Summer 2013 Day Zero : Starting Off

Well as my summer begins I begin working on summer content... even as Microsoft works on its own summer project, which seems to consist of digging their own grave. Seriously could a new console reveal be greeted with anymore revile and hatred than that which greeted the reveal of the badly named third generation XBox One? I kinda doubt it... maybe this would be a good time to completely bail out of reviewing Microsoft once and for all.

So handhelds are the focus of reviews this summer. Covering the 3DS from Nintendo, as well as tablet gaming, we have a bit to cover during the summer... sadly the whole thing about whether I am doing work in the Fall is still up in the air so I am going to be browsing job search sites and look for reviewing work during the summer. Hopefully once I am all set working wise I can refresh my PSP tech down the road. Updates coming soon.

Well more to come as the summer begins so watch the blogs as summer kicks off.

Getting back on track

Well lots to do if I am going to get back on track, sorry things were so slow for so long.

Let's see...

First off what to cover? (the topic of upgrades won't come up until I know if I am returning for another year at my present job, stay tuned)
Console - Wii
Handheld - 3DS, GB/GBC/GBA, PAP
Tablet (NEW)

Podcasting wise I am presently halted while I trade for a used laptop to help get that back on track again full speed ahead. Hope to get that resolved soon. Casts coming soon for this blog? 3DS Addict, Antisocial Gamer and Pocket Gamer. Working on upgrading to the PSVita, stay tuned.

So next step? See about posting daily here so stay tuned for content.

This Playstation Life in development

The problem with presently upgrading to the PSVita? The cost, and the lacking budget to meet said cost, what with the usual suspects limiting that and all... but in This Playstation Life I'll tell you why, even if you are going PSVita, you should hold onto and continue to use your first gen (PSP-1000 to PSP-3000) PSP.

- UMDs. They got axed as of the PSP Go.

- The ability to convert and watch videos and movies from the internet using PSPVC.

- Might still be able to play homebrewed games (a dirty word of late in the big three)

Lately Sony has been following the trend, and turning their backs on stuff that benefitted the user... the first gen PSP is the last holdout before the purge began. So, if you can, hold onto it... if you must, buy it again used from amazon and the like.

First episode splits the chores of gaming and multimedia between the two, PSP and PSP Go, and compares the two and which one is best suited for what.

I just need a PSP Go and then I'll start scripting... coming soon, stay tuned.
