Microsoft denies rumors of new Xbox 360 contains the Matrix

Now this is just ridiculous.

Three processor cores running at 3.2 GHz, 512 MB, and a tangle of video processor jargon. It looks like Bill Gates is willing to go bankrupt to own the console market.

I'm no devotee to any single platform, but this just looks monster. The real problem is how developers are going to afford to create games complex enough to use the hardware.

Oh, and it's wireless. Wireless internet and a standard wireless controller.

Damn.

No licking unless you're going to buy!

Kung Fu Hustle is the best movie I have seen this year. That is all.

Do NOT buy "new" games at Hastings

Through a deal I found at cheapassgamer.com, I traded three old Xbox games for one new one, Chronicles of Riddick. This new game then sat on my shelf for months. Yesterday I finally tried to play it. Opening the shrinkwrap I discovered they had given me a re-sealed game, complete with thumbprint on surface and sticky residue (from a sticker?) on the top. It played fine, but when I ejected it the game was gone.

Or rather; not gone, but stuck to the inner surface of the drive. The Xbox would no longer play anything else. Chronicles or nothing.

It took half an hour of probing to get the disc out of my 'Box after work. The disc is useless, even if I wanted to risk it again. Thanks a lot Hastings, for resealing a used game that almost wrecked my system.



Damn yo, somebody DJ'ed all over my disc

Naruto 123: What does it mean when there's a picture of a skull?

Good stuff!

Lee's back! AND drunken boxing!!!

So they spoiled it in last week's teaser, but it was still nice to see the admirable green beast back in action. I just hope the animation next week is up to the challenge of animating Chan-style drunken boxing.

Did anyone else think the Naruto/Kimimaro fight was rather disappointing? Naruto basically phoned his performance in. Normally he would throw everything into a fight and at least have some trick in mind. Here, he just makes swarms of kagebunshins and lets them attack in small groups. Weak. Kimimaro, while being impressively strong and fast, doesn't do anything too deadly or creative. This guy was supposed to be be Orochimaru's vessel? I suppose, then the point for this is to pull out all the stops for the Kimimaro/Rock Lee fight.


And if Sasuke's finally out of the bucket, does this mean he won't be on Bleach for a while?
