Decided it was time for a mini-vacation and was actually able to accomplish quite a bit in just a 3 day trip! After much thinking between my high school friend Carmelo and I, we came to the conclusion, we both needed an ADVENTURE from our tech jobs (he works at google). Sitting in front of a computer, would be balanced out much better through….a roadtrip through Mexico, surfing, bar hopping, boxing fight cheering (De La Joya vs Pacquiao), and some photography!
Rosarito Beach
What are ‘horseshit’ cigarettes? they had a bunch here…
A little ways from Ensenada, at la bufadora, “the Blow Hole”
Road tripping
Stopping for some taco de carne asada y pescado
muy bueno!
More driving through the sierra mountains…
The rock formations were epic…
Carm ready for the surf
Man and Ocean
Reflecting on the 3 days, a much needed vacation
Too often do we forget to be thankful for all the great things in life. Thankfully we have Thanksgiving to remind us 
Sorry for the infrequent updates, been going thru some life craziness and rough times… probably has something to do with the holidays.
If you haven’t played it already, LEFT4DEAD has got to be the best coop FPS I’ve played in a decade! since Counterstrike. Never have you had to work with 3 other friends so closely, as you do in campaign mode set to expert. Surprisingly, I never get sick of shooting down zombies in the hundreds either!
The new trailers for Star Trek look wicked! Yes, I’ll have to admit, I was a bit of a ‘trekker’ back in the day, and am definitely welcoming the new vision of this franchise to make it much cooler and modern. A bit funny seeing ‘Sylar’ from Heroes as Spock, but he does indeed have the look. If you haven’t already, check out the new website – it is one of the slickest movie sites I have seen in a while: http://www.startrekmovie.com/
I really love how so many franchises are ‘restarting’ it from the beginning, with a much darker/realistic perspective and lots of character development in the ‘badass’ protagonist and how the ‘evil’ antagonists came to be. To name a few, Batman did a great job with Batman Begins…Ironman, actually…all of the Marvel movies have been doing this, 007, etc.
The trailers are best viewed from the site, but here is the youtube one:

With more than 2.8 million copies sold in its first 24 hours, Blizzard Entertainment®‘s second World of Warcraft expansion is now the fastest-selling PC game ever
IRVINE, Calif. – November 20, 2008 - Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft®‘s second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King™, has sold more than 2.8 million copies in its first 24 hours of availability*, making it the fastest-selling PC game of all time. This eclipses the previous record of nearly 2.4 million copies sold in 24 hours, set in January 2007 by Blizzard’s first World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade®. Wrath of the Lich King was simultaneously released in North America, Europe, Chile, Argentina, and Russia on November 13; Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand on November 14; and South Korea and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on November 18.
In celebration of the launch, more than 15,000 stores throughout the world had their doors open at midnight to welcome thousands of expectant players. Several of these locations were attended by Blizzard Entertainment representatives, who met players and signed copies of the game.
“We’re grateful for the incredible support that players around the world have continued to show for World of Warcraft,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Wrath of the Lich King contains some of the best content we’ve created for the game so far, and we look forward to seeing even more players log in to experience it in the days ahead.”
“After a single day of availability, Wrath of the Lich King is already the bestselling PC game of 2008 at GameStop and ranks as one of our top-selling products so far this year,” said Bob McKenzie, GameStop’s senior vice president of merchandising. “In keeping with the tradition established by their previous releases, Blizzard Entertainment has again created a product that not only reflects their high standards of quality but is clearly an instant hit with gamers around the country.”
Prior to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, World of Warcraft’s subscriber population had grown to more than 11 million players, further strengthening its position as the world’s most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game. More information about the new expansion can be found at the official Wrath of the Lich King website: www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath.
GG. In the first 24hrs, those sales figures breaks all box office openings…Batman, Spiderman, Indiana Jones, and other games like GTA4, Gears of War 2, Halo 3…

Wrath of the Lich King – need I say more?
I have seriously told myself I was not playing this game anymore.
“self, I am serious, we are done.”
Arthas then spoke through the installation process and the music of Northrend beckoned my hero to vanquish the evil Lich King. Didn’t help too that all the people I used to once play with called me and was like “WTF.”
Here are the lines in NYC midnight of launch. How could I not play just a lil bit, just a few days
