| Wii Nintendo has announced that the Wii will be released on November 19,2006 for only $249.99. That's quite a bit cheaper than PS3 and the Xbox 360, plus it's Nintendo. Any gamer that has been around more than two video game has to be excited for this system. Its virtual console can download games for the NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis/MegaDrive, Turbo-Grafx, and MSX home computer. It will be directly backwards compatible to the Game Cube (including games, controllers, and memory cards). It has the Wii remote with nunchuk attachment, which has the potential to change gaming as we know it. They are standard wireless controllers (using Blue Tooth technology). The best part is that Shelley said that if its under $300, I can get it on the preorder date. |
| Noses Optional Noses Optional is a great gamer/geek comic. The art is very smooth and unique. It has amazingly fun comics based on the creator's real life. Judging from the comic, Kristy Bourgeois and Sara-"Fred" Rickert must have an extremely entertaining life. I think what makes the comic most enjoyable is the random, yet relatable, humor. Getting a brief glimpse into their lives is always enough to give their readers a smile. The only downside of this comic is the infrequent updates, but it is a lot of fun to read when it does update. Check it out and make sure to read the short news posts while your there. They are often times as fun as the comic. |
November 1, 2006 I know Halloween is already over, but I got this idea yesterday and had to post it. My mom forgot to buy candy to hand out, so she used some old candy that had been sitting under a bird cage for about a year. It was covered in feathers and bird seed, so she just dusted it off and handed it out. I thought it was gross until I realized we didn't have any candy either, and Josh ended up handing out old Easter candy. |
