New toy and some jams

Well I did not waste anytime to replace my old computer and have taken a cheaper and more portable route and got me a laptop. I think I got a good deal and stayed within my budget, even had enough money to buy a couple new albums.

I am the proud new owner of a Samsung Series 3 notebook. Although its seems kind of big to call a notebook, 15.6 inch screen, and it weighs probably 3 lbs. Still its pretty beefy and will do everything I need it to do. I also got the new Queens of the Stoneage album and an older Mastadon album. The new Queens album takes the cake though. Joshua Homme is a cornicopia of musical talents. Aside from his other side projects Eagles of Deathmetal and Them Crooked Vultures, he never seems to run out of the juice. Anyway if your a fan of any of these go pick this up if you haven't already.

On the game front I think I'm going to jump back on to my dust encrusted Wii and get back into Xenoblade. Sounds like a sequel/prequel may be in the works. Not that I really need a reason to play it, but that little nugget of info has got me wanting to get back to it.

Josh is a genius. Josh Homme and Dave Grohl together, there are no words to describe that.

Get back to Xenoblade. It is my favourite RPG on any current gen system. It took a short while to kick in but once it took hold I was obsessed.

Crooked Vultures is probably one of the best super groups to come together in a long while. I respect Grohl as a fellow drummer for wanting to be a frontman, but he does his best work behind a kit. One of the greatest percussionist of his generation for sure. And then they get a legend like John Paul Jones on bass, keys, and producer !?

I got about 10 hrs into Xenoblade then I got distracted. I'm over due to return,lol. Might even just start over.

Thanks, getting it put a nice dent in my savings though, but that will sink in after the shiny new computer effect wears off, lol.
