Monday, March 6th, 2006

homer gutVladimir Cole over at Joystiq is conducting a little experiment on himself. He’s seeing whether he can lose 20 lbs. in 3 months using Sony’s Eyetoy as his primary form of exercise. Either he loses the poundage or he loses 500 beans to a Joystiq contributor.

You know, I’ve heard that squatting is a good form of exercise… Squat That Fat!

Review: PSPWare for Mac

PSPWareSquat Squat reviews PSPWare for Mac OS X

Since its launch, Sony has heralded the PSP as the ultimate portable entertainment device. It does gaming, photos music, video, and web browsing–after all. However both Sony’s expensive memory stick pro duo, and their lack of a proper psp software bundle have kept it from its full potential.

Memory stick prices are dropping, and Sony released their media manager software to help with syncing and video encoding. However there is no Mac client.

So what’s a Mac / PSP owner like myself to do? Nullriver software’s PSPWare attempts to fill this need, and does a very good job at it. PSPWare is a PSP synchronization program for Mac OS X. It syncs music, photos, movies and bookmarks to your PSP.

Squatworthy: Jeeves from Ask.com

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

poor jeevesWell, as you may or may not noticed, our favorite Internet Butler Jeeves has been cut from Ask.com. Apparently the website will no longer answer questions anymore and will function just like every other search engine.

By killing off Jeeves, Ask.com has made clear that their goal is to be another google clone.

Don’t worry Jeeves, the website that squatted you will share in your fate soon enough, judging by their new ugly-fied site design and foolishly cutting every bit of good out of their brand.

Pour out some Liquor for our homie Jeeves…

Creepy PS2 Ad

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

plug faceThis PS2 Ad gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps! I wonder if there is any purpose to it other than to grab your attention by terrifying you?

Perhaps the plug-face people signify something. Maybe a Playstation online gaming service to rival Xbox Live? Wishful thinking…

Getting Lost – Dreams of a Lost MMO

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

Walt 0wnedLOST was a rerun of Pilot parts 1 & 2 so there’s no sense in recapping it… except for the guy getting sucked into the engine. How scary was that?

Anyway, while we wait for a new episode we can chat it up about the next one. However I’ve been thinking allot about what a LOST MMO would be like.

SquatMatch: AT-AT Walkers vs. Striders

Friday, February 17th, 2006

walker vs strider

We used to post junk like this on the Lan Hackers message board all the time, so I figured it was time we did it here.

Okay–the Striders from Half-Life 2 or the AT-AT Walkers from Star Wars… Who would win and why?

In my opinion, the walkers have a defensive advantage; being metal and non living, while Striders are living creatures that can feel pain. The Striders however, have an offensive advantage since that canon they use pretty much trumps everything.

What do you think?

Taser: making the world more like splinter cell

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

samvsgordonThe Taser company makes hi-tech ways to stop bad guys without killing them. Their latest invention, the “Extended Range Electro-Muscular Projectile”, paralyzes no-goodnicks without the need of a wire from the device to the projectile. This allows for much greater range in a non-lethal weapon.

Sound Familiar? Yup, its the sticky shocker from Splinter Cell. So now law enforcement can non-lethally squat perps–Sam Fisher Style!

Engadget has the skinny on Taser’s latest non-lethal weap.

treo 700w leechEngadget Mobile is giving away a brand new Treo Smartphone every day in February. All you have to do is comment on the post they make about it daily and you’re in the drawing.

If you’re like me and you don’t really like this phone you may wonder why you should bother. They retail at about 600 and sell like crazy on ebay–That’s why. With that money you could buy an XBox 360 and the 4 decent games that are out for it, hehe.
