Skullcandy INK'd earbuds review

Ink'd RastaInk'd RastaI recently order a pair of Skullcandy earbuds. This is the first time I've bought a pair of earbuds. I usually just use the pair that come with the ipod. Soon after I opened the the Skullcandy INK'd earbuds and them, I notice a complete difference in sound quality. The base in songs is so much more high quality. The Ink'd earbuds also include three sets of silicon gels. I use the smallest set because they fit the best. The Ink'd earbuds act almost as ear plugs blocking outside noise and this when the music isn't even on. I was impressed the quality of the Ink'd earbuds. For the price of only $19.99 you find the earbuds to fit your needs great sound quality and cheap price.

The "Nicholson Electroplating" Arson case surfaced in a recent ad from Best Buy making it the first dlc to be confirmed for L.A. Noire. With the exception of the preorder exclusive cases offered from Wal-mart and Gamestop. In addition an interview from 1UP, has Team Bondi founder Brendan McNamara talking about two whole desk which were cut out of the final game. It is likely the two desks "Burglary and Bunko" will most likely resurface later this year as dlc content much in the way of Grand Theft Auto's episodes from Liberty City.

Battlefield 3 preview



It is 2014, Coalition forces are occupied along the Iraqi/Iran border. U.S. Marine forces have engaged with a hostile insurgency known as the PLR. As the demo starts several Marines exit out of a ACP into a busy street, there is a mixture of Iraqi civilians and other soldiers. One of your fellow Marines makes a smart comment "Have you ever asked yourself how this part of the world gets f*cked up all the time". Your squad meets up with the CO as he tasks your team on a search and rescue mission to find Jackson's squad. As the team moves through a building it starts to shake. One Marine comments that the E.O.D. teams should blow up the ammo dumps farther away, another Marine replies saying it is a quake tremor. Later, they spot an armed truck most likely to intercept the missing Marines. The Marines then enter into a parking lot as one Marine is shot by a sniper, the Marines open fire and the player drags the injured marine to safety. The squad is engaged in heavy fire with the insurgents. The insurgents are killed and the injured Marine is okay. Whoever was playing is pretty dumb as the player runs toward the direction  of an rpg it hits a car near him. The player flies backwards knocking him over onto his back. Another battle emerges, but the Marines quickly end the situation.

Part 2 the squad moves on a rooftop to takeout a sniper. The squad tactically maneuvers around different air ducts and pipes. All at the sametime the sniper takes pot-shots at the team. The Marines crawl over to the ledge, during the time the screen flashes grey. I've heard it been called suppression mode. One of your teammates hands you an at-4 rocket launcher. The squad provides supressing fire as the player launches a rocket into the sniper nest. The rocket tears a large hole out of the hotel. The destruction from the rocket was not scripted and the player can fire the rocket any part of the hotel.

In part 3 your squad locates the missing squad and the player (Sargent Black) investigates a suspicious wire leading into a basement. Black crawls into a air duct following the wire, dropping into another room, Black locates the ied. Black searches for a way to disarm the bomb. Black is attacked by a enemy and they both engage in hand to hand combat. Black knocks out the enemy and disarms the bomb. On Black's headset an Marine tells Black to head back to the surface. As the Marine forces are engaged in a massive battle with the PLR. Black sprints the middle of a bridge overlooking a highway. Black picks up an M240 bravo machine gun. The Marines do the best they can trying to stop the advancing insurgents. A little bird helicopter armed with duel miniguns help the Marines repel the attack. The insurgents regroup and flank the Marines as Black mans the machine gun on a technical. The fighting is interrupted as an earthquake hits the city. The pavement cracks and rises from the ground as a large building falls in the direction of Black. It is presumed that Black barely survives the collapsing building. The trailer ends with a montage of the city under attack, soldiers base jumping, first person view of a jet and a tank. The demo for me was quite impressive with great graphics and gameplay. What I really want is more information from Battlefield 3's multiplayer. Battlefield 3 will be released in fall of 2011.

ORIGINAL STORY: Information on Modern Warfare 3 leaked early, but that’s not going to stop us from getting excited about the game’s first trailer.
Robert Bowling, Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward, just tweeted about the teaser trailer for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. He also mention that a lot of the info that has "leaked" is inacurate. "A lot of hype & a lot of leaked info on #MW3, some still accurate, some not. To avoid spoiling the experience, I'd wait for the real reveal." We're expecting to see the game at this years E3, so we can look forward to having this all straightened out then. -(information from gameinformers.com)

It seems that part of the game does indeed take place in New York. Another interesting tidbit is the Russian at the end. If you're curious, we roughly translated Makarov's speech to mean, "One dreams of destroying all hope of victory." -( Information from ign.com)
