All three console makers have had their time in the spotlight at E3. There were tons of game announcements and new hardware announcements.
Real brief, Nintendo’s presentation sucked, a few new games but nothing exciting. They announced the Wii motion plus, blah blah blah…. in general it sucked.
PS3, had a few new game announcements, and a few exclusives that looked awesome. They had a Wiimote like motion controller. But the biggies for them were MAG and God Of War 3. Mag looked amazing in all its 128 vs 128 fps. And the visuals for GOW3 of course looked stunning.
But definetly, by far the Xbox 360 team were the clear cut winners at this years conference. They came up with Project Natal, the new wireless controller that has been around since the dawn of time. That controller being you! That’s right folks, you no longer need a plastic controller and be able to quickly push buttons, because you use your entire body as the controller. The system has a full body motion sensor that will mimic what you do in your living room, on screen. Amazing right! Check out these links to view it in action!
But wait, after that announcement, the team over at Xbox invited Lionhead’s Peter Molyneux to demo what they have created with Project Natal.
This is where shit just gets insane. Watch this video….
Molyneux demoed a human interacting with a computer generated character, named Milo, using Project Natal’s technology. That’s right interacting! Milo recognized the person, conversed with her, even read off a piece of paper that she had written on!
When we were growing, up we all had dreams of becoming something really cool when we were older. There were some of us that wanted to be doctors, astronauts, a sports icon, and even the first black president. We all had dreams, and of course we changed our minds every now and then.
Here is what I wanted to be:
7-7:30 – Scrooge McDuck 7:30-8 – Inspector Gadget 8-8:30 – Captain Keith, Commander of Voltron (Black Lion) 8:30-9 – Any of the My Little Pony Ghostbusters crew 9-9:30 – Grumpy Smurf 9:30-10 – Michelangelo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 10-10:30 – Spiderman 10:30-11 – Superman 11-11:30 – Zack Morris
Lunch
3:30-4 – Snake from G.I. Joe 4-4:30 – Optimus Prime 4:30-5 – He-Man 5:30-6 – Lion-O from Thundercats 6-6:30 – Samantha Micelli’s boyfriend
Dinner
5:00-7:00 – Hulk Hogan 7:30-8 – Denise Huxtable’s boyfriend 8:00-9:00 – “Face” from The A Team
This years E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) is fast approaching and is highly anticipated. We expect great announcements from the three major console developers regarding new exclusive titles and hotly anticipated sequels to some of the greatest games of the past few years…COD anyone?…
But that’s not why I am particularly excited about this years E3 expo. What I’m really looking forward to is a rematch to determine the true King of Kong. Steve Wiebe is headed to Los Angeles to take back his crown. What am I talking about you ask? King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, a very impressive documentary about arcade-dwelling video game lovers after the “Donkey Kong” world record. The doc follows Billy Mitchell and his out-of-nowhere challenger Steve Wiebe, who is attempting to top Mitchell’s all time high score in DK. This record is the video game equivalent of Joe DiMaggio’s “unbeatable” consecutive games hitting streak. It all sounds very nerdy and you might be put off by this, but skipping this documentary would be an epic fail.
The battle for DK supremacy is only the story behind the story. What is really entertaining about the documentary is the fierce competition among these classic video game players captured in a comedic epic. The doc captures fear and heroism, tears and jeers, all in a running time of apx 80 mins. The truth is if you don’t play at all, you may find yourself enjoying the film more than any gamer. You will get all the laughs minus the cringing self-recognition.
The battle between these two gaming giants is put together is a “Rocky” formula, where you can’t help but root for the underdog and hate the antagonist. The doc is a reminder of how we all have to prove ourselves to others, and the extent to which the odds are stacked against newbs and outsiders. Seth Gordon put together a documentary that will infuriate and exhilarate you at the same time.
Go watch this masterpiece, then join me in rooting for Wee-bee!
Privacy in this digital world is very important to us all. We have files on our hard drive that we don’t want anyone else knowing about. If you’re using a common PC used by the whole family, you can still maintain that privacy.
There are many ways to “hide” folders, but most require you to install software, which could then be spotted by someone. You could go and get encryption software but who wants to go through all that technical stuff. I want to show you a simple trick in Windows that you can use to actually hide files inside of JPG files! You can hide any type of file including: txt, exe, avi, mp3, or any other file type. And you can hide as many files as you want under the same JPG file.
In order for you to be able to do this you’re going to need either Winzip or WinRAR. Search Google you will find them. Now follow these steps:
Create a new folder in your root directory and name it “test", C:\test
Now put all the files that you want to hide into that folder In that “test” folder highlight and select the files you want to hide. Only select the files you want to hide, and not the picture file.
Right-click on them and choose the option to add them to a Zip or RAR file, and name it “secret.rar” or “secret.zip” depending on which compression you are using. You should now have a folder that contains your original JPG file, your original files you wanted to hide, and the new “secret” compressed file.
Now this is where it gets a little tricky if you aren’t careful.
Open the command prompt by going to Start then Run and type in “CMD” without the quotes then press Enter.
The command prompt window should now be open. Type in CD\ then hit Enter to get to the root directory of your hard drive
Type in CD and the directory name, in this case, CD test, then press Enter
Then type in copy /b IMG0001.jpg + secret.rar IMG0001.jpg
Make sure the file extension names are correct as you do have to type the entire file name with extension in the command. then press Enter Also place the JPG file that you want to use into that same folder
That should be it! Your folder with all the files in it will look no different, but if you check the properties of the JPG file, you will see that the file size is bigger. It has increased by the same amount as the total size of the archive.
Now when you want to extract the files out of the JPG file just right click on it and Open With either WinRAR or WinZip.
So go ahead and hide all your porn so that your little sister doesn’t come across something and find out what DVDA stands for!
