New EntreCard ad

I was doing my daily EntreCard drops and ran across one of my own and decided it was time to make a custom ad. I've been using the generic orange and black with text ad that EntreCard has available if you don't have a 125 x 125 advertisement. Decision time should I make the advertisement PSP related or PS3 related. Any thoughts?

PS3 purchase Day 2

The second day having a PS3 was spent, in part, setting up the wireless connectivity. I didn't realize that I had my router locked down as well as I did. I spent quite a bit of time running up and down the stairs checking settings on both the PS3 and my router. I finally opened up the MAC filtering and it worked. I then closed the MAC filtering and it still worked. Must be something with the PS3 because I have never had to open and then close the filtering when adding laptops to the router's configuration.

It is Day 2 so there must be a second game. Courtesy of Wal-mart's gift card. The Son's choice was Paradise Burnout. Why another racing game? I don't know. I do know that Day 3 will not bring a third game because the gift card is all used up. I would like to get a second controller so more than one person can play at a time.

My brother was over and setup my main computer as a media server so we can stream music, pictures and video to the PS3. I don't know how he did it, I wasn't watching. But the album view for the pictures is pretty cool. The pictures scroll across the screen and you can use the controller to zoom in and out as well as move back and forth to see pictures you may have missed.

PS3 purchase Day 1

Well my son did it again. As you may recall in my first post on this blog he had purchased a PSP in December. This time he saved up and purchased a PS3 [the 40GB version] from Wally World [they had a $100.00 gift card which came with the purchase]. I wasted no time and attached it to our 42 inch plasma that is in the rec room in the basement. That first night was a MotorStorm race fest. Obviously MotorStorm was the first game purchased with the gift card.

After the MotorStorm racing came to a close [I did not do to well] we watched the Blue Ray trailer disc that came with the PS3. WOW!!! It really showed the visual capabilities of both the PS3's Blue Ray player and our Samsung TV. The word of the night was luscious. Quite a few of the game trailers had deep, rich graphics that we referred to as luscious.

Speaking of visuals, the MotorStorm game has some awesome graphics that really utilize the PS3 capabilities.

I decided to call it a night at 12:15 am. Day 2 will bring a new game and wireless configuration.

I was able to get entered into the give away without downloading the game demo. I was lucky enough to guess my way through the 10 questions on my second try. I'm planning on downloading the demo in the next couple of days if I can borrow my son's PSP.

LocoRoco Demo

LocoRoco has a downloadable demo. The LocoRoco inhabit a peaceful world until the evil Moja Corps arrive and attempt to remove the LocoRoco from their home.

Game play: The player attempts to move the LocoRoco through the lands that they inhabit. Of course there are puzzling impediments that you must navigate them through, over or under. The LocoRoco have strange morphing, combining and dividing abilities that you will find helpful defeating obstacles. It kinda reminds me of the classic PC game Lemmings.

Demo info: The demo allows you to navigate the LocoRoco through one level.

Good for the kids. Rated E for Everyone
