waters and the stadium where the concert took place is now considered holy ground (at least by me), we're just waiting for the paperwork.

Anyway, this is the best concert I've been in. Stereo sound, amazing bass, hypnotic visuals. I mean, in Dark Side of the Moon, laughter would come from behind you, I have never heard this in a concert before. The pig, whose name I have forgotten was realesed. This concert was not just a concert, it was The Concert by which upcoming events shall be measured.

The setlist is as follows:

Act I

• In the Flesh
• Mother
• Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
• Shine on you Crazy Diamond
• Have a Cigar
• Wish you Were Here
• Southampton Dock
• The Fletcher Memorial Home
• Perfect Sense
• Leaving Beirut
• Sheep
• One of These Days

Act II

• Dark Side of the Moon

Act III

• The Happiest Days of Our Lives
• Another Brick in the Wall (Pt2)
• Vera
• Bring the Boys Back Home
• Comfortably Numb

300

I am not going to go deep within the story, only that this is the best epic/action movie of the year 2007. Based on the Battle of Thermopylae interpreted by Frank Miller (you might remember him as the creator of the Sin City story, from which the movie of the same name was based on) in which 300 spartans stood against a vast Persian army.

You're "wowed" with every scene, the score is truly amazing and the photography is, well, just spectacular. There are no 'slow' scenes and the dialogues make you say "yeah!". Definitely an I-have-watched-it-X-times movie.

Just go and watch it! And watch it again and again! I know I will...

A drunk Squirrel, some Poker and Tenori-on

Three youtube videos (which i hope is not closed anytime soon, because of the Viacom lawsuits(damn lawyers)) that I found interesting if not hilarious. One of them, the poker one, i have not watched it, due to the fact that almost everyone in the company I work for can watch my screen from a very long distance. Anyway, the squirrel one is kind of funny, and the Tenori-on I'm sure many musicians will kill each other for this one-thousand-dollars-touch-screen gadget, developed by Toshio Iwai, the brain behid the Nintendo DS.

Cheers.

Tenori-on
