Happy 4th of July! ^_^

Remember the WB network? That had shows like Tweety and Sylvester, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and so many other awesome shows?

Kids’ WB and the WB both ended when the network turned into the CW. On April 28, 2008 however, it was announced that there would be a revival! Currently, you can visit here to see the Kids’ WB network, which features quite a few cartoon shows. As for The WB, it is a private beta, and you can sign up right here.

The WB will be an online site, and will feature series like Buffy, The O.C, and Gilmore Girls, plus many others shows and original series. This is great news for everyone! For up to date news, join the WB Facebook group, here.

In less than two weeks, it will be my birthday.

I have been wanting an HDTV for a long time now - and it seems that I have finally settled on one.

Its a Samsung brand, and it looks great. Its roughly $500, and weighs about 20 pounds.

Its 22 inches, which is wonderful for our apartment and it has a 3000:1 contrast ratio. Here is the link to the product. I will write an update in the future when I receive it and how I am enjoying being in the HD world (finally!)

Ready for some more “Brother”?

Big Brother 10 premieres July 13, 2008 on the CBS television network. The show will air three times a week; Sundays at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), Tuesdays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), and Wednesdays at 8 p.m (live ET/delayed PT).

Of course, if you miss an episode, you can watch them all online, right here.

After many years of delivering beautiful music, especially trance, artist Oceanlab, which consists of Jonathan Grant, Tony McGuinness, Above & Beyond’s Paavo Siljamäki and mesmerizing vocalist Justine Suissa (who is the vocalist for songs like Satellite, Clear Blue Water, Breaking Ties, and many others) - is coming out with their debut album, set to be released July 21st.

By pre-ordering the CD, you will get a limited edition signed copy. I am very excited! Its about $17 US. For more info and music samples, click here.

Project Runway, an awesome reality TV show that pits designers in an epic contest to see who can create the best clothes, has been a tremendous hit over the last few years. Since its inception, Project Runway has been on the Bravo channel - however this season will be the last.

Due to a breach of contract, NBC, the owner of Bravo is filing a lawsuit against the producers of the show. Future seasons will be on Lifetime.

Season 5 starts on July 16 at 9pm EST on Bravo. : )

Summer is here I suppose. It’s 80 degrees outside, and my summer session of college starts today.

Besides getting an education, here’s my top 3 things I will be doing over the summer besides working on my blog and playing video games. Maybe you might do them too?

3. Make some videos on my YouTube Channel - while I have been making them for a few months now, Summer is always the best time for me to do these things. I seem to be getting better at making them : )

2. Spending more time on the Xbox.com forums - its generally a nice community on there without the drama. I like helping people, especially on the DDR forums.

1. Learn Spanish - this has been a goal of mine for quite some time now. I’ve only learned a few words so far, and I have taken out from the Library two Spanish books. In the fall, I will be taking a Spanish class.

Breaking news indeed. Itagaki, the man behind many video games such as the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series is suing Tecmo - and what is odd is why - here is what he said in a statement:

Before the start of development on DEAD OR ALIVE 4, Tecmo Co., Ltd. had agreed to pay a completion bonus to me for this Xbox 360 title, which I produced. However, when the time came for the actual payment, Tecmo Co., Ltd. went against its previous agreement and refused payment.

President Yoshimi Yasuda chose not only to violate this agreement, but also turned defiant, telling me “if you are dissatisfied with the decision not to pay the bonuses, either quit the company or sue it.”

In addition, he made demeaning remarks about me to my subordinates and colleagues, causing me significant emotional distress and worsening my personal relationships and work environment.

Thus, I have no choice but to resign from Tecmo Co., Ltd.
The conduct of Tecmo Co., Ltd. and its president Yoshimi Yasuda towards me has been unbefitting of a publicly-listed company.

Its strange that he is suing about a game that was released a few years ago. Why such a long wait?

Whatever the case, best of luck in your endeavors, Mr. Itagaki.

He resigns from Tecmo July 1st.
