How much is too much for Xbox’s highly anticipated motion tracking system, Project Natal?

According to Edge, Project Natal will be available in October for a whopping price of $149.

Dude.. I could buy a Best Buy refurbished Xbox 360 for that much! Add another $50 and I could buy a brand new console with 2 games!

With Sony’s PS3 Move promising to be less than $100, what’s your deal, Microsoft? Why so steep?

If you’re tired of watching your favorite TV shows on your small screen computer or laptop, then boy does Google have a solution for you!

But wait, Google! I have a solution for everybody!



It’s simple:

I call it, ‘Get a large screen monitor that plugs into your computer!’

And, I already have all my favorite shows added to one place:

…so I don’t need anything else!

Seriously though. Is all this really necessary?

This is holy grail of all the Star Wars posters. It combines the bad assness of every movie into one gigantic cluster of awesome. For the remainder of Star Wars Day, it is highly recommended that your wallpaper be set to this or any other Star Wars themed desktop background to honor the greatest saga of all time. Thanks. That is all.

[Thanks to Drew, who has his desktop background set to Jar Jar Binks smiling.]

This is a video of a chick that totally nails the plot of Star Wars without even having seen the movie. It’s unbelievable! Talk about one in a million! It’s like she has psychelepathy or something!

Okay not really. This animated movie is the Star Wars plot, narrated by a girl who has never seen the movie and couldn’t be farther from being correct. It’s pretty funny, but really, it just makes me want to glue some headphones playing Weird Al Yankovic’s – The Saga Begins to her ears. That’ll teach her right!

Star Wars Plot Retold By A Girl Who Hasn’t Seen It is a post from: That Girl is a Geek!

Idea factory is creating a game for Japanese Xbox 360 owners where you’ll create and design your very own virtual wife. In the game, My Wife: A Bride Just For You, you’ll be able to customize your wife by choosing her looks, voice & personality and then start playing as virtual newlyweds. Weeird.

I don’t know how I feel about this idea seeing as how in Fable, I always cheated or got sick of my wives. I’d take them to the Hobbe Caves & let the Hobbes have at her so my purity level wouldn’t go down! Amiright or amiright or AMIRIGHT?!?! I just see this game getting boring, very fast, OR, I see extremely weird people playing it and ending up with unrealistic standards of women or some ridiculous ass relationship guidelines. Either way, I think those games are best left to the imagination and not on Xbox.

Don’t try this at home. But if you do, wear goggles and take a YouTube video.

This is why science is awesome.

But seriously. Be careful.

If there are two games in this world that I’ve spent waaaaaaaaaay too much time on, it’s definitely gotta be:

1. Farmville

& 2. Bejeweled Blitz

Ohh Facebook, what a ridiculous gaming goldmine you are!

Facebook games are all the rage right now. So much so, that some game apps have even started going mobile! That’s right! Imagine having Farmville on your iPhone or Andriod!

All day you’ll be.. “Harvestin’ crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), and plowing crops (*LIKE A BOSS*), at the store (*LIKE A BOSS*), or in the lot (*LIKE A BOSS*)..” -OK that’s enough!

Now seriously, with the amount of time needed to play these games and because they are less rewarding than working in a Bangladeshi sweat shop, is this craze really worth getting into?

Here’s some responses:

“i love some but others are just cheap knockoffs of popuar ones. The best one is Mindjolt games, they offer a smorgasborg of interesting and old-skool games” – C Los Oliver

“I’ve got Wow & Bioshock. I don’t need no stinkin’ Facebook games!” – sailortweek

“Mafia Wars on Facebook. Love it.” – MyGGGo

“farmville, an mafia wars, tiki resort, cafe world, yovile” – Bradley Brigham

“I play ones like mafia and castle age, but the biggest problem is that they are down so much I just go back to my psp or ds.” – Nick Enderle

“I like only one of them. Starfleet Commander Extreme. It takes skill and it is a a fun game where you can get to know others and just have a fun time. It takes a about a week for you to get built up but once you are it is sweet.” – Jacob Gerber

“facebook games are an indicator of your friends becoming housewives or a stay at home mom (Farmville), M.Wars = bored at work” – DiscoParty

“HATE them! Spams up the timeline and people need to move on and play decent games like on the wii haha” – ER_nut

Annnnd the winner!!
“they arnt games though, there more like ” to keep you on the computer longer while u sit and wait for another comment or message” kinda games lolol although my father loves farmville.lol” – Scott Mathews

What I think: Facebook games are time eaters. They pollute my feed and are addictive enough to make me stay on the computer for the entire day. (Pshaw, pretending like I don’t already!) I say this as a recovering farmer who was incredibly obsessed with Farmville! I had to delete my Farmville after I reached level 41 because I felt that it was getting out of hand. Luckily, I never wasted a penny on the game, but just believe me when I tell you to STAY CLEAR of ADDICTIVE FACEBOOK GAMES! They will consume your life and you deserve better!!!

The rumored iPhone 4G has been talked about for months and months, but we’ve never heard much about it …until now!

Some idiot apparently left the unreleased brand-spanking-new iPhone 4G model at a bar in Redwood City, California. If hes not kicking himself in the ass right now, I bet Apple is!

What do you think of the iPhone 4G’s sleek look?
