I went to the Dentist yesterday. Not fun. Still in a bit of pain. However, I'm pushing through to bring to you many things of interest. We'll start with the most important.
So today we see some actual news on the front of electronic gaming. Unless you live under a rock, which I know is the popular thing know, or unless you are Hitler, you probably know about the Big Three. No, not the politics but rather the Gaming Consoles. Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the Revolution. Most the consoles had been revealed, even the Xbox 360 receiving a release date of Nov. 22, except for the Nintendo Revolution. It was mysterious entity, lurking about the room in a dark corner while everyone peered at it out of the corner of their eyes and whispered quietly. Well, today, we got a little bit of news about it.
The controller. And the controller is a real "WTF?" moment. Evidently 1up has the scoop, which you can get by clicking here. The problem with this controller is I can easily see someone picking it up and attempting to control the television volume with it, only getting more and more frustrating as the remote fails to function. A game controller should look like a game controller, not a DVD remote. It talks about how the controller has gyros and little sensors that measures where the controller is pointing at on-screen. And how you can swing it like a sword to control said virtual sword on the screen.
Do you have any idea how stupid that would look? Four geeks, swinging away with remote controls, screaming and cussing? I mean, I already hate the kind of people who jerk their controller around as if the signals will be sent down the wire and inform the car they are controlling to not slam into the wall but instead perform a 180. Now these people have a legitimate excuse. I predict much smacking of people as wild swings are performed.
Other newies:
- Google launched their new blog searching tool a few days ago. Pretty sweet. It merits a checking out.
- I've been watching a bunch of King of Queens and it's actually a pretty good show. Totally unrealistic, for the big, dumb white guy gets major babe-o-rama who thinks he can do no wrong, but still pretty funny. The lead actor, Kevin James (Hitch), is hilarious. What's really funny about the show is that Kevin Jame's character, Doug, is like my Dad incarnate.
I recommend it for something kinda light-hearted, good in-between Battlestar Galatica. An interesting note of Trivia is that Will Smith himself selected Kevin James to co-star with him on Hitch. Will Smith is a major fan of King of Queens. Will Smith is a Unicorn, so this is a good endorsement.
- Speaking of TV Shows, I'm just about to go put on the First Season of Lost. I rented it and want to see if its as good as everyone has been claiming. I'll let you know what I think.
And just something to chew on. While in the theater to see The Brothers Grimm, I was waiting around, like all Unicorns do, for my friends to buy themselves some popcorn. I happened to notice a movie poster for a 50 Cent movie called "Get Rich or Die Tryin'". In little sub-titles was the words "At the end of the day, what will you hold on to?"
Now, you are assuming that 50 Cent was clutching something appropriate, like a gun, money, maybe some weed or some nice booty. But no. What this hardcore, gangsta' rapper was clutching was a baby.
A baby.
Yea, what the hell indeed. I'm not sure if he was planning to kill it or snort it or something. But, whatever...
