Awesome Tenacious D Guitar Hero Game

So here's a cool little flash game based on the Guitar Hero series of games, to celebrate the release of the Tenacious D movie: "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny".

Motion Blur and its Effect on Gaming

Wow, those boys over at Crysis-Online (an unofficial Crysis fansite), have some interesting reads.

Here's an article about Motion Blur and its Effect on Gaming. Its a pretty good read, with a demonstation video at the end.

Its kinda relevant nowadays as more and more game and animation studios are using motion blurring. Although the last game I played with motion blur (Need for Speed Carbon), was appalling. I couldn't drive the car properly as almost all the screen was blurred.
Hopefully, Crysis will get this right (I've heard Gears Of War does pretty good motion blur).

Anyways, enjoy the read be-hatches.

Cool Song Covers

Here's a cool list of song covers, listing the good, bad, and outright weird. Although they miss out the Hey Ya!" cover by Mat Weddle of Obadiah Parker.

Check em out

Here's my personal fave: an acoustic version of Paula Abdul's "Straight Up".


Also check out the original Digg post. The comments hold more morsels of cover song goodness.

NexGen Wars

So there's this site that apparently is tracking the market share of next-generation consoles.
The (se)XBox 360 is top of market share but the Wii has a higher percentage?? Whatever the fuck that means.

Check out the stats here

They also have some cool little sigs to keep track of things.

Worldwide Ages of Consent Card

Well, some of us may know the feeling of having a girl (or a guy) tell us that they are under the age of consent....after the deed. And you know what? That makes you a raper!!! Even if love was involved and there was consent from both parties.

So, to help you never experience the threat of cops chasing you and the fear of having you name on the sexual offenders list as a paedophile, heres the handy:

"Worldwide Ages of Consent Card"

...and by "card" I mean, you'd have to print it out and fold it into a million pieces until it fits into your wallet.

Enjoy
Seacrest OUT!!!

Personality Test

Well, time for another test!!! Yay, this time its a personality test.

Thanks to Yee for the link-a-lot.

P.S. Can you guess which one I picked. Here's a clue: (I picked number 1.)

How NOT To Play My Wii

Well, there have been reports that the Wiimote Controller is kinda weak. Actually, to be more precise, the wrist strap is weak.
People have been reporting that their wrist staps have snapped and the Wiimote then proceeds to fly out of their hands. In some cases, the Wiimote flies staight towards the player's precious flat screen TV, and in due process cracks the glass. See here for the first report of this.

I, being a natural cynic, believed this to be a hoax to scare people during the Thanksgiving holidays. But this video seems to prove otherwise:


So for anyone hoping to play with my Wii (*snigger*) this christmas, best follow these simple rules:

1.	No sweaty palms - shirts, jeans & towels are the only drying aids allowed (no freakin' talcum powder unless its your own controller).
2.	No swinging like the guy in the video. You don't need to be doing it that hard.
3.	You must let me win (with a minimum win/loss ratio of 0.600)

Thanks to engadget for the linkerage.
Only 2 weeks left!!! w007!!!

Sooper Quick Random Access Memory

Its supposedly speedily like the Flash (I'm gonna go with the golden age, Jay Garrick version). It apparently runs at 1,150MHz!!!

By looking at the picture, can you guess how they managed this? Also note that its made by OCZ (for those of you in the know).


Here's a hint: What the hell is wrong with regular airflow cooling? Plus you can get cool fans with LEDs and stuff. Plus ***** cooling uses fans and radiators/fins anyway, so why add something else to the mix?

Thanks to engadget

Wiimote Accessories

So you've bought a Wii, and you've got your copy of "The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess". So all you need now is your costume....

Now what would be the hardest part of dressing up like this guy? Could it be the stick on ears, the boots, tunic, hat, the stockings? Well many of you may say the sword and shield, because who's going to have the time to make those!?!? Just look at the guy on the right, you can tell he hasn't got a life!! Unless you or your friends dabble in cosplay, I doubt you'll have a set like that gathering dust in the house. Also your going to be playing a game, so you don't want to have your masterfully created accessories to be strapped on your back!! Luckily there could be an answer...

Be on the lookout for me in my best Link getup in the coming Wii-ks (hahahaha....*sigh* that was so Wii-k...hahaha). Maybe if your lucky, I'll post some awesome pics (December 8th - keep it in your diaries)....Wii'll see.

So that's what Wii're doing wrong....

Haha, get it? Oh my, that Wii thing is going to get Wii-lly old soon.

So here's what men are doing wrong in general - in regards to sexual relations.

Fifty Mistakes Men Make When Having Sex
NOTE: the site may be down as I dugg this pretty early on, so it may have suffered the Digg effect. If so, check out the Duggmirror

I know its not really in keeping with the blog, but the media and blogosphere has been saturated with the US Wii launch coverage....so kinda boring.

On a related Wii note, my Wii hardware (console) has been confirmed by Game. Yipee!!!! Although my confirmation email said that they might not be able to guarantee the delivery of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess :'(
Hopefully it comes, otherwise I'm stuck with Wii Sports or I'll have to purchase Madden 07 to tide me over.

How To Build Your Own Wacom Cintiq Tablet

I've always wanted one of these coz they look so cool. Shame that I don't actually do any Photoshoppy workm and the fact that they cost bucks (roughly £2,000).

But some adventurous young man decided to make his own 21" tablet. This thing cost him roughly £100, so a 95% discount!!!!

Lucky for me, he has put up an 18 step how-to on his website.

Thanks to Engadget for the link.

Asian Guys With White Girls?

So here's a common occurrence: whay are there so many White Guys with Asian Girls, but hardly any White Girls with Asian Guys?
Well someone has dared to answer this age ol' question. Check out his short film, "Yellow Fever":

(BTW, by "Asian" I mean "Oriental" for all you British readers).

Army Of Two Trailer

Holy Crap!!! This game looks awesome!!





The HD versions of the trailers are available from the GameTrailers website.

Battlefield 2142 Stats + Others

So, finally the Battlefield 2142 stats are appearing.

There were two sites before (2142-stats.com and bf2142tracker.com). But then EA ordered these stats sites to stop using the tracker. All this was setup so that EA could finally release the Official Battlefield 2142 Stats page, under the "Player Profile" menu.
But now EA have released their official stat page, it seems the 2142-stats.com have got their stats back up (shame the site is still in development - I want my sig!!).

Check my stats out at:
www.2142-stats.com
Official EA Stats

For anyone who cares to look me up here's my PID (Player ID): 81883612

Also of note, check out www.bfsigs.com to create a signature for the popular FPS games. Check out mine above. Currently they only offer BF2142 Server sigs and BF2142 Status sigs (showing if your online or not).

Optical Illusion Time

OK kids, its late in the afternoon, you don't want to do any more work, why not try this.

Optical Illusion

I can guarntee you there are no computer trickery trick being employed. Just a javascript mouseover to change the picture to a greyscale.

There are more examples linked on the page. But don't do it for too long or you may hurt your eyes.

A Reason Not To Buy A Lappy-Top

Yeah, so Apple have now released their lappy collection under the Intel Core 2 Duo processor range. Sony also make some nice Vaio's. Asus make some OK notebooks too (I was even thinkin' of gettin the W5F).

But there has been recent news and a recall of laptop batteries due to them 'exploding'. Well some guys setup an experiment to see if they could set their laptop to blow up. Check out the vid ahead....



Of note:
I like how the guy says it gets to over 1000 degrees, without even giving the scale he using. I'm sure its fahrenheit as those crazy Americans love their over inflated numbers.

But seriously, please be careful all you lappy users out there.


P.S. I know its the big PS3/Wii lauches, but I'll cover these in my own good time. GOT IT!!!

What's With All The Guitar Related Games?

More Tests!!!

Do you have a video game problem? Apparently, I may have one.

I am 66% Video Game Addict.

Video games are a big portion of my life, maybe too big of a portion. They are not a means of social interaction, despite what I might think. I should just go outside.

Take the
Video Game Addict Test
@ FualiDotCom

Also, there are more tests on OKCupid. Beware though, its a dating site, but it has some cool tests. I didn't post my results coz they're quite verbose, and their pre-formatted "Copy & Paste" section for Blogger is crap.

Jessica Chobot is waaay Hotter than Morgan Web

Well this is a preview of "Splinter Cell : SomethingOrOther". But she does get into bed.


Way Hotter.
Her MySpace (its all about Facebook now)
Unofficial Chobot fansite
Her IGN blog.

I know a lot of people don't really like her, and I don't know why? Maybe its that IGN thing.

Morgan Webb is (not) Hot??

Morgan Webb is now the game guru for FHMUS. Problem is... well... she's not really that hot, well IMO anyway.

Here's her Top 20 Games of all time, ordered chronologically. Plus you get to see her in a bikini (like that's any kind of plus point).


Everyone knows that Jessica Chobot is waaaaaaayy hotter (even if she does work for IGN - zing).

Dragon's Quest on the Wii

OMG!!! This looks amazing!!! I want!!!

I wonder when these'll be available on from Scan?

How Much of a Nerd are You?

I don't know yet, but I'll take these tests later.

Stay tuned for my results...

COD3 on the Wii is supposed to be fun

Well at least that's what this review says.

Call of Duty 2 was cool on the PC, especially graphically. But the Wii is really just a souped up Gamecube, so I guess the fun is going to be in the "interactivity" of the controller.

We'll just have to wait and see until December 8th.

I want a Firefox Extension to ...

Here's a simple site that lists 200+ extensions for Firefox.

I wouldn't suggest installing them all, coz your machine might die.

OMG Its Freakin' Holograms!!!!

Awesome!!!!!

I only read this from engadget coz the article had a pic of a sexy hologramatical lady.
