I tried so hard but the temptation was too great to handle.  After much personal turmoil and soul searching, I finally gave in to my evil desires.  Yes, I bought another laptop! The Gateway P-7801u is far from an ordinary laptop.  It’s a behemoth for gamers on the road.  Thanks to my speedy purchase at NewEgg.com, I [...]

I am not impressed!  The leaked ads for Black Friday have been very disappointing so far.  Compared to last year, a majority of the highly vaunted door crashers are not worth picking up.  Since I shop online all the time, a better price can be found with popular marketplaces, like eBay or TigerDirect.  Plus, their prices [...]

Low and Behold!  “Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3″ has finally been released for the PC and Xbox 360!  As a quirky counterpart to C&C: Tiberian series, Red Alert 3 brings an added dose of over-the-top humor to a well packaged game.  Even though I’m only a couple hours into the single player campaign, its been [...]

Amid much fanfare and marketing hype, Far Cry 2 (FC 2) was a highly anticipated game for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.  Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the free person shooter (FPS) was heralded as a next generation title, where players are given the liberty to explore a fictitious African nation and 50 square kilometers [...]

It’s that time of the year again!  For inquiring minds who want to know, I am now making plans for Black Friday 2008.  This means another night of freezing my ass off in line.  Nevertheless, the long wait is definitely worth it.  During 2006 & 2007, I was able to survive rowdy crowds (and my sanity) in [...]

After more than a week of downtime, LemuelJopio.com is back up!  I personally blame Crysis: Warhead and Far Cry 2 for causing so much problems.

Yes, it’s been a while since my last post.  Apart from playing videogames, a large portion of my time is spent preparing for the upcoming Christmas shopping season.  I’m expecting another hectic month of December; a non-stop flurry of activity and, of course, sales!!! Since a majority of my business transactions involve U.S. dollars, the recent fall of our Canadian dollar [...]

Express your love for retro gaming by picking up a Space Invaders Invaders Portable Rubber Keyboard. Oh, one more thing, it costs a whopping forty bucks! Yes, 40 smackeroos for a bendable keyboard that commonly sells for less than 10 bucks without the fancy ailen print. Neverthless, I still want one! Time to [...]

It was bound to happen sooner or later.  My computer needed an upgrade to play the latest games!!!  As an avid gamer, replacing hardware is a yearly ritual that brings out a sense of anticipation and excitement.  Since most of the new games are taking advantage of the DirectX 10 platform, a powerful video card is necessary for high frame rates with the ability to [...]

I’ve been playing video games since the early 1980’s.  And yes, my eyes are pretty much wasted due to the countless hours in front of the TV.  I’ve also had the pleasure of owning an Atari 2600 back in the day.  Can you imagine playing modern day games, such as “Call of Duty 4″ or “Grand Theft [...]
