So, for the last week in a half we have not had our computer because it has been with best Buy and their affiliates that fix computers that have taken a dive. Turns out the power supply had burnt out and since I had upgraded the original power supply they did not fix it. It's cool though, I had a feeling that this might happen. When we picked it up today I bought a new power supply and now I am typing this blog. Fortuantly I just bought the same exact type of power supply that I got last time. I'm pretty sure that I know what burnt out my power supply, it was most likely a combination of always being on and accumulated dust through out the computer's insides. before I put the new power supply in I made sure to blow it out with some canned air and then put the new power supply in. Now...
IT"S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So with my computer being fixed I have finally been able to play Diablo 3. I haven't really played a whole lot of it but it's alright so far, I wouldn't say that it's crazy good at this point in the game but who knows, maybe once I've gotten through act two my opinion on it will change. I do have to give blizzard credit for the graphics, compared to Diablo 2 they are a million times better and the game runs so smooth. The only thing that is bugging me so far is the fact that there is not a skill tree what so ever, most dungeon crawlers always have some sort of a skill tree. Although this does bug me just a little I do have to give Blizzard props for trying something new, something that most of their fans were not expecting. Also the way they have it isn't that bad, it's an interesting idea that does work well, it's just going to take a while for me to get used to. All and all, it's not to bad so far and I am really excited to play through the game and enjoy it as well.
On to the topic of Dungeon crawlers, there is another one coming out soon and it is called Torchlight 2. I have the first Torchlight on my steam account and it is not a bad game, just get's a bit repetitive like most dungeon crawlers do after you have played them for long enough. The thing about Torchlight that bugs me the most is actually the opposite of what bugs me on Diablo 3. It's Torchlight's skill tree that bugs me. Basically all three classes(Destroyer, Alchemist and Vanquisher) have the same three skill trees just with different names. The first one is an experience booster/looter, the second one is like a basic magic one and the third skill tree is based on each classes specific skill. It reminds me a lot of the first Marvel Ultimate Alliance, every character literally had the same attack, just a different name and animation but did the same exact type of damage as all of the other characters special attacks. It bugged me so much. I still have yet to play Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 for that reason. Other than that one issue Torchlight is a pretty good game, I would recommend that you go get it on steam, I believe it's pretty cheap as well since Torchlight 2 comes out soon.
I guess this blog turned into a game type blog as opposed to a getting my computer type blog. Oh well.
Until next time.

Fresno Grizzlies
So Last Wednesday my family and I along with two friends of mine went to a Fresno Grizzlies game and had an awesome time. I felt it needed to be shared because we got some awesome pics of all of us at the game and I don't really have a whole lot of pics in my blogs. So here it is.
First up is a picture of Jose, Manske and myself during the game. Jose and Manske are two of my friends from Sonora, all of us worked at the same casino so it was really nice to see these guys again. I think at this point we were like two beers in and feeling pretty good. We ended up drinking a lot of Tecate that night and lets just say that it's not as forgiving the next day.
Arily and Caleb took a pic together. It was nice because both my wife and Caleb seemed to enjoy the game a lot. We don't go to a lot of things like this so it was nice to get out of the house with the whole family for a day of fun and excitement. Plus Caleb seemed to be really into the game, almost like he was in awe or something like that.
Mikel had some fun but he is kind of at that age where if he doesn't like something then it's really downhill from there. I think he enjoyed the game for like ten minutes and then spent the rest of the game playing on my Iphone. But, we got him out of the house and I'm thinking that the more we go to these games the more he will start to like Baseball.
We have Jose and Caleb in this pic. As you can see both of them are the whitest Mexicans I know and they kind of look alike as well, I think that Jose could pass for Caleb's uncle if we tried to convince someone that he was.
And last but not least we have one of our fun make shift family pics. This is usually how pics of the four of us go, one of the kids is trying to get away and the other is happy, it's just how we are.
After it was all said and done we had a pretty good time. I was happy to be hanging out my good friends and my wonderful family the whole time. We also got free In-N-Out that night as well which was a way added bonus. I think we are going to go to another game here soon, the Fresno Grizzlies park is an awesome place to see a fun and cheap game. You walk in there and it feels like you are a major league game, it just has that awesome feel to it. So if you get a chance hit up a game or two and bring the family with you or some friends.
Until next time.

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.

37% Downloaded
So I mentions a friend of mine named Cody in my blog yesterday and how he gifted me a game called Torchlight. Well, today he gifted me another game, a great game, the game of all games that put a lot of other games to shame with its awesome-ness. He gifted me, duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........
BORDERLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and then I, BOUGHT THE DLC for BORDERLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started my download of Borderlands today at about 12:30pm, when I had finally awoken from my slumber only 37% of the game had been downloaded...
WHAT!!!!!!!!! SHITTY INTERNET?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Yes, that is insane. My computer is up to par but it is our Internet, the Internet of a small town being choked to death by a provider who only has one central hub and can afford to charge what ever they want and do whatever they want because they know that you have absolutely no choice but to use "their" Internet. But alas, there is a new hope. And that new hopes name is...
XFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(there are a lot of all caps in this one today)
The only thing that is bad with this is that I have to wait for my contract with the company I am currently with for my home phone and Internet to run out. Then and only then(unless I want to pay a ridiculous cancellation fee) can I get this Xfinity that everyone is talking about and finally be in the "cool kids" Internet club and have blazing fast speeds(not my label but the Xfinity self proclaimed label). I'm guessing that they run off of fiber optics, that would probably explain all of the praise for this company's Internet ways.
School starts in like, well, I don't know the total days and I don't really feel like doing the math so I will tell you the actual date..........

Limitless
Just got done watching Limitless, holly shit that was a good movie, if it wasn't for a friend at work telling me to watch it I wouldn't have given it a try. I know this is going to sound hella gay but Bradley Cooper is a beast, I think I have a man crush but then I remember him from Wedding Crashers and it goes away. Anyways, I'm getting off track here. Go watch Limitless, its on Netflix so if you have that then watch it there, if not then find it somewhere on the internet for free or go to Blockbuster, DO IT!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, here is a random picture of me taken a couple of days ago.
I started up a mage in Skyrim. I've decided to just try different classes now to really see which ones I like and which ones I do not. Not to mention that there are so many different kinds of characters that you can make that it gets kind of ridiculous but oh well, I'm going to make this shit legit...
TO LEGIT TO QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my lanta, I've got nothing left, I cant think of anything to write so I guess this is it for today, sorry for the short blog. Maybe next time I will make it bigger. I'm going to leave you with a picture, ENJOY.

Housing
My wife and I have recently been chatting about getting some land and a manufactured home for said land, this would make it our own... Or the banks until we payed off the loan. I'm excited, I have never owned a house before and revel in the fact that this is a strong possibility, this would get me out of renting which I have been doing since I was at the tender age of 18. One of the coolest things about this is that we are probably going to get at least an acre or two of land, so if I so desire I could always have a tennis/basketball court built behind the house. EPIC!!!!!!!! Once this is done I could make my two children play and practice one of the two until they are the best, I will be like Tiger Woods father or the Williams sister's father. YOU WILL PRACTICE AND YOU WILL LIKE IT^_^
I have been thinking of other things I would like to see on our land. One thing I think we need as soon as possible would be some kind of car port/cover, kind of like the metal ones that are just a foundation with exposed sides and a cover on the top. This way when it snows we do not have to dig our cars out, instead we would only have to worry about digging a space wide and long enough to reach the road.
I know this is going to sound stupid but I have had two more followers on my twitter int he last two days, this excites me. My twitter doesn't have a whole lot of people so when I get any kind of new follower I like to celebrate. This is stupid but it makes me happy.
Onto other things.
I have been playing Batman: Arkham City, it is amazing, just as amazing as everyone has been saying. This game got a perfect 10 in Game Informer and it so rightly deserved it's piece of perfection. To be honest I did not think that it was going to be this good, I was a silent nay sayer, then I played it and have almost beat it and am just flabbergasted with how amazing it is. Such a well rounded, fun and exciting game to play, this makes me ^_^

Productivity
So this morning I have been pretty productive to the point that I'm actually kind of proud of myself. I have updated some stuff on this blog and have added my YouTube channel URL and my twitter account to my "description" of me, so check that out and go to each page to see what the fuss is about.
So I recently got my Flip HD and I have to say that it is awesome, I am liking it more and more with every use. It was defiantly worth the $32 bucks that I paid for it, thanks to Best Buy I got one hell of a deal, you know what would be awesome...?
To be sponsored by Best Buy, think of all the awesome stuff you could get and the discounts, AHHHHHH.
So my son has been watching the movie Rio like crazy, I think we watch it at least four times a day, its insane. The funny thing is that i actually really like the movie so i really don't mind him watching it all day, plus its awesome to see his reaction to the scenes in the movie. PRICELESS!!!!!!!
This is all, not much and I haven't written in a couple of days. I promise to get some more variety coming soon, until then have a good one. If you don't want to read my description then you can follow me on Twitter @Aflarida and subscribe to my YouTube channel at youtube.com/theflarida so go and do both.
