Playstation 3: Fallout 3, lot’s of Fallout 3
by apexad on Apr.17, 2010, under News
I’ve been playing Fallout 3 lately. For anyone that has not played the game, you are missing out. At first the wide open map of the game is very overwhelming, but as you play it more and more and discover locations, the game moves pretty quickly since you can just ‘fast’ jump around the map. I’ve already beaten the game once, but now I’m going back and trying to complete all the sub-missions.
Online Texas Casinos
by apexad on Apr.10, 2010, under News
My last post was about the drive to Phoenix. Naturally, I went through Texas. I was cleaning up my stuff since I just got a new apartment, and I came across some “Don’t mess with Texas” stickers. Out of all the states I drove through, I saw the most cowboy hats in Texas. Cowboys are known for their gamblin’ ways, and in today’s world, that means they’re using online casino games (This link goes to onlinecasinotx.com which is a great site for anyone who wants to do a little bit of gambling online. It lists some of the top online casino games, but also provides you with a whole lot of information about the state of casinos through a blog style display. This post is sponsored by that site, so check it out if you’ve got a moment.)
Jeep Liberty: Road Trip to Phoenix
by apexad on Mar.24, 2010, under News
Previously, I tried to come up with a few things that Apex could stand for, like ‘Apex, Phoenix Employed, eXcited And Determined’. Well, that has become a reality, and I took a 1,900 mile road trip, stopping to sleep only one time. Once I got to Phoenix, I had living arrangements already all setup and even a job interview. I got the job, and I am currently going through training. So, you could say I have fully relocated to Phoenix as I have all my clothes and essentials here. I’m looking to get my own place within the next couple of weeks.
I’ve already done quite a bit of ‘fun’ stuff in Phoenix including going to a Brewers Spring Training game, going to the Heard Museum (A Native American Museum), went to a ‘man-made lake’ (aka pond) and tried to unsuccessfully catch some fish.
Otherwise, I’m keeping pretty busy enjoying the awesome weather. I’ll make another update on what it’s like in Phoenix soon!
Playstation3: Some of my Blu-ray collection on eBay
by apexad on Mar.07, 2010, under News
In the case of some of these there are new editions coming out that I may pick up at some point. In the case of some of them though, I simply regret buying it. Both of those reasons mean that I have posted the Blu-ray disc up on eBay. Like all of my auctions, the starting price is 99 cents because I know that enough people will bid the price up to a reasonable level.
Here are all the auctions:
Gattaca
Entrapment
X-Men Orgins: Wolverine
10,000 B.C.
Stargate: Continuum
Species
Total Recall
Stargate: Ark of Truth
If you’re interested, please comment and bid!
Free Template!
by apexad on Mar.04, 2010, under News
A friend of mine runs the site/company, Breakpoint Designs. On occasion I help him out with some of the customers. In fact, the Chakkaram website (coded by Breakpoint Designs) is my work.
However, even more exciting is the new Free Templates section that will be up very soon. The first template is my code. It’s quite advanced as it has the following features: 3 column page, 2 column page, jquery image rotator, xhtml strict,, and php page structure (header.php, footer.php).
You can preview the breakpoint template by clicking on the link. As soon as the template is live on Breakpoint Designs.com, I’ll update this post with a download link as well.
Sponsor: CinemaMob
by apexad on Feb.16, 2010, under News
In my last post, I talked about Blu-ray books. Continuing on the path of talking about movies and videos, I present apexad.net’s newest sponsored post. There is a brand new service called CinemaMob which I think many will enjoy. At a rate of $19.95 per month, Cinemamob gives you access to video clips of all kinds. At some point I think that it may perhaps have some small clips of movies that are available on Blu-ray. However, at this point it already has great 3d animations, sporting events, concerts, and so much more available. In general Cinemamob is designed for mobile phones and other mobile devices, but I think it would also be cool if it was ever made available for Playstation 3 as well. Here’s to wishing it will happen!
Playstation 3: Blu-ray Book List
by apexad on Feb.16, 2010, under News
I’m really a fan of the Blu-ray books. Honestly, I think it would have been awesome if movie studios abandoned the plastic cases in favor of a more ‘environment friendly’ paper book case like these special editions. Nevertheless, I’m doing my part to send them this message.
Update! 04-17-10: A few books moved to the bought list. I’ll try and update the other lists soon.
Update! 03-04-10: I’ve bought some more books…done some research…So I updated the lists.

Update: I found this list. 26 in all, but this list is actually missing some.
I want YOU in my Blogroll!
by apexad on Feb.15, 2010, under News
I am looking to add links to my Blogroll. Do you have a news site? blog? or any website? The deal is simple: link to my site, and I’ll link to yours.
For those that care, this site is a PR2, but that’s really only because I have not kept up making sure it has backlinks and all that jazz, which is why I now need to make this desperate cry for help. At one point it was a PR4, those were the days!
Jeep Liberty: Potential Road Trip Idea!
by apexad on Feb.15, 2010, under News
So, instead of driving the Jeep Liberty around and actually having to sleep in it, I’ve got a crazy idea. This post is sponsored by vacation rental and the great potential it has. I’ve tried sleeping in my Jeep before and it’s nothing like what luxury vacation rentals could provide me. The other great thing about vacation rentals is that in some cases they don’t even cost as much as hotels. Some of these vacation rentals may actually be vacation homes that the owners are renting out to tourists. Fireplaces, Pools, Beaches, Comfortable beds and so much more await me (or you) on the next great road trip.
So, what do you think of my Road Trip Idea?
Playstation 3: New controller, Deep Red
by apexad on Feb.13, 2010, under News
I actually managed to lose a Playstation 3 controller. That’s basically like losing a $50 bill! I had thought that I threw the controller into my backpack, to take with me so I could play PS3 at a friend’s house. When I got to his house, the controller was gone…it must have fallen out of my backpack or something. Either that or it could be lost at my parent’s house somewhere, among their PS3 controllers (yeah, my parent’s have a PS3 as well).
So…to replace my lost controller I decided to get one that I can tell apart from my parents controllers, and one that stands out among remotes or other stuff that could be on my floor.
DEEP RED!
