New Trends in Media Before Holiday Season

11 Nov

It’s been over a year since I last blogged, so I figured why not start back up again! I love this time of year, when Fall weather kicks in and the holidays are slowly approaching (well, rather quickly since B101 is already playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving.) I always get excited when something new comes out before the holidays, lately it’s just video games and movies.

One in particular being “Call of Duty: Black Ops.” Now, if your friends, relatives or boyfriend owns this game, be prepared to not communicate with them for awhile for they will be communicating with other Black Ops feigns on Xbox Live. What’s so great about Black Ops? I’d rather play NHL 11, maybe because I’m not down for all the blood killing war-type games. Or maybe because I’m just into sports..okay now I am off topic.

Apple recently launched a new version of the Macbook Air.  It seems like the Apple company never fails to launch a new non-conflict free product before the holiday season.

Another pre-holiday trend are movies, especially the Twilight series (all but Eclipse released in theaters before the holidays), but this year Harry Potter steals the spotlight with part one of “Deathly Hollows.” For all of you raging wizard fans out there, you will not want to miss it. Unfortunately, my Harry Potter craze dwindled down as I approached high school, but I know a lot of young adults who will be decked out in their Hogwarts gear for the premiere showing.

Next time I will blog about late Fall fashion trends, what’s in and what needs to be out! For media trends here’s what I think..

Gadget that’s good: Kinect for Xbox 360. How ironic, I was just mentioning Black Ops and NHL 11…Kinect for Xbox 360 allows you to be the controller (I swear, this whole techonology into the future is getting a little out of hand..get it? No hands on the controller?..Okay I’m done.) Goodbye Wii, looks like you’ve got yourself some competition.

Gadget that needs to go: Gameboy. Now I don’t mean to be a hater, when I was a youngin’ Gameboy was the way to go. This isn’t the “Weird Science” era anymore, times are changing and you need to follow along with the newest technology trends. But if you still keep one of these in your room, closet or in your man cave please do us all a favor and recycle it and buy yourself a Playstation or something.
