Ok, lets talk games. so, nintendos released pics and and some info on their new controller for the revolution, it looks damn sexy and could possibly be one of the biggest innovations in the field in the last 10 years. some people have rather negative reactions after just seeing the thing, even i did, scratch that, almost everyone has violent reactions after looking at it, anyone who has familiarity with a controller of normal systems anyway.

but some of the cool features we're talking bout here is that the interface system, the most important aspect of a system, is being designed to be much more responsive. i think this'll be pretty darn neat.

Ok, no ones brought this up on elf town, and the people who do mention it probably ain't looking here. BUT! if you were going to make this assumption and then rag on me, get this clear, i make no claims to have "good" taste in music. i like bare naked ladies, young blood brass band can swing and the blues brothers are pretty awesome. this is how i do, so shadup whibble snibbles the munchkin. note: when the person who this is adressed to reads this and sees me in the cafeteria i will live for aproximately 5 more minutes of airlessness, or 50 years of depression as i will have lost the use of my hands in a violent lunch box mishap.

I like telling stories, listening to stories, laughing at stories and having good times with people. thats why I write, currently I'm writing the webcomic Moonshine in cooperation with Sentia.
