The New Rubik’s Cube Means New Frustration

Filed under: Design, Handhelds

Unless you’re one of those crazy Rainman-like guys who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute, then the cube has caused you some sort of frustration or grief at one point in your life. Well, this new Rubik’s Cube appears even more difficult than its predecessor.

Without colors on any side, the only leeway you get is from the varying sizes and even that will probably throw you off track.  On top of that, to create even more frustration, the surrounding sides of each individual block have reflective mirrors on its surface. I’m getting angry just thinking about solving this thing.

The Wii Sqweeze Is Wii Fit For Your Upper Half

After a four hour session of some intense yoga training on the Wii Fit, Vince and I like to work our upper body so we can maintain our rugged Latin features and impress the ladies at nightly gatherings. That’s where InterAction Laboratories’ Wii Sqweeze comes into play. It brings the Nintendo Wii one step closer to a full-blown gym and another step away from being a video game system.

Once Vince and I wrapped our fingers around the Wii Sqweeze, we knew exactly what game we had to play to get those muscles flexing: Beijing 2008. The event? Weightlifting, of course! I chose some random Ukrainian guy and Vince went with the Hungarian who dislocated his elbow. After that, we were off to making disgusting grunting sounds while accidentally forcing our innards out of our anuses. Needless to say, It wasn’t fun and now I’m resting my ass on an ice pack as a I write this. Thanks a lot, Nintendo.
