Welcome to the first saturday of my Blog and todays topic is about current events, so here they are.

1. Lawsuit Express - If some of you havnt heard yet here it is, The company WOWCH (a shirt company) is Sueing Pinapple Express for the Franko was wearing (the Cat being aten by a shark). Unfortunatelly WOWCH also has a shirt very simular but the difference is, cat is on differnt side, its a differnt cat aswell. WOWCH is sueing for movie tickets to the movie and popcorn supplied. What do you think the verdict should be?

2. Big Brother is Deleting - it was found recently that the iPhone can delete any application on the phone if it dosnt agree to it, It works through iTunes which can easily Delete the file. Makes you think dosnt it? There will always be someone watching.

3. Case-Closed? - As some of you know Mary-Kate Olsen was a friend of Heath Ledger (aka Joker), She will not be forced to talk to the DA. The Full House star had claimed she knew nothing about Heath's Drug problem. Whats to Say do you think she knew about his problem or did she not, hey you can always take a guess.

4. A Less Funny World - Bernie Mac died this week from complications of pnumonia. His talent will not be forgotten by many as my self. I will always remember the laughs i got from watching his show and they will remain. Bernie Mac died at the Age of 50.

This post is made in Honor of Bernie Mac - Dedicated Comedian, Actor, Husband, and Father RIP

Ok welcome to Blog Bog and todays topic is Games. I will split up the games into 4 category's (4 systems will be chosen and 1 will be the game of the week) ok so lets begin

PC Game of the week

Crysis - This game is filled with awsome graphics and a story for you to hang on unti the end, in my opinion it is practicly tied with the Halo Series

Rating - 9.0

Story - It is an Alien Invasion game set in 2020, A group of scientists are caught on the Pacific islands by a North Korean Invasion force. The game is simular to a far cry map (aka having practicly the same type of terrain)

The best part - It's Multiplayer Mode is set up to love

Wii Game of the Week

�Super Smash Bro.s Brawl - If you havnt yet heard of this game or played it, it is a must. This is probobly the best game for the Wii (and will probobly be the best for a long time). Its Massive amounts of players make it a game to love.

Rating - 8.5

Story - Battle it Out for some reason :D

The best part - If your at a party and you have this game, itd be a sin not to bring it, yes its that good

PS3 Game of the week

Metal Gear Solid 4 : Guns of the Patriots - The game is filled with great quality movies and sucks you into the game play with drama and action. The boss fights are incredible, and its one of those sequels that ends up better then the first. The difficulty is perfect and sound effects rock.

Rating - 9.5

Story - Its practicly Snakes Last Mission thingy, Its best you get the game to figure out the story

The best part - Movie Time

Game of the Week

Braid for XBOX 360

Its probobly one� of the best puzzle games you'll ever touch, its challenging, fun, innovative, and just darn great. Its as great as a regular game that you buy at gamestop or target but its an arcade game availiable for xbox Live Arcade. The game is a must play so if you can you should get it. THe downside is that the game does cost more then other arcade games but still enjoy.

Rating - 9.5

P.S. Get ready for Sustaining Saturday *Current Events* tommorow

Techno-Thursday

Computer Tech

Microsoft : We'll Help other vendors find and fix their bugs - Microsoft announced that its security staff would help other companys such as (yahoo, Apple, ect) find glitches and bugs by testing their software. Earlier this year during May and June Microsoft announced its team up with Apple (Explorer vs. Safari) to find bugs. Microsoft Critized Apple's Safari and warned users not to use it until the bugs were fixed. But its not all bad, Microsoft Issued a "Kill-Bit" Update on Yahoo Inc. that disabled an Active-X bug. Or mabey it is bad? Some of the staff members said *"But I can't say we would use Windows Update."*

Yahoo : Root of Smarts? - In less then one day of yahoo adding shortcuts to view information related to the olympics google and microsoft sprang into action. Google added an event pop up ** While Microsoft set up categorys and an xRank System for video's and pictures

SQL Server 2008� - Microsoft had announced to their customers that SQL 2008 would soon be announced and that a fully functional demo is availiable. With the new update come improvements such as ; policy-based management, auditing, large-scale data warehousing, geospatial data and advanced reporting and analysis services, all said by the company. So unless your trying to run a fully based buisness or dont exactly want to get used to the new system, i wouldnt recomend it, I myself am staying loyal to SQL 2005. And for those of you interested in a 180 day software trial (yes the whole thing but for 180 days) then here is the link http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/trial-software.aspx
