That's right. Finally, I logged in to the PS Store and it is there! Downloading as we speak. To give you guys an idea how big the beta file will be, here is a screenshot:

Whew! Just got back from Vacation.

It has been a while since I posted something. Recently, I went to vacation for a couple of weeks. Anyways, I am excited for the Battlefield 3 beta coming up on 27th September. It will be 29th for the rest of the players who has not pre-ordered the game or bought the MoH last year. I have been waiting for so long for this game.

Also, I have purchased the 7.1 official PS3 headset. So far, I am very satisfied with it. It does not feel cheap at all. It has a metallic headband and a very comfortable headphones. I am not sure if they are 100% leather but they smell nice.

The headset works really well with the games I have been playing. Saves my life several times when playing online. The battery life depends on how  you use it. If you keep the volume up, the battery will drain faster. The good thing about it is that you can plug it in on your PC or laptop and it will charge. You can also use the headset while gaming on your PC.

The headset is about 100$. Well worth the price.

I will update soon with Battlefield beta in about three days.

Dark Souls Shield Design Contest

Hey Demon Souls fans who are looking forward for Dark Souls, there is a contest right now in regards to shield design. Here is my entry:

Link to vote for this entry : http://darksouls.fb-apps.namcobandaigames.eu/medias/502676446/thumbnails/502676446_1_x147_y184.jpg

I call this the Omega shield. I accidentally made an omega sign with letter R.

I am not sure what I are my chances to winning this competition. I think the gallery will open once the design competition design is done. Can't wait for other entries.

This shield is designed with minimalistic approach. I had fun designing the shield myself. I am a huge fan of RPG games. It took me about 2 hours to play around with this sheild lol. Made a doodle yesterday and it does not look right. I have two more entries to go.

If you see my shield in the gallery, please vote! I call it the Omega shield. I know - it is such a corny name lol.
