Overstock.com has a great contest. They are currently running the “All I want for Christmas Giveaway”. Between December 3rd and the 7th you can win gifts for yourself and five of your friends from the fine folks at Overstock.com.
Since my accident Christmas isn’t going to be full of presents this year. That’s for sure. This contest lets you pick the one item you would really love to have from their website each day for five days. Each day you get a chance to win the gift you chose for that day. But that’s not all. At the end of those five days you get a final chance to win all five gifts! It gets better too. If you win and have sent invitations to the contest to five friends they win too. Winning this contest would make my Xmas a lot more cheery. I net it would yours too.
I would love an LG LCD TV. We go to a local sports bar to watch the games on Sundays and they have these all over the place and they are just great. That would be my first choice if I could have anything from the whole store. My next choices would be accessories to go with it like the Toshiba HD-A20 high definition DVD player, the Canon HV20 HDV Camcorder, Sony VAIO N395E/B Notebook, Xbox 360 Premium Bundle with an extra Headset and finally something to watch on it — The X-Files Ultimate DVD Collection.
Talk about a Christmas wish list. There is nothing on there that I could afford but I certainly would enjoy winning them. I will be sending five really good friends a chance to win too, because if I win they win too. Sweet deal.
Ever since I saw the William Shatner film Spplat Attack! I have wanted to try paintball. The film pits William Shatner’s Federation against a Klingon Team. Giving the paintball warfare strategies a geek flare. It was a big event and has even brought the world of paintball to a new shall audience, like me.
There is a lot involved in getting reading to play this emerging sport. You need paintball guns , helmets with face guards, body armor, gloves and don’t for get the ammo. There’s a site called Ultimate Paintball they can hook you up. They have bundles which have “everything you need to get you into the game”. These bundles include spyder paintball guns, CO2 tanks, ammo hopper, deluxe harness, paintball tubes, battery and charger, heavy duty coiled remote, GXG Stealth Mask with Visor & Anti Fog Lens, plus a bunch of other stuff too. All under three hundred dollars. The set I was eyeing up was the Black Spyder MR2 Paintball Gun SNIPER Set, you’ll want to check it out for yourself. The set I was eyeing up was the Black Spyder MR2 Paintball Gun SNIPER Set, you’ll want to check it out for yourself. All you have to do is add a cool uniform and some friends to shoot.
So thanks to William Shatner the sport of paintball is not just for jocks any more. Even a geek can get into the game.

The new Microsoft game Mass Effect has been banned in Singapore due to graphic content.
What is that graphic content you might ask? Well, two women kissing. The game has a scene in which a human woman is kissing and caressing an alien woman. Singapore’s Media Development Authority reportedly banned it.
Singapore has a ban on sex between men, which was recently upheld by their parliament and their Prime Minister said the city-state should keeps its values and not allow rights to homosexuals. [Pigs!]
So far Singapore is the only closed-minded country to ban the game.
Guess I am going to have to get someone to buy me an XBOX 360 and a copy of this game. Has anyone posted a video of this scene on YouTube yet.
I recently read on ThinkGeek.com about the Bawls Guarna drinks and thought I would like to try it. But I did not want to pay the high cost of shipping something I never even tasted via the post office.
Then I ran into the drink at my local convenience store and picked one up. High caffeine made me think perhaps I should try this in the morning so I let it sit until the next day.
My first impressions of the drink were, “not bad” and I stand by those first impressions. I do not think I would drink this on a regular basis, but will pick it up from time to time for the added boost, but not the taste. The taste was a little odd. The only way I can describe it is a liquid donut. It took me a while to figure it out but it tasted just like a glazed donut. In fact I had to run out and grab a Krispy Kreme Doughnut just to double check.
It sure had the promised kick and I can certainly see where I would have been up all night had I drank it the night before. [Finally I do something right.]
Here is what bawls.com has to say about their drink…
Made from guarana, a highly caffeinated berry native to the Amazonian rainforest, BAWLS Guarana is the carbonated beverage of tomorrow with an extra kick.
Since its inception, BAWLS Guarana’s popularity has been growing across the country and the rest of the world, finding a huge fan base from people from all walks of life who enjoy the clean, crisp taste of guarana along with a powerful rush of caffeine.
Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Natural Guarana Flavor, Sodium Benzoate (as a preservative), Caffeine, Artificial Flavors and Caramel Color. Warning: These products contains high levels of Caffeine.

I came across this great list tonight and just wanted to share it with you folks. These are so funny. Makes me wanna go find some of these games at my local Microplay store and sit down for the weekend and jsut play with the gay
I picked up a case of the new Mountain Dew flavor Game Fuel over the weekend before having tried it. Big mistake! I liked all the other flavors to date, except the energy drinks. The Orange, Cherry and even Grape were all good, but this one is just not right. It comes in a Halo 3 can called Gaming Fuel and it looks really cool. Don’t let that fool you.
The only way that I can describe the taste is to tell you that it tastes like a cheap Christmas candle smells. It is overly sweet. Another person I asked to try it told me it was really sweet like cotton candy. Probably a better taste people might like over a sweet weird spicy taste like a candle smell, but still not a good quality in a Dew product.
When I saw the package advertise it as an invigorating blast of citrus cherry flavor I made the wrong assumption that maybe they just mixed Code Red [cherry] and Live Wire [orange] together [both great flavors might be good together]. And now I wasted $6 on a case of this stuff that I cannot even give away!
So I tried looking at the ingredients to see what flavors they put in this thing to make it taste so bad and all they list are natural flavors. What are these natural flavors? I might very well be allergic to them and I should be told what they are so I know in case my throat closes on me [I have a slight odd feeling in my throat like when I am having an allergic reaction so there might be something to that statement]. While checking out those very same ingredients I see they add “glycerol ester of wood rosin”. What the heck is that? And what in the world is it doing in a beverage? What purpose does it serve? Anyone? No wonder I thought this drink tasted like a Christmas tree there’s one in there!
If Family Adventure Has a Name, It Must Be LEGO® Indiana Jones: The Videogame
LucasArts and TT Games Don Their Fedoras for the Next Great LEGO Gaming Experience
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — July 27, 2007 — LucasArts and TT Games today announced that LEGO® Indiana Jones®: The Videogame [working title] will whip onto game consoles everywhere in summer 2008. Developed by the same team at Traveller’s Tales that created the LEGO Star Wars™ series, LEGO Indiana Jones presents a tongue-in-cheek take on the first three cinematic adventures of pop culture’s most iconic archaeologist, including Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
“LucasArts and TT Games are setting the bar for next-generation family entertainment with the LEGO Star Wars franchise, and our incredible relationship continues with LEGO Indiana Jones,” said Jim Ward, president of LucasArts. “In addition to providing the quality bonding time inspired by any good family game, LEGO Indiana Jones delivers something a little different for everyone. Parents will enjoy the humorous take on some of their favorite movies, and their kids get some rousing action/adventure gameplay that may also introduce them to Indy’s original adventures for the first time.”
“It has been a real joy to work with LucasArts on the LEGO Star Wars games. Indiana Jones is the perfect character for the next LEGO-based videogame adventure,” said Tom Stone, director at TT Games. “Indy also presents us with wonderful and memorable cinematic moments. The boulder scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark in LEGO is hilarious!”
Lucasfilm Ltd. recently announced that the LEGO Group will begin releasing LEGO Indiana Jones playsets in January 2008. Meanwhile, LucasArts remains hard at work on its revolutionary, internally developed Indiana Jones videogame, which takes place a year after The Last Crusade in an original story overseen by George Lucas.
