Hey guys! Long time no blog post, huh? I know, I know, I should post
more often on my blog but there wasn't anything substantial enough for
me to write about... but trust me, I have some great things to talk
about.

First,
this last saturday was my birthday, it was a cool one, but rather calm.
I was mainly with my girlfriend, she spend the whole weekend at my
house with my family and I, watching movies, playing halo in coop and
so on. She's not a gamer, the last game she ever played before meeting
me was blood, and that's a rather... old title, but she's adapting
somehow, I'm converting her! Soon she'll join my ranks of evil
gamers...! The best part was the day before my B-day, you see, first, I
received my new home cinema for my room, is a new Sony A/V receiver
with a 7.1 speaker system... Man, after a whole afternoon connecting my
pc, Xbox, a new DVD (it has HDMI HD upscaling, the main reason why I
bought it), digital tv... when I first turned it on I was blown away.
Yesterday I made an official test, inviting my parents and my brothers
to my room for a moment, I made them watch for a moment War Of the
Worlds, when the first tripod appears... Man!! Beautiful sound! Just
Beautiful! I already had a 5.1 A/V Receiver but crappy speakers, just
so you know, they were old 30 w speakers, now they're 150 W. Cool huh?
Huge difference, and playing Halo2 on Coop was great, I noticed a huge
difference.

But that's not all, I also got my hands on a copy of
Double Agent, I couldn't test it so far, it's still wrapped, but soon
my friends, soon... Anyway, what was really exciting though, was the
fact that I received a message that I was invited to a limited, private
party for Gears Of Wars, an event here in madrid organised by
Microsoft, the official presentation of Gears Of War in Spain where
I'll be able to play Gears of War a whole hour, I could do anything I
want with it, play solo or MP, of course, I'll play MP with the other
winners. Man... I couldn't hide my excitement, tomorrow is the
presentation so expect my Hands on this thursday! All of this a day
before my B-Day, huge contrast, in comparison, my B-day didn't hold any
more surprises! So, guys, some report huh?
