Movie: Saved!
Well, I just did something I've never done before in my life; stopped watching a rented DVD 10 minutes into it. The movie: Saved!
There was just something about this film's attitude toward Christianity that really bothered me. It was trying to point out hypocrisy and whatnot from "Christians" but I see enough of that every day. I don't need to watch a movie about it.
Just wasn't something for me.

Get Ready to FEEL Your Games
This unique controller will allow actually allow you to feel your game, resistance, recoil and weight. If you thought the Wii remote was innovative, check this out.
I read an article about this technology several years ago, using a pen-stylus type device on one single arm. It was for "feeling" industrial design things like shapes of chairs and whatnot in CAD.
This is cool. I'll get one if it's less than a hundred bucks.

Wii are Excited
Nintendo Wii
I have seriously never been as excited about a system as I am for Wii. I cannot wait to play this thing.
I see this being like the Segway; easy to use, intuitive, and universally enjoyable. Everyone can use a Segway. Everyone loves how the Segway feels to use; it feels good to stand on a Segway and ride it around. I forsee Wii being the same way. Everyone will be able to use it, and everyone will enjoy it because it will simply be fun and feel satisfying.
I want this thing so bad. I will be purchasing this on the launch date.
The Playstation 3 is going to be $599 for the "real" system. Wii is supposedly going to be $250. If the prices were reversed, I would still purchase Wii. I would have no problem paying six hundred dollars to have this game experience. The fact that it's going to probably be sub-$300 and definently sub-$400 makes it the sweetest thing ever.
So, who's with me? Who's with Wii?

ESRB Re-Rates Oblivion To Mature
Gamasutra - Breaking: ESRB Pulls, Re-Rates Oblivion To Mature
*shakes head*
I love, love how a third party modification that does not come with the game, that one has to
desire
find
download
install
and enable
can get the rating changed, causing millions in losses for the company.
This does not MAGICALLY appear! Someone isn't going to give this to 14 year old Timmy, fire it up and find Emperor Uriel Septim enjoying his time at the tavern with wenches! Timmy has to go through an arduous process in order to view this!
I want to take those learning games, you know, 21st Century Reader Rabbit stuff (is Reader Rabbit still around? Number munchers? Man, kids are missing out!) and mod in F-bombs, drugs, and naked women.
It's the same thing.
