| 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. |
| October 23, 2006 I don't have anything to say today so I thought I'd post a little joke. Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all of the bickering. Finally God said, "I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job." So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job. But ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the electricity went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming "It's gone! It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!" Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait! He cheated, how did he do it?" God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves." |
