Look at the happy people playing PS3



Anyone else notice that they seem to be trying to smile. It is really weird trying to find a good thing for this system. It has 4 players finally, it has a lot more space for games. And it is the next coffee table. My opinion is for the Wii of course. But it seems this bit of advertising is trying to mimic the Wii advertising, but isn't working.
Watching a model trying to look cool while playing, and then suddenly give in because he is having to much fun, as compared to the PS3 having a model try to seem cool and like he is having fun, and not really having fun. Kind of odd.

The color of Games


It is true Quake had a fairly greay and brown motif. It worked pretty well for that game. So why is it that so many games are Grey and Brown now? This is especially odd since the new games can allow so many more colors, but are still just using Grey and Brown.
Joystiq has pointed out that Nintendo makes sure to use as many colors as possible. So it is an interesting thing.
I guess what is happening is that these companies want to seem dark and gritty. Because of this they slowly become the same game, even if it is Halo and Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

Free Sidescroller game

This wouldn't be to big, but it is adjustable. And people have added every level in mario brothers. And then let Godzilla be the main character. No really, its weird. And worth the download for just that.

Tuan once asked a questions about this

A videogame hooked up to a excercise machine. Now that I see this idea, I can think of several other cool ideas for workout videogames.

61 for an Oscar

And most of these countries would be willing to commit assasinations. This should be some kind of videogame or movie in and of itself.

Take off and landing




Several times in this video, the camera takes off and goes back to the planet. The game this is going to will take up about 5 GB, but it will be seamless between worlds. Amazing huh?



Combat simulation for a game. It seems to have a very small amount of people making it. And the people making it are doing it for free at the moment. A space MMO that lets planets be as big as they should be.

Interview with Dave Barry being Serious

To be honest, this is one of the most intelligent interviews I have ever read. Dave gives some amazing comments and reasons why he does things. And The interviewer simply lets him speak.
This is the first time I have read an interview with an Independent -technically a Liberterian- that is not trying to make the world into a really weird utopia.
This is the first time I have read a comment against Vietnam that made sense.
Dave Barry is such a national treasure. No really, I am that amazed.

Algorythms Rule!!!

The game Spore will be much smaller in size then any game out there. The same game will cover far more then any other game out there. From Protozoa to Alien abduction and everything in between and beyond.
So the question comes up, do we really need all these big disks when it turns out that we could make our programs smaller and better with ease.

Profesor Layton interview

It is a videogame. Originally it was going to be a brain training type game with puzzles. One of the creators has made puzzles his entire life, and is famous for this.
When Brain Training came out they decided to create a game with a story, so as not to compete. A very fun game with a story and puzzles in mind. Sounds fun.

The only problem with some puzzles is that once you learn them, they are not fun anymore. This is why Tetris is so big. It is a coninuosly changing puzzle.

Hip Hop Hoodios




I should point out that this is going to be some over the top humour. There will be an appearence of women with bagels on them selves.

Nerf Sniper Rifle

That could be the begining of the end for the Nerf wars. I mean really, the next one will have to be the Nerf tank and the Nerf Atomic Bomb

Foxtrot Sudoku

I have actually been trying to play this game. Does this make me as big a dork?

I have you now

First Time Machine

Yes, We will

A very bad video



Will the Swedes stop at nothing until they have ruined everything!!

TotoKeke has been in other games

It seems that a certain song has been around for over 10 years. And that it appears in every game the music writer has made.

IT's Chris Rock. You where expecting something else?

It is accurate for white people too.

I must see Copehhagen.... Have I seen copenhagen? I can't remember

They actually think these kids can afford a PS3



They livein apartment complexes yet are the only ones on the roof. Maybe because the rest of the kids are waiting for the Wii. A nice comercial, but it doesn't make sense.

Springfield

I still can't seem to find Moe's Tavern. Just such a big town. This would be a great videogame though.

I already posted this... Who cares

From Average to Beautiful



Doesn't the music sound familiar?

I realize that this is being placed by people who want to seem atractive. But hey cool video anyway.

Ghost Houses

It seems my mother hates scary things. She says that they are evil. Yet she allows Ghost Whisperer to be seen every week.
Why you might ask. Because Ghost Whisperer has a happy ending - even though every religion believes that the woman doing this is probably not talking to the dead. I mean really think about it. A cute little girl is destroying the house she once lived in. And then shows up all happy. It is incredibly stupid to think that this woman is helping anyone by speaking for the dead. Especially if these dead want to terrorize. Not very nice dead I would think. Who would want to talk to those Gits. They torture others until this woman shows up. Then everything ends happily. Yeah right.

And this is the funny part. I watch shows about similar subjects, only they say it is a bad idea. And my mom calls them evil. Which is more evil. A tale saying "This is a really bad idea!" or a show that says, "The Demons just want to be loved!"

Even funnier is that my parents now say that we can't watch The Simpsons, but we can watch a show about a woman talking to Demons. Why can't we watch The Simpsons? They say the show brings a bad influence.

It is an incredible trick really. There are other shows on the same subject. Yet they usually have creepy endings. Because the show has a happy ending, people think it is ok to watch.

There is no imagination. This is not Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings this is a lady who talks to Demons. A big difference. This isn't even Teh Sixth Sense, the only person being bothered by the dead is the little boy. No one else sees or senses them. And the reality is that most are very nice, just cofused. The Ghosts in The Ghost Whisperer purposefully harm peoples lives. They try to scare off, or kill, anyone that gets in there way. There is even one about a guy being tortured by a demon.
The shows end happily so they must be ok. There for I can't watch a scary movie - this means satanism- but I can watch a woman conjuring up the dead and speaking for them.


In other news, I happen to really like Haloween. I have liked it since I was a kid. And the whole scary stuff is part of the fun. So Ghost Houses and such are a lot of fun. I was looking forward to watching some scary movies and talking about Wether or not my old High School is haunted. But I try to stay away from the bad stuff as best I can. So this whole Ghost Whisperer thing is causing a downer.

The Website for the Gunslinger Girl video

By shere coincidence the show is called... Gunslinger Girl. It is about little girls that are also hitmen. Blood and school girls everywhere.
I have to say that this will be recorded as the greatest Anime ever. They will have achieved every goal they ever wanted with this one. So long as there are mechs that is.

Titanic II



I ever talk about my idea for the movie Titanic III. I might get a chance. To be honest this is a pretty good trailer. Well done editing. And some pretty good shots.

I could never do this



Too big in the first place

Be careful with the site itself.

The OBGYN game seems interesting honestly.

Who would make these games though?

Mike Brought his Gun

Every Body needs one of these

Just walking along with one of these babies. Who the heck will mess with me? I mean really, Who? Do they really want to find out what will happen. No need for a gun.

My guess would be 100 feet under

This is huge

We are now that much closer to cellular rebuilding. Think on it this way. LEts say we have something with a lot of mass. You can then take the atoms, rebuild them into another element, and make them form something. Like a wall. Some day a ham sandwich.

All of this will be controlled by computers. These designs will be based on models I built... Or that is the dream anyway.

Conspiracy Theory

This is interesting. A conspiracy theory on the NEWS it self. As in, the members of the press "Wagged the Dog". I think this is a first for someone saying this. I guess this is to be expected since the NEWS is becoming a major political power.
I guess it should be pointed out that fake NEWS is not new. The battle of Wounded Knee had several reporters lying through there teeth on the matter. But that info came from historians, not the people observing the NEWS. Very strange.
Oh yeah, the guy writing this article is a British Tory. So give up any idea on blaming this one on your least beloved party.

Nice Octoids

I think it is both funny and interesting.

This is not Spam

A New York Times journalist found out about free international phone calls. No signup or anything. Pick up the phone you own, dial to the company in Iowa- sorry for that long distance call- and when they ask for the even longer distance number, dial it. Voila! Frei phone call.
This means my family can call quite a few people that need to be called. Like the pizza delivery service in France. Order a pizza for some random stranger. It's not like they will catch on to who did it.
Did I mention that if you act like a real Jerk. The delivery guy will throw in obscenities and other such items.

Punch ME

IT's the name of the freaking game. Keep in mind that I will punch you back if you punch me.

Nintendo Pre-80s

Stuff that Nintendo sold while waiting to become a Videogame giant.

Utah Rappers

Yes, that is a panty shot. Very likely they are all members. Yes that means brownies will be at the table at the concerts.

Noin is nine. I think.
Anyway, my little brother and I found some cool videos of this. So it would be cool to see more.

I didn't really watch this stuff as a kid



But the shere comedy is apparent.

A new thing by google. Now that they control You Tube why shouldn't they run documents as well.

Wii Design

What the creators of the Wii where thinking. I really want to make games for this system.

Buena Vista Social Club

A very good video. I wish I could post the entire thing.

The scenes of Cuba remind me of all of these stories I was told by a family I taught. They where a family that we visited when we worked to hard and needed some water. Stories of Cuba of course came up. And I had to imagine this strange land. And with these videos I can see it. With some absolutely beautiful music.

I guess I should add that this was in my Spanish class. So I understand what they are saying mostly. When I got confused I would look down at the Subtitles. Accaisionally they became a crutch I needed to stop using, and other times they helped me understand something even better.
The guy with the cigar is my favorite character. I like his car.

Pictures of the Job Test for Several Chains













I got sick of it. Seeing all these dumb questions. And no way for me to actually respond. I want a job not a psyche evaluation.

So with out further ado.

A song about Fast and Testimony meeting. So true.

Wiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!

Really with the article about PS2 killing the PS3, and that most peoples thoughts are similar to this. I would say PS3 needs a lot of help

PS2 might kill PS3

I realize its a Sunday. But this is a pretty good article. And it is very true.
I like the videos for the PS3, they seem amazing. But they are not the type of games I would play.

The Console Wars Don't matter anymore

The reason for this is that the games industry should be making $44 Billion a year, at the end of this console season. If a group only got a quarter of that amount, they would still be doing well.

Costikyan gives his Opinion Again

To be blunt, this guy is more well known as a Complainer then a videogame maker. It is to the point that he has not made a game in years. He may have a point, or he may be trying for some weird Political Power through gaming

Consoles Newest thing

I really want to play certain Modifications for games on a system. The Wii Mote would be awsome with it.

PlayStation 3 may Kill Sony

It really is an interesting article. When the PlayStation Portable came out I saw a similar trend. The DS was making money. The PSP was losing it. So long as the DS sold a game per system, they would make way more money then the PSP. It was an eary thought. And it seems to be what is causing the downfall of the PSP.
The idea of selling at a loss has been around since the original PlayStation. Sony takes a loss for the first 2 - 2.5 years. The idea is that Games will make you break even. But if the games are putting the publishers at a loss as well, then it means that the more profitable system will win again.
Basically it is very similar to the .Com Industry bubble burst. The companies that where built to make money are still around. They are making quite a bit of money still. The majority of the companies did everything at a loss, expecting to make it back from investors and product sales. But they rarely had a good product to sell. So it burst.
Sony is selling the PS3 at a loss, with the idea that everything inside it will begin to sell well. A Blue Ray drive will help sell Blue-Ray movies. The HDMI cords and HD capabilities will sell TVs. The thing is though, most people will not be buying a HD TV. Blue Ray is competing with Downloadable content - which is much cheaper for everyone involved, and adds the ability to update every program pretty easily- And thus we see that PS3 will be at a loss.
This is a bit sad for me. I do like the Nintendo Systems better, but I realize that the other systems have some great games. I have been hoping that the Nintendo Wii will have emulators for PS2 and PS1 systems, as well as the XBox and Dreamcast. This would be easier for me, having only one system to hook up is quite convenient. And signs point to this happening. Which would make the ability to play PS2 games on the PS3 useless.
Sony can still make money. In fact the PS3 may be able to help them out. The ability to hold a smaller tax for system on the older systems may help them out. Think about it, the contracts with Sony for certain games may still stand. Those products would be easy to manufacture and sell, either online or on disk. Sony makes a profit off of those, Plus Nintendo makes money off the System sales and new games. A win/Win situation.
Will this happen. I have no idea, but it would be convenient for me. I happen to want to play Okami.

Mods for Games on Consoles

This might not sound too big. But imagine making a game for the Wii using someone elses engine. Pretty cool idea. Now lets see it come out.

PS3 is Price Drop

The PS3 is finally looking like a challenger to the XBox 360.
I was kind of wondering what to do. I happen to really like the Tony Hawk Series, and the next game is not coming out for the Wii.

Weird Als Greatest Video



No really do you remember this one on PBS

Pac Man in new shoes

To be honest I had an idea like this a while ago. Good for this person to figure out how to make it.

Dust Storm in Iraq



I think I already posted this. But it is so accurate on what they feel like and stuff. The ones I have seen where blocked by modern suburbia so it wasn't as bad. Though there was a rain cloud over it. This lead to mud falling from the sky. It was so amazing.

Weird All is White and Nerdy

How do I get this as my song for My Space?

Water Motions



This is a very nice showpeice. If this was a program. I would look into it.

Holy Crap this is cool

Kermit is Neo



I wish to point out that the CG here has the Anime effect on.
One of the tough parts about all this updating for the blog is that I have to place videos. I tried to send like 20-30 videos, and so far they have not arrived.

Some changes Again

I wanted to add the link part. This way, if you click on the "Link" you go to what I posted about. It was only recently discovered that this was not happening. The Blogger people have not updated there info on how to add the link on the cooler templates. So this is very annoying for me.

A Real Life Shooter

This is funny. I have played games like this in the arcades. Pretty dumb really, which is why this game is so funny.

Cooking Mama

My brother had a dream about a game called Cooking Mama. It was for the DS and involved a Mario like character making food. He made a comment about it to me. And I told him that it existed. He was surprised to find out his dream was true.

Steve Wozniaks House is Cool

A nerd with an Awsome house. Who would have expected that?
I wish there was more pictures of this.

I am going to ruin the winner

I hate the film on number one. It is the reason why I don't really care if I watch a lot of Highschool films. It makes everyone feel happy about how much we have in common. In the end the Nerd is bilked by every one into doing the homework. While all these other students where saying, "That is so me." I was thinking the same thing. Only with the idea of revenge.
Lets be honest, most Higshcool flicks are about preppy teens who can't get there heads out of themselves. They never notice other peoples pain or sorrow. And the NERD ENDS UP DOING THE HOMEWORK!!!!
I have seen some of these and liked them. But why on earth hasn't anyone else caught on to the tragedy that is, "The Breakfast Club"

I need this

Yeah, very likely I will travel in time. I have already made plans for it in fact.

My only question is this, "Will I see the great Theodore Logan and Bill S. Preston singing together?"

Every Simpsons Short for the Tracey Ullman show

Who is Tracey Ullman?
I am watching the episodes right now. Quite interesting to watch the characters change over time. Near the end they appear as the characters we would recognise.
It also has the Simpsons games for the NES, Gameboy, and Genesis. I have to say that the Genesis/SNES had some great Simpsons Games. The one that beats it is on my Gamecube. I hope to have the simpsons games soon though

I really like this game. Partially because I won the last one. I enjoy the strategy to it. A Sort of quick RISK.

Poser 5 lets you pose different characters, and then make some amazing pictures. All shown here show women that have lost clothing. I apologise for that.
