M.S.U. Football Season Schedule 09/10

With the college football season kicking off this weekend, I thought I’d post M.S.U.’s schedule for the season 2009 – 2010. (.ics format)

*UPDATE* GO GREEN ! GO WHITE !

With Alan Wake scheduled to be released in Q2 2010, you may be wondering what became of Alan Wake.

This picture was taken in Wendy’s in East Lansing. Even videogame characters need to make a living.

BMobile data settings for iPhone

If you’re an iPhone user and you’re local to Trinidad and Tobago, I found the following settings useful for allowing my iPhone to connect with my B-Mobile Edge data plan (Yes, you read that correctly, Edge, not 3G, but that’s another post by itself).

Go to Settings >> Network >> Cellular Network Data.

Enter the following values:

  • APN: internet
  • Username: LEAVE BLANK
  • Password: LEAVE BLANK

It’s as simple as that. You’re iPhone should be connected to Trinidad and Tobago’s incredibly fast Edge network.

For more information, check out B-Mobile’s site.

*Note* These settings are for B-Mobile services in the British Virgin Islands but the settings work accurately on the iPhone in Trinidad.

October 1st is coming, Gran Turismo PSP is upon us

After YEARS of speculation, claims of vaporware and talks that it wouldn’t be available until Gran Turismo 5 is released, Gran Turismo PSP is upon us. Honestly, this is the only reason that I bought my PSP. I’ve played some incredible games on the PSP since then (including FIFA 09, Tekken 5, Lumines, Loco Roco, God of War and Patapon…to name but a few) but GT is the reason I own a PSP. A handheld version of one of the greatest driving games of my generation? Gran Turismo PSP is a Day-1 buy for me.

Even better than just releasing the game, Sony has provided incentives for those who choose to pre-order the racing title. If you pre-order, you’ll receive a voucher to unlock one of five top of the line cars in the game.

Pre-order and can choose from:

  • 2009 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 (black)
  • 2002 Enzo Ferrari (Giallo Modena….yes, that’s yellow)
  • 2008 GTbyCitroen (in yellow)
  • 2009 Nissan GT-R Spec V (metallic blue)
  • 1974 Lamborghini Countach LP400 (Arancio…orange)

This pre-order bonus seems to be for those who pre-order the UMD. The Playstation article indicates that those who download the game via PSN will also receive some sort of bonus (although it has not been specified yet).

Personally, I’ll be downloading the Bugatti. So happy driving, October 1st can’t come soon enough!
