The 4 Year TF2 Old Medic [Video]
Ok, wow. And I'm worried about playing TF2 when my 10 year old is hanging around because it's "kindof violent".
Blog Disclosure
>> Thursday, October 08, 2009
There's been a ruling recently by the FTC about how Blogs will have to be required to disclose if they are receiving compensation to promote products. Compensation could include receiving things for free.
Here's a link to the article. I'll probably also do a different style of post on this subject over on OSAF in the future.
Anyway, here's my "disclosure". All of the reviews on this site are of crap that I bought and paid for with my own money. However if some company (Hasbro, Valve, Nintendo) wants to send me games or toys to review I will gladly disclose that and put up an honest opinion of if it's crap or not. Seriously, how do you get on these lists? I want to get some free review product going. We get pretty good numbers here I swear!*

Is the Ability to "Update" Your Console Really Good?
>> Wednesday, October 07, 2009
One of the staple features of the current generation of video game consoles, the X-Box 360, the Playstation 3, and the Wii is internet connectivity. While this was an optional add on for most of the previous generation (PS2 and Dreamcast had optional Network adapters, Dreamcast had a built in modem), the current gen all have this feature by default.
This has allowed console makers to provide continuous updates and tweaks to their console design and features through firmware updates. This si great in theory, the wii now supports larger SD cards, the PS3 added that Home deal, in general it's a nice addition. But it also seems to be a bit of a curse. Recent updates to both the PS3 and Wii could potentially be fatal to your console, especially if you own an earlier iteration of the hardware.
First here's an October 1st article about Bricked Wiis. I was talking to someone about this and they claim that the problem actually has to do with an update to the Boot system. Earlier Wiis are much more likely to be bricked by this new latest update. Fortunately you can probably just skip it since the only real change is "Nintendo killed the current version of the Homebrew Channel". Why Nintendo bothers with this each update is beyond me. You're irritating a relatively small "hardcore" audience for your console and the guys making the Homebrew Channel WILL defeat whatever blocks they make in each update. History has shown that "where there is a will, there's a way" and in the digital realm, 1s and 0s can ALWAYS be cracked or hacked.
Now, latest news is that the latest PS3 Update is also bricking consoles. Don't these companies test this crap out? They really should have a lab with every possible combination of hardware released in it where they test out each and every update.
then there is always the classic X-Box 360 Red Ring of Death.
Seriously shoddy job there folks... Get your shit together.
Mario Kart: The Movie!
>> Friday, August 28, 2009
Pretty well done spoof trailer for a "live action" Mario Movie. Most of the characters are pretty believably well done though Peach seems a little off for some reason. I suppose they picked her because of her "Bikini abilities" not her "Being Princess Peach" ability.
Luigi should have been interviewed with a Wiimote instead of a television remote though. Oh well.
