Books; The Original Entertainment

We live in a world today with thousands of different kinds of entertainment. There's music, TV, movies, video games of all sorts, computer games, virtual reality, and anything in between. IN this day and age few people ever read books anymore. For all of you youngsters out there, books are like Kindles, except its not electric, and they are made out of paper and ink. I personally always prefer reading off of paper rather than some sort of screen, but slowly things like the Kindle and the Ipad are taking over and making books, which have been the best way to share information and stories for hundreds of years, obsolete. Less and less people are reading than ever before and that's a shame. Reading was the very first form of entertainment besides oral storytelling and I think it is a classic. Personally my favorite book is Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut has always been my favorite author, and he too valued paper books as opposed to electronic books, otherwise known as "E-books". Although E-books do have their advantages, like the Gutenburg Project, which combines all classic books that are no longer under copyright laws and makes them free and easily accessible to anyone with a computer. However I believe that reading off a computer screen or a Kindle will never replace the feeling of holding a book in your hands and being engrossed in the story. Even with all the new and exciting types of entertainment constantly growing, sometimes a classic book will win over even the most high-tech video game.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 for Xbox 360

Battlefield Bad Company 2

This is one of the best teamwork games, I have ever played. The graphics are amazing. The one player campaign has a good story which allows you to play on different difficulty levels. It is a first person shooter but has a huge twist to the game because the game allows people to join individual squads to work together to capture objectives or to destroy the objectives. Also, the game has a ranking system which you start at private and work your way up to the highest rank. When you rank up in Battlefield you unlock different weapons and tools. In addition, to unlocking items when you rank up, you also get points for your class and you unlock weapons and tools as well. The class system is pretty simple, the player can be either a medic, engineer, assault, and recon. The player can choose from any of these classes and rank up to obtain new weapons.
I've been playing the Battlefield games for over 8 years, and I must say that EA the makers of the game continue to surprise and amuse me. This is one of the best games, I've played this year and I believe that in the future it still will be a great game. Battlefield has another twist to the game, it has content which can be destroyed. What I mean is that a player can take a grenade and blow a hole in the wall of the buildings. Which is one of the only games that does this, and it just allows the player to have a more real life view because a grenade on the battlefield would most likely blow a hole in the wall. Also, the buildings can be destroyed if it is hit enough by numerous amounts of explosions, which include tanks, c4, and rocket propelled grenade launchers. The Battlefield Bad Company 2, also allows the player to fly helicopters and operate other vehicles.

In my opinion, this is one of the best multiplayer fps games on the market for consoles. I would recommend downloading the demo, if you have Xbox 360 on the marketplace and trying it out before you buy the game. This game is available for Xbox 360, Ps3, and PC.

The latest internet trend: An objective review

The internet is a place of trends. Remember back in around 400 BCE when LiveJournal was the hippest website on the internet? Then Myspace? Facebook? Twitter? The latest contender at passing internet crazes is one "Formspring". Formspring allows for every teenager and college student to be a potential journalist by asking and answering anonymous questions. And that's pretty much it. However, despite how simplistic it sounds use of the website can be entertaining and addictive. I personally hold a joint account with my trio of roommates and we collaborate on hilarious answers to the questions. We take on the persona of a high brow news agency trying to get the news to our readers. Though the site provides a vast quantity of entertainment, it can naturally be the breeding ground of anonymous "cyber bullying", with individuals with low self esteem leaving crude remarks on other people's accounts. However, the entertainment value is often worth this remarkable risk. In short Formspring can be an interesting internet experience, if you handle your questions with a hilarious personal. Totally.
