Money, money, money...
Our society and humanity is all about life and living. People all over the planet dream for one thing, freedom. A person cannot live freely without at least one person judging him or her based on their financial status.
We started off with sticks and stones, we lived in caves, hunted wildlife for food and stayed put with necessities alone but now we live in skyscrapers, use technology to substitute machinery for manpower and overwhelm ourselves with stuff that we want and not really need. Progress is what they call it, Desecration is what I see.
Our world, our lives is all about money. People fight over money, families get broken over money, friendships are destroyed over money, whatever you say, you are a fool for thinking that our lives today is not about money. Well, you're right about one thing, it shouldn't be about money. Ask people right now and they'll tell you that all of the things that humanity has accomplished is progress, technology is progress, landing on the moon is progress, 40 story buildings are progress, money... is progress.
Well, they're right, to a certain extent but completely wrong the rest of the way. Our system of economy has certainly brought humanity to greater heights but the silent assassin that has been staling our every move and listening to very sound we make is still here and it's getting stronger by the minute. We have failed to realize that the foundation of life that we have continue to build and protect is acting like a poison, slowly killing us and eventually bringing us to brink of extinction.
Our lives are dominated with the thing that we work for and we fail to understand what we really need to value. I hope it is not too late, I hope that we may undo what we have done but for us to succeed at fixing everything that we have damaged, we need to understand that we have damaged our lives. We have failed.
Humanity needs to realize that our life shouldn't be like what it currently is. People need to open their eyes and see the true stature of reality. How can we sleep at night knowing that our children are gonna be living the same lives that we are right now, the next generation. This is not the life that they deserve to realize. We need to start working to change our ways and make things right.
I know that this article didn't really have a certain answer for the question - What is wrong with the current status of out lives? - Well, if you still don't know what is slowly consuming us or you don't know what it exactly is then you're living proof of what I'm stating.
We need to renew the flow of our lives. We are so high up that we are unable to detect what is pulling us below deeper and deeper. We have made our lives our very own grave.
We have deprived ourselves of the things that made us human in the first place. Our unity. We have grown weary and apart.

PSN down and out!
The PlayStation Network has been out for a couple of days now and it's still out. It's been a little crazy how bad everything is going for the PSN right now. It may have been hackers and if it were hackers than the damage dealt is said to be so big that the information of PSN account holders such as address, by address I mean everything and when I say everything I mean down to the very street and house that you live in. Names, age, gender and so much more info has been stolen and one of the biggest things is credit card number. They are working on it and they promise their customers a refund and probably even a free item or a discount once the Network is back and running.
That's hell of a lot of bad news and I hope everything gets better and no one get's their belongings or identity stolen from them. Sheesh! Hackers have been gobbling up everything. Since the Geohot crisis with Sony, hackers have actually waged war with Sony and well, that's not good.

HEADLINERS!
Nintendo has officially confirmed that they are working on a successor for the Wii
Nintendo has had a lot of success with their consoles and now they are working on a new one the Wii 2. Some call it Project Cafe and other call it FANdango. Whatever it is, Nintendo has promised us the it will be in E3, playable and more information about the console will be released in the future. The Nintendo Wii has sold over 80 million units (Dang, Nintendo is LOADED!) and the newly-released 3DS has sold 3.6 million units. Nintendo has definitely made a name for itself on making and getting phat on money off consoles and the Wii 2 or whatever it's called will and is certainly causing a buzz.

This is one of the many photos that are out there in the web and if this is really what it is than it is gonna be epic. This just looks amazing, my imagination is just full of stuff to what this system really is and how diverse and fun it can really be. Just by the look of this photos, I'm excited and thrilled. It looks sexy.

Game On!
GET YOUR GAME ON!
This segment is all about video games! I'll be doing this once or twice a week for now because I'm still starting but I'll work up as WE progress through.
First things up, GAMING NEWS!
LEAKAGE! A DLC for Fallout: New Vegas, which is of course, one of the biggest, quest-based, free-roam sort of games of all time. It's known for how goddarn big the game is, over 200 hours of gameplay to finish the entire game. Bethesda is working on a DLC named "Honest Hearts" and well, let's just say that there was a leak in the system. Looks like BP is contagious.

DS LITE! What DS Lite? Nintendo has now confirmed that production of the DS Lite has now ceased since sales have ceased as well. The Hood's Thoughts: Well, they brought this damnation amongst themselves for releasing a bloody new gadget every goddarn year! They overwhelm each system with the next system that's gonna be coming out. Let's just hope that the Wii 2.0 will be good.
DS Lite production halted - ( http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/04/22/ds-lite-production-has-discontinued.aspx )
PSN downage!? The PSN or otherwise known as the PlayStation Network has been down for maintenance for a day and is still down for maintenance to this minute. Any programs that might be associated with this network may experience some difficulty logging in or even viewing the program, such programs include netflix, the PlayStation Network and more.

The Hood's Verdict!
PATAPON 3
The Patapon franchise has probably been one of the most, if not the most, successful franchise on the PSP system. Patapon 1 and 2 were given the honor as "PSP Game of the Year" by countless gaming authorities and Patapon 3 is definitely up for the running. It brings that catchy music and frantic gameplay back to the PSP and even better.
PROS (+)
1. Multiplayer. Patapon 3 gives us the chance to play with other people through the internet our with our friends and it is fantastic. You group up with up to 4 different players and band together to take on bosses with your Uberhero or battle against each other with rhythmic battle. Overall, the multiplayer system in Patapon 3 is a fresh new addition to the franchise and one of the greatest revolutions for the PSP system.
2. Looks, Sounds and Gameplay. Patapon 3 looks, sounds and plays great. In a 2D frame with lush, vibrant and beautiful colors, effects and the patapon themselves, this game will force you to play it and you'll have lots of fun. It brings back the old gameplay but now you don't have a huge cluster of patapon but just 5 soldiers, your Hatapon, Uberhero and three other soldiers. You still use the d-pad for the drums and still same game mechanics but with so much more new content.
3. So much MORE content. The game gives you so much new content! There's a store now, the amazing multiplayer, compelling story - since you're no longer a god but an Uberhero you're compelled to care about your squad because you're a part of them and not just a deity in the skies. Overall, lots of new stuff that blends well with the irreplaceable mechanics that it used to have and still do.
CONS (-)
1. GRINDING. Grinding to make your Uberhero and patapon squad is a hell of a lot of time and effort. It can easily bore you to go through all of the same levels and keep repeating them hoping for good items from the chests and leveling up your squad.
2. TOO MANY TO COMPREHEND!! For fans of the franchise, the gameplay is a dream but for new players it can be a little overwhelming due to the sheer amount of content in the game - leveling up your squad, changing the skill sets, leveling up your items, making a good squad for each mission, customizing everything for anything - it can be really big for nwebies.
3. Still Exclusive to the PSP. I'm not complaining that this game is on the PSP but I'm complaining that IT'S ONLY ON THE PSP. I love this game and this franchise and I think it's amazing but I hate to see it go to waste a little bit because it is not exposed to as many people as it could be. There's so much potential to what this game could be and how big it could get but since it's only on the PSP, which, I'll be honest is actually a terrible gaming system, it's not out there too much.
THE FINAL FRONTIER!?
Presentation - 8
Graphics - 8.5
Sound - 9.5
Gameplay - 9
The Hood's Natural Vibe to the game - 8.5
OVERALL - 9
Great deals for Patapon 3 - ( http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Patapon+3&x=0&y=0 )

The Brain Train!
"Pro-Life" ?
This is gonna be another segment of my blog where I talk about a particular matter that's currently making a buzz in our lives. This is where I would love for you guys to comment and state what you think, well, I would want you guys to comment on every post I make but emphasis on this segment because my goal for starting this segment of my blog was to start getting people to actually think and analyze current events on the freakin' planet and ultimately send out the right mindset for that particular matter. In three words, INTRODUCE, DEBATE and CORRECT.
For our very first topic, I would like to talk to you guys about PRO-LIFE. Recently there were these people, particularly in the Philippines, who were happy to see our country flourish and grow in population which is basically more freakin' mouths to feed. As of today, the Philippines' population is over 100 MILLION. That is a staggering number considering a country that's barely bigger than Florida.
It's not a secret anymore that the Philippines is one of the poorest countries on the planet and it has the most corrupt government in Asia. Right now, only a very small percent of Filipinos actually get to live a comfortable life, lots of them struggle and even more of them practically have no life at all! The country's environment has gone to hell! The animal welfare is - wait, what animal welfare!? The country who was once a leader of rice exports in Asia is now importing rice from other countries!
What does this tell you? What quality of life have we got to offer for most of our people? If you are really "PRO-LIFE" then you should nurture and take care of life, not watch it grow and foolishly think it's getting better when it's full of itself.
If you really care about "LIFE" than you should be smart and bold enough to know and do what is right cause adding more children to this country will only make it all worse. What we need to do is get everything in tact and everyone in proper communication with one another.
How could you call yourselves warriors and guardians of "LIFE" if you can't even see what's biting you in the arse.

This segment is all about video games! I'll be doing this once or twice a week for now because I'm still starting but I'll work up as WE progress through.
First things up, GAMING NEWS!
The PSP GO is now GOne! Sony has officially declared that they have stopped the production of the PSP GO due to it's, shall we say, unsuccessful venture into the "Gadget Kingdom", if you will. When it was released, the PSP GO was at a pricey $250 dollars! It was released on October 1, 2009 and only lived for about a year and a half.
PSP GO - GOne!? - ( http://kotaku.com/#!5793411/is-the-pspgo-out-of-production )
Portal 2! The long-awaited sequel to the very first Portal game released by Valve is now out and it is currently facing a lot of HATE. That's just makes me sad. I think portal 2 is great. The humor is amazing and it gives you that mind-bending, puzzle solving game that it used to but way better! Plus CO-op! Along with stellar voice-acting and script writting. Portal 2 is now out for $50, specifically, on steam.

FATALITY! Mortal Kombat is out and it brings that bloody fighting mechanics and characters to our consoles. Mortal Kombat is that old fighting game that blended in with games such as Street Fighter but rose because of all the blood, I guess. Anyways, Mortal Kombat is now out and bloodier than ever.
