Baseball season is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier. For all you baseball nuts out there who also enjoy an occasional video game, let me give you a quick tip. Buy MLB 2k7!!! It’s quite possibly the one of the best baseball games…..and games…..that I’ve played in quite a long time. Great graphics, great playability, and incredibly addicting. So between games on TV, games on the 360, and fantasy baseball, I’ve managed to immerse myself in America’s Pastime. It’s almost like being in heaven. Granted, heaven apparently has yard work as well, since I’ve been slowly but surely getting the yard, here at the house, beautified. I’m sure I’ll post a few photos of the progress in the photo area, so you can see the fruits of my labor as it evolves.

I’d love to stay and chit-chat, but duty calls and believe it or not, I have things to see and people to do, as they say. So on that note…..

~Enjoy

Sound the trumpets and roll out the red carpet, because here it is. Now aren’t you impressed? Was it worth the wait. Heh, of course it was. I’m sure you were getting tired of the old look, as I was. Considering that in the few short months I’ve had boroski.com, I’ve learned quite a bit more about web design. In order for you all to take me seriously, I figured I’d better create more of a ‘serious’ look to my site. I’m not trying to bad-mouth my original look by any means (the learning curve has to start somewhere, right). However, when compared to this, you can’t disagree that it was pretty rudimentary.

So, what can you expect with this new layout? Well, the same thing you expected with the old one. Some great links to visit, some outrageous videos to view, and some witty banter to read. You wouldn’t want it any other way would you? The updates will now be back on track every week, occurring either Sunday night or Monday (depending on my ‘demanding’ schedule that’s known as my life). So, you’ve got that going for you! This means you can shut off the bath water and put the razor blades away. You’ve got a reason to live again.

As for what’s on tap this week….

Well, I’m rather excited about the fact that my favorite comedian, Jim Norton is coming to town. I’ll be at his show on Friday night and there will be a recap posted in the blog. Hopefully, he’ll be taking pity on a nobody like myself and will pose for a photo with me. Other than that, I’ll be continuing my dominance of my circle of friends on Xbox Live (if you’re interested in buying one, read this first), as well as continuing the mission of getting the house all squared away (I moved in with Katherine in December in case you forgot).

So that being said, enjoy the featured content for the week, and thanks a lot for your patience during this entire redesign time. While my numbers weren’t quite as up there as I’ve grown accustomed to (understandably so), it’s good to know that through it all you didn’t wipe the site from your mind.

Now, on with the show!!

This page started out as just a way to get a friend of mine fully hooked up with an Xbox 360 for as cheap as possible (barring going to any little known deal-shack on the web). Next thing I know it was given a thumbs up on Stumble. It’s intent was to include games that myself and some others in the ‘circle of friends’ have, as well as give him some good accessories to ‘complete’ the system.

That being said, do what you want with it. However, depending on where you live, read it all the way through and you’ll get everything you could possibly want AND save some cash:

Ok, here’s the deal. This is how you can get the most bang for your buck.

For accessories, you’ll need 3 things:

1) Wireless adapter to connect to the router.
2) Wireless joystick
3) Cord charger w/rechargeable battery (lasts 25-ish hours on one charge) to play and charge the wireless controller at the same time.

Here’s how you get them (there’s a trick):

Go to bestbuy.com and take advantage of their deal 10% off any game with the purchase of any accessory. Thing is you have to make 3 separate orders to take full advantage since you only get 10% off the lowest price accessory. If you schedule to pick up your order at a Best Buy store you can get all 3 orders at the same time and save about 30 bucks for all you need accessory-wise.

So basically, I’d buy:
The joystick and game Gears of War in one order
The cord charger and game Tiger Woods in another order.
Wireless adapter (for the network) & game Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter in another order.

Then get yourself:

The system, and a router. Get the $399 Premium System with wireless controller, 20 gig hard drive, and headset for Xbox Live (plus 1 month trail). Don’t be lured by the Madden deal that they offer.

Now for the router. You’re best bet is this router. It’s currently $20 off.

This brings you’re grand total of saving about $50 for about 10-15 minutes of work by placing THREE separate orders on bestbuy.com for the accessory + game deal.

Hook it all up and then set up your Xbox Live profile and you’re set. You’ll have three games that myself and the rest of the group have.

GAME ON!!!
