   Well, here we are and my son is about to start his 3rd grade in a month. My daughter 1st grade and my last son is somewhere around 1 year 20 months. 

  Since the economy took a dump and I have been out of job since October, it has been my responsability to get my children to school.   Before that, my wife always took them and many of the kids there new baby jack.  and one in particular was just facinated with him.  He loved jack so much. Always saying hi and asking if he can hold him and what not.  What a great kid!  Full of love and life..  today though I found out something interesting.

 About 2 years ago, Raymond (the loveable kid) and his sister were crossing a very busy intersection in Colorado.   My wife saw these two kids (his sister was with him and she was four and he was six) by them selves in the middle of the intersection. She immediatly pulled over and got the kids off the street and started to ask them questions.   Their clothes were a bit tattered and they wernt wearring any shoes.  She asked them if they knew where they lived and he said yes, but he had to go to the store.  My wife wouldnt let them, called the police and waited and tried playing games with them until they arrived.

  Turns out that the mom was asleep, spoke very little english and didnt realize they had left.  The police called my wife and said they got home okay. 

now fast forward 2 years later.  and I meet Raymond and he was registered at my sons school and as I said, completly a nice soul when it came to people and Baby jack.   During 2nd grade, He had a siezure.. This shut his body down and he now longer had brain waves showing and what not.  Last week the hospital tried to kick them out as the parants could not afford the bills for a while now.   Very shortly, the hospital wants to "unplug him" and that will be his end.   at 8 years old.  His sister, he always watched over her and she loves my daughter too.  She carries his same spirit and I pray that this happening will not affect her in a negative way. 

Perhaps Raymond touched enough peoples lives, that his time is done.  He will be missed.  and always remembered no matter what happens.

Here are some vids to check out the end of the competition. 

I admit, Street fighter is my all time fav, and to be honest.. My Guile, can take that out most of the time. but it is interesting to see that the top tier players in tourneys do such a standard dance game.

wish I had the chance to take them.. it would def. be fuN!

  You know what, I have spent so much time and care into my pokemon that I have about 10 teams that need to stretch their legs.  I have a pretty solid history of training and I never use the AR stuff to cheat.. so if you want a challenge, figure out where the name BwrJim! comes from!

time and date to be determined....

Nintendo Gaming / Help! Problems with my wiimotes and nunchuks...
« on: June 29, 2009, 12:14:58 PM »
   As the title employs, many of wiimotes and nunchuks will disconnect from each other in the middle of playing.   I am sure this is a connection issue (maybe through wear) and I have done a lot of troubleshooting.

Has anyone heard of a good fix for this, something rigged by a user as Nintendo doesnt recognize the problem.

Thanks,
James

Nintendo Gaming / Ghostbuster Wii Edition
« on: June 16, 2009, 11:43:26 AM »
  I've had my hands on the game now for a few days..  and I would like to give everyone my opinion on what I have witnessed so far.

  This is by far the best movie game I have played to date.   Keep in mind I am not referring to a game based on a movie, no.. not that, instead I am talking about how the game was made.  From the ground up you are drenched in the Ghostbusters lore and mechanics.  With the original writers scripting this game, the presentation comes across full and bountiful.   This really does have a great flow of a movie feel in the game.  The story unfolds as the characters traits and witticisms bring the entire experience to life.   Using Hollywood proven methods, Ghostbusters comes out feeling original, captivating a fun experience.

  One of the biggest things I noticed was the cinematic camera that is present throughout all the cut scenes and throughout the game.  This lends to a very well told story and feel.   I enjoy the characteristic look of the characters and it helps identify into this world.  The design I believe was a good choice and overall it works very well.   Of course, the one thing that caught me off guard was the camera system until I left the GB HQ.

  While in the ghost house for the first time, the controls are a bit cramped and its a little disorienting at first, but once you strut your packs in the hotel environment  (the first mission) you really will come into control.  See, the camera is mapped to the on screen reticule and so strafing is mapped to the nun-chuk.  For ghostbusting, this ends up being the preferred method as when you need to catch a ghost, you have the controls needed to navigate the fight.

   The fights, now that's something that is really fun with the wii-mote (unless you have nunchuk connection issues like I have, but that's another Nintendo story) and nunchuk.   When battling a ghost, first you just have to really sweep them until they are weak enough. Once weakened though, the beam will automatically change into a capture beam, in this state you wrangle the ghost by slamming them about the environment (think force unleashed boss battles) and then tossing out a trap via the nunchuk and z button.  After a good run through the hotel, I was becoming an expert at this, wrangle, slam, dazed state sliding capture all in nice motions (oh and the quotes from the GB team to you seem to change with your performance, a little extra kudos.)

  While I haven't fought a "boss" character yet, I am working through the level fending off marshmallow anger puppies and big hands, but once again, the story is drenched throughout the game, so while running around blasting and wrangling, those classic moments of character interaction both with NPc's and team mates makes the experience meld rather well.   

  Speaking of your team, you also have the option to bring a friend with you (I have played to the same point with both single and multiplayer) to take on all the badness.   Multiplayer may in fact have different ghost and patterns set up as going in multiplayer first (harder experience) to single player second, and the events were definitely different.  With multiplayer, the wrangling can be split into who ever has the beams on the ghost, so stay alert!  or branch off in a differnt direction (equally fun) and blast other ghost by yourself.


All in all, here it is on the line for you.

Ghostbusters visual quality is great.
                   Sound is dead on, with all the foley and voice tracks.
                   Control, shaky at first, but comes into its own as play progresses.
                   $40.00 dollars at gamestop, right on!

 If your a ghostbusters fan, check it out, its definitely worth it.  If you are looking for a good adventure and good story with multiplayer, once again check it out.   It's not to often when the Wii gets solid 3rd party games, and this one delivers.

The only irk I have on this game, is the beginning of Peters voice acting, at first it sounds like a 3rd rate i dont care I will read my lines, but after seeing the story unfold, the character needs to be "woken up" by interation with the ladies and story.  as it grows so does he.  So if its a choice, good job, if its I dont care yet until later.. well it fades away at least in the hotel.

Thanks for reading!  Hope this helps.
