Acid for Blood

As gamers, we do not have the most environmentally-friendly of hobbies. Playing games on your console or PC uses electricty, and there’s no getting around that. HCW compared the energy usage of the three major current-generation consoles as well as a mid-range PC:

In video games, both the PS3 and XBOX 360 were relatively low compared […]

A real post to come later tonight after work, honest.
For now, I have several oh-so cutting-edge Web 2.0 things to share.
1) I am on Twitter. Updated with the minutiae of my life, when I remember. Not that anyone cares, but in case you’re bored.
2) I have a tumblelog on Tumblr. There isn’t anything there yet. […]

Apparently, the ill-informed gamers on the interweb have united to declare that the PS3 controller can do everything that the Wii controller can do. Xantar over at The Gaming Hobo sets the record straight on the difference between the Wii controller and the PS3 controller:

So to recap, the PS3 controller can’t simulate a knife cut […]

Nintendo isn’t abandoning the traditional control pad. Here is a picture of the “Classic Pad” controller for the Wii:

It has dual analogue sticks and what appear to be four shoulder buttons. It’s a wired controller, though I can’t tell whether the wire comes out of the top and they’ve pictured it trailing behind the pad […]

When I had a working 35mm camera, I used to take a lot of pictures of random things I saw throughout the day. I’d often take my camera along with me, and snap photos when I saw something interesting. I have no photography training or anything, but it was fun to have an image of […]

OHMYGOSH. The Optimus Keyboard, with an OLED display under each key, has a launch date. Supposedly 1st February. The price? Only your first-born child.
You can customise the keyboard so that each key displays exactly what it does. So if you play games, you can make the keyboard display game functions, for example, they have mapped […]

When I started playing Guild Wars, it was hard to juggle the need to communicate via the chat window with the requirement to stay alive and kill things. One of my guildies and I thought that we should look into some sort of voice communication system. A lot of online gamers use voice chat programs, […]

I have finally replaced my lost mobile, after about a month of being without one. In the end, I didn’t get the Nokia 6230i or the 6230. I decided that it would be more prudent to simply replace my Nokia 3120 instead of spending $100+ more on a phone with a camera and MP3 player. […]

Last night, Sarchasm told me about a fantastic way to discover new music. It’s called Pandora. The way it works is that you tell it what kind of music you like, starting with one song or artist. The programme will create a station, find songs in the Music Genome Project that are musically similar to […]

MobiBLU DAH-1500i “Cube” MP3 Player
I was happy with the sound quality, the features, the unit size (smallest MP3 player in the world!), the 1GB space, and the aesthetics of this MP3 player, but I returned it to WAL-MART last Sunday.
It is unreliable. It was working fine the first few weeks, and then it started acting […]
