Come out to plaaay!

CAAAAN YOOUUU DIIIIIG IIIT?

The cheesiest/best movie of all time is getting made into a video game. Despite the fact that it's one of the greatest video game companies of all time, games made from movies mostly suck.

Well, we'll just have to see, won't we?

Retro rockets fire!

I know I'm not the worlds biggest geek. But I'm in the running for tri-state. So, I'm usually impressed at bigger geeks than me, but not suprised. Once, I read an interview with a guy who had written a web server to run off his Apple Newton. I found it impressive, but not really astonishing. God knows I understand the impulse to fill time messing with older hardware.

What really blows my mind is when a company bases it's business strategy on there being armies of mega-geeks. That's the case with this company who's making a wireless controller for the original NES. They're counting on enough people being sick of leaning forward when they play Back to the Future 2-3 with their friends for six hours that they're going to snap these babies up. Well, come to think of it, maybe a little Wheel of Fortune featuring Vanna White is better played from a safe distance.

Ah, you kids with your ipoddery.....

Why doesn't everybody want one of these? Sure Ipods are cool looking, and like so many Apple products, they win in terms of the interface. But man, what a rip. I mean, the only thing even approaching this price point is the shuffle which tries to mask it's lack of a screen as a selling point. Plus buying an ipod puts you in the Apple lock in. You can only use Itunes or your cd's on your Ipod, and doesn't that just blow? Especially when there's so many kick-ass mp3 audioblogs out there. And you know, people are starting to figure this out. Not just geeks like me. But also former RIAA shill and public enemy Hilary Rosen has figured it out

Besides, shiny black is cooler than ghostly white anyday. And if I have to see another ad with silhouettes implying that the only thing that makes me cool is white headphones, I'm going to puke.
