Being that I love both super heroes and video games, I guess you can say I am “connected” with what is happening in the worlds of both. Recently I have found out that jail for the worlds most criminally insane, Arkham Asylum, has just broken loose and Gotham City is in all sorts of trouble. If there has ever been a way to clean up this problem, it is Lego Batman Video Game. With hilarious graphics, storyline, and characters (in typical lego game fashion), you can choose to be Batman, Robin, or up to 12 of the worst villains in super hero history in order to save Gotham. Offered in all platforms including Xbox 360 and soon PS3, Lego Batman will have you mastering new powers, moves, outfits, and vehicles such as the Batmobile, Batwing, and Batboat! For extreme game play, you are even able to customize your characters, build/transform the game environment, and find various collectibles for rewards. The Lego Batman video game can be played solo but has the ability for co-op play so that your sidekick can drop in and out at any time. The Lego Batman game is a great stress reliever and has all the facets of some good old fashion Lego fun.

If you are a guy or gal who spends the majority of their time in a comfortable chair with your controller in hand, screaming or jumping about during a video game, then you are in luck. A bit of great Professional Video Gamers News, a recent study has found that gamers (targeted on EverQuest 2) have a self-purported height and weight that is on average 10% leaner than the current national weight conditions. This is a hilarious twist of events considering most consider gamers to be extremely over weight! This study conducted by the South California University also has findings that show women actually spend more time at the controls then men do, even though men outnumber women gamers 4-1.  Who would have ever thought that a video game like EverQuest 2 could yield such important results? If you are a big fan of console or PC games, it is time to bask in the knowledge that perhaps the stereotype of a gamer will soon turn to a lean, mean, video game machine.

For those of you who have not yet gotten your hands on an Apple iPhone, there are so many great functions and downloadable applications that make this cell the hottest on the market. Although at this point there are thousands to choose from, the best news about what is considered to be the Top 10 iPhone Applications is that most of them are for the price of FREE. To top off the list of iphone apps is Ebay Mobile (free). A great piece that allows you to keep an eye on all your bidding and buying needs, the application also uses tabs for easy browsing. Ebay Mobile and SaveBenjis (comparative shopping) will give you everything you are looking for at the right price. Next down the list is Mocha VNC Lite, a nice little iphone application that will allow you to control your desktop via iphone (use only over LAN network). For media purposes look to Pandora Radio and BeatMaker. You will soon be able to personalize radio stations over the iPhone 3G network and create your own master beats! When you are bored, check to SportsTap (up to the minute scores, stats, schedules etc.), Crash bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, iProcrastinate Mobile (and who doesn’t), and Yelp! to find local businesses.

Call me crazy but most of my free time (and not so free time) is spent playing video games. I really could care less that while other people are out shopping or “enjoying the nice weather” I am inside trying to take over planet after planet, in an attempt to dominate the entire universe.

Granted, if you are downloading games at GameStop you will need a high speed Internet service. However if you are a true gamer, chances are solid that you already have that!

As someone who has recently moved and has no phone, cable, or Internet (no T.V either), I have been shopping around for the lowest cable rate possible. I figure why should I jump into a subscription only to find a cheaper one elsewhere? I must admit however, the best rate I have currently found is the Comcast Triple Play Advantage. This package is ideal for anyone who has just moved/wants to change their cable provider, as the “Triple Play” is one low monthly payment for great services. You will be receiving Comcast high speed Internet, Digital Cable, and Digital Voice with cash back rewards up to $325! The Comcast Triple Play also includes all the hardware (cable modem, wireless router etc) for absolutely no cost, this way you are up and running at no additional fees. Comcast offers a Starter, Preferred Plus, and Premier Subscriptions, each offering additional services and abilities at one low cost. From plans as low as $99.99 a month, The Triple Play Advantage can be installed at your current or future home (just check the Comcast schedule of installers)!

For those of you who weren’t around this past Monday night, the 2-hour season premier of Heroes was finally on! Let me first start of by saying this season of Heroes looks absolutely sick. It seems like good guys are turning bad, the bad guys may be turning good, and the already evil have just gone completely villain. All these things plus of course Nikki Sanders (Ali Larter) is back, and is back with crazy strong powers ☺. Now I may be partial to this Heroes actress because she can instantaneously freeze people to death, or maybe its because she is great looking, or because Ali Larter grew up in my home town. Regardless she is very cool and looks to be paying a very important role in Heroes Season 3. If you are just jumping on the Heroes bandwagon and want to see what happened in her back-story (as well as all the other super heroes), pick yourself up Heroes Season 1 and II on DVD. Amazon is offering these DVD sets in regular, HD, and Blue Ray versions, and each is at a great discounted price.

Robert Downey Jr. was a class act in his recent portrayal as Iron Man. Lets be honest, Super Hero movies come and go but only a few are able to withstand the test of time and audience approval. For a prime example, look at what happnened to Joel Shumachers Batman for goodness sake! Regardless, since the Ironman movie came out I have been waiting to get my hands on the DVD. Of course however, it had to run a few extra months in the theater (surprise surprise) to get every remaining ticket sale. The good news, is that now I am finally able to pre order the Iron Man Collectors Edition DVD. This special edition has the version of the movie you have come to know and love (regular and wide screen), plus a full disc loaded with special bonus features. Amazon.com is currently offering a pre-order sale of Iron man for 43% off the retail price! This is a great opportunity for all of you ladies and gents out there who appreciate a hot rod red and yellow super hero.

O.K so we have currently have a new version of the Apple iPhone 3G, slimmer and touch screen style iPods, and new and improved Zune’s on the market. With all these mp3 players out and about, I hope you are using a pair of Sony Ear Bud Headphones to get the type of sound quality you are looking for. Unlike many other ear buds, this pair of Sony’s uses a highly lightweight design and included silicone cushions for constant comfort even under the longest play list sessions. In order to keep all ears happy (because clearly not all are created the same size), every package also comes with 1 pair of small, medium, and large silicone ear inserts, and a carry case for loss free portability. Comfort is good, but sound quality is king when it comes to the Sony Ear buds. These headphones use an enhanced frequency response and a 13.5mm driver for unsurpassed bass, and overall crisp audio quality within the price bracket. This pair of mp3 headphones are currently being sold at a discount through Bestbuy.com, so be sure to pick them up today for a clear way of listening to your tunes.

As technology is advancing at such a rapid rate, it has become increasingly more difficult to understand what you are buying, how long it will last (before it is obsolete), and what specific terms you should be looking for. If you are in the market for a new computer (as many back to school students are) but are unsure of what or how to buy, look to the Amazon Laptop Computers buyers guide for help.  Highly informative, Amazon wants you to be aware of what’s “Under the Hood” of a computer before you buy one and so they offer very simple buying tips regarding terms and pieces of hardware that are highly important to a fast, simple to use machine. Do you know why a RAM or processing speed is important, or how good of a graphics card you will need for your specific purposes? These tech specs are constantly being thrown at you but if you do not understand the importance or function, there is a good chance you will not be buying what you want or need. The Amazon tech center has this easy to read guide concerning laptop computers, and it will help you on your way to a highly functional, highly affordable notebook pc through Amazon.com.

The prices of high quality digital cameras have gone down considerably over the last year. The Samsung L200 Digital Camera for example, takes 10.2-megapixel pictures for extreme clarity (enough for any print/banner needs) and a mile long list of exceptional features, all at a very affordable price. This particular model includes a 3x optical zoom (that zooms in without reducing image quality), optimized focus face detection, and various scene modes that will automatically adjust shutter speed and flash for the perfect shot. Personally I like the Samsung L200 because it also includes an increased image stabilizer for people who have a hard time taking a straight shot, and pre installed 10MB of internal memory with memory slot for the addition of more. The Samsung L200 camera has a 2.5” display (with easy navigation wheel) making it extremely simple to focus, shoot off, and slide through your picture files. With a lightweight sleek design, this digital camera is currently being sold for only $129.99 while supplies last.

I am a gamer through and through, and yet I still sometimes have a hard time wrapping my brain around how video games have become so authentic looking and engaging. Especially in terms of action/war games like the new Call of Duty World at War, how insane will intense fighting scenes of WWII be when you are playing the Nintendo Wii? The new Call of Duty for the Wii allows you to choose to be either a U.S Marine or a Russian soldier towards the end of war, and plunges you from places like war devastated Berlin, to the dense jungles of the Pacific. With unprecedented graphics and character awareness, you will need to use various weapons such as flamethrowers, grenades, vehicle based weapons, and of course your rifle, in order to rid the world of the last remaining enemy infantry. Call of Duty: World At War can be played in single mission version or in 2-player co-op mode and is available in all major gaming consoles. If you pre-order your copy of Call of Duty through Best Buy, you will be able to receive a special bonus package and a coupon for $5 dollars off any previously released Call of Duty video game.

Unfortunately for car enthusiasts, many of the vehicles today are created with a bit of lack luster. It seems like many of the cars on the streets look the same, are built the same, have the same lines, and perform pretty much all the same too. This is absolutely boring to a guy like me. If you are into real muscle and enjoy tinkering with cars to make them hot, you need to get a Popular Hot Rodding Discount Subscription. This magazine is fully loaded with tips on performance, design, safety, replacement parts, drag racing, and every which way to turn your car into a timeless hot rodding vehicle. Popular Hot Rodding includes interviews from the top designers, carmakers, and specialists in the country, and each have excellent insights on the best new methods, products, and styles for your car. This magazine is perfect for any amateur or professional car re-modeler, and the 12 issue yearly subscription is currently being offered at 80% off the regular cover price.

The new and improved iPod Nano Next Generation Accelerometer have finally made it to market. These ultra slick, ultra thin nano ipo’ds currently come in 8 bold colors, and available in 8 GB and 16 GB models. They use unsurpassed technology, as the next generation nano’s are able to hold up to 4000 songs (with up to 24 hours of audio playback), or 16 hours of video with a 4-hour playback. Not to mention the crystal clear 2” display (320×240 resolution) will easily show off only about 14,000 of your favorite photos to friends and family! The new iPod Nano also uses “the Genius feature” which allows for an automatic grouping of similar songs to make a great play list, and even has a built in accelerometer. O.K so what’s the deal with an accelerometer? Basically now the nano is able to sense motion, so give it a little shake to shuffle to a next song! You are also able to turn the iPod nano on its side in order to easily flip through all of your album art in cover flow, as well as tip, turn, and rotate it to play accelerometer inspired games.

How many times have I heard that Spore “is predicted to come out next month”, only to wait in vain, and then wait some more, and then some more? I swear this video game has been pushed back for what seems like well over a year but the good news is that the Spore Video Game Release has happened! Designed by the same makers of The Sims, Spore is a game intended to allow the user to journey through evolutionary process over the far reaches of space. With millions of planets full of users creations, you will be able to interact, battle, and take over various galactic civilizations! As the user, you can chose to play within the 5 evolutionary phases of Spore, (cell, creature, tribe, civilization, and space) and the object is to see how advanced you are able to make your creation. Sorry to all you console gamers out there, but Spore is currently for Microsoft and Mac users only! Just be sure to have the appropriate system requirements and Internet hookup in order to enjoy full game play.

In a navigational sense, I guess you could say that my sense of direction would not allow me to find the way out of a paper bag. I should be somewhat frustrated with this circumstance, however I keep telling myself that I come by my lack of directional skills honestly (achem MOM). In order for me to get to point A to B, I have to use the Magellan Maestro 3200 GPS System. Extremely affordable (with a current discount at Best Buy), the Magellan uses a 3.5” wide screen display that is touch screen and easily viewable. Using a highly intuitive interface, even people who are not the most technologically advanced are able to touch their way to maps spanning across the U.S, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii. Using the “TrueView” option, the Magellan Maestro will even supply a pop up visual of an upcoming turn or a 3-D birds eye map view of your location. The backlight will even dim or grow in strength as day light increases/decreases in order to ensure a highly visible map. With many other cool GPS abilities, the Magellan Maestro includes mounting hardware, power adapter, and CD-ROM in order to get you moving in the right direction.

Between work, school, studying, errands, relationships, etc., how often do you actually get to sit at home and watch your favorite show? If you are like me, the occasions to recline and watch the tube have been coming fewer and farther between. The good news however, is that Amazon Videos on Demand are available to enjoy at any time. My particular favorite is the ability to watch HEROES (30 Rock s also available) anytime, anyplace, anywhere - as long as you have an updated Flash Player. Amazon is currently offering 1 of these t.v shows/videos on demand for absolutely free, as well as the option to sign up for the Amazon T.V Pass which includes a seasons worth of programming to choose from. This is perfect timing considering the new season of Heroes is just around the corner. Anyone who is looking to catch up on what had happened during season I or II might want to look to the Amazon videos on demand, this way you wont have to either buy the set in a store or have to take up hard drive space on a download.

The Fall Season is here, and that means football, fans, and a lot of slow cooked foods. Seriously, what’s a Sunday game without a bowl of 4 alarm chili or perhaps some pulled pork and chicken (my favorite)? In order to get that food just right, I recommend using an original Crock Pot Portable Slow Cooker. At 6 qt. capacity, just load it up with your favorite recipe and let the locking lid and timer do the rest. This is truly perfect crock pot for game day, because this particular model has a removable stoneware insert, a hinged serving lid, and a super convenient “warm” setting to keep food at the perfect temperature. Knowing full well that this slow cooker will be filled with the cheesiest, beaniest, and sauciest recipes, the Crock Pot Cooker uses a dishwasher safe stoneware and lid for easy clean up. To make this set even better, the portable slow crock pot cooker also includes a recipe booklet (for some interesting and spicy foods), and a bonus Little Dipper warmer pot for left overs or side dishes.

College kids like to eat and snack, and eat and drink, and snack and drink, and also eat too.
