This Week in Review - Feb 9-16

I'm quite aware that I have neglected this for the past couple of weeks, it's been a wild ride juggling the things that life throws out you with school, work, and preparing for the future being a senior in high school. There hasn't been much gaming to go with that at all either so I don't have to much to talk about there, but hey the Olympics in Sochi are in full swing!

Grand Theft Auto 5 and Online received a new valentines day update that definitely went on the make the day what it was. Granted, it added a new 1920's prohibition era' Tommy gun into the mix and a new car, it was just enough to save the day for the lonely hearts here in the U.S. This also added 10 new online jobs that I've hardly dabbled into, but from what I experienced I liked what I saw and had a good time with it.

We're coming up on about the week or so mark for the launch of the WWE Network, for which in my mind, almost kills Netflix for me. At least for now, since I don't have any shows that I've really invested in lately. I've been reading that there even going to air the Hall of Fame ceremony live on the Network the night before 'Mania. This just keeps getting better.

I read about a new interview with Paul Stanley regarding the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He's seemed to change his tone slightly, but as expected he didn't dish on any plans really, but honestly I feel like they have something up there sleeve if they are focusing that much on "making the fans happy." He said he wasn't honored whatsoever to be included in the Rock Hall, and it isn't important to him. He says they have no credibility and the only reason they have made it to where they are now is because of their name, and that it's just a private group of voters in a self-appointed board. I can't help but agree with what he's saying here. I can't even take them seriously, but it's cool to see fan-campaigning really come into fruition and give these guys the recognition they deserve, which they should have received so long ago.

That's really all I have, I just felt like I needed to update with something, because it's been a while. I hope the new "giffed out" format isn't too cheesy or gimmicky, just wanted to do something a little different, hopefully make the day go a little better for whoever's reading this. In closing, I unfortunately don't have any crazy off-the-wall PS4 game footage this week. Shame on me, but hey AC/DC and Van Halen pretty much confirmed they are working on new music and tours. Not even going to bother speculating on a time frame or anything but one things for sure is that AC/DC wants to do shows again. It's been about 4-5 years so maybe Angus Young needs to pay off his 40,000+ sq. feet house that he bought in Sydney, Australia after the Black Ice tour. Either way, it's a win for rock fans!
