Dancing with the Calgary Stars

posted on March 9th, 2010 - Filed in Breakfast Television - 1 comment »

I said “yes” to a little friendly competition 2 months ago and now we’re down to the wire!  Some local media personalities are performing in a “Dancing with the Stars” showcase as a fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.  Consider yourself invited to watch us all make fools of ourselves on the dance floor!

It’s been a blast training at Arthur Murray Dance Studios.  The big show goes down Saturday March 20th.  Tix are $40 for the party or $125 if you want to do it up swanky and get dinner too!  Call 403-319-0732 or click here for all the dets.

Check out the dress I’m borrowing from a pro ballroom competitor.  No it doesn’t fit yet.  I have 11 days to smash into it.  I’m dancing the Cha Cha and hope nothing will fly out the front.  Hopefully my dance partner will not split his pants.  He has to catch me and has ripped two pairs already.

Phoenix from 97.7 is performing a Pasa Doble – Trista his partner is *unbelievable*.  I crashed his rehearsal the other day and they look really good.

If you recognize the other media personality, you’re watching the wrong morning show ;)

Come support a great cause!  *And* come cheer me on – I really want to win the mirror ball trophy!

Review: Final Fantasy XIII – Xbox 360, PS3

posted on March 9th, 2010 - Filed in Gadget Guy, Reviews, Video Game - No comments »

It sure has been a long time (seven years, in fact) since we last saw a standalone Final Fantasy title. It’s hard to believe Final Fantasy X-2 was released way back in 2003. Yes, a lot of time has passed and Square Enix has been busy working on the 13th installment of the franchise ever since.

There’s no denying the Final Fantasy series has been good to Square Enix. More than 92 million copies of the franchise have shipped worldwide. Those who fell in love with the series have followed it through, and it continues to pick up new fans along the way. Which could very well be why there is so much excitement over this title.

Square Enix has a history of producing quality, lengthy, intense role playing games but can a company justify spending 7 years producing a title? While series fanatics will fall head over heals in love, newer fans will question a few aspects of the game.

This video for This To Shall Pass took 60 attempts to get it right with a team of 20 engineers standing nearby. Worth it in the end! Take a look.

EMPIRE_AVENUE

Empire Avenue is a new online stock trading game which incorporates social media. The big difference is you don’t trade stocks in companies, rather people. I’ve spent the last week playing around with it, and it’s quite fun! Right now it’s in closed beta as the creators work through the bugs, but I have 10 invites to give out if you just can’t wait for it to become public. Leave a comment below. First 10 people will get one! Good Luck!

Oh, the only catch is you have to invest in me ;)

Kidding!

No, not really.
