We all have that little item, weather its edible or otherwise that we can never stay away from. We've all tried to break the habit, weather it was forced or self inflicted, but that time away only made our addiction to that item stronger.

The name of evil for me is beef Jerky. I can never get enough of that dried meat. I don't care if its original, BBQ, or any other flavor, I'll eat any type of jerky. I personaly like Elk Jerky more than any other type, but deer is right under Elk.

I must say this addiction came from when I was very little. From the first taste of peppered jerky. My ever growing love for Jerky was strengthened from a small product. It was a bunch of sliced jerky pieces. From there I can thank my father for making it worse. I had my first taste of both elk and deer jerky because of him. He had friends who were hunters, and they turned their kills into Elk Jerky.

He also took us to a Yearly Gun show. There was lots of stuff in those shows. There was of course guns, but a lot of the space was also reserved for collectible stuff, like matchbox cars, air-blown glass, and many other things such as those. One of the stands there was for Deer Jerky. That was the one stand I looked forward to.

Now, all I'm able to get is the prepackaged store bought Its alright, but it does not beat the fresher stuff, nothing is ever better than a fresh version.

On a a gaming note:

I've been playing a few different games recently.

The first being Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii. The controls work well, while sometimes it can be a huge burden. Being able to aim helps a lot, but when trying for a precise shot, having unstable hands can be a huge disadvantage.

The Graphics them selves are not bad, better than other games. The dark atmosphere fits the game.

The music also mixes with the flow very well. Many of the fans will recognize many familiar tunes from LoZ: OoT

Over all I would suggest this game to fans of both action games, and Zelda fans alike.

The Second game I've been playing a lot is kart Rider for the PC. This is a new game, which plays in the style of Mario Kart. You race others in a kart.

Gameplay: You race around in your choice of kart against many others from around the world. In Item mode you collect items from many parts of the track and use it to aid yourself, or hinder your foes. In Speed mode you race using only your power to drift, and the nitros you generate from drifting. You can play either mode as a free for all, or as a team match, with up to eight players

Items: Right now there is a slim selection. You can buy 1 kart, 2 different drivers, and many different pain jobs, but considering the stage of development it's in one must just bypass this for now.

The music is rather annoying, but it fits the cute graphics.

As stated above the graphics are somewhat cutesy, but not much you can do about it.

This game was released May 1, 2007, and it shall end its closed beta testing May, 30, 2007. Its unknown if characters will be wiped, but overall you will only be losing minor experiance, and the items you bought, but over all all that matters is knowing the controls, and knowing how to use them best. If you can gain control on the simple control scheme.

Overall: Sure its in Closed beta, but it gives you time to mingle with the community, and learn how to do the advanced moves. For being around 150 MBs, it won't be for everyone, but if you have been feeling the need for speed, download this title now.

The last game on my list is Pokemon Diamond (and Pearl). Many people already know of this series. You go around capturing many different monsters, while beating other trainers. You fight to make your pokemon grow, so you can be number 1.

What makes this game much better than the other games is the fact you can connect with others over the world using Wifi. For those that don't register friend codes with others you have the option of the GTS (global trade center) where you can leave a pokemon for something you want, then check back to see if someone traded the pokemon you wanted at a later date, or search for a pokemon you want and trade using one of your pokemon. With friend codes, you can battle and also trade with others. Other than that fact its the same old game, with new moves, new pokemon, and updated graphics.

If your a fan of this series you most likely already had plans on buying this game, but if you have been wanting a pokemon game without needing to know people to trade, this is your pokemon game.
