Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
If you haven’t heard of SarcasticGamer.com, you haven’t been paying attention to the world. They’ve just started their own podcast and it’s definitely a good listen. We’ve got their RSS Feed in The Pipeline. If you don’t feel like going back to the front page – here’s a compilation of their game parodies along with their first podcast episode.
Rather than camping out, a woman buys her way to the front of the line for $800. She wanted to buy all the stock a local AT&T had of the iPhone. She didn’t realize that the store had a limited supply of only 1 per customer! So in the end theguy at the front of the line still was able to buy his own iPhone and save some easy earned money.

This is absolutely the best story ever. I’m glad this woman didn’t get her way.
But this wasn’t the only incident with the iPhone… a man has already dropped the iPhone – thankfully it was caught on camera. Sure people are smashing the technology to pieces, but we don’t support stuff like that. So what I present to you is a collection of parodies of the iPhone.
By the way, I celebrated the launch of the iPhone by installing Windows Vista. It only took me 3 hours to get everything up and running.
We’ve had some issues with our previous WordPress template. I’ve gone through and redesigned it. Please let me know what you think!
Sorry if you visited the site while I was working on the design. You might have been weirded out by all of the changes when I was implementing them. 😯
[Update]
I noticed some major issues with IE 7. Everything should now work in all browsers. Please let me know if anything is messed up.
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta read this post. Making is believing – friendship never ends. You gotta, you gotta…
Remember the Spice Girls – you know the super-star singers that had their own movies, toys, as well as songs? They’re coming back and are “better than ever.” We’ve missed these girls – now women – since they broke up in 2001.
Sporty Spice told BBC Radio that the group has been discussing a comeback.
No this isn’t a hack for your Wii, this is a new channel that Nintendo will be releasing soon that contains new independent games available for download. Obviously this is an attempt to compete with Xbox Live Arcade as well as the PS3 online service.
The question is how will Nintendo differentiate itself from the competition, not only in variety of games, but in how they help indie developers create games for their system. It isn’t clear where exactly Nintendo wants to take this channel. If they want the support of hobbyists like Microsoft is doing with XNA. If Nintendo is, then they’ve got a lot of work ahead of them.
Considering the amount of retro games that have been downloaded since launch – over 4 million – via the Virtual Console, WiiWare could be a great addition to help the industry create some very unique and original titles.
Hopefully all of these new games will not be mini-game related… This announcement also brings up the issue of storage. Who really wants to have tons of memory cards full of random games? Hopefully Nintendo will release a harddrive attachment. 🙄
I reviewed SplitFish Games’ Edge FX for the PS2. This accessory makes your PS2 controller like a PC setup. But is that a good thing? Watch the full video review in the Product Video Review section of The Pipeline.
