My Time with Windows Phone

For my birthday last year, I was lucky enough to receive a new Windows Phone.  Specifically, the Samsung Focus.  It is my first smart phone, and from day one I have loved it.  Being new to something like this, I didn't realize what it was missing.  Many of my observations are that of a first timer.  That tells me that these problems shouldn't exist for a product that was released in a, at least, four year old market. Copy and Paste:   It's not something that I'm beating the door down for, but it is a feature I would make use of.  Especially when using such apps as Twitter, Facebook, and Blogger.  I can't quickly copy a link or url and throw it up somewhere else. Marketplace Search:   Searching for something in the Windows Phone marketplace is a nightmare.  You'll type in a search term, after specifying what part of the market you want to search (ie, Social, tools, music, etc.) and search returns EVERYTHING related to that term.  That leaves me to scroll thro

Marvel vs Capcom 3 DLC announced

Capcom has a toubling history when it comes to DLC. From the Street Fighter IV extra colors fiasco to the Resident Evil 5 versus mode, fans have been pissed at the way this giant handles their add ons. Capcom has just announce the first costume pack for MvC3, which breaks down as: Thor: Classic Jack Kirby costume Iron Man: Iron Patriot Captain America: Steve Rogers Dante: Sparta (human form) Chris Redfield: Resident Evil 1 Ryu: Street Fighter 1 Kotaku has the pictures up here . Add to that, those that purchased the special edition for the bonus characters Jill and Shuma will not be able to use them until they become available for download March 15. The first batch of DLC drops March 1 for $5 on PSN or 400 Microsoft Points on XBL.

X-Men: First Class trailer

This is a move I didn't see coming, a story about the foundation of the X-Men, the lives of Magneto and Professor X, There is so much potential for this movie and so far it doesn't look like it will disappoint. I can only wonder if it is a reboot or just a prequel.  I see characters such as Emma Frost, Beast, and what looks like Nightcrawler.  This is something that would clash with the previous trilogy and it seems too soon for a reboot. But I suppose if Marvel is already rebooting the Spider-Man franchise, why not X-Men? Either way, I'm pumped. Edit: Pardon the video being at odds with the site.  IE9 and Blogger don't play well together.
