DIE EVIL GHOSTS IN MY ROOM!! DIE!!!!!!!

Product Site

Okay seriously, whoever came up with this product is a GENIUS. A LIGHTSABER NIGHTLIGHT?!?!?!?! There is not one thing about that sentence that doesn’t make perfect sense! Why didn’t I think of that! I must have one, but they are only available for pre-order right now. Being that I’m terrified of the dark (side) I don’t know how long I can make it. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope!

CHILLIN IN MAH DETH BED! .. COUGHIN TERROR IN MAH BEDROOMZ!

Jill here! Really though, I am Bronchitisaurus.
I have bronchitis and a dinosaur roar for a cough. THE PLAGUE HAS TAKEN OVER! Damn you, PAX! Seriously, I’ve heard rumors but … what the hell, man? I’ve been so sick I’ve hardly had a grip on typing or even just using my computer in general! I’m always second guessing myself, ‘is it the sickness doing this or is this really me?’ I never know.

I wanted to bring up the fact that today was April Fools. Yes, Tara pulled a prank to which a few of you didn’t understand and probably still think remains true. Shoot, *personally* I think Jason and Tyler are some dang sexy alias’s if I don’t mind sayin so myself. I think I should make a blog where Tara and I secretly pose as those identities and be the secret writers behind their images. (….or ya know..like not.) Anyways, if you guys didn’t get the joke, I would seriously reconsider & second guess everything you’ve heard today if I were you. (The Indian Halo movie on IGN IS NOT REAL, Lindsay Lohan did not die and Conan apparently is only semi-tired as he revealed on his twitter.)

Me however, I DO NOT DO APRIL FOOLS! IT IS A NASTY AWFUL HOLIDAY THAT TORTURES ME EVERY YEAR! I’ve been disappointed 3 separate times today. Two of which were by ThinkGeek.com!
The iPad Arcade Case:

& the Dharma Initiative Clock

What’s most embarrassing about these incidents is that I didn’t even find out that they were April Fools jokes til I actually tried to BUY one of them! The Dharma Initiative Clock was too good to be true! (*Sigh*) … Though, there is a chance that they will actually make these items, I’m kinda hoping they wont make the iCade. I don’t want to have to buy an iPad and that thing.. is just *way* too cute for me to pass up!

Alrighty then, back to chillinz in mah deathbedz! Glad April Fools is over, hope you all had a good one! Rest easy and I hope all my PAX peeps start feelin better!

Once your done scribbling, press: “CLICK HERE TO SPIN YOUR STRINGS”

VOILA! Amaaaaaazeballs!

Oh internet, how I love thee.

This video from the Engaget Show really makes me do a double take on the type of fun we could have with PS3’s Move. As previously thought, the PS3 Move controller just looks like a fancy Wii-mote with a colorful ball on the top. Now getting a real and genuine look at it from this Engaget video, I’m really starting to get excited! The controller displayed on the TV is transformed by the user into fun objects such as a sword or a mallet and used for gameplay. It reminds me of  animated meets live-action movies, kind of like a ‘Who Framed Rodger Rabbit,’ only staring yourself!

What would YOU transform your remote into?
I think I’d want King Triton’s Trident from Kingdom Hearts and use it to defeat my foes! Or use it as a fork to feed a monster friend! :o)

You may remember our post awhile back about the Nintendo DS with motion tracking:

Welp, now it has been officially announced that Nintendo will be releasing the Nintendo 3DS (a 3-D handheld console without the need for 3-D glasses) before the end of March 2011 and after June of 2010. Wow. REEEAL specific! Way to narrow it down there guys!

I can’t wait for it. It looks amazing!

Little Big Planet 2 has officially been confirmed by Sony! Also revealed to us is that the game will support PS3’s new motion tracking device ‘Move.’

Hmm.. sounds a bit unnecessary and slightly ‘Wii wannabe-ish’ to me. What do YOU think about “movin” with Little Big Planet 2?

I honestly cant think of what I’d add to this picture to make it any sweeter!

Batman with a lightsaber, riding a shark, while fighting it all at the same time. ZO EM GEE. Where can I hang this in my house?

Gears of War 3 is rumored to be coming April 2011 with the first teaser trailer to be released as early as next month. Do we believe our ears? This information comes from a “trusted US publishing source” from Edge. The game also is rumored to have a full reveal at E3 in June.

“Microsoft’s keen to avoid a clash with Halo: Reach and wants Natal to own Christmas. That’s why we won’t be seeing Gears of War 3 until next year, but expect a major marketing push ahead of its release,” the source said. Via IGN

The wait for Gears of War 3 might be a lot shorter than we thought! But it depends if this source is legitimate and not lying to us. They should know that I’ve killed people for less! DONT TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS YOU FOOL! YOU EVIL SOURCE-…RER! Hah! See what I did there?! ehhh? EHH? I’m so cool…. *worried smile*
