Steam Interface Overhaul (Beta)

24 Feb

On February 23rd, 2010 Valve announced the release of the new client BETA. This features a new redesigned look and feel of the Steam client. Steam is a free platform to download yet you need to buy games for some features to become useable like adding friends. This beta is opt-in meaning you don’t have to join it if you don’t want to. They have redesigned how it shows the store and the games section.

You can now see what games your friend has purchased within the store tab. This client beta also helps gamers alike be more organized and sort their games easier. I like this a lot. You can watch the video above and read about it here.

iPod Shuffle Review

23 Feb

Today, Tuesday February 23, 2010 I got a new MP3 player. This MP3 player is of course.. the NEW iPod shuffle 3rd generation. The shuffle prices at $59.00 for the 2GB model and $79.00 for the 4GB model. It comes with the new ear buds that come with the iPod touch with the volume control.

I like the color of the MP3 player it’s green. I also like how it’s very small and light. Since it’s lightweight I can clip it onto my shirt or pants pocket when I skate and that way it will most likely not fall off. It’s great that Apple made it so you could hear what song your listening to as well with “VoiceOver”.

Lastly, what I like about it is how it connects via Jack to USB meaning the USB connector plugs in via the headphone jack to your PC or Macintosh USB port. Some things that I do not like about it are the fact that the ear buds don’t fit my ears so that’s probably my fault for my ears being so big or small. I also don’t like where the volume controls are on the shuffle because I may not remember what’s what and I have to look right at my shoulder to see it. Watch the video for more information.

Lockerz “Play” Feature

21 Feb

Today, February 21st, 2010 the free-prize site Lockerz.com has added yet another way to earn PTZ(points). This feature is called “play” and if it isn’t obvious enough by the title, you earn points for well.. watching videos. The videos are hand picked by the staff at Lockerz and they include some music videos from Justin Bieber and Fall Out Boy. You can also watch films from Sundance Festival and so forth.

Each video you watch ALL the way – meaning you can’t just stop half way through gets you 2 ptz if you are a regular member. Now, if you have special Z-Lister status you earn 4 Ptz and they have a lot of videos so if you add that all up you get many points. I think this is a great new feature because the February redemption is soon and I can get some ptz for that. If you don’t have a Lockerz account you can send me an email by visiting the Contact page on my site and send me your e-mail. Preferably Yahoo or anything but Hotmail because that has been having some problems.

Thank you for reading,
