The Kansas City Chiefs have a "Fan Code of Conduct" - Text Ratting
by: DS

This goes in the WTF category. When I lived in Kansas City, I got to go to a few games and the crowd was “energized” but not out of control. The standing up fans was not an issue at all.kc

Unless something happened in the last 3 years, I really don’t see what the problem is that needs a code-of-conduct. This is not tennis, it’s American Football.

Even better, they are using the stealthy technology of text-tattle on “Fan Code of Conduct”. So you can enjoy the game and rat on anyone that breaks the code. Now that screams sportsmanship and something the fans will love to embrace.

Next they will ask if you believe in evolution before entering the stadium…come on KC Chiefs, let the fans stay standing but textdrunk the bad seeds.

David Cook does a Guitar Hero commercial
by: Sarah

This is for all you die-hard Cook fans out there in Kansas City, and whoever else likes him too.

I will admit though, his Risky Business Guitar Hero commercial was way better than Archuleta’s.  David Cook looked way better in the get up, and it actually made me laugh.

It doesn’t make me like him more, just makes me like the commercial.  Good Luck Cook.

Wii Sports | Cleopatra the cat vs “The Wii Dog”
by: Sarah

Here is a video that was linked around today and I had to post it so many more people could see it.

The awesomeness of Cleopatra and “The Wii Dog” is documented in this video.  “The Wii Dog” definitely kicked that cat’s ass at Wii Sports Tennis.  Just watch, it will cause a good chuckle.

Duel Love, a Yaoi game for those who like little boy bodies
by: Sarah

I have ran across something sort of disturbing. Here is a game that you can purchase for your Nintendo DS, now I am not saying that you should, but it might be funny.  As a gamer-girl myself, this game makes me want to vomit. :)

The game is called Duel Love, and it was obviously created by a girl. Girls have talent, but damn, this girl is definitely screwing up the image for other women out there! This seemingly weak game with a sick school-boy fetish in the middle of it actually is being marketed towards girls. I don’t know many girls would be into a game where you can wipe sweat off the little boy bodies of the characters.

The games’ central story is a transfer student, a girl, who discovers a secret fight club at her new school. The boys ask you to massage, wipe sweat and treat their injuries, all by using your little stylus.

The boys are super skinny, shirtless, hairless and even nipple-less, so I guess if that is what you are into, then go pick it up, it is out this month.

Funny blog post about the game

Rock Band mod allows you to beatbox the foot pedal
by: Sarah

Another mod for the Rock Band game!  This one is particularly interesting, although I believe that they should mod it to where you don’t need the drums at all.  A beatbox Rock Band would be pretty neat, My favorite unsigned beatboxer is [Beware, that is a MySpace link, so if you oppose that don’t click].

This guy, Kevin Child, threw together this video for his YouTube stardom.  In the video he uses a Thumper Throat Mic to do the foot pedal in the game.

Enjoy Bon Jovi’s Wanted Dead of Alive in the video, since he used that to show off the throat thumpin’ moves.

Rock Band is better than Guitar Hero

The Accidental Video Game Porn Archive
by: DS

anikiwiggle I was reading a blog I like and we have links to it, Shake Well Before Use, and came across this little oddity.

Seemingly sexual screen grabs from video games. It’s very funny and worth a few clicks, I’m not sure you should do what I did and click every link…but you will get a laugh.

Not just at the images but that someone actually cataloged all of these screens.

If you want to waste some time and have a little laugh head over to The Accidental Video Game Porn Archive

The sample to the right is from:

Counter-Strike  2000, Sierra, PC

ORAL - This is the war on terrorism?

Like I said, odd and childish but kinda funny at the same time.

Interlocking lights now featuring Pac-Man
by: Sarah

pac-man interlocking lightsI just read this article over on Engadget about the Interlocking Pac-Man Lights.  Apparently Remake Design’s is the creator of the light blocks featuring Pac-Man, the infamous ghosts, and little blue dots to gobble up.  Personally, this product is a little silly, for the price you pay for the solid color lights, the Pac-Man edition looks expensive.

How much do you think this product would run for?  Well for $300 you can purchase four of the solid-colored light blocks, so it is pretty likely that this rather large set would cost a butt-load.  Though they haven’t priced them yet, so crossing my fingers for those of you who want this retro lighting system in their house without wanting to spend their nest egg.

It’s Not Safe In Fresh Water - Alligator Gar
by: DS

I was watching the History Channel tonight and caught the Monster Quest series (which I love) and was horrified to see giant fresh water fish.

When I say horrified I’m talking 600lb catfish, a 7ft Pike and this “small” Alligator Gar. The current world record alligator gar weighed 279 pounds and was caught in the Rio Grande River in 1951.

I have caught Gar before, small ones at the Clinton Lake spillway in Lawrence, KS. I know how scary it was to pull a little guy out of the water, having it thrash around trying to bite me. An older gent yelled, “smack it on the head with a rock…they evil” as I pulled it out of the water. It took a couple whacks.

I have never seen an Alligator Gar and this video really made me not want to go swimming in Texas rivers and made my little Gar seem really wimpy.

Rock Band is better than Guitar Hero
by: Sarah

rock band drum setrock band stage kit

I haven’t personally played Rock Band yet, but I hear it is fantastic.  A friend of mine is a huge fan of it, says it is way better than Guitar Hero [any version] and he can’t put it down.

Rock Band is more awesome than Guitar Hero, not only because you can modify it into a real drum set, but because you can purchase a stage kit.

The allows you to really get into the game, not that you necessarily need to, but it might be more fun that way for those super hard core Rock Band fans.

Alienware and NEC both introduce a curved monitor
by: Sarah

alienwareNEC panoramic monitorAlienware and NEC both introduced the new panoramic view monitor. The monitor curves to give you a view of what is around you as well. Its beautiful, as a gamer myself I would love to see video games with a display like this.

This reminds me of the VRX Mach 4 for Xbox. That certainly is neat, but a little pricey. But look at just a third of the specs on the Mach 4:

· 4 Microsoft Xbox 360’s
· 4 Copy’s Forza Motorsport 2
· Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter
· Microsoft Force Feedback Steering wheel
· 3 Sharp Aquos 37″ LC-D62U 1080p HD LCD displays
· Adjustable rear view Power Acoustik (PTM 750) 7″ LCD display
· Bose Acoustimass 10 series surround sound system with subwoofer

Either way, a screen would be incredibly awesome to use too.

Go look at what Engadget has to say about the Alienware and the NEC monitors.
