I was looking around eBay yesterday trying to hunt down a blue Spartan and I just happened to run into this ultra cool Halo 3 figure/display mod up for sale. Jin Saotome (The maker of the mod) seems to be pretty sharp when it comes to making some kick ass upgrades/mods for action figures!

Tonight is Wrestlemania so here are my predictions for the card!
Raw/SmackDown/ECW 24-Man Battle Royal
- Winner gets a ECW Championship shot the night against Chavo Guerrero.
Confirmed Participants:
Raw: Snitsky, Brian Kendrick, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Hardcore Holly, Cody Rhodes, Val Venis, Hacksaw Jim Duggan
SmackDown: Mark Henry, Chuck Palumbo, The Great Khali, Deuce, Domino, Jesse, Festus, Kane, Jamie Noble, Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore,
ECW: Elijah Burke, Matt Striker, The Miz, Tommy Dreamer, Kofi Kingston
Prediction: The talent on this Battle Royal isn’t exactly high profile minus a few exceptions. WWE is going to want someone who is experience working a Wrestlemania match for this to go over well on PPV. My first pick would be have to be Kane to win the battle royal and win his first big title in years. Anyone after that would be either Tommy Dreamer or The Great Khali. Chavo could very well retain tonight though too.
Triple-Threat WWE Championship Match
- Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena vs. Triple H
Prediction: Its to hard to call on this one, I for one would like to see the winner of the Money in the Bank Ladder match to steal the title of any of these three for a huge ending to Wrestlemania, but that’s wishful thinking. If I had to choose I would hope Triple H would win, but I got a sinking feeling Cena is going to take the title again….*sob*
WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
- Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker
Prediction: Taker is getting old, but WWE is really trying to push Edge hard, either Undertaker is winning the belt again or this match will end in DQ.
ECW Championship Match
- Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Raw/SmackDown/ECW Battle Royal Winner
Prediction: See above.
Money In The Bank Ladder Match
- Ken Kennedy vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Carlito vs. MVP vs. CM Punk vs. John Morrison
Prediction: I’m going for Ken Kennedy or Jericho on this one.
Career Threatening Match
- Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
Prediction: WWE is making it pretty obvious that this is Flair’s last match, but maybe Flair will pull off a win a lose tomorrow on Raw.
Raw vs. SmackDown Match
- Umaga vs. Batista
Prediction: I don’t care….just make it a quick match.
BunnyMania Lumberjack Match
- Ashley & Maria vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina
Prediction:No Mickie?! Bathroom break match.
Belfast Brawl
- Finlay vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
Prediction: JBL will get the win here. No one will care.
Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather
Rumor has it something big is going to happen for the ending of this match, we’ll have to see.
People know me as a huge Xbox fan and there is no denying it, I love Xbox! As much as I love Xbox though, I love gaming that much more. I don’t care what platform its on, as long as the system has the games to back it up and its getting plenty of use then I have no problem picking it up. Case in point with my newly acquired PSP that I got from a co-worker who wanted to trade it for a normal Xbox. Its got plenty of variety with the Internet, games and other things that it didn’t have when it launched a few years ago and the way my days are scheduled I have plenty of time to use it least once everyday.
So when I hit the jackpot at the Casino this week I thought about picking up a PS3 as Metal Gear Solid 4 is just around the corner. So when I got home, I hit my friendly Gamestop site to see what was out for the PS3 currently and what games I could pick up while waiting for MGS3, the result was somewhat sad. First off, I hate playing FPS games with a Playstation controller so I wasn’t very interested in Resistance and most other FPS games for the PS3. As I kept going through the list, every other game I was interested in was either already out for the Xbox 360 and most of the coming soon games were also coming to Xbox 360. I’m not a Grand Turismo fan and again I’m not interested in Kill Zone 2 or Resistance 2, so the big killer app titles mean nothing to me.
My final turn offs that prevented me to buy it: No backwards compatibility for the 40 gig models and no Component or HDMI cables right out of the box with the bundle. Had I still had my PS2 this would be no issue, but I wouldn’t mind picking up a few PS2 classics to play on the PS3 and sadly the option isn’t there. For the 399 price, they really should include the backwards compatibility. I thought long and hard about my Metal Gear Solid fix, but decided I may be able to rent a PS3 instead and pick up MG4 during the rental period.
Does this mean I’m never going to buy a PS3? Not at all, its just that right now there is no real reason for me to pick one due to the lack of exclusive games that would interest me. Otherwise my X360 will do just as well if not better in the mean time. Maybe this Xmas I’ll finally pick one up, for now I’ll just enjoy my shiny new PSP and my Xbox 360.
Yup! I should have known this was coming Halo Uprising issue 3 has been pushed back yet again. What I find extremely funny is that the official web site for the comic even says that its out this week and in the very same article has the brand new date for it. Uhh….alright then.
PRICE: 3.99
IN STORES: April 23, 2008
This will not affect the Xbox Collector Video Review this weekend, we will just focus on what is actually out.
One of my fellow blog mates has just posted some news on series 3 of the Halo 3 toys! Check out his article to see a new Brute Chieftain, Human Flood and a Jackal Major. There’s also some new Spartan figures too..

I’m already getting a pretty decent amount of feedback from the promo cd’s I sent out of Ergo. A lot of people are saying the first track really freak them out, which was what I was going for. Everyone seems to have their favorite track and while I may hear that one person doesn’t like a certain track, there’s others who tell me they love it. Great! Its good to hear that the feedback is pretty positive so far.
I’ve been asked what I’m working on now that I’m finished with Ergo and right now I’m working on promoting the album and I’m also in the process of working on a new score.
April 7th is coming!
"Kira" one of the many songs featured on the brand new Unleaded Logic album Ergo, will be featured on the upcoming 1st vinyl release on eLEKTRONIK SiENCE. The vinyl will showcase the vast roster of talent featured on the label.
