Hey there. Still looking for that last minute gift? You can get all kind of small trinkets that will fit comfortably inside of a stocking but the problem with that is that they are small, impersonal items that your young ones will forget as soon as they receive them. Why not put their imagination to work! Give them a book!
"Metallman, you are a fool! I don't want to read! I want to play video games!"
I hear ya, friend. But books can be just as awesome of games. Books can be just as intense as an action packed FPS, they can be just as intriguing as a compelling RPG, and they can be just as terrifying as a survival horror game. I, for one, love to read and I wouldn't mind receiving a good book under the christmas tree! Still not convinced? No problem, check out the infographic below for a few reasons why books make a great gift!

Enter to win Steam Codes for Bioshock, Bioshock 2, and Bioshock Infinite
Hey there. Bioshock... I love the hell out of that series. I've been a fan ever since the first Bioshock game and I've followed the series as it's progressed into the much praised Bioshock Infinite. So, when I saw that Amazon was having a deal where you can get all three Bioshock games for $20, I damn near fell off my chair! lol You know that deals on Amazon come and go so if you want to try your luck and see if it's still gonig on, you can click on the Bioshock banner above and check. But if it is gone... NO WORRIES! Metallman has your back! I'm going to give away the Steam codes for all three games right here, right now! It's giveaway time, folks!

Steam Family Sharing Enters Beta in Mid September
Hey there. One of the things that many people love about Steam is the ease of being able to download an awesome game for an unbelievably low price. Once you own that game, it's yours and will forever be tied to your account. But what if there is one computer and multiple Steam accounts? At this point in time, each account would need to purchase the game in order to play it. Well... that's about to change! Steam Family Sharing will allow game sharing on accounts that also share the same computer! How awesome is that?!?! No longer will your son or daughter have to use your personal Steam account to play games. You can authorize them to access your games on thier personal account and they can now play your downloaded games. The best part about it is that they will also have their own saved files and achievements tied to their accounts and won't affect your personal account what so ever.

Submit Your The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Fan Art and Win a Wii U
Hey there. Did you guys know that there is a symphony going around playing The Legend of Zelda music? It's pretty damn cool and I was soooooo disappointed when I was not able to score tickets to see it live when the symphony was in Los Angeles. I love The Legend of Zelda series and I indulge in classical music from time to time so to have The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses come to town, I just needed to be there! *sigh* But it wasn't meant to be... But you know what... THEY'RE BACK! Another tour will be starting soon and Nintendo is inviting fans to be a part of the symphony's tour! How? By submitting The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD fan art! Nintendo plans on kicking off a contest later today on the Nintendo Facebook page where you can submit your fan art. 5 winners will win a Wii-U console as well as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD game. But that's not all, friends! On Sept. 12th, the 5 winners (as well as the top 50 finalists) will have their art displayed at the lobby of the venue where The Symphony of the Goddesses is playing! How awesome is that?!

What I'm Playing... Bioshock Infinite Clash in the Clouds
Hey there. I haven't had one of these posts in a while. Sorry. I've been so caught up in so many things that some things slip my mind and before I know it, the week's over. Anyways, ever since the latest DLC for Bioshock Infinite was released, I've been playing Clash in the Clouds non stop. For those of you that are not familiar with the DLC, it's similar to a battle arena where Booker and Elizabeth take on several enemies at once. It may not sound like much at first, but it's the challenge behind the Blue Ribbon challenges that have really captivated me. Sure, I can get through the 60 waves of enemies without a hitch, if I just run and blast my way through enemies. But that's not the point of Clash in the Clouds. The Blue Ribbon challenges is where it's at! Challenges like, "Defeat each enemy with a different vigor." Not bad, right? Oh... but your enemies are 2 HandyMans and a Motorized Patriot. Yeah, good luck. lol Also, I love that some of the Blue Ribbon challenges are creative too. "Defeat a Handyman while he's charging the sky lines." "Defeat the Siren before she raises the dead." I simply live for a challenge and right now I'm enthralled into this fight and giving it my all.

I'm Not Going to Gen Con Indy This Year. Unless...
Hey there. As the title suggests, I do not plan on attending Gen Con Indy this year and I am extremely disappointed. Gen Con Indy is scheduled from August 15th through the 18th and I was hoping that I would be able to raise enough funds to get a plane ticket over there and enjoy my 4 day press pass. But alas, it's not meant to be. Why? Well... 2 things actually. I haven't been as active as I would like to have been online these past few months due to me getting things together in my personal life. Second, because of that, I haven't earned as much online income as I would have hoped so there simply are no funds available for me to use to get to Indy.

What I'm Playing... Pushmo
Hey there. This weekend, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Donkey Kong at the LA Zoo. I haven't had a chance to post about it just yet, but that post should go live within the next day or so. While there, I got to play Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D for the Nintendo 3DS. It's a great game, by the way, but while I was playing, it got me thinking of some of the other titles that I have on the 3DS. Specifically, titles that I have received from the Nintendo eShop. That place is a gold mine for great games! The lastest one that I received? Pushmo!!!!

Donkey Kong Country Invades the LA Zoo and Botanical Gardens this Memorial Day Weekend
Hey there! Who has any plans for this Memorial Day Weekend? Many of us will be firing up the grill and having outdoor BBQ and others will venture off to the beach or other main attraction. It's almost as if Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of Summer. My plans for this weekend is to take the family to the LA Zoo! It's been awhile since we last visited the zoo so I think it'll be a great time to check it out. Our young one is now 3 so he's old enough to enjoy checking out the animals. Who knows, maybe he'll enjoy spotting lions, snakes, alligatots, Donkey Kong. Wait... What?!?! DONKEY KONG?! YUP!!! This Memorial Day weekend, Nintendo has partnered up with the LA Zoo & Botanical Gardens to host an event! How awesome is that?! The event is taking place in the Campo Gorilla Reserve to commemorate the launch of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on the Nintendo 3DS on May 24th, 2013.
