Lazy sundays.....

So on a lazy sunday like this with it raining outside there is only one thing to do. Watch many many episodes of How I Met Your Mother, and maybe study some of my GRE's.

But in the mean time this video of the VazquezSounds cover of Adele's Rolling in the Deep....is amazing. At such young ages the three Vazquez siblings almost catch you off guard with how amazing their cover truly is.

This is every project ever

So...i saw this on thedailywhat today. It describes all projects ever worker on. lol

5 Things of Positivity

So you can always be mad about things that don't go your way, but lately I have come to accept a different concept. My brother, studying social work at Columbia University, recently told me a piece of advice when I had become upset/angry. When things become hard, stop a moment and think of five positive outcomes of your upset. If you truly cannot think of 5 positive outcomes then you can be upset. If you can, then accept the positives and make the most of a bad situation.

With my left leg injury continuing into its 6th month, and basically ruining any chance of returning to running soon, I had become quite upset and angry. Angry that others disregard the ability to run, while i had to sit with mine with a somewhat unknown injury. But while in New York the other week and introduced to this new "5 Things of Positivity"

1) New Forms of exercise (biking, weights)
2) Save my knees/back/hips from years of running
3) Greater care of self/health
4) Yoga strengthening lessons
5) Motivation to run again

MW3...versus BF3

So...having blown about $134 on two video games so far both Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3. There has been a constant argument over which is better. Ill give a slight review with an insight into the FPS franchise as a whole. The BF3 game I believe had some pretty solid graphics with the new Frostbite 2 engine. The PS3 having some slightly less graphic producing capability, but still it was quite smooth with as well impressive audio. I found as well that the story seemed a little slow...but at the same time I readable enjoyed it. The reason for its slower feeling was because in the last 4 years the gaming industry has been saturated with the Michael Bay type FPS as MW3, with unrealistic plot lines and over the top exaggerations on world wars but single character ambitions. Though the MW arena is fun, I often feel tired of facing enemies with unrealistic character ambitions. BF3 was quite refreshing with a sense back to basics and the thought that you may just be in a real conspiracy of some sort.

This is not to say I didn't enjoy MW3. I love the character development of MW3's Soap, and Price over the last three games, unlike BF3 which never truly allowed you to feel close enough to characters for you to actually care for their lively hood.

Overall Both games enjoyable with modern length campaigns, but the question still remains of when will the industry push the FPS into something fresh. Yes...we all love fighting the same enemy, in the same year, with the same tactics. But the saturation of the market in the last 5 years with repeat games has created somewhat of a stale feeling. I am hoping that with the current trend of Activision/Treyarch every other year that Treyarch will step up to the plate and reinvent the FPS trend.
