Red Dead Redemption on PS3

 

I have to admit I was quite sceptical to testing out the game Red Dead Redemption on our new PS3 in the beginning. I hate shooting games, and I hate movies and games about the Wild West, so a shooting game from the Wild West was really not tempting at all. Oh boy, was I wrong!!!

After almost driving hubby crazy with hours of playing Buzz; both alone, with friends and online, I realised it was time to let him decide a game also. To my horror he decided to test out the shabby-looking cowboy from the Wild West. I started planning which excuses I could use to get away from the game, and do something else. Clean the house, iron clothes, anything would be better than a shooting game from the Wild West, I thought... But that was before we started playing!

PlayStation 3 + Projector = Happy Holidays!

 

Hubby got a PlayStation 3 160 GB for Christmas, so little blogging lately... ;) Connected it to our Epson Home Cinema HD Projector, and life will never be the same again!!! Too bad we can't get paid to play games... ;) So far our favorite game is without a doubt Red Dead Redemption.

Other favorite games are Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Final Fantasy XIII and Buzz. But we still have more games that we haven't had time to try yet, like God of War III. There's just not enough hours in the day! ;)

Fun quotes and facts about Bear Grylls

 

Zapping through the channels and suddenly finding Bear Grylls is like driving on a road and seeing a traffic accident. You don't want to look because you are afraid of the horrible things you might see, but somehow it mesmerizes you and you just can't take your eyes away. No matter how disgusting it is.

He always have to go the most dangerous place, with the most dangerous animals and do the most dangerous things that would kill a normal person for sure. And everytime he says; "But I am going to do something even more dangerous than that!" Argh...

But I have to admit that he have some great quotes sometimes.

Photo of the Day - Landing on Sint Maarten

 

Incoming airplanes approach the island of Sint Maarten/St Martin on short final for Runway 10, following a 3° glide slope flying low over the famous Maho Beach. Pictures of low flying aircraft were published in several news magazines worldwide in early 2000. The thrilling approaches and ease of access for shooting spectacular images, made the airport one of the world's favorite places among planespotters.
