Still not dead yet... I think

New post in 2 weeks. I know I've been saying that I'll regularly be posting new stuff, but unfortunately, 2 major things have happened since the last post:
1. Work. Lots of it. I've been putting some work off (I'm becoming such a lazy ass. Which should stop.) but there's still tons of work left. In the last few weeks, I've ended up sleeping in the office more than my whole working life here. While still accountable on 2 hands, it's still helluva lot.
2. My house's ADSL modem got busted. By lightning. Again. :/ It's my fault mainly because I forgot to unplug the RJ30 modem cable on the only day of the month that had a mega-lightning storm. And before I left it was a very very very clear day too. *Sigh* Anyway, we got a adsl modem-wifi router combo as a replacement. I had to fork out some money on it, but since the thing is now in the living room, it should always be off when not in use. While this means it's less likely to be burnt, I have to install a wifi card on my comp. It's there on my table, waiting for me to assemble and install, but I'm way too lazy. So, until I get it done, there's no internet at home for me. Unless I'm using my bro or dad's laptop, but that isn't as fun. Plus no online D2/GW/PC gaming for me... My DS is still keeping me happy with my gaming needs :D

Anyway, onto the news!

1. If anybody has been catching up on Gaming news, it's no longer the PlayStation brand. It will be PLAYSTATION from now on. Good news? Easier to spell. Bad news? It's all caps, which means if you're reading it on the internet, it's gonna sound like you're shouting. The ugly? Nobody's gonna use it. Stick to PS3 :D

2. There has been a whole list of Wii rumors. I'll list them as I remember them:
a) Launch date. Earliest is October 2nd. Latest is November 14.
b) Super secret hidden feature still to be unveiled.
c) Technical Specs rumors.
d) WiiConnect24 rumors.
e) Game rumors. Most notably the Star Wars game with lightsaber action!

3. There has also been some PS3/PSP rumors:
a) There might be a price drop for the PSP. Well according to CNN Money anyway.
b) Devs are not developing games for the PS3 and instead for the XBox360 and Wii. Development cost too high? CELL processor too complex? Flying pigs high on LSD causing mass outbreak of epileptic seizures amongst the game devs? Well, scratch that last one, but whatever it is, while some game devs are cancelling some PS3 projects, others decided to hold off the development until things look brighter for the console giant.
c) Oh and EA says that Sony better buck up on the PSP because DS seems more fun.

4. DS news?
a) 3 notable games are being released now or soon.
- Mario Hoops 3 on 3 (developed by Square Enix). Basketball game that requires lots of tapping the touchscreen, team tactices and a slew of Mario and FF characters.
- Starfox Command. It's Starfox. Back to basic Starfox. With touchscreen for path selection. And multiplayer.
- FFIIIj. The one with the onion kids. Except the game was completely rehauled from 2D to 3D. With Wifi gaming too (for God knows what, I don't know). But it is an FF game!
b) Homebrew DS robot (google for the video, or youtube for it)

5. XBox360 news?
a) Halo the movie is probably gonna be directed by Peter Jackson. Whoa.
b) More Xbox Live stuff. Street Fighter II is out on it.
c) Nothing else I can think of...

6. PC gaming news?
a) WoW: Burning Crusades news is out.
b) GW: Nightfall is announced.
c) I like the Hellgate London screenshots.

Anyway... gotta go back to work. Ciaoz.
