Hello Old Friend; I've Missed You

-sniff sniff- Oh my freaking god, its been ages guys. It's like tears of joy running over, so much and so little has happened all at the same time. Eminem released the Marshall Mathers LP 2 single-handedly saving Rap music, Miley Cyrus is still relevant, Beyonce dropped a new album in secret, Brian from family guy got killed off and brought back, Tessanne Chin won The Voice, Paul Walker the actor died, etc, etc, etc. Its been quite the last 2-3 months without my beloved PC i must say. We lay to rest the beloved and faithful Xenos 3.0 as we move on to bigger and better builds. As with all things in life where there is death there is also life; count yourself lucky to bear witness to the rise of Dark Xenos.

This is my PC; there might be many like it but this one is special because it is mine. This build has been 2 years in the making and I am happy that I could finally make it a reality. Fully complete and operational  comprising of 2 years of Black Friday shopping and saving. Feel free to checkout the un-boxing videos uploaded to our YouTube channel to see the full breakdown of everything from last year and this year.

In other news I am also entering a contest to try and win an Xbox One for my Christmas/B-Day present courtesy of Pizza Hut Jamaica. For those that don't know my actual birthday is on the 18th of December so this would really be a great way for me to round out 2013 with a bang. If I manage to win this it could mean good exposure for my blog not to mention also provide me with an additional console on which I can review games for the blog. So i'm begging and a pleading for your help to win this contest. All I need you to do is visit this link (https://apps.agorapulse.com/go/6397/16876/542965) preferably on a PC and like the Pizza Hut Jamaica page and then vote for my picture. Once you like their page the page should refresh or you can refresh it yourself and my picture should show up and then you can click the vote button. Thanks a lot for your help and support in advance. Here's hoping I win.

In closing I am working hard to get the blog back up and running and jump back into my video game reviews and gameplays with commentary. Since I now have a working computer again I plan on closing out the year as always with the top ten games list we normally do. On top of that I also have the yearly blog redesign to get cracking on as well to ring in the New Year right. I also will start streaming more often on our twitch.tv channel so we can have more interactivity and feedback from the people that grace my various social media outlets. I am aiming to do a weekly stream on Saturday's but also I will stream randomly during the week if I have the time. Primarily this will be maybe when I do my game reviews so you will get to further share in the experience. I think that sums up everything of importance to do with our blog so stay tuned for all that to close out the year and start 2014 with a bang. Did a few test streams so far so feel free to go follow my twitch channel and check out the video archives if you like. As always this is your friendly neighborhood gamer Zalgo_Cometh signing off and as always; keep on gaming...

Time To Do Something For Me

Well small blog update today as this is the first week I have had anytime to myself since my boss is back from vacation. Finally some me time. Just in the nick of time too as its about that time of year when I treat myself for all the hard work and responsible behaviour I have been doing. First treat for myself was after securing my first job at a corporation and I bought myself a PS3 and oh how I love it so. It has served me well and gotten me through some real bad times over the year plus that it has been a part of my family. 

Then last year Black Friday in November I bought myself a PSVITA as another inclusion to the Rion family of gaming. Which as of writing this has brought me many hours upon hours of sheer bliss and convenience having portable gaming at my fingertips. It has come in handy and saved me from many a boring outings and never leaves my side once I venture out into the great unknown called the outdoors away from the safety of my gaming sanctuary. The world can be a pretty fucked up place but having a PSVITA makes it so much better ^_^.

So this year with Black Friday looming and around the corner I figure it's high time I built a new PC. Enter step one of a 10 step project that will culminate on my birthday in December that I have dubbed Project Isis. Granted this project will be long and arduous fraught with many a challenges and stress but  hopefully it will be the push towards happiness I need to make it through the rest of this year. In any case my current machine code named Xenos was birthed into this world in 2007 and since then we have come a long way and fought many battles to keep it up and running from bad parts to acts of God in the form of lightning bolts. Hopefully all goes according to plan and I will be able to make this dream of happiness a reality and be able to keep doing all the things I love doing. Anywhore that's all I gots for you today so all the best to you in your endeavours as well and just do you and enjoy life...

Its Finally Here; Black Friday Is Back Bitches

Ok so maybe that isn't the Black Friday I was supposed to mention. This is the time of year where most of America gears up to celebrate thanksgiving and the wonderful eating of many a turkey. However for many techies and bargain savers out there this is like the second coming of Christ as great deals are guaranteed at this once a year event. So if you didn't know here is some knowledge about to be dropped on you...

Black Friday is the name given to the day following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day, most major retailers open extremely early, often at 4 am, or earlier, and offer promotional sales to kick off the holiday shopping season, similar to Boxing Day sales in many Commonwealth Nations. Black Friday is not an official holiday, but many non-retail employers also observe this day as a holiday along with Thanksgiving, giving their employees the day off, thereby increasing the number of potential shoppers. It has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005, although news reports, which at that time were inaccurate, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time. The day's name originated in Philadelphia, where it originally was used to describe the heavy and disruptive pedestrian and vehicle traffic which would occur on the day after Thanksgiving. Use of the term started before 1961 and began to see broader use outside Philadelphia around 1975. Later an alternative explanation began to be offered: that "Black Friday" indicates the point at which retailers begin to turn a profit, or are "in the black". For many years, it was common for retailers to open at 6:00 am, but in the late 2000s many had crept to 5:00 or even 4:00.

Black Friday offers deals on almost any and everything one could imagine but really and truly most people just care about the electronics cause I mean who wouldn't want a big ass flat screen TV in their house for Christmas. I'm trying to get a PSVITA most importantly this year for Black Friday as a birthday/Christmas present to myself. If you need anything tech related now would really be the time to check that bank account and make the most of the insane deals being offered. Sales start on November 23rd so you better start planning out your plan of attack. I know I will be happily content after I get all my Black Friday purchases made. You can check out all the Black Friday Deals being offered over at http://www.theblackfriday.com/. Gotta love that technology; it brings people together...
