RVB on XboxLive


So, for all of you who enjoy RvB, they have a post on their Site that talks about their new series for Xbox360 owners, Out of Mind, which can be downloaded on your 360. Pretty cool huh. Man I wish I had a 360.

WNBC Today June 21 - Vincent Ferrari Interview


As a freelance tech, I have numerous occasions to assist clients in dealing with AOL. Whether this be canceling an account, asking why they upgraded the account with out permission or just trying to get the dang software to work. Once of the most dreaded times is when you have to talk to accounts retention. These people will do anything short of threats on the lives of your family to get you to NOT cancel the accounts. It is so nice to see someone record these people and out AOL as the techno-single-celled ameba it is.

Cool Cross-stitch? Yeah!

Are your shoes just too boring? Why not add a little Final Fantasy~


I dunno what the message would be by having a bomb on your bum, but it's pretty cute. :)


Always wanted a Dr. Mario t-shirt and could never find one?

Need that perfect Wedding gift for the old-school gamer in your life?

Or have a Zelda freak on your list?

What would I do without Craftster? :)

Yarr! There be pirates in them there waters.




Forget the Seven Seas, Head on over to the Burning Sea, where Pirates And Navy clash in epic battles. Although this MMO is still in beta, from what I have seen and played, this game rocks. Your characters are highly customizable, and you have the option of being either Pirates or Navy. Not only that, the visuals are stunning, and the game play is extremely versatile. You can run around town, talk to people, or you can set sail on the high seas to go between islands, and engage in ship battles. The game even features different classes of ships, and different types of shot you can use in your cannons, including chain shot, and grape shot.And of course, you gotta have a shot of a pretty lady.

Sweet Golf MMO


For all of you who enjoy golf games, There is this sweet golf MMO called Albatross 18: Realms of Pangya. It's fun ad the great thing is its free. The only thing you have to pay for is optional stuff through a system called the cookie system. But if you want more info about that you can hop over to their site. Out of all the golf games I have played, it is most definitely my favorite. And the best thing is, it's online. And its even parent approved. My friends dad plays it more than he does.

Apple PowerBook = Wii Wanna-be?



Check this out! Apple has apparently come out with something called the AMS2HID. This neat little piece of Apple hardware is the key to making your Powerbook an early version of a Wii controller! Check it out it's pretty stinking cool if you ask me! It actually integrates itself with almost all the functions of the laptop: Everything from that neat little game with the ball (you know that annoying one with the crazy physics that you can never get past the 5th level) to scrolling thru your browser window and "flying" around in Google Maps. It doesn't look particularly useful for the most part, but just the concept of having an accelerometer on a laptop is a neat thought. With the popularity of the accelerometer and the release of the holographic disk and hologram stuff this year, I'm intrigued to think about some of the technologies that may be coming out in the not to distant future. Holographic computers anyone ?

PAX

I really cant believe that Frank has not made a post about this already. I mean come on, he showed it to me. Anyways, this is like, the best gaming convention ever. PAX is always held in August. In '04, I got to play halo 2, 3 months before it came out. Last year, they had Twilight Princess as a playable demo. And it all started with a simple, yet awesome webcomic. Penny-Arcade.com. If you have any questions or thoughts about PAX, simply go to the Forums and make a topic. But please, post responsibly, and look through previous threads before you make your own. Because as many of us well know, double posts just get annoying. So look around the main site, read the webcomic, and browse the forums. and if you are interested, maybe I will see you there.

Farewell for the time being,
