Where Will the Best Black Friday Deals Be?

I don't remember Black Friday being such a known event when I was younger, but now it's basically the new holiday between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Years back I think it was simply known as "the worst shopping day of the year."  Stores are battling to get the most crazed stampede of shoppers from their competition, to the point where this year the traditional 5 A.M. start time is being ignored by many stores and now it's a battle to see who can start the earliest.

My question is, who has the deals that are worth getting stampeded for.  I've seen Walmart and Best Buy offering some of the newer end video games for PS3 and Xbox 360 for half price at 30 bucks, with Walmart starting the 30 dollar game sale at midnight.  I've also seen a couple of Nintendo Wii and DS deals going around that seem like winners if your in the market for games.  I was sort of waiting to see Amazon.com's usual Black Friday voting deals that they've done in recent years that allows you to vote on 1 of 3 offers every round, and the winning offer is offered to SOME of the people that voted.  The deals were great, although I never got the chance to buy anything I voted for.  This year they seem to have replaced the voting rounds with Black Friday Deals Week, which is Black Friday offers every day this week, with new deals popping up about every hour.  It's been kind of hard to keep up with, but it is possible to find a good Amazon deal on it.

Other than that, I'm seeing 5 and 10 dollar DVD's (for people that don't realize stores are trying to get rid of them to make more room for Blu Ray's) at most stores, and of course a ton of cameras, TV's, and other electronics and big ticket items are being pushed hard.  Pretty much every story is discounting their stuff, but hardly any that I see are really "can't miss, worth getting trampled for" deals.  I'm not saying they're not out there, but I'm wondering if they are.  So what mega deals have you seen?  What am I missing?  And what is worth getting trampled for?  Share in comments and I may add any mega deals you have found to this post.

The L.A. Noire Trailer Looks Bad Ass

L.A. Noire will be the next big game from Rockstar it looks like, and this is a game that has actually been in the works for years apparently.  After many push backs and release date changes, we finally get the first look via this trailer, and I am already interested in this game in a major way.  Looks like we have some old school gangster action here ala Dick Tracy.  Now of course I"m a huge fan of the classic 1990 Dick Tracy movie, and this game seems like it will be from the same era but of course with more realism and less over the top and colorful.  The video game season is looking better than ever, with of course Call of Duty: Black Ops is ruling the video game world right now and that will have millions of people playing for a long time to come, but it's great to know we have a ton more great games on the way, and L.A. Noire definitely looks like a game that has been worth the wait judging by this trailer:

Call of Duty Black Ops Noob Tube? I Hope Not.

I have been a big fan of the Call Of Duty series for a long time. But my love kinda died out with Modern Warfare 2. Don't get me wrong, the game itself is great, one of the best game series of all time I would say. But what turned me off the most, was the damn noob tubin. Now for those who aren't giant lazy nerds like myself, a noob tube is a player who doesn't have much first person shooting skill, so instead they use the grenade launcher attachment on the guns to just shoot all the players with grenades to kill them. Now the occasional player like this was ok, understandable to a point. But it got to where there would be an entire team of these type of players, making online play almost impossible.

Now, I am what people call, a "camper". Which is a stupid thing to complain about. Camping is, pretty much what a real sniper would really do. Sit in one spot, wait, and kill you when you come by. How is running out into the middle of the field being smart at all? Camping is just, winning. So I don't really get killed that often by these noob tubin kids. But it does make running to certain spots almost like trying to get through an earthquake. Because if they're not launching grenades all over, theyre throwing out the flash bangs. Over, and over, and over.

In Modern Warfare 2, this was a huge annoyance, to the point that I just stopped playing. But Black Ops I have high hopes for. Black Ops is made by Treyarch, and they did not make Modern Warfare 2, but they are the ones who made World At War. Which is slightly better than Modern Warfare 2 in my opinion. And the online play for World At War, there wasn't much grenade madness going on. So hopefully this is the same with Black Ops. I guess I will find out this Tuesday!

Jessica Alba Naked Pics Leaked - We ALL Care

Looks like the news of the day is that the stuck up, very private, "I'll never get naked in anything EVER" Jessica Alba has finally been b-u-s-t-e-d.  Yep it's true, the holier than thou Jessica Alba takes dirty pics with her cell phone just like other girls.  No word on how these pics leaked, but if they were stolen it was probably due to Jessica pissing people off by never showing the goods in her movies.  Recently the word was that Ms. Alba would be appearing "nude" in the recent move "Machete," and we say "nude" because it was a naked shower scene which was shot from the side so we really didn't see the good parts.  THEN come to find out, Jessica wasn't naked at all, and the scene used CGI to digitally remove her clothes.  So first she tells us she'll never do nudity in a movie, THEN uses body doubles in movies, and finally  just uses fake computer nudity.  So apparently enough was enough, and now we have real Jessica Alba boob pics that were probably meant to be private, oh well.

Of course there is the other scenario, where Jessica realizes that people are going to stop giving a shit about her unless she shows us something, so these boob pictures "accidentally leak" on the Internet, and suddenly everyone is buzzing.  These pics are from when she was pregnant or just after having her kid, so they're not the super sexy glamorous Alba pics all of you have fantasized about, but it's Alba, it's her boobs, so we have to be happy.  Check out the full story on the revelation that Jessica Alba takes topless cell phone pics too.

Lil Wayne Released from Jail....Who Cares!?

OK apparently a ton of people care, because the news is all over the place, and MTV feels the need to break into its programming to keep on letting us know that Lil Wayne is free from jail AS OF 8:35 THIS MORNING!  Keep in mind the guy has spent 8 months in jail for a gun charge, not being held captive in a far off country.  Every time I've heard about Lil Wayne lately, I hear all these people in the industry awaiting his return like a war hero or messiah.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not a "rap hater" or "racist" or anything of the sort.  I see Wayne's talent which is why everyone wants to work with him, but why is he getting a hero's welcome when he's coming out of jail for yet another screw up.  Drug charges, weapon charges, what a hero!

How about some people toning shit down a bit and making Wayne prove himself  this time around before he disappoints his fans once again.  I guess everyone who is partying and rejoicing over Wayne's release believe people shouldn't be arrested on gun charges, or maybe celebrities should get a free pass.  Frankly I think it's ridiculous and people need to get a life, other artists included.  I can already see it now, when he gets arrested again it will be "AWW poor Lil Wayne" all over again. 

So this will be a new feature here that will cover stories like this that you cannot help but avoid, and that annoy the shit out of me to the point of ranting on them.  There are plenty of them out there, and before anyone says "well why are you watching?".......get real people, this is the bullshit we get thrown in our faces on a daily basis, and it's going to take one good Jerk to step up and say........WHO CARES?
