This week’s topic focuses on gamers! Weeee! Or Wii.
Either way. :B The Wii Laptop was introduced this week – not by
Nintendo but by the guys over at engadget.com. Soon, it says
they’ll have instructions on how to build one yourself, but I do
wonder what the heck you can do with a WiiTop. I doubt that’s going
to be allowed on planes. ;)
For those of you who like Guitar Hero (ZOMG WHO DOESN’T??!), Joe
introduced us to
this nifty article about hacking the game to get some friggin’
awesome custom songs from bands such as AC/DC, Journey,
Dragonforce, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Ok Go, Rufio, System of a
Down, and even Tenacious D! Unfortunately for me, it’s not as
“idiot proof” as they say, ‘cause it sounds effin’ harrrrd man. But
well worth the time I think if you’ve got it!
And for more news on Guitar Hero II, Neversoft
is apparently taking over production of Guitar Hero III. This
is big news for nerds, though I have no idea why Harmonix (who did
both I & II) won’t be doing the third installment. It’s a huge
success, so why push it elsewhere? Well, either way, the people who
developed Tony Hawk Pro Skater will be handling GH3, and that
probably means – better songs!!! Tony Hawk’s always got
the most amazing soundtrack ever.
And no gamer list would be complete without a bit of World of
Warcraft. So here are the
Top 10 WoW Exploits. Nerds unite!
And to wrap up this week’s Favs, it appears “Playing
video games can satisfy deep psychological needs and…improve
people’s well-being”. See mom, I told you it would be
good for your health to be able to make it past the flying fish
bridge in Mario Brothers!
