Oops

"Why did our captain tell us all to meet here in single file fashion.........................Oh crap!!!"

This is a gif of some game play from war game or something, looks like team red was lined up for something and team blue had wheels and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Funny in a sick kind of way. If you know any more details of this, put them in my comments. Thx

Batman Begins on DVD


After the last two Batman movies, I didn't think that a good Batman movie would ever rise. I am glad to say that Batman Begins totally redeems itself for a franchise. Christian Bale does a fantastic job of playing our bat friend fighting for Gotham City. After you buy Batman Begins and if you like Christian Bale, you should rent The Machinist. You will be thinking how an amazing actor he is after seeing that movie. A little weird but just amazing that he lost like 60lbs to play that character. Well, amazon.com has Batman Begins 2 disc set for $15.98 go out and get it Tuesday. [more info]

New iPod video player

Apple did it again and updated the popular iPod player by making the screen a little larger and now has the capability of playing video. The 30GB is $299.00 and the 60GB is $399.00 and they both come in white or black. iTunes went to version 6 and you can download abc and Disney shows to play on your new iPod like the popular shows Desperate Housewives and Lost for $1.99 each.

Frank Hannon Band concert


Last night I went to see The Frank Hannon Band in concert for their CD release party in Sacramento. Frank Hannon is the lead guitarist for Tesla. Frank had a couple of his Tesla band members come up and perform a couple of songs including Jeff Keith, lead singer from Tesla, and bass player Brian Wheat. I am not really the biggest fan of genre of music as much as my room mate, but I would have to say that Frank put on quite a show and this is the second time I have seen him and I would go again. He is quite the performer and keeps his band on their toes by going off on these weird tangent guitar solo and expect his band to keep up with him. The three of them seemed to be having just as much fun as the crowd and that is what made it so entertaining.

Nintendo Revolution controller

I know this came out a couple of weeks ago, but I am starting to get really excited about this one. This is the new controller for the upcoming Nintendo Revolution. I think this is one of the most innovative ideas any game company has ever done before. It has a gyro effect which detects motion and what you do with the controller will make your character do it on the screen. For instance in a first person shooter, if you wanted to walk forward you would tilt the controller forward. Of course it is wireless and it has an attachment jack at the base of the controller for add on peripherals. Will it sell more games, not really sure, but I sure hope so.
I feel that Playstation and XBox game makers are just looking for the next dollar and have abandoned the art of a good game. I just got a Super Nintendo off of eBay and reliving my childhood memories with great games like Zelda, Super Contra and Super Mario Brothers. I love current gen games like the GTA series and the graphics of latest systems, but we need games that are more in depth and more creative.
