Violent Video Games: Beneficial?
http://silverunderground.com/2013/01/video-games-lead-to-cosplay-not-violence/
According to researchers in Australia, violence in video games are actually seen as more of a healthy stress reliever and social engagement tool. Had a bad day? Need some stress relief? Play zombies and see how many undead beings you can kill. Hijack a vehicle on grand theft auto 5 or hit some people like an opposing QB on Madden 25. Furthermore, gaming also can promote "a sense of community". Ever feel a sense of companionship with others posting about a game you really like. For example, a hardcore COD gamer may feel at home on a gaming blog or on a COD Facebook page. The conclusions made are that violence in moderation on a TV screen is a good thing. But like with anything, "with great power comes great responsibility.

Grand Theft Auto V: Its getting Crazy
Craziness, Chaos, Organized Crime, Bongs, and Sex are all the defining characteristics of the new Grand Theft Auto V. Although controversial, the popularity of this game has made the harmful visualizations and behaviors negligible. Money talks, and the amount of money this new game will bring in is unpredictably high. Rated Most Offensive game of the year the game will likely sell over 125 million copies. Why are games like this part of the modern culture? Escapism is likely the culprit. Everyone wants to do what they can't. For example, do not touch the cookie jar. First thing a person thinks of is how to get into that cookie jar. Human nature tells us to buy this game and do all of the things we know we are not supposed to.
Need a break from reality? Turn to a video game like Grand Theft Auto V.

I look forward to buying and playing this game. It is being released TODAY!!!
Go get your copy
Best price I've seen is http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Xbox-360/dp/B0050SYILE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379428520&sr=8-1&keywords=grand+theft+auto+5

Fantasy Football Guide/Franchise Team Madden 13
My Fantasy Team
Here is a guide to creating your fantasy and/or franchise team. First I will discuss the rules by which one selects their team during a draft and then I will show you what my fantasy team looks like this season.
1. Look at who is available, if Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, or Adrian Peterson is available go after them from the get go. Remember if you do not like them you can always trade 1 great guy to get 2 good guys and balance out your team. Or sometimes there are die hard fans out there that will trade ridiculously to get their favorite players.
2. Invest time in searching for sleepers that will be available in the later rounds; Ed Dickson, Cecil Shorts, Eddie Lacy, Robert Woods, Daryl Richardson, Dwayne Bowe, Desean Jackson, Anquian Boldin, etc...
3. Know your competition, after the draft take advantage of the ones that do not do a lot of research in football. For example trade someone "great" with a torn ACL for a good player and you are one cruel step closer to victory.
4. USE THE PROJECTION MODE, BUT ALSO LOOK AT THE STATS FROM LAST YEAR. The farther apart the totals, the more of a risk the pickup becomes.
QB- Peyton Manning - One of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league next to Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rogers. But why Manning? What Makes him different? Look at the defenses. Broncos have one of the best defenses in the league = more time the offense has the ball
Broncos have a 3 RB running game = the focus is on the passing game
Peyton Manning is my fantasy QB and starting QB for my Franchise Team in Madden 2013
RB- CJ Spiller - Look at his college film if you have any doubt in this speedy back. Last year he split carries with Fred Jackson and received an absurd amount of yardage. This year they are willing to run him every down "until he pukes". If CJ is on your fantasy team, you have a leg up on the competition.
RB - DeMarco Murray - DeMarco Murray is "one of the most violent backs in the league". In other words, this guy will fight for his right to get to the end zone. (This guy will get you fantasy points). But he is a risk. But what starting back isn't a risk. Trent Richardson and Adrian Peterson if available should be picked up. But Murray is a sleeper in the Fantasy Draft and an awesome acquisition for Madden 13 Franchise mode.
WR - Jordy Nelson - Aaron Rogers, Jordy Nelson, they get you fantasy points, nough said. Jordy Nelson may not be the go to end zone guy, but he is consistency in a nutshell. Another sleeper, be ready to pick him up on draft day or start him on a franchise.
WR - Cecil Shorts - Cecil Shorts is the leading wide receiver for the jaguars. This kid is good. Chances are he will be available later in the draft. With Blackmon on suspension for the first 4 games, Shorts is a huge sleeper in the fantasy game and a nice asset for franchise players on Madden 13.
W/R - Reggie Bush - Reggie Bush is an awesome asset to have in that he can catch, run, and is agile. Its a triple fantasy threat. With Calvin Johnson taking the double coverage, Reggie Bush will be the one with the TDs.
TE - Kyle Rudolph or Tony Gonzalez - Want consistency go with Gonzalez - wanna gamble a little go with Rudolph. Why do I say this? Rudolph is an upcoming king of TEs in the NFL. So whats the problem? Ponder this, what good is a TE without a QB. You decide, risk for reward or consistency for security.
K - Blair Walsh has the best foot in the league, no question.
Defense - The Seattle Seahawks Defense will be your savior in any fantasy matchup week in and week out. Don't believe me, try it! ;)

Its Hammertime! Murder in China blames video games..
The basics of this headliner is that one chinese person killed another chinese person with a hammer. When brought into custody the murderer blamed violence in video games. He wanted to feel like he was in a video game such as Grand Theft Auto. People like this cause us not to have nice things....

Computer Running Slow?
Chances are you have a virus!!!! Calm down. This is the equivalent of saying you have a tick on your leg. Its annoying as heck if left untreated you could have serious consequences. If you follow these simple steps I will personally guarantee that the problem will be resolved.
1. Download Microsoft security essentials or some other free antivirus software if there is no antivirus on your computer. DOWNLOAD FROM A SAFE SITE LIKE MICROSOFT.COM
2. Scan for viruses. If nothing is found that does not mean you are free from invasion it simply means that the problem has yet to be resolved.
3. Buy Norton 360 or McAfee Total Protection and do a full virus scan and "clean" your PC.
4. Use the diagnostics tool such as Windows Memory Diagnostic.
5. If all else fails use your computer in safe mode until you can get a technician or Geek Squad to look at the problem. To activate safe mode shut your computer off using the power button when you turn it back on there should be an option for safe mode upon start-up.
*If you have a Mac or Apple computer you do not have a virus, just probably needs an update.

What's The Better Buy?
Well, both excell in certain characteristics, the five P's if you will. Price, Platform, Performance, Popularity and Perks.
Price
So the cheapest console out of the three is the Wii U at $349.99, second is the PS4 at about $400 and the most expensive console is the XBOX ONE at $499.99
Platform
Platform as in the console exclusive games for the console. XBOX has Halo, a first person shooter that also allows you to go behind the wheel. This may not have came out for the new console yet but it is anticipated to be coming. PS4 has many, but one in particular is the new Infamous, a great sand box world game that allows you to be your own Super Hero/Villain. Wii U has the Mario franchise which should be a HIT among the younger crowd. They brought the meaning to the word 'Platformer'.
I personally have a soft spot for games like Infamous, so PS4 is a winner for me.
Performance
Now Playstation tackled a controller redesign and decided to add a touch pad to it. The Wii U ditched the controller and replaced it with a tablet thing. XBOX decided to update it's user interface to add gestures and voice commands. Out of the three only XBOX stayed away from changing there controller too much and focused on updating the console itself with new features. XBOX had the guts to take the extra step.
Popularity
A lot of Playstation fans would say that the Playstation has always been more popular, but recently XBOX has the crown. Do you think XBOX will hold it's title?
Perks
Well XBOX has great perks for its PAYING members and Wii U has a great Nintendo club offering for great Nintendo merchandise. But, PS4 is going to offer new games for FREE as console esclusives. If you buy the PS4 you will have a bunch of games to play too!
So, for me I'm going with the PS4. But, if you want a console for the kids Wii U is the winner. Or if you want a great console for the whole family, XBOX ONE might be your man. I'm eager to see who will come out on top!
