• On Contest: aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm Clock at 08/24 02:34am
  The feature I'm looking for as best: Waking up feeling rested without that "beautiful" morning face, and avoid the strange looks and questions I get for the bloodshot red eyes that denounces my sudden wake up in the middle of my dreams... something I just had to face half an hour ago. Oh, thanks for the contest guys! I usually don't take part in those, but if aXbo does everything it promises too, it's ironically the alarm clock of my dreams. xD

  ROFL, while yeah, it looks ridiculous and the guy sounds like an asshat, I can totally sympathize with that. It's pretty clear the guy is good, and for some reason that I think will still make a good study analysis, the better player you are on certain games, the more enraged you'll get for failing in it. I know it sounds kinda obvious, but really, it's kinda unnatural. I have first hand experience with that on Counter Strike... I mean, I'm not a pro or nothing like that, but after several years playing, I'm pretty average. So what happens is: Whenever I'm on a bad playing day, I really get mad. Not to the point of breaking my LCD screen, but almost almost there... I broke a mouse and keyboard already. Something that never happens while playing new games, even when they are FPSs. And overall, I'm a really contained person, so I dunno what triggers all that rage. :P I'm sorta surprized with myself when it happens.

• On If Super Mario Land was Released on the SNES at 07/04 03:02am
  The post came out kinda confusing... I'll make a complete post about this on my blog later on, but for people curious about this video, the fanmade game is called Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, and it mixes tons of different games with a modified Mario gameplay. It's pretty awesome. Amont the games on the cross over are: Halo, Zelda, Metal Slug, Ghouls and Ghosts, Sonic and some others.

  Wait. Are they really retractable?

  The video isn't bad... but it's kinda hard to beat the Blue Man Group: http://xspblog.com/2009/05/30/blue-thousand-and-one/

  Wonder how hard is parking that thing... other than that, looking great!

  Swear this is only a coincidence, but just today I published a post written a couple of days ago compiling several different Mario versions: http://xspblog.com/2009/05/16/clap-your-hands-say-mario/

• On Rubik's Cube Clock at 05/05 09:31am
  Looks crappishly cheap... but meh, beggars can't be choosers. If I was behind the design though, the top part would be at least shaped as individual cubes and the display would at least have a 3-cube shaped design (with red leds display).

  LOL, I'm considering this is a joke... But if it isn't, Professor Himonya will display what I'd do with his card: http://xspblog.com/2009/01/15/how-to-make-people-angry-merciless/
• On eBay Watch: Rare NES The Legend of Zelda Test Cartridge Selling for $1299.99 at 03/22 08:11am
  Everytime I see a Zelda cartridge I go back to remembering how I sold my golden Zelda cartridge and my Zelda 2 cartridge for almost nothing... GAH
• On Elecom Scope Node Mouse at 03/18 4:17pm
  The design is awesome, but the precision thing by replacing where the sensor is fails me... I mean, it's not like the mouse has any moving parts for that to matter... But I'd like to try that on ergonomics...
• On Street Fighter: Future Cops - The Worst Street Fighter Movie Ever? at 03/17 3:39pm
  I'm not so shure I'll agree with "worst"... The video is out of synch, obviously. But for this movie credit, at least they tried to keep the special moves, and it doesn't seem they were trying to make a serious movie about it. Kinda like that Jackie Chan movie: http://xspblog.com/2008/10/14/jackie-chan-street-fighter/ OR, if they were, at least it was Hong Kong... Hollywood has no excuse for giving birth to that abortion called Street Fighter The Movie.
• On Holo TV Becomes Reality at 03/12 6:47pm
  Well, being from Brazil and all, I must say the folks at Campinas University are in dire need of a better cameraman and english spokesperson... That apart, very interesting stuff. But the video really doesn't give an idea of the whole system...
• On Sony's PlayStation 3 Infomercial at 03/06 5:04pm
  Actually, there are a long series of ads made to display Playstation 3 potential... some of them are about high def, others for the cell processor, others about real time rendering capabilities. And don't get me wrong. My console of choice for this gen is the Playstation 3. But those ads are WAAAAY too overhyped. Most of them show "potential" only, which proves nothing. The problem is that people get so hyped about potential that ends up forgetting that good games are not about rendering a million raindrops in a unique way, or having an Artificial Intelligence that makes people think they are playing with other people... games are about having fun, about having a good plot and a nice playability. And IMHO, this is exactly why when you ask several gamers, no matter what platform they chose, lots and lots of them will say their consoles are collecting dust for a long time.

  ROFL, why you guys used the parody video instead of the real one?
