Guitar Hero Shirt Design!


I just had to post this here since anyone that loves Guitar Hero might get a kick out of it. I designed this shirt for the GH fans. It's simple enough to look nice and subtle enough for a non-fan to ask what it's for.

If you can't see the picture here is the link to check out the other shirts and products with this design. Let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Why an 80 GB PS3?


Can someone please tell me, in this day in age, why SONY would go from 60 GB to 80 GB for their internal hard drive?

Is it just me or is this the silliest thing I have ever heard of. They just dropped the 20 GB model and now they go from 60 - 80. Just when I was thinking my 100 GB external HD was small. These aren't iPODS for goodness sakes. Come-on SONY at least go up to 120 and double down. Heck, the gamers already buying the PS3 aren't going to mind spending a few extra bucks to get a mammoth HD. Since I am already not buying one at these prices you have nothing to worry about. And also, what would be the point of an 80 GB HD when the new XBOX 360 Elite is coming out with 120 GB. Don't you want to keep up with Microsoft. What? Chicken? I know. It's probably all the money your losing on each console. You don't want to lose anymore than you have to.

Let me know how you feel. Would 20 GB really make that big a difference?

Amazon US Chart Watch


I was just reading an article about how the UK Amazon chart was shaping up today and it got me interested in our very own US version. So I went and looked, just like everyone else can and saw some interesting things. It's still a Nintendo dominated list.

At number one, not suprisingly, is Super Paper Mario for the Wii. It was released today and that is why I am not suprised. Number 2 is the XBOX 360 version of Guitar Hero II. Guitar Hero is just fun to play. No way around it. I can't wait for Guitar Hero III coming to the Wii in Late 2007. Then from number 3 through number 8 it's all Nintendo, including the Wii console at 5. For Number 9, it's the new release of Lord Of The Rings Online and rounding out the top 10 is Wii Play.

For the fanboys on all sides, especially the Nintendo side, the PS3 is clocked in at #12 and the XBOX 360 is sitting at #29.

Galaga out for the Wii Virtual Console!

Oh man what a Monday!

Galaga was released for the Virtual Console on the Wii. I know, I know. What a tired old game with lousy graphics.

Graphics, Smaphrics! It's freaking Galaga.

I bought it and played for a few minutes before having to leave for work and it played just like it should have. Pure. The only thing missing is a joystick and a button strong enough to withstand countless bashings. Here's hoping that some third party makes an old school controller for the Wii that has just one Jostick and two buttons to just destroy.

That would be heaven...

Now if only Ninja Gaiden would hurry up and get released.

PSP just dropped price to $170... what next?

Well, SONY just announced that they are dropping the price of their PSP by 15% to $170. This is good news for gamers in general. I still do not own one but would start to consider as the price moves down.

However I do own an original DS! Which from the start has been very entertaining. I still play MarioKart online against others and still train my brain. So for now the DS is the only portable I need. Excellent games and good prices and still much cheaper than the PSP. And now I can see the DS going down to the UBER price of $99 just before the Holidays in 07. That will be something SONY is not looking forward to.
