Thanksgiving Day Parade

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This special blog post is about the Macy's Day Parade. It occurs in NYC every Thanksgiving where you can see fabulous performers, floats and large balloons! But you really don't know how hard everyone works for this special preparation. The marching band walks two and a half miles, while playing their instruments.The different balloons are made out of Styrofoam and is carved by hand. Making all the balloons takes a year round effort. Then, the carved Styrofoam is coated by a product called hardcoat, which is a flame retarded plastic which creates a hard shell. But before they made the real copies, the creators of the balloons made a clay model of the character that would appear in the Macy's Day Parade. And then, after the model, they would have to create the larger versions. They used cloth for the balloons and then painted them to match the character. That is not all for the amazing Thanksgiving Parade. There are a lot of musicals and performers such as the Rockettes that have to do practice after practice to get perfection when it's time for them to perform. The amount of work that is put into the Thanksgiving Parade is immense! Are you ready?
3..., 2..., 1..., LET'S HAVE A PARADE!

The 3dsXL

You have seen many kinds of Nintendo Ds's from the past years. They have thought of everything from gameboy game inserts, a camera and then apps. Now, enjoy your favorite games in 3D! Not only in regular size, but in XL form!
Here are some reasons it is way better than the 3Ds:
 

1. Longer battery life

2. Buttons and Circle Pad are bigger and thicker

3. New Displays Cut Glare Significantly

4. Larger Displays Mean Better 3D

Okay, time for price. The listing price is about $200.00. It has a pretty good market value. This is the price for only the DS, not the games. It is $30.00 over the 3DS. I would personally spend that $30.00 because for longer game time, bigger screens, more updates and better buttons. So if you are interested, don't wait any longer, get your new 3DSXL today! ( It is also a good Christmas gift )

 

The Awsome Ps3

  
Welcome back to The Asian Squad! This month is all about gaming devices. To all my readers, I would like to apologize since I have not been blogging because of terrible Hurricane Sandy for probably a week. So this blog post is all about the Ps3. A ps3 has programs such as apps where you can download many demo's or games. You also have netflix and a place where you could put your pictures or videos from your camera! In addition, they put a cool app called Playstation Life (if I am correct) where you could design you own character and play around with it just like your own life.                                                                    
Okay, let's talk price. It is currently listed at $200.00 to about $220.00 in Gamestop including tax. It is also in Walkmart for about $250.00 including tax. In some other places you could get them for about 350.00 so.. If you would like a cheaper one, go ahead and get a slightly used one for a good amount of money. It seems Sony isn't yet able to bring down the price of the PS3.
