Straight out of the Golden Age of JRPGs, the blessed 2nd Generation of the Consoles, the Super Nintendo Epoch, comes one of my all time galactic favorites, Chrono Trigger. This game represents everything right with the genre; epic storyline, sprawling side quests, multiple endings dependent on choice, well-formed characters (except for Chrono), it has it all. Too bad it's not on Android yet. Oh well, that's what emulators are for.

The Drunk Canucks of BlackBerry
Drunk RIM employees ground flight to Beijing, fined $71,000
Topping off their year of crap sales, failed products, embarrassing network failures, and all around apathetic buisness practises, comes RIM's new reputation as drunk assholes who ruin your uberexpensive transcontinental flight. Get your act together dudes!

A Very 360 Christmas, and a 720 New Year
Xbox 360 Just Had Its Biggest Week Ever
I think its safe to say that in the grueling guerilla conflict known as the 6th Console War, the Xbox 360 has found itself dominating the wartorn nation of gaming. It wasn't an easy victory, but Microsoft's boys pulled off a win thanks in no small part to raw ingenuity, inspiring power, and sucking just a little less than the competition. Happy Holidays!

Ubuntu and Vodacom FTW!!!
ARM-powered Ubuntu 'Webbook" Launches in South Africa
I like Ubuntu. I dont know why. Maybe because its open source. Maybe cause its African. Who knows? Actually I think it is cause its African. Since when have we gotten anything cool from African since the Lion King, and that doesnt really count cause it was made by Honkie Gringos. I think it would be an uber indie statement to rock a sweet open source African operating system. Maybe they will actually put it on a decent computer instead of a net-tard. And when are they gonna finish that god damned Ubuntu Mobile (Kubuntu)?
And then there was X...
Featured: Top 5 “Special” Features of Galaxy Nexus
This thing is looking hella sexy. I might just take it out to dinner and try to get my hands on its processor. I would NOT be a gentlemen. Eat this article and enjoy, I dont have much to comment on pure awesomeness, it speaks for itself...

Pandas that wont go extinct
Blizzard Announces 4th WoW Expansion: Mists of Pandaria
Pandarians are cool. I dont know why but they are. Ever since they appeared on the WoW scene they have been begging for some more content on the furry bastards. Where are they from? What do they do? What do their sex organs look like? Do Pandarian woman have breasts like Human women even though Panda women dont, and is that wrong?
Ive always been a fan of the Warcraft Universe. Blizzard has the power to make fanatasy both innovative and new, while at the same time being familiar. Lets hope they never screw the pooch.

How do you do that Hulu that you do so well
Hulu Plus coming to 3DS and Wii, handheld getting 3D video capture
http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/21/hulu-plus-coming-to-3ds-and-wii-handheld-getting-3d-video-captu/
I don't know why but this whole 3D shtick makes me uneasy. Am I the only one who notices that images dont really look three dementional! They just look super imposed on a background like Paper Mario. And thats just if they work. I saw Tron: Legacy in 3D, I never even noticed if it was 3D or not, and the fucking glasses gave me a headache. Plus Im sure weve all heard about the Nintendo 3DS and how if you play it too long you go blind and gay or something. This is not progress!
I feel like I'm in the fucking 90s and it's “Virtual Reality” all of again. Remember that crap. It was supposed to be the next big thing, but turns out the technology doesnt exist and every pale attempt either doesn't work or is total bullshit. I you learned a lesson from the Virtual Boy, Nintendo. Tisk Tisk.
Anyway, Hulu Plus on your 3DS, wonderful. Too bad you have to pay for it! I can watch Hulu for free on my computer, and I can watch that way longer than the 3DS before I get a headache.
This whole 3DS just seems like a bad idea that no one informed its creators about. It just seems like a supped up DS with a lame gimmick that everyone hates. I really hope they just scrap this 3D idea altogether. Admit defeat, and go back to working on touch screen stuff. I have a feeling the Playstation Vita is going to come on the scene like rock star and just curb stomp Nintendo's profits. Than maybe everyone will see I was right, which is all I care about.
I would like to play Star Fox though...
Anyhow, the Wii getting Hulu I like a bit more. Our lil Double-Gamecube looks to be going the way of its bigger, fatter brothers by becoming a mass entertainment console. I can dig it. Pretty soon we wont need to pay for cable anymore, cause we will have all the TV we want to see on our game bricks. And no commercials!!! (well, less commercials)
After all Ive pissed on 3D in my rant do I really need to talk about the 3D video capture. I have personally never seen one good god damn application of 3D. Will they please stopped trying to convince us otherwise! I dont wanna pay 55 bucs for a pair of stupid looking nerd glasses.
Than again, there may come a day when Im shown I was wrong. I would certainly love for 3D to become as awesome as we hoped VR would have been. Maybe we're finally ready... or not. Whatever.
