Well, the numbers are in and Microsoft and the XBox 360 has definitely cleaned up during the Christmas holiday sales. The major factor being that Sony and Nintendo couldn’t get enough PS3s and Wiis (is that the proper plural?) out to meet the demand for their new systems. HOWEVER, from all sources that I’ve been reading, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Gears of War are both fighting for the Game of the Year spot. Naturally, my money’s on Zelda.

Another thing concerning analysts for the gamer’s market is the PS3 is going to suffer unless they can get a real winner of a title out. I want them to have the #2 spot behind Nintendo. Not because of my dislike for Microsoft in general, mind you, but the PS3 has a lot more promise. The work that’s been done on the system could keep the PS3 as a viable market product for 10 years, instead of the every 5 years we’ve been seeing.

That being said, though, can the Wii hold its own until the next ‘console war’? With its current gen technology, it’s pretty much outdated as it is. Nintendo’s strongest selling point has always been its games, so time will tell.

i’m writing this using my WII

In the past few minutes It seems I’ve been overrun with the craziest content the web has to offer.
O.k maybe not the craziest but certainly laughable.

I just created, nominated and elected myself as the first unofficial or even needed liaison between the ‘Nerd/Geek world’ and the ‘Cool people World’ or currently not known as a NGWCPWL.
I felt this was necessary because today is “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and I didn’t want anyone to feel left out.
Right about now the residence of ‘Cool people World’ are letting out a big sigh of relief, I imagine it sounds something like this.

“Ohhhh, I thought the internet was broken and Al Gore was too busy to fix it, which we all know means the Nerds/Geeks where preparing for the end of the world, again, Sorry, My Bad.”

Don’t worry CPs, there’s been no ‘my bad’ committed just join in and have some nerdy geeky fun.

Man or woman, straight or gay, it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t love boobies. So for all the boobie loving freaks out there, I’m pleased to announce IT”S BOOBIE-THON TIME!!

For those unaware Boobie-Thon is a fund raiser where “bloggers from across the globe can submit pictures of bare and covered breasts to raise money for breast cancer causes.” Since 2002 over $24,000 has been raised for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. For more information please visit the official Boobie-Thon website.

“Boobie-Thon” launches on Sunday, October 1, 2006. It will run through 11:59 p.m. EDT on Saturday, October 7, 2006.

Yes, I know, I just gave you some inspiring, rewarding news but you all must focus..focus..o.k
Now here’s what we all must do over the next Month to prepare.

1. Come up with creative picture ideas
2. Tell all your friends and family
3. start a list of every synonym you can think of for boobies

Number 3, obviously isn’t necessary but can be alot of fun. I can’t wait to here what we can come up with.

And for my friends, you know who you are, I expect full participation. Joking of course, but please consider and if there is anything I can do to help let me know.

Such a tragic story causing a good date to end too soon. This is a joke, as this is from The Onion, an on line “news” service that prints quite a few phony baloney news stories. Oddly enough, if you don’t realize this is some kind of joke, you might actually freak out. Other news stories of theirs include dumb toy fatalities and “trial separation”. So if you need a laugh or two, check out the Onion and read on just how silly things COULD be.

OK, I had to share these little tidbits.
