E-Juicing
So I've been playing a lot of MLB '10 The Show since it came out and I suck in just like all the other MLB: The Show games I've played. They main mode I play in is the "Road to the Show" mode where you are in control of just one player as you take him from the minor leagues all the way to up to majors. It is very detailed from the creation of the player to RPG-ish elements in leveling up your player's skill sets. The problem is, I stink, really bad. I chase out of the zone most of the time, I can't time pitches up, I always get caught leading too far off base and I can never judge where a fly ball is heading as my player is a Right Fielder. Recently I was looking around the PSN online store and saw they had add-on packs for MLB 10': The Show. One pack was for classic stadiums, more Franchise money and Training points in the "Road to the Show" mode. For $.99 you could add 1000 points to spend on your player to improve all aspects from hitting to bunting abilities, speed, and fielding skills. To me this was a way to level up easily away from the way you do it in the game by getting good stats and accomplishing goals set for you by the coaches. To me, it felt like a derivative of taking performance enhancing drugs in real life sports to improve oneself outside of the "usual" way. So, I was there with a small e-moral dilemma in gaming of if I should buy these points. If to me this falls under cheating or at least "not working hard or grinding" towards leveling up....but I eventually said to myself it was just a game, and single player experience at that. Also, I remembered how much I sucked at it and how the announcers never let me forget that. So, about $5 later, I hit my first home run, well improved my RBI's and might finally get out of AA and at least hang around in AAA until someone gets hurt in the Majors.

Somebody Please Stop Me
Ok, so I hop onto my Xbox360 and for some reason and I look at the Avatar Marketplace just to look around. But I saw this and I don't think I can help myself from buying something. I need someone to stop me from buying into useless crap. I don't think I can help myself. It looks so kick ass

Short and to the point.
I've never bought a special edition for a game in my life and never saw my self ever feeling the need to. I think for the most part they are over priced, over hyped and their are very few gaming franchises I am that deeply devoted to that I would kick out the extra cash for a special edition. Until today when I saw this for one of my favorite gaming franchises and I had a moment where I am seriously contemplating actually buying this special edition for $99.99. Is there something wrong with me?

Ironic Stuff
Ok, here is my Ironic 360 story. I think my Xbox360 is messing with me, seriously. I think it all started when I bought a Ps3 about two weeks ago and had to slide my 360 down a shelf in my entertainment cabinet. I guess it got jealous and decided to mess with me because as soon as I got in more playing time with the Ps3 the Xbox decided to, lets say, fuck up. I've had it for over three years and now I have to sadly say I know how the dreaded red rings of death. And since it has been over three years, my warranty has expired and to top it all off two days before this happened Xbox decides to automatically renew my year subscription of the gold membership. |
