PS3 – Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time

Posted on by

After a night out for Drinksgiving, I wound up at Brendan’s house because I was unable to drive home. Woo for passing out on a futon.

In the morning I woke up and realized that video games are awesome. I tooled around on Brendan’s PS3 hooked up to a big ass HD TV and had a bunch of fun playing the demo for Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time.

It had some really cool game play features, like creating a snapshot of your past self to help you solve puzzles. Your past self could go off somewhere else to push a button that opens a door while your current self went through the door.

All of this got me thinking… I don’t own a nice TV, and I don’t own a video game system. I *could* buy a big ass HD TV as well as a PS3, and I’d be moving into the modern world. If I could get my computer hooked up to it, it would be even better.

It’s either that, or I’m just buying myself a 30″ LCD for my computer.

Your thoughts?

Shooter’s Log – Day 3

Posted on by

Yesterday, November 22nd, Shapess, Sarah, and I went shooting at PDHSC again.

I fired 50 rnds of the 9mm federal fmj, and 50 rounds of Magtech i think? I don’t remember the exact brand. I felt a little more accurate with the Magtech.

They let us shoot in Range 2 because the place was crowded. This means I got to knock down the row of steel plates! This was fricking awesome. At one point I went through and mowed down almost the entire row of 10. w00t. pling pling pling

The highlight of the day was that Sarah got to shoot a few magazines. This was entertaining to watch, and somewhat scary at the same time. Luckily everyone made it through the experience with the same number of holes that they started with.

Hopefully Sarah had a fun time and learned a bit about shooting. The guys at PDHSC were very helpful and made sure she got some useful tips along the way. I even learned some things.

Shooter’s Log – Day 2

I went to PDHSC again on October 31st.

Shapess and I shot at the Zombie targets. It was pretty damn awesome, you can check out the pics on Facebook.

I fired another 100 rounds of my Federal 9MM FMJ through the CZP07 duty.

I shot well in the beginning, and middle, but lost accuracy in the end.

At some point in the middle I fired a magazine of 15 Winchester Hollow Points. No difference in accuracy that I noticed, but they made a smaller hole through the paper target.

That puts me up to a total about ~250 rounds fired.

The bulge on the right side frame is still there, but hasn’t gotten any bigger.

I fired 20 rounds through Shapess’ Glock 19. I liked it quite a bit. It has a nice, feel, very accurate, and a bit lighter than the P07.
