Nintendo DS Redesign? 2007-11-15 00:25:00 Apparently there has been some information that Nintendo is almost finished with another console in the DS line. Not much more than a year and a half ago the Nintendo DS Lite was released. Having plans for another model so fast seems odd to me. Supposedly the new version will be slimmer with no GBA port, have on-board memory, and have larger screens. Though, the new version may not come out till sales dwindle, it raises the question why so early. I mean, if I got a DS Lite not too long ago I wouldn't be too happy to hear that a newer DS will be hitting shelves in the near future. This will definitely change my mind about think of buying a DS Lite, I'll just wait it out. Hello DS Ultra-Lite :)Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

Cool Video of the Week #20 - Cal Marching Band 2007-11-14 18:41:00 This is pure awesomeness. The Cal marching band plays their video game half time show. And it ROCKS. Games include (In order of appearance): Tetris, Mortal Kombat, Pokemon, Zelda, Mario, and other stuff I think. A great watch, ENJOY :)Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

Odd Media Player 2007-11-14 00:27:00 With all the iPods, Zunes, Sandisks, and Samsungs in the world, you would think many people would not want to get into the market. But out of nowhere a company called Haier have released a portable media device alongside AOL. The Ibiza Rhapsody actually looks to be a pretty feature filled device. The main one being that no PC is required, you can sync and download all your songs and videos via it's WiFi connection. AOL and Rhapsody have gotten in on the device by enabling Rhapsody-To-Go, and the AOL video download services. It also has an FM tuner, and supports many media formats. There are 3 models, a 30GB for ~$320, and a 4GB/8GB flash model for ~$229-$250 at Amazon. Oh and did I mention I think it looks terrible? I mean, it can't be easy to use.Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

Android Screenshots 2007-11-12 21:51:00 Googles new mobile OS user interface pictures have surfaced, I'm really liking it. So far what I've seen, it has a nice black touch to it. The menu system is cool, there is a little (Mac dock like) scroll bar at the bottom where you can scroll through different options. It has the basics of a mobile OS. The browser is pretty cool in that it seems easy to use, and not a pain. The maps application looked cool. But I thought the coolest part about Android, and the phones it was on, is the 3D capabilities. I saw a video of a touch screen phone running Quake, which was pretty awesome. If it comes out within the next year, I might have to get myself an Android phone. Full gallery can be found here.Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

WiiMote Finger 2007-11-12 01:36:00 This is pretty cool. This guy over at Carnegie University figured out a way to use his finger instead of the WiiMote. He rigged up some infra red LEDs, and put a little piece of tape on his finger. I would assume you can only do motion, but it's still pretty cool. (If you can't see the video, just click the post title and it should work there.)Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

Accordion Hero II 2007-11-11 19:02:00 Yeah, I'm pretty sure this a joke(correct me if I'm wrong), but apparently a company has created a PC game entitled Accordion Hero. It's obviously a rip-off of the Guitar Hero games. It supposedly comes with what you would expect, a plastic accordion with little collored buttons. And, of course there is a sequel that was recently "released". Accordion Hero II comes with a more advanced accordion that they call the Strumpf Blue double-bellows accordion. It's actually very well done, and I would give them a good high five for pulling this off. Good stuff.Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

Hellgate: London 2007-11-11 00:58:00 Whoo. I just purchased a copy of the Hellgate: London Collectors Edition today. I have yet to play it much, I'm maybe an hour into it. I'd say it's pretty fun. I started with the Marksman class, where you play like an FPS rather than an RPG. I will probably review it later in the week. But now it's time to play the thing.Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Review 2007-11-09 19:24:00 Here is the second review of my new Nintendo DS Games. This saga in the Legend of Zelda series continues the storyline og the Windwaker game for the Gamecube. You are Link (or whatever your characters name is) and your friend has just been captured by the Ghost Ship. You must go through the Temple of the Ocean King with your phantom hourglass to look for pieces of a seachart, and little fairies, to save your friend. This game is really great. It might be one of the best games for the DS. The controls are the greatest part in my opinion. It is all touch screen based. You walk by pointing where you want to go, you grab things by tapping them, you draw the path of your boomerang, as well as slashing to slash your sword, and drawing a circle to do a roll. Very innovative stuff. All in a seamless, intuitive package. The world you are in is very large, with around 20 islands I would guess. Another really cool thing about the game is your ship. You travel island to island on what looks like a ...

Nintendo DS TV Tuner 2007-11-08 17:37:00 This has been in the works for a while, and in Japan it's either released, or going to release soon, I forget. Anyways, this is a little cartridge, like any old DS game, that would allow you to actually watch TV from your DS. From what I remember a while back it would have a little antena that sticks out from the cartridge. Heres a video I came across. It is I think one of the first actual videos of the TV tuner watching TV. Enjoy :)Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...

PS3 Firmware Release 2007-11-08 00:32:00 I thought this was kind of cool. The new v2.00 PS3 firmware was released earlier. This update provides PS3 users with a couple of cool features. One is the addition of customized themes, which I thought those that I saw were pretty cool. Another is the ability to remotely turn on your system via a PSP. Not too big of an update though, so if this is part of Sony's effort to improve sales...it most likely will not work.Thank you for subscribing to my blog! ...
