Never been much into rabbits or anything but this trailer is for some crazy Japanese animation series called Cat Shit One, with a group of commando bunnies get hardcore and mean business. These bunnies are pretty bad ass and definitely nothing like my guy Bun Bun!!

Don’t ask me why but I love this series already and wish I knew what they were saying!!!

cod4-screen

Besides beating people and winning money doing it on http://www.worldgaming.com/ there are a lot of different benefits that playing videogames gives you. You might not believe me but the smarty pants over at Nature Neuroscience have published a study, showing that video game training may help people improve contrast sensitivity, or the ability to differentiate between shades of gray.

See Mom, videos games do pay outside of playing on the site!!

Between the two groups that were used, the most improvement was found in the people who played games which required precise, visually guided aiming actions, like Call of Duty 2 and Unreal Tournament.

Soooooooo…now that we’ve established that the Xbox can be part of a healthy lifestyle, it would be irresponsible of us not to play it more often. So get on WorldGaming and start kicking ass!!!!!

1st screens from Madden ‘10

 madden-10

I’m well aware that the first screens from Madden 2010 came out  3days ago on Peter Moore’s blog and that this story has been up on the EA blog for 2 days, but I’m a busy guy so give me a break! I wanted to read the whole inside scoop before I comented on it since it’s a lot of information to read.

To sum it up in a nutshell, it’s all about Depth of Field as they call it, DOF. It allows them to make the screen shots better and more clear, as to give us a better looking game. This fascinates the hell out of me because I had to play a game of Madden 08 last week to run a test, no joke. When I did I was absolutely florred at how bad the game looked. I couldn’t even believe that it was only a year removed, I swear I called 3 people to look at it becuase I didn’t believe what my eyes were seeing.

So to read this piece makes total sense now! It’s amazing how much they are advancing the game, it’s going to make winning head-to-head games and multiplayer Madden tournaments that much easier for people on www.worldgaming.com in the future!!

I know it’s long, but this is well worth the read!!

boxed-water

The first time I came to Toronto and saw milk in a bag I lost it. I was totally freaked out. I couldn’t imagine drining milk that didn’t come in a carton. I never thought I’d see a beverage come in a stranger packagining…until now!!

Everyone knows that milk and juices come boxed in the grocery stores, so one company thought it would be a good idea to now sell boxed water.

Boxed Water Is Better sells water in cartons, which obviously gets rid of the plastic bottles while reducing the overall carbon footprint of packing and distribution by 80% and 20% of the company’s profits are passed along to reforestation (10%) and water relief (10%) while you sip on the sweet hydrogen/oxygen nectar of Minnesota and a few parts per billion of paper.

Listen, I’m not debating that Boxed Water is more eco friendly than bottled water, but this whole things is just stupid and insane. How will this help open a new market for H2o and close one using plastic?

It’s more crazy than people buying bottled water when you can drink it for free out of the tap!!!

how cool is this xbox?!?!?

Posted in: Gaming, No Comments »

 blue-360

 
This blue Xbox 360 is so cool I want to soil my pants at how excited I get looking at it!! It’s got twice the RAM (1GB) of a stock 360 but of course, it’s only made for developers.

To which I say hook a brotha up at WorldGaming.com since we’re extending self life for your games!!

This Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s latest 360 development kit and its main feature, other than running test code from burned discs, is that it has double the memory of a stock 360

So it looks totally sweet, runs burned discs and might even speed through menus with a bit more ease. Which leads me to ask…how much would you pay for a system liek that?

I’m just going to start the bidding at $400…

homeless-cellphone

I read the Washingoton Post for a few reasons.

1. Kornheiser and Wilbon write for them and they’re the best!

2. If I really want to know what’s going on in Washington, what better place to get the info than there

And when I was reading it online this morning during breakfast, I came across this crazy story in the Washington Post today about how 30-45 percent of D.C. homeless people have cellphones, and how they’re essential to their way of life.

Who would have known?

The Post talks to several homeless people and advocates, but Chris, a recovering crack addict, probably has most the stereotype-busting story of all. He works various entry-level jobs and keeps his homelessness a secret from employers (for obvious reasons), but lost a job at a Verizon call center last year when his boss couldn’t reliably get in touch with him. Now that he has a cellphone, employers can call him anytime they need an extra hand, and he’s even been promoted at one of his jobs, despite being homeless.

Others use the phones to keep up with food stamps and various appointments or to take pictures. You’de also lose you mind if you saw how many homeless busted out their cells to take pictures when Michelle Obama worked a soup kitchen (pic above). 

But it doesn’t end there. The real kicker is that a bunch of them blog as well with blogs hosted at Streats.tv.

It really is a fascinating story and who knows, maybe it will change the way you look at the homeless.

jennifer-aniston_john-mayer

Normally this story would be totally irrelevant to me and it’s probably not even true but it involves Twitter so I had to post it after what I went through this weekend. Levy made me sign up for Twitter this past weekend because he did so he wouldn’t stop talking about it and hounding me to do it. I was basically held in friendship ransom, as he wouldn’t talk about anything else until I signed up, so I did to shut him the hell up!

Then I read this today and had to pass it along… 

“This heart didn’t come with instructions,” is what my boy John Mayer Twittered after Jennifer Aniston supposedly dumped him over the phone.

Reason being? He twittered too much. I’m telling you and have told everyone for years…John Mayer is the man!!

Guy didn’t have time to call, text or write her and just told her “I’ve been so busy with work” when Aniston called him up. Essentially saying “Listen, if you want to know what I’m doing, check out my Twitter page!”

What a guy! If this is true (and I’m not saying it is) then maybe the fact that he’s now single will give him more time to bang out Tweets from his BlackBerry and hang out with smokin hot chicks!

New Feature: Skill Rating System

We understand that our users want as much accurate information about their opponent’s skill as possible. In response to this we have implemented a variant of TrueSkill™ to calculate your skill on a game-by-game basis which is relative to other players who play the same game on WorldGaming.com. The rating scale is 0-10, is updated at the completion of every game, but displays as “NR” (Not Rated) until 5 games have been played through WorldGaming.com.

Note to self: if you want to stage your own death and pretend you are dead, don’t go out to Lil Wayne concert dressed like it was 1993 when you were at the top of the game. I guess that would explain how Tupac releases an album every couple of years and makes huge sales without the headache of touring because the guy is a legend, when in reality, he’s just kickin’ it on an Island somewhere with a bunch of chicks and other celebrities who staged their own death to get out of the limelight.

Gotta love these conspiracy theories about dead celebrities because people hate admitting that a guy who touched them through song, or after a concert, is dead.

I thought this was worth posting, it probably isn’t, but I mean, what really is worth posting since everything involving celebs pretty much sucks, except for maybe the Jonas Brothers…they’re hot!!
