Researchers Develop 360* Holographic Display

Researchers at USC have taken another step closer to making my dreams come true. Using a very quick spinning mirror and some Holographic paper, (don't expect me to understand how this actually works) the researchers actually create an image that is visible from 360 Degrees. The effect is impressive, to say the least. Now where can I buy one of these?

PAX is Tomorrow!


Oh yeah, I'm excited. The NerdFest begins tomorrow and you can bet we're gonna be there drooling over every little morsel of game we can find. And that's a lot of drool! For those of you going, see you there! For those of you not going, man it sucks to be you. See you in the line!

Square Enix Opens US Online Store Opens, Finally!


After years of fan boys crying to the heavens for an official Merchandise store to open for the US, their prayers have been answered. As of yesterday the Square Enix Official Online Merchandise Store is officially open for business. After spending about 10 minutes riffling through various pages of keyblades and materia necklaces, I've pretty much realized that this store is nothing but a money sink. Which should seem fairly obvious to most, but you must remember that I am an avid Final Fantasy fan. I am ashamed to admit that I have played, in their entirety, every single Final Fantasy game to date. With the exception of Mystic Quest which I still do not believe is a true Final Fantasy.

Now excuse me as I go deposit $110 into my bank account so I can buy my Cloud Strife gear necklace thingy...

SSBB Character Screen Leaked!


Whether or not this is real or photoshopped or just alpha testing of the game is yet to be seen. But if this screen is real and actually represents how many character will actually be in game, holy cow! Who would you like to see in SSBB? Sonic? Tails? Master Chief? Bonk? A Tetrimino? Rev up your thinking caps, according to this picture there's 50 character slots to fill and we've only seem about a dozen or so of those spots filled.

Man Vs. Wild is Phony Bologna!

Uh yeah, this clip pretty much sums up the whole ridiculous nature of this show. I wouldn't mind it so much if they just let you know. But instead they choose to mislead everyone into thinking this one hardcore survivalist guy. Ugh, no he's not.

Heroes the Board Game

Patty o Furniture over on craftster shared one of her latest projects- and it is cool! It was made from an old thrift store game board... that is my kind of recycling. :)


More pictures and a list of the rules here.

The Daily Fix: Roleplaying Woes

If you've ever played through a roleplay scenario, you know exactly what it's like. No matter what, you almost always have the stereotypical group. There's the drunk, the action hero, the new guy who has no idea what's going on, and the game whore. This little video epitomizes that, EXACTLY! In fact, I think I've relived this exact moment.

Tom Hanks is... Bond, James Bond

The Daily Fix: Musical Prowess

Oh yes! It's definitely time to be excited. For it is the return of .... THE DAILY FIX!! Yes, yes. Thank you for your love and adoration. But anyways, today's Daily Fix is a guy who goes by the name Piano Squall. Those of you who recognize the name may be thinking "How corny, that game was the best worst game ever made!" And I would have to agree with you. But this guy makes up for his awesome lame name with his prowess on the piano. Check out his video here. And if you like what you see, buy his first album, aptly named GAME.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Oh yeah, you heard me right. The next Narnia movie is already in production and is slated to come out May 16, 2008. I know this is probably kind of weird, but I'm pretty excited about this. I was pleasantly surprised by the first movie and Prince Caspian looks equally awesome. According to the Narnia blog, they plan on releasing a new Narnia movie every May for the next 6 years until all of the books in the primary book series are out. Color me interested! Also, check out this clip!

**edit** I took out the clip since it was incredibly annoying as it started as soon as you loaded the page. If you would still like to watch the clip just click on the link above.
