Please, don’t try this at home. Or better yet – please do!

Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey and Gallop Racer, one of the new games line up that’s came from Tecmo Koei for Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, will have everyone laughing. At you.

We’ve used our new Kinect at home briefly, due to time constraints with our end-of-the-year schedule coming to a complete state of fullness, but we have had fun nonetheless; mostly at how wacky we look playing the games. This one is no different.

If you think this game is just a joke, think again, and watch the video!

So – pass or try?

I canceled my Netflix after their 60% rate hike last night – yesterday was the start of a new billing cycle, and that’s when my $10 became $16 (more like $17-something after tax).

So what if I like to get a DVD every few days? I can actually grab a newer movie that Netflix doesn’t place on their streaming service, and not have to deal with the stupid bandwidth ever-changing and making it look as if I’m watching a VHS tape from the 1970s.

I checked out the Hulu Plus service for the free trial week, and we ended up watching like 4 hours of Dog the Bounty Hunter. I’m considering not signing up for the monthly membership, simply due to Linda’s ability to watch some of the stupidest shows around, in a non-stop intelligence-lowering chain.

But since Hulu also has an app on my iPhone, and i have my new Vizio tablet, which is the only tablet with Hulu installed, is still worth having? We don’t have a cable television service at home; it’s streaming, or whatever movies we have stacked around.

What do you think? Do you subscribe to Hulu, or know people who enjoy paying for the service? I loved Hulu back when it was free, and I was single, with oodles of more time on my hands.

I always want to force people to watch this stupid video on Fridays, but since she cried on and on and had the video blocked on YouTube, it’s increasingly difficult to find.

Until now. When I put it on my site, bwahaha!

I want to thank the studio for making this available to the public. They can contact me if they have any problems.

Also, I’ve located some comical photos, which I shall now place into this blog!   Read the rest of this entry » Which seat did Rebecca Bl...

I’m starting to see random stories regarding this, and as funny as it is, I’m throwing up a blog article as well.

A team of American researchers have produced a range of scenarios in which aliens could attack the earth, and curiously, one revolves around climate change. They speculate that extraterrestrial environmentalists could be so appalled by our planet-polluting ways that they view us as a threat to the intergalactic ecosystem and decide to destroy us. Maybe NASA believes that the little green men really are green – one of its scientists has collaborated on a report suggesting that the Earth’s rising levels of greenhouse gases could provoke an alien attack.  Read the rest of this entry » Aliens will “save&#...

Will Brett Favre play a 21st season in the NFL? Will he renounce his retirement yet again? Which team will he play for?

No, Brett Favre hasn’t announced a comeback bid. His retirement papers are still filed and documented. Heck, he hasn’t said a single word about any potential interest in returning, and realistically, he probably won’t. However, thanks to NFL.com’s Gil Brandt, the speculation has begun again and a 2011 Favre Watch has been fueled. However, let’s just pretend here for a moment, shall we, and take a look at potential landing spots if Brett does in fact return. With the current NFL Lockout pushing things back and creating a major disadvantage for rookie quarterbacks, it only makes sense for Favre speculation to be making waves. Here are some teams that would be smart to at least consider adding a veteran quarterback:  Read the rest of this entry » Favre Frenzy is on!

I have not been a Lady Gaga song fan for a year or two now. Partially it’s because she is stealing borrowing her songs from other artists (Ace of Base, Madonna, etc). Some of it is that her creativity is walking off the cliff into oddity and weirdness. This song, “Born This Way”,  I especially cannot stand. Not because of the meaning behind the lyrics, but rather the repetitiveness of the entire song, taken from.. well.. read my other post. ;)

In April 2011, Yankovic reported that Lady Gaga refused him permission to release “Perform This Way”, which he hoped to use as the lead single for his upcoming album. Yankovic had originally sent the request to parody the song to Gaga’s manager, who responded that they would need to see his lyrics to make an assessment. Yankovic was touring in Australia at the time, and hastily created the lyrics for approval. Yankovic further stated that Gaga’s management further insisted on reviewing a recorded version of the song, and he had cut a family vacation short to turn the recorded version around. Ultimately, he was told that she refused to allow for the parody. Yankovic had considered the song key to his Alpocalypse album, but due to the rejection, he had begun the process to postpone its release until he could record a new song to take the place of “Perform This Way”.

I recall playing Duke Nukem 3D oh-so-many-years-ago. I’d dial-up and go at it with my best friend at the time, until wee hours of the morning. We had the cool game pad controllers, similar to those of a Sega Genesis, that plugged into the sound card. I typically won, he’d say that I cheated though.

After more than 15 years of waiting, Duke Nukem Forever has arrived in the U.S. ”June 14 in North America will forever be celebrated as the day that the legendary Duke Nukem Forever went from video game folklore to earth-shattering reality,” Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K Games, the title’s publisher, said in a statement. “For 15 years, fans have waited in limbo just yearning to hear those two little lovely words strung together–now available.”

I first saw  this story from another site. Everything about Debrahlee Lorenzana is hot. Even her name sizzles. At five-foot-six and 125 pounds, with soft eyes and flawless bronze skin, she is J.Lo curves meets Jessica Simpson rack meets Audrey Hepburn elegance, a head-turning beauty.

In many ways, the story of her life has been about getting attention from men, both the wanted and the unwanted kind. But when she got fired last summer from her job as a banker at a Citibank branch in Midtown, her bosses cited her work performance, she got even hotter. She sued Citigroup, claiming that she was fired solely because her bosses thought she was too hot.

This is the way Debbie Lorenzana tells it: Her bosses told her they couldn’t concentrate on their work because her appearance was too distracting. They ordered her to stop wearing turtlenecks. She was also forbidden to wear pencil skirts, three-inch heels, or fitted business suits. Lorenzana, a 33-year-old single mom, pointed out female colleagues whose clothing was far more revealing than hers: “They said their body shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention,” she says. As Lorenzana’s lawsuit puts it, her bosses told her that “as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly ‘too distracting’ for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear.”

Oh, how we never get enough of Ah-nold!

Ex-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his return to movies last week, saying a film version of his much-publicized cartoon project The Governator is in the works. “First will come (The Governator) comic books, then a (cartoon) TV series and after that we will develop the games and then a movie,” Schwarzenegger told a packed room of international journalists at global TV market MipTV in Cannes. “Maybe then we’ll be back in Cannes for that.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger says his new animated TV venture features a “superheroic guy” who gets things done — without constraints like laws to thwart his action.

“I think that a lot of times you can actually do more and accomplish more being outside of the system,” the muscle man-turned-Hollywood hunk-turned-California governor told The Associated Press in an interview Monday.

It’s worked for Microsoft with their Kinect unit, why not with Google?

It’s a new way to communicate. The mouse and keyboard were invented before the Internet even existed. Since then, countless technological advancements have allowed for much more efficient human computer interaction. Why then do we continue to use outdated technology? Introducing Gmail Motion — now you can control Gmail with your body.

Gmail Motion uses your computer’s built-in webcam and Google’s patented spatial tracking technology to detect your movements and translate them into meaningful characters and commands. Movements are designed to be simple and intuitive for people of all skill levels.

Read more about it here! It’s the best April First since.. well.. since last year, probably.
