Misprint
I’m not really sure if it’s a “we’re terrible at quality control” problem, or if it’s a “this is a rare, one of a kind screw-up” sort of thing, but I’ve got a messed up Chrome Refractor I wanted to share and maybe get a second opinion on.
Battlefield Rage Quit
I honestly don’t know where to begin. I wanted to do a proper review of Battlefield 3, but I can’t see past the blind rage I’m feeling at the moment. It’s my own fault. I should have known better. I caught the “Crysis” bug and bought a game that, while visually appealing, was bound to have some problems. I thought by purchasing it for a console (PS3 in this case), I would be minimizing my headaches with hardware, drivers, Windows and the whole “it’s on Origin” bullshit. I was wrong. Fair warning, NSFW language ahead.
Lunch Break
While enjoying a tasty lunch at Whataburger, I stopped in at the Wallyworld across the street, fully intending to pick up just a blaster, or two mini-blasters of 2011 Topps Update, just in hopes of finishing off my set. While I did manage to get 2 of the 3 cards I’m missing, I came across something else. A so called “Value Box” from Topps that contained 5 packs up Update, a pack of Bowman Chrome, a random Chrome refractor and a Diamond Giveaway card. So I bought it and decided to share what’s in it, both as a review and to show off the couple hits that were inside.
End of the Blockade
For quite a long time now I’ve been blocking search engines. Mostly just to cut down on blog spam. I realized that while it’s easy to stay in my own little bubble, it really doesn’t make much sense. The point of a blog is an outward opinion, shared with the masses. A voice in the crowd that you can call your own. No one is trying to change the world or anything, but on rare occasions I’ve been known to make valid points. Why hide those from the world? So, from this day forward, this blog is no longer blocking itself voluntarily from the world. No more shelter, no more quite corner of the internet. If you’ve recently discovered this blog, than welcome. I hope you enjoy the nearly 10 years of randomness I’ve been known to produce. Also, please feel free to share the site, link to it from your own blog (which I hope many of you are already doing) and make liberal use of the discussions and comments. This also means a slight reduction in the highly personal posts, which, let’s be honest, are pretty scarce anyway. Don’t worry, ranting and raving will still be in fine form, that’s not going anywhere.
Also, if you’re interested in sponsoring this blog, I’m taking submissions from anything vaguely related to my interests. Anything hobby related, computer, video game, sports, food or entertainment. Bandwidth isn’t as cheap as it used to be. Please contact me if you feel like your company would be a good match for sponsorship or if you have anything you’d like reviewed. I do that as well.
Matt out.

New Card Scans
So, it’s been a couple weeks since I talked about baseball cards and I had a few spare minutes this weekend while the kiddo was taking a nap, so I busted out the scanner and gathered up what I had purchased over the past couple weeks.
