Rollin’ on dubs. Shootin’ up some thugs. Eating cupcakes. Gangsta. Pure gangsta. Represent.
If I owned a car or knew how to cook, my ride would be fully-stocked with these Car Company Cupcakes at all times. You know I need me some baked goods. OM NOM!
There’s a new report out now from Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force and you need to take this seriously, folks. Turns out, if you have a Nintendo Wii, your child risks being molested. I’m not joking! The game Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii is the new AOL chatroom of yesteryear. Don’t take my word for it, take Andy Anderson’s word for it:
“There is no reason an adult should have this game,” says Andy Anderson, Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force.
Straight from the horse’s mouth. If you read this and your children get molested, it’s not my fault – it’s Nintendo’s.
Delicious but not nutritious! If these cupcakes are anything like the Wii, you’ll love them when you first get them and after a few weeks, they’ll sit on your kitchen counter growing stale by the minute. Or should I say miinute? Ha! Get it? I’ll see you in hell.
If you turned on your 360 yesterday, you probably were flabbergasted at the new interface that’s been getting some mixed reviews. Whether or not you like the new dashboard interface matters not, the new experience is here to stay.
Don’t forget to fashion your new Mii-like avatar to look like your least favorite dictator. Mine is a spitting image of Cambodia’s Pol Pot. That should scare away any strangers who consider adding me to their friends list.
Microsoft has announced its New Xbox Experience will launch November 19, bringing a fresh look to the Xbox 360 Dashboard that integrates social features and customizable gamer avatars reminiscent of the Nintendo Wii’s Mii. In order to compete with the upcoming PlayStation Home, Microsoft is adding a slew of avatars, social networking features and more media to the Xbox 360.
The long-awaited upgrade from a 20GB to 60GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 Pro could be announced at the company’s E3 keynote next month says TrustedReviews. A source says there’s a release scheduled for August before the 10th. If you’ve got a 20GB hard drive on your 360 and your kicking yourself for not holding out for the 60GB, no worries. You can always buy a separate 120GB drive, though dealing with the transfer can be a bitch.
Sources also say that Microsoft is desperately deciding to make “Wii-style avatars” which I assume means “Mii-style avatars.” Either way, lame idea Microsoft. Get your own avatars and while you’re at it, make Xbox Live free.

When GameDaily contributor Carol Orsini decided to get hitched to a non-gamer, there was bound to be a few kinks along the chain. But one thing’s for sure. She was not going to have a non-gaming themed wedding.
The multi-consoled cake features 4 different consoles, the Xbox, the Xbox 360, PS2, and topped with the limited edition gold Zelda Gamecube. The non-gaming hubby wasn’t available for comment, although Carol’s longtime boyfriend, Mario, says that he is honored to be a part of the wedding. We still think they should have added their Miis. — Andrew Dobrow
We have no idea why Sony is taking such a snobby position with PS3 Home, but they sound like total snots when describing the rules and etiquette of the social interface for the console. They say they are attempting to keep Home “accessible to everyone” by putting certain limitations on the attire your avatar can wear.
“If everyone’s walking around dressed as orcs or stormtroopers or whatever, then you lose that welcoming, accessible element that means Mum, Dad and your sister might get involved as well.” says Sony’s Peter Edwards. This is confusing for a few reasons. Numero uno, the biggest MMO on the internet is filled with exotic creatures, including orcs, and it hasn’t caused a damper for them. Numero dos, why not just give the people more bang for their buck?
We think that the real reason behind this is Sony rushed to release Home to compete with the Wii’s Mii. So they really didn’t have the time to create more outfits. Now they just sound like fascists. — Andrew Dobrow
PRO-Keds has announced there Imelda Macros-sized collection of arcade-themed kicks for total retro goodness. Not only are they hip to wear around the old change machine at the arcade, but are also a geek-chic addition to any style collection.

And best of all, the PRO-Keds webpage features some bumpin’ old-school hip-hop to get you in the mood for some retro kicks, son. — Andrew Dobrow
Sony has launched their beta of the social virtual world, PS3 Home. Home seems to be a lot more serious and developed then I ever thought it would be. Some things you can do while cruising around home is interact with your PSP, play mini-games, interact with other gamers, and of course, check out the view of a whole new world.
Is this an attempt by Sony to beat Nintendo at their own Mii game? You bet it is. The leaked screenshots from the Home beta are looking really good. Nintendo, we love you, but Sony may have you beat with this one. (more…)
