SackZilla Says Buy Me!

There is one game alone that could make me buy a PlayStation 3 and that is Little Big Planet. The SackBoy is simply going to be the PS3’s mascot when it comes out later this year. With bending the bounds of creativity LBP is going to be an instant hit for sure. Anyone I hear that has played it raves about how they can spend 5 hours on it like it has been 20 minutes. I itch to play this as well, but more than anything I want to play as an adorable SackBoy! Check out this latest video from LBP. SackZilla

Promoting Bionic Commando Again

Bionic Commando Rearmed is selling pretty well and more than they imagined. I thought I would help a little more by posting more videos! Here you go.

Dirt Surfing, Oh Yeah!

I am all about interesting rides. This is one of them that have caught my eye. Can you imagine how this thing would be to ride down a hill?

Fear of going too fast? Not with this baby, cause faster you go the better your balance on this thing is due to its huge wheels. Also the break system is solid on this thing.

The only bummer is, no hill, no love. It is not like you can take your foot out and push yourself along.

If you have the money and a urge to dirt surf I suggest checking out the website lot of awesome pictures there.

A Beerdolier?

Sweet I am totally ready to go to war now! With the Beerdolier I will have six ready to drink beers at my disposal! That will make me near invincible!

This sling-style pack is made from sturdy nylon material and sports six neoprene beer holders, ensuring that your brews stay cold all day long

If that isn’t you cup of tea you can grab the Beer Belt.! Even if I love bottles more than cans, this looks mega heavy.

Sickness

Not sure if I will be submitting anything to FoxPunk this week. I am feeling pretty bad. I will be resting till I get better.

Snow Spay Gun Fun [Video]

The Japanese are awesome inventors of crazy items for the general public. The Fabria Freshness Gun is one of those items cause it is just a deodorant freshness spay with gimmick. Obviously it has two major features beyond making your room smell nice and fresh. First one is the “snow” that allows you to see where you have sprayed the deodorant. Second one is the mega fun factor of spraying fake snow around your house without the clean up and being left with that nice - Fresh, Orange, or Lemon - smell that the guns are available in. This is a product I would pay a little extra money to buy myself. Hope I see it on the shelves here in the States sometime soon.

Funny Samsung Omnia Unboxing[Video]

I love this video. I have accustomed to seeing the Windows Movie Maker effects so much that it didn’t even occur to me that this might be a professionally made video. Samsung decided to make their own unboxing video in response to the many unboxing videos that were submitted to various video hosting websites. If you are casually not reading this part of the paragraph and just click on the video you might be surprised such as what happens to me. I don’t read, I watch first, read later.

Sony’s Virtual Pet [Video]

Anymore I am excited about the Liezig Games Conference in Germany way more than E3 these days. This would be one of the reasons. I was amazed when I saw this video and it really speaks for itself. While it isn’t the best virtual pet ever it is certainly extremely impressive. It is not something I would buy but who am I to argue about playing with it, cause I certainly would!

Another Gross Scam

I don’t often watch television but often I run across infomercials. I’ve run across this particular one where you put these pads on the bottom of your feet and you draw out the toxins in your body. This concept isn’t really too fake considering how much blood runs through your legs and the pads of your feet. Even in the hospital they will pump the bottom of your feet if you are bed bound for too long. However this concept always felt wrong to me. Drawing out toxins out from the bottom of you feet… I hardly believe you can sweet out any significant amount of toxins in a steam bath.

Over at Gizmodo they posted an article from NPR proving my thoughts of it being a scam. Actually now the concept grosses me out even more. I like a clean bed so bringing a dirt pad to bed freaks me out a little.

It turns out the Kinoki product is activated by either heat or moisture—the pads turned into the dirty “used” state even when held over a steaming pot of harmless water! Our bodies have a pretty efficient ways to get rid of metabolic waste; usually, you can even read the paper while it happens.

Nintendo Vs The Internet

Back in 2007 I became excited when they announced the Nintendo DS Browser that I could use in my Nintendo DS to connect and browse the internet. After a while I never saw it in any stores and came to the conclusion that no one care about it and neither should I. Nintendo has been doing the internet wrong for a long time now and has improved with the DS and the Wii but they still overall fail to satisfy the American market. Without picking apart the friend codes and such, you can go to other websites for that, I am just asking why? I don’t know why Nintendo has to approach the internet in such a super safe way to the point it is useless in most cases. One of my biggest strikes against the DS and the Wii, though they are amazing products.

What caught my eye today was Twitter on the DS. Suddenly I was excited cause I love Twitter and I love my DS! Then just as fast I realized I didn’t care to do anything on my DS aside from play games thirty minutes to an hour at a time. Certainly I didn’t want to use a 3rd party application to attempt to use my Twitter account. I would just use the DS Browser instead and I still wouldn’t do that.

I find it intriguing that people are still trying to develop 3rd party applications for the DS and beyond that trying to use the Wi-Fi features primary.
