    G0ING ALL CAPS, or am I?

    IM GONNA WRITE THIS BLOG IN ALL CAPS

    Just kidding.

    OR AM I

    I indeed am.

    Well, I just thought why not post an update about stuff and stuff
    Lets start with some awesome games

    Well, Borderlands. I played it, didnt fell in love with it like with GTA and Fallout 3 though so I decided not to get it. Did purchase Episodes from LC, which is definetly awesome. The cool things are batting people off bikes, base jumping and seeing missions from another perspective, like the whole diamond chase and the kidnapping of Roman.

    Ive also been playing lots of old games I just had lying around like Rainbow 6 Vegas, Crackdown and Rockstar Presents Tabletennis. These are games that are still great to pick up again.

    Games that i'm looking forward to,
    Unlike most friends, Modern Warfare 2 is not on my OMGWTFBBQ!!11!! list. I played 1 for a few weeks and I just didn't had that feeling. I didn't suck at at, but it was just not my type of game, Im more the tactical shooter instead of rusher, so games like Rainbow 6 are always high on my list. Not that MW isn't tactical, but teammates usually just rush in.

    Games that are on my awesome-0- list are
    Crackdown 2.
    Why? Because one was just great. There are obstacles everywhere, but you can just jump over them. A small building or skyscraper, you just needed to jump of the top.

    Dead Rising 2.
    Why? Because one was just great. There where lawnmower, lego heads, fake mega blasters, real mega blasters and dishes just waiting to be used on a zombie. And I love Vegas games. Just the lights, the buildings, the chique restaurants and the all day long buffets, Las Vegas is the city you fly over on a vacuum cleaner on your dreams. Or am I the only one? Oh, okay.

    Bioshock 2.
    Why? Because the mix of awesome plasmids which make your hands emit electricity, shoot bees and set water on fire can only get better. This game combines an underwater Utopia and playing as your biggest enemy from the first game with lots of great looking enemy's and innovative gameplay

    So, those three games are on my wishlist and will have a great impact on my grades, in a bad way.

    Unfair MSP prices in different regions.

    After looking up the prices of Microsoft Points in the different regions (Wikipedia page here) I saw another example of the amount of money Microsoft makes by ripping off people outside of the United States. If you look at the page you can see that the second and especially the 5 region is being ripped off big time. Now there are some explanations given for the higher price because of the fact that in the USA the taxes aren't being raised on the purchase of the points itself in the store, but the taxes are beingreductedwhen making a purchase with these points in the online store, so the points aren't expensive, but the purchases in the online store are.

    But after looking up the prices, I found that Microsoft also found a way to come around these taxes. They make the purchases for people in the USA cheaper, so that even when the taxes are raised in the onlinestore, the products are just as expensive as in the other regions. So this again makes the purchases cheaper than in the other regions, because there is the same amount of Microsoft points beingspendon the products, beyond the fact that the Microsoft points are cheaper in the other regions.

    So, a quick summary,

    In region 2 are the taxes for online purchases being raised on the purchase of the Microsoft points in the 'real life'store. And in the USA the taxes are being raised on the purchase in the online store. But Microsoft makes the product in the USA version of the online store cheaper so that the purchase cost the same amount of Microsoft Points as in the other regions online stores, except for the fact that the other regions already paid taxes over the purchase, and are paying the same price for it.

    So we pay for the taxes in our region, and the same price for it that USAusers pay that includes the taxes raised on the online store purchases.

    So without living in the USA we pay for their taxes to, just so Microsoft can make more money because we need to buy Microsoft points more frequently.

    . I shoud have bought a PS3.
