480,427 points on Halo ODST Firefight last night. We got well over double the par score. The match lasted 1 hour 57 minutes!

Now we must try the Vidmaster Challenge on that level =D I suggest we find a couple of other players who wont be as much of a drag on our chances.

Custom PC - Ideas

Well, its that time again for me when I must shed my old Technology, and start a new. This time however, I am planning on Building my own PC. I have a few build ideas, but i was wandering if anyone had anything to add or suggestions. I have 2 builds, one would be what I might actually go for, and one that would really like… though a  bit out of my price range.

This first PC is likely the model I will go for. I just need a computer that can handle 3D graphics well, and have enough RAM to render out a decent sized scene. It should be sufficient for me, Though I would like a second opinion!

This second one is something that I would really like to make, though the funds aren’t THAT great. Maybe if there was a way to make my build above resemble this a bit more. This would be ideal for me though.

Now, My budget is about $1,000.00, not a penny more (not including tax). If you come up with another build for me that’s $800, then that would be great. Just tell me what you think! Thanks!

Found Where They Were Keeping IT!


Something Brutal and Legendary dwells within! Sweet LP Deals!

Anyone who recognizes this building knows what I am talking about.  It’s The building which houses the Brutal Legend LP that Jack Black kindly shows us in the Title Screen. I decided to check this place out after beating the game and finding that this place was in Los Angeles, and I must say, Its a pretty sweet music store. Selling mostly LP records for really cheap. They also have CD’s and Tapes, as well as VCR and DVD videos. Definetly worth the trip if you are in the Los Angeles area. Even saw where the Brutal Legend record would be (alcove on the left in the picture bellow).


Taken from the Classical LP section.

I browsed around for a bit looking through what they had, seeing if they had anything Brutal Legend related and they didn’t. Oh well, its still pretty cool. I got a Santana CD while I was there and went on my way. But not before Snapping a one last shot before going.


Proof that I was there. No photoshop here.

For anyone interested in visiting Record Surplus, Here is the address and website!

Minus-World Update [The Batmans]

I made an update on my Minus-World.net website. I reviewed the NES Batman titles!

Well, this is my first NES game review in quite some time. This week, I am reviewing the 3 Batman games that came out for the NES. They are Batman (Sunsoft), Batman: Return of the Joker (Sunsoft), and Batman Returns (Konami).


- Batman -
- Batman: Return of the Joker -
- Batman Returns -

Also, I did something new with these reviews. I added streamed video of the game-play so you can see what the game is like. I will start doing this to all the games that I review. I have also added video to Castlevania.
