From My Perspective – Official DateHookup Blog

Seriously is there a more frustrating game than MW2?  I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at my TV as much as I do when I play this game.  Allow me to rant for a minute here…

Okay, first off, I bought this game the first day it came out and played pretty much every day for 2 months straight.  I pretty much retired from video games years ago after I started my business (believe me, once you are running a business video games just don’t hold your interest anymore), so yes I am rusty.  And it’s true, I never really played console games once I bought a computer when I was 16.  Give me a mouse and keyboard and I can wreck fools all day on a FPS game, but the Xbox controller?  Forget about it.  HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE AIM USING THIS STUPID THING?!?  Seriously it’s impossible.  It’s so damn sensitive the slightest movement of your thumb will move your cross hair by over a foot.  That’s not good when you’re aiming at someone 30+ feet away.  And I have the sensitivity to like 3 or something out of 10.

So Apple finally unveiled their new tablet, the iPad.  I figured they would go 1 of 2 ways with this device, it would either be a a giant iPhone or it would be something totally new that we never would have expected (I don’t know exactly, some super awesome new technology that made it super thin or something).  They went with the giant iPhone.  Seriously it looks almost exactly like an iPhone except super big.

Why am I not impressed?  Mainly because I could have already predicted this exact device.  I expect more from Apple.  When the iPhone came out it was revolutionary.  The iPad is nothing more than a heavy iPhone that doesn’t fit into your pocket.  The price is good though, I’ll give them that.  $499 is really good for a new device, and you know Apple always maintains high margins so they are making good profits off each one most likely.

Now of course I have not tried one of these babies out yet, maybe it’s cooler than it looks.  It’s going to depend a lot on publishers really.  If they can create some compelling content then it might be worth having.  I like reading magazines, I get like 5 subscriptions sent to my house every month.  Could this replace those?  I don’t know.  Could this device replace my laptop when out of town?  Perhaps.  That might make it worth having right there.  How does it read?  Does it hurt your eyes after awhile?  If you can legitimately read a book on it without it bugging your eyes then that would be pretty cool (but then I wouldn’t be building my physical book library anymore, hmmm).

In the end I’m sure I’ll buy it because I always buy this crap.  It should come in handy while traveling (I watched a movie on my iPhone on my last trip, it’s a pretty crappy experience let me tell you).

(BTW, if the web browser doesn’t support Flash and file uploads I’m going to be seriously pissed, Apple better not F this up)

I have decided to take this blog in a new direction.  As you can see this is the first post in like a year.  Originally this blog was going to be about dating.  Dating advice, articles, and other related content.  I decided that’s kind of boring so now it’s going to be my personal blog.  My name is Dustin, I run DateHookup.com.  What I hope to do here is share my experience running one of the bigger dating sites around.  It won’t all be about datehookup.com though.  There are a lot of things that go on when running a business, I hope to touch on everything over time.

Now the question is, will I update this thing regularly?  I have a tendancy to get bored with stuff, and writing is definitely not my strong suit.  So we’ll see.  If you don’t see a new post in months, I’m probably not dead, just got bored.
