Hello everyone, im going to rant a little bit in this post so bare with me.
So basically I am tired of playing games on my PS3 and having them perform like shit. Two out of three games that I have recently bought have both had problems with performance. The first would be Skyrim, but everyone already knows all about the issues that plague that game. The second is a game called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, this game was fine to begin with but then out of nowhere I start getting all of these damn problems during the game play. So I decided to look online to try and find if anyone else is having the same problems as me. I come to find that yes, multiple people are having the same problems, not as many as I would have thought but still some. The first problem is with the voices not playing while the text is displayed during chat with NPC's, this problem really isn't that big of a problem for me, whatever. The second is the frame rate issues while fighting multiple mobs of enemies, espeacially when you get groups of over five that all have combat animations that are complex as opposed to just them hitting or something like that. And now the main problem, the problem that has been pissing me off the most, the problem that has recently made it to where I cant even play this game for more than 5 minutes is that it just freezes after a small amount of play. Out of the last five times I have tried playing the game it has done this five times, the game is virtually un-playable at this point. Its a shame.
Possible fixes to this problem have been to delete the 4gb data that downloads onto the PS3 harddrive when you first play the game and then to reinstal it. Somehow that might fix the problem due to that info being currupt or something like that, there really wasn't a definite answer on the forums to why this would help. The second thing is to go into the options and turn off the connection to EA's servers while you play the game so that it somehow doesn't effect your gameplay. While reading the forums I saw that about 50% of people saw that those two options fixed the problem and the other 50% saw that nothing changed at all after trying these "solutions".
So this brings me to my conclussion, my closing thoughts if you will. Are you ready? because I know I am...
Stop releasing games that are broken video company's. All this shit seemed to have started with Skyrim, Bethesda released a game that they new was riddled with bugs, glitches and various other problems but still released it in order to make a profit sooner as opposed to fix the problem and make a profit later than they wanted. Not to mention their so called "patches" to fix the problem which by the way made the problems happen even more for me. In fact, I never even noticed said problems for Skyrim until I downloaded the damn patch onto my PS3. But Im getting off topic. I just in the long run want to thank 38 Studios for releasing a game that has problems that make it to where I can not play the game at all on my PS3. I pay $60 for a game that is unplayable and thats bull shit and should never happen. The other thing that is bullshit is that it only seems to be games for the PS3 that are effected by all of these problems. There is something wrong with your software or your gaming system in general Sony, fix this shit because at this point Im about ready to throw my PS3 away and upgrade(yes, I said upgrade) to an X-Box 360 because it seems like all of their games run just fine. Or as a third option, how about video game company's start making games like they used to. When I owned a PS2 I never once had issues like these, in fact I had no issues at all because all of my games ran perfectly and how they were meant to run. Fuck, even some of the horrible ports ran better, did anyone play Grandia 2 for PS3, that game was riddled with glitches and asthetic bugs but still ran like a dream when you played it and you know why, because it had a solid base even for a shitty port. What Im trying to say is, make games better. Instead of releasing them sooner then you should for profit take that time to make them better and fine tune the fucking game instead of making your fans and customers suffer.
Quick question: Any of you out there having these same problems or a problem with a different game? Let me know in the comments below.
That is all.

Hubrice and Glory
Your the epitome of glory while you bask in your win
There has never been another like you since the beginning
Your unrivaled in your actions, a legend at the least
All of us look up to you while you look upon the weak
But every reign has to end, you cant always be the king
We've been brought here but an almighty to remind you of this
There is always someone stronger, faster and better
Your hubrice has been allowed to go on much to long
Chorus:
You stand there defiant till the end
This hammer has fallen swiftly fromt he heavens
If you would have just listened to what we wanted you to do
You would still be here on this throne with all your glory
You have now been humbled by an almighty being
Not one of perfection but one of justice
Who's to say that everything he chooses is right
But when your at the top you make the rulles to abide by
We will be watching you, waiting for your return
But not to welcome you, to make sure you never rise
We've been chosen to monitor your progress back from the depths
We dont think you'll make it very far thru the brine and the muck
Chorus:
You stand there defiant till the end
This hammer has fallen swiftly fromt he heavens
If you would have just listened to what we wanted you to do
You would still be here on this throne with all your glory
As you grow older we will always be here to rimind you
Of the life you used to have and the fate that have fallen upon you
We realize its a harsh existence but one that has already been chosen
By an almighty being who will never forget
You will live the rest of your life with this mark of shame
Until the day you die this will always remain
When you make it to the gates of the afterlife you can give a rebutle
But until then live life in the brine and muck
There has never been another like you since the beginning
Your unrivaled in your actions, a legend at the least
All of us look up to you while you look upon the weak
But every reign has to end, you cant always be the king

A New Job
Just as the title of this blog implies, I have accepted a new job at another casino that is located in Coarsegold CA. The casino is called Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino and I have been given the job of Slot Floor Supervisor. I am very excited to start this new job, we are going to be moving thanks to this job offer as well, most likely to Oakhurst CA which will bring us a lot closer to both of our parents. The job at this new casino is a lot like the one I have been doing at Black Oak Casino with the exception of me being inside the cage, this time I am out on the casino floor for my whole eight hours. I used to do a job similar to the one I have gotten, being on the casino floor is a lot of fun, I get to interact with all the guests and the other employees. I'm looking forward to this very very much.
Now on to other stuff.
I have been playing this again,
Although it has been a while so I have been using the wiki a lot more then I probably should lol, but either way I'm happy i'm back to playing this game. I've also got it for my iphone so I've been taking advantage of that outlet as well as my computer.
You know what, lets do some quickie news, BYAHHHHHH!!!!!!
We have been watching Ponyo a whole lot in our house due to my 2 year old loving it with all of his heart. To be honest it's actually a great movie and most of the time I don't mind watching the movie with him.
My grandma is sick with the stomach flu, poor lady. I wanted to take the family to see her today but she said no. Lets hope that she gets better soon.
I was messing with my wife's facebook earlier since she left her profile logged in when I got onto our laptop, so this is what i wrote in her status. "I go poo poo in my pee pee pants when I do the scoopy dance. Bleep bloop boopity doo". She was only semi amused by this.

Well, that's about all I have for you today, until next time.

Powers Part Two
Hello again, this is going to be the second part of what might be a reacurring theme that will happen every so often. Back in mid 2011 I did Powers Part One which kind of show cased some super powers that I thought would be pretty cool to have. Well, here's part two, enjoy.
Energy Projection-There are a couple of examples of this that you can use but the one Im going to use would probably be more like Cyclops and Havok's way of doing it. The Energy projection im talking about would be able to be blasted from any part of the body and the main source of energy used as the projctile would be solar. Cyclops and Havok pull there energy from the sun's rays, think of them like a human solar panel. I like to think that the harder you concentrate the bigger and more powerful the beam would be. I guess a good example to use would be the bigger the strain the stronger the blast. Now, this is in fact my favoirte power but the biggest draw to it is the fact that you are now a glass cannon. You have all this power at your hands but something as simple as a strong hit to the head can take you out and its not like your impervious to bullets or anything. But, besides that last fact this is still my favorite power of them all.
Teleportation-Now, there are multiple forms of teleporting that are used in the Marvel U, Im going to be more relating to Nightcrawlers version. His is more of a short and fast teleporter, even at his best he was still only able to teleport like two miles at the most. This style is best suited for fighting due to you being able to hit an enemy and then teleport to there blind side again and achieve another hit. It could also be used to juggle an enemy in the air or teleport them to a distance where a large fall would either mame or kill your enemy. The only downside of this is that you really have to see where you are teleporting otherwise if you try to do it into a closed off room you might teleport into the actual geometry of a wall or some other object which would kill you technically severing your limbs or what ever part is in the wall. Kind of sucky^_^
Telekinesis-This power is definetly in my top five powers due to the fact that it works like a muscle, the more you use it and work it out the more powerful it becomes. In a sense this is almost like the ultimate power due to its many, and I mean many functions. At it's strongest you could pick up multiple cars and just fling them without having to move an actual muscle in your body. Or you can use it like a force push/pull, I mean, you could do so much it's rediculous. Look at Jean Grey, at her strongest she was a beast until the Pheonix Entity took over which technically amplified her powers to an even greater extent but Im getting off topic with that. With more use and control you could even construct a psychic barrier in order to protect your self or your party from bullets or other kinds of projectiles. Hell, you could even use it to literally crush soemone's organs inside of their body, it's such an awesome power and so viscious in the wrong or right hands.
Well, there you have it, those are the three powers for this post, I will have to think of some other powers that I enjoy to be in the part three of this series. Until then, PEACE!!!!!!!!!

NEW NEW NEW(un-caps)
Im not really sure what is up witht he title but I thought it looked cool, so yeah, it is what it is.
I got an awesome call over my weekend for an interview at another casino closer to my parents and my wife's parents. Im excited and have to get some new interview cloths so that I can look fresh to death. Here's a fun fact for all of you. Anytime I have had an interview for a job I have always gotten said job, I have a flawless record haha. Hopefully we can keep it the same way, if not then my streak will be broken and that would suck.
On to other stuff.
Actually, quickie news.
I have been playing a game called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the game is pretty bad ass. It's like a mix between Skyrim's open world, Mass Effect/Dragon Age's decision system, Devil May Cry's battle system and the visuals of World of Warcraft. As you can tell from my description it is an interesting mix of some of the gaming industries best games and the even crazier thing is that it works out perfectly. It's fun, enthraling and still leaves me wanting more. I've been sucked into it, it owns my soul.
My son pooped on me the other night.
My new tattoo is scabing like crazy, it sucks. Oh well, I knew what i was getting myself into ^_^
I forgot to wear my glasses tonight so i made a make shift eye patch but people made fun of it so i threw it away, poor eye patch. I even drew an eye on it T_T
Im going to be making a new youtube video soon, so look forward to that, it's going to have a friend of mine it. YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
And thats all for quickie news and this blog today, until next time people.

A Small Milestone
Hello everyone,
Today I just looked at my views and saw that I have finally broke the 1,000 blog views mark. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but it is to me and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who comes to this blog and reads the nonsense that I write. I enjoy writing this blog even though i don't always write everyday and sometimes take a week off at a time but I'm still doing it and hopefully your still reading it. So keep on reading, keep on enjoying and I will promise to keep writing, oh and to put more pictures up here since it is kind of rare that I do that.
So once again, thank you everyone.
Until next time.

My Tattoo's
So I recently went out and got a new tattoo at the local tattoo parlor near my house, the place is called West Side Ink and its located in Tuolumne. Its a pretty bad ass shop and pretty well renowned around the area that I live due to it's owner, his name is Tree and everyone I've ever talked to about him and his tattoo's say that he is the best in Tuolumne County. My tattoo was not done by Tree but instead was done by one of the other artists who happen to work at his parlor. That mans name is Anthony and just to clarify, he is a bad ass with a tattoo gun. I couldn't be happier with the way that my new tattoo came out, here are some reasons.
1. The lines on my Tattoo are so smooth and precise it makes me want to cry
2. He was such a down to Earth guy that I enjoyed the conversation that we had and I also ended finding out that we are neighbors.
3. Last but not least my tattoo was pretty reasonably priced, he could have tried to take advantage of me but he did not(And I don't mean sexually^_^)
So getting the new tattoo has inspired me to talk about the other tattoo's I have, kind of give some commentary on them and what not. So, join me on this trip down memory lane.
This is the first tattoo that I ever put on my body, as you can see it is a goth angel with the red and black for her back ground and is on the left side of my chest more near my left shoulder. This image was from the album cover of the first EP that my old band(Forgotten Masterpiece) and I made. I loved the image so much that I decided to get it tattoo'd on me, this piece took about 4-5 hours and unfortuantly is not done yet. The wings are supposed to be the same color as the back ground but I never went back in to have it finished. I got this tattoo when I was 22, it took a long time to find an image that I was passionate enough about to get it immortalized on my body. I still love this tattoo to this day, I don't generally try to get images that I will regret in the future. So that is number one, the first one, the one true love of my tattoo's, isn't she a beauty.
Ok, so this was the second tattoo that I got, I was 22 as well when I decided to get this one put on my right forearm. This image is from Naruto, it's the Hidden Village of the Sand's crest, this and my third tattoo are two of the most nerdiest things I have on my body. Now, this tattoo is bittersweet, I love it and this is what I wanted but as you can see the guy who did it sucked balls. Believe it or not he was a professional and I paid $60 for this which now thinking about it was a huge rip off. Despite the obvious flaws of this tattoo I still love it and I do plan on getting it fixed in the future. I'm actually happy that i don't remember the guy's name who did this tattoo because I would be putting him on blast right now, he should really go back to being an apprentice because he still has a lot to learn. Oh, and a side note, the guy was like in his 40's and was a "renowned"(I use that very loosely) tattoo artist in Tuolumne County.

Tattoo #3
Last but not least we are finally onto my third and final tattoo which was done last week. I already explained who did this tattoo and how awesome he was so lets go into what this means and why I got it put on me. So, if you have ever watched the animated series Avatar: The Last Air Bender or the shitty movie rendition that M. Night Shamalan called The Last Air Bender then you probably think that this looks familiar because it is the Water Tribe symbol. Now, I originally was not going to get this, in fact, I was just going to get the water sign for Aquarius but that is when my awesome wife suggested getting the water tribe symbol since it kind of had the Aquarius sing in it already. Kudos to that wonderful woman of mine^_^ So, I went and got it put on me, I like this tattoo a lot, it took me about 4 years from my last tattoo to this one, but I finally got another one, the lines are smooth and it just pops. Anthony at West Side Ink did a great job and I urge everyone in the Tuolumne area to go get some work done by him, you wont regret it.
If you interested in getting a tattoo done by Anthony or one of the other artists at West Side Ink then give them a call, the phone number is 209-928-1968 or go in there and see them, the address is 18382 Bay Ave. Tuolumne, CA 95379.
Also I'm going to end this post with a question. Do you have any tattoo's? If so let me know what you have and why you got it. Does it mean anything? Were you tough about it or did it hurt like hell? Well, until next time, later everyone.

I've Been Gone
Hello everyone,
So it's been a while since I last wrote and a lot has gone on in my life, all of which has been for the good and I really cant think of anything negative that has happened. Anyways, to start off with a quick question(to my readers)...
How have you been?
What's new in your life?
Played any good games lately?
Now, back to me.
So my family and I took a trip to Corcoran CA for my sister in law's baby shower which was on February 4th. It was an awesome trip, I had taken five days off from work which i planned along with my paid time off to get a whopping nine days off from my job. It was well received and much needed. I don't usually take this kind of time off very often, maybe like once a year when there is an occasion for it or something that just says, "take time off for me, it will be fun!". Anyways, back to the story. So we spent about 5 days in Corcoran during my nine day vacation. Most of those days were spent preparing for the baby shower since my wife and my mother in law still had other things that needed to be ready for the big day. We made a few Hanford trips for supplies and I also was able to finally use the $30 hot Topic Gift card that I had received from my sister during Christmas. We also visited with friends and family like my brother in law(we watched Kung Fu panda 2 at his place...EPIC!!!!) and my good friend Jake. Actually I was the only one who visited with Jake, I went to his place while the baby shower was going on, more on that as well.
As some of you know, my wife is a beautiful Mexican woman. Which means that her mom is a typical traditional Mexican mom and she fed me until I felt like I was going to burst open from my stomach. Holy poo!!!!!!!!!! I ate sooooooooooooooOOOOOOOO much it was ridiculous but so delicious at the same time it shouldn't even be legal. Now just to clear some stuff up. My mother in law makes some of the most awesome authentic Mexican food in the world, I could eat her food for the rest of my life if possible. Hell, I've even offered to have them move in with us when they get older just for this reason(Not the only reason but still a good one). So the food she makes is bomb, its a FACT!!!!! I'm guessing that i gained about ten pounds of much needed weight according to my mother in law. It was nice, I am a bit more fat now but my Mexican food quota has been filled for a while.
Now on to visiting my friend Jake. The day of the baby shower I went to Visalia to hang out with a good friend of mine while my wife and her family did the while baby shower thing. Since this baby shower was not for my wife I got the ok to do what ever I wanted and not have to chill at the shower. So onto my friend. My buddy Jake is an engineer somewhere in Visalia, he is a bad ass guy and the reason why i listen to the awesome music that I listen to. He recently bought a bad ass house which I stayed at and made fun of him for having so much room and nothing for all that space. So our night started out at Buffalo Wild Wings but we were not able to get in, so we went to some restaurant in down town Visalia(I think on Main Street) before we went to the movies. The restaurant was ok, it was a brewery as well. The short story for that place is that the wings sucked and the beer was ok, I've had better. Then we saw The Grey which was a great movie regardless of what people will tell you, so go see it now. Then we went back to Jake's place for a bit and after that tried our luck again at getting into Buffalo Wild Wings and this time it was a great success. I enjoyed their spicy garlic wings with a nice Blue Moon. After we went back to his place and GOT IT ON!!!!!!!!!!! Nah, just kidding, he busted out an air mattress for me and I proceeded to crash out like the old fogey that I am. It was nice^_^
The last leg of our trip was to Mariposa to visit my parents, we spent two days there catching up with my family and letting them enjoy the company of ourselves and our sons. My mom and dad are crazy for the kids since they don't get to see them that often. It also help that my kids love their gramma and grandpa so much. My oldest son had to get put in time out a couple of times at my mom's which was hilarious, my mom broke him in like w wild horse. And my youngest Caleb finally loves my mom, in the beginning she used to scare him which was pretty good to see and had a serious laugh factor to it. The wife and I even got a little alone time thanks to my parents watching the boys for a little bit for us, it was nice to have some time to our selves since we don't really get that at all.
So, to end this. Our little vacation was fun, we all had a good time and got to see tons of family and some really good friends. This is something that we don't really do very often, it was much needed. I will start writing more regularly now that we are back from our trip. So tomorrow should be a good blog as well, until then.

Now, back to me.
So my family and I took a trip to Corcoran CA for my sister in law's baby shower which was on February 4th. It was an awesome trip, I had taken five days off from work which i planned along with my paid time off to get a whopping nine days off from my job. It was well received and much needed. I don't usually take this kind of time off very often, maybe like once a year when there is an occasion for it or something that just says, "take time off for me, it will be fun!". Anyways, back to the story. So we spent about 5 days in Corcoran during my nine day vacation. Most of those days were spent preparing for the baby shower since my wife and my mother in law still had other things that needed to be ready for the big day. We made a few Hanford trips for supplies and I also was able to finally use the $30 hot Topic Gift card that I had received from my sister during Christmas. We also visited with friends and family like my brother in law(we watched Kung Fu panda 2 at his place...EPIC!!!!) and my good friend Jake. Actually I was the only one who visited with Jake, I went to his place while the baby shower was going on, more on that as well.
As some of you know, my wife is a beautiful Mexican woman. Which means that her mom is a typical traditional Mexican mom and she fed me until I felt like I was going to burst open from my stomach. Holy poo!!!!!!!!!! I ate sooooooooooooooOOOOOOOO much it was ridiculous but so delicious at the same time it shouldn't even be legal. Now just to clear some stuff up. My mother in law makes some of the most awesome authentic Mexican food in the world, I could eat her food for the rest of my life if possible. Hell, I've even offered to have them move in with us when they get older just for this reason(Not the only reason but still a good one). So the food she makes is bomb, its a FACT!!!!! I'm guessing that i gained about ten pounds of much needed weight according to my mother in law. It was nice, I am a bit more fat now but my Mexican food quota has been filled for a while.
Now on to visiting my friend Jake. The day of the baby shower I went to Visalia to hang out with a good friend of mine while my wife and her family did the while baby shower thing. Since this baby shower was not for my wife I got the ok to do what ever I wanted and not have to chill at the shower. So onto my friend. My buddy Jake is an engineer somewhere in Visalia, he is a bad ass guy and the reason why i listen to the awesome music that I listen to. He recently bought a bad ass house which I stayed at and made fun of him for having so much room and nothing for all that space. So our night started out at Buffalo Wild Wings but we were not able to get in, so we went to some restaurant in down town Visalia(I think on Main Street) before we went to the movies. The restaurant was ok, it was a brewery as well. The short story for that place is that the wings sucked and the beer was ok, I've had better. Then we saw The Grey which was a great movie regardless of what people will tell you, so go see it now. Then we went back to Jake's place for a bit and after that tried our luck again at getting into Buffalo Wild Wings and this time it was a great success. I enjoyed their spicy garlic wings with a nice Blue Moon. After we went back to his place and GOT IT ON!!!!!!!!!!! Nah, just kidding, he busted out an air mattress for me and I proceeded to crash out like the old fogey that I am. It was nice^_^
The last leg of our trip was to Mariposa to visit my parents, we spent two days there catching up with my family and letting them enjoy the company of ourselves and our sons. My mom and dad are crazy for the kids since they don't get to see them that often. It also help that my kids love their gramma and grandpa so much. My oldest son had to get put in time out a couple of times at my mom's which was hilarious, my mom broke him in like w wild horse. And my youngest Caleb finally loves my mom, in the beginning she used to scare him which was pretty good to see and had a serious laugh factor to it. The wife and I even got a little alone time thanks to my parents watching the boys for a little bit for us, it was nice to have some time to our selves since we don't really get that at all.
So, to end this. Our little vacation was fun, we all had a good time and got to see tons of family and some really good friends. This is something that we don't really do very often, it was much needed. I will start writing more regularly now that we are back from our trip. So tomorrow should be a good blog as well, until then.
