The ScooterBlog

… and you thought the whole “Ford F-150″ being driven by everyone in the show “24″ was bad!

It’s not that this is a new thing, but apparently, it’s going to go mainstream, as a bunch of companies have signed on to have their name plastered “tastefully” inside games. I’m sure it will be the same as, say, movie or TV product placement, but I wonder if, like the advertisement shown in the Joystiq blog entry, if it will ever go down like that. Everything else is commercialized, I guess this was the final video game straw.

For those of you whom read my deviant chat about the store I work at and enjoy greatly, Game Junkie, I have a new address for that site:

http://www.gamejunkie.com/blogs/scooter/

If you have not seen it but come to the game store, stop there, comment, and enjoy it!

Yes, this is different then it was 10 minutes ago. Adam has a blog too and he’s making a portal page, and this makes it more organized

And more specifically two jobs, make sure you take zero exceptions on the tax forms, and maybe even specify for them to take some extra out of each paycheck for taxes.

Reason being, if each job takes taxes out like it is yout only source of income, then neither job will take out enough when you get bumped into higher tax brackets, meaning you have to pay.

Sadly, I have to this year, and a bunch too! So much for extra spending cash on good games right now, bleh.

I’m happy to let everyone know that I’ve upgraded from the original blogspot hosting that you get for free, and moved the site over to gamejunkie.com! The new address is as follows:

http://www.gamejunkie.com/blogs/scooter/

The old address still works, but I am unsure if it will receive future updates.

I will be posting more here, as well as more then just store updates, now that it’s listed under my own name and the site itself, this will branch out a little bit too.

So please comment, please check it out, and enjoy!
