Most gamers may know it as Nintendo Revolution, but the new name is Wii (pronounced as we). As of April 27th, Nintendos seventhgeneration video game console, their fifth home console, became the newest successor to Nintendo GameCube. Wii is unique with the Wii Remote, or Wiimote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and as detecting motion in three dimensions. The controller contains a speaker and a rumbling device which provides sensory feedback.

As of June 2006, an exact release date has yet to be confirmed. Nintendos most recent statements confirm that Nintendo plans to release Wii in the 4th quarter of 2006. Internationally, Nintendo hopes to launch with no more than four months difference between the first and last launching regions. At a June 2006 briefing in Japan, it was stated that a precise release date and price would be announced by September.

It was confirmed that Wii will cost no more than 250. A Nintendo spokesman said that the price in the U. K. will be in line with Japanese and US prices. Nintendo has intentions to have approximately 6 million console units and 17 million software units by March 31, 2007.

Wii is Nintendos smallest home game console yet, at approximately the size of three standard DVD cases stacked together. The console has been confirmed to have the ability to stand either horizontally or vertically. Nintendo has stated that a small attachment can be equipped to play on DVD Video.

Nintendo has displayed Wii in various colors platinum, lime green, white, black, blue and red. The final colors of the console are still to be announced. The systems shown at E3 2006 and in different trailers appear to have several small changes from the original design. Nintendo not only had branding on the case which replaced the Wii logo, but the disc loading slot is enlarged slightly as the reset button is moved from next to the eject button to the power button. The power indicator light is moved from next to the power button inside the button. The port for the sensor bar, a device used for the Wii Remotes three dimensional sensing is found at the rear of the console. This port did not appear in any of the former Wii hardware images, including the images in Nintendos E3 media press kit.

At E3 2006, Nintendo announced WiiConnect24, a feature of the Nintendo WiFi Connection that will permit the user to remain connected to the Internet in standby mode. Some possibilities of this newest feature that were mentioned at E3 2006 included allowing friends to visit the players village in games like Animal Crossing, and downloading new updates for games while in standby mode. It would also be possible to download DS promotional demos using WiiConnect24 and later transfer it to Nintendo DS.

Wii will support wireless connectivity with the Nintendo DS. Its been stated that Nintendo was still ironing out details when features using this connectivity would be available to the public.

Dan Marshalls long awaited and muchhyped Gibbage has finally hit the streets, but was it worth the wait?
Around two years in development, Gibbage is a relatively simple concept with clearly high aspirations playability over technological complexity, and thus a true indie experience in every way.

A twodimensional platformer in the style of the 16bit glory days, Gibbage takes frenetic platformbased item collection and adds a somewhat more modern oneonone deathmatch feel to the proceedings, resulting in all the multiplayer madness of a game of Counterstrike but all the yesteryear charm of Bonanza Brothers or Chuckie Egg. Gibbage has no support for networks, so look forward to the added retrostyled bonus of being within poking distance of your friend who, just like in the good old days, is being forced to share your keyboard as well as your screen!

Each player is represented by a podlike chamber on their respective side of the screen, from which, one at a time, emerge an unlimited supply of controllable guntoting clones whose mission is to gather randomly dropped power crystals from around the level. These crystals are then carried back to the pod, and added to the amount of power the player has at their disposal. A tug of war ensues as each player increases their power by securing crystals, but at the same time risking power loss by being killed (and using power to spawn another clone) or losing crystals to the opposition. All the while, each players power level is steadily counting down, and the first player to reach zero is declared the loser.

Weaponry can be improved beyond the supplied popgun by the occasional presence of powerup bonus crystals, and these are generally typical upgrades such as homing rockets, land mines or lasers. However, the bonus crystals are also capable of enacting negative status changes upon the enemy, often with hilarious consequences. These include such gems as an armless state in which your luckless chum will spend several minutes running around unable to fire, with blood pumping from their limbless upper torso, or cryo in which the opposing player will be frozen on the spot for a length of time.

The gore, in fact, is another feature worthy of discussion, as this game is absolutely loaded with the red stuff. Death will generally result in a shower of gibs (hence the titular choice) and a comically rolling skull, and, as battle ensues, these scattered remains will pile up until stages begin to resemble warzones of the highest order not for children (or, presumably, Daily Mail readers), this one.

With over 24 maps available, there is plenty here to keep both the casual or more serious gamer occupied, and the developer has sensibly integrated an unlocking system to control the availability of each stage, adding further to the just one more go feeling that Gibbage seems designed around.

But for how long will you actually want to play Gibbage? For a start, as a single player game, Gibbage is bordering on useless. The AI opponent begins to become unstuck the moment levels with any form of dangerous obstacle are introduced cheerfully hurling itself into lava pits in an attempt to recover power crystals randomly dropped onto the deadly surface. If you have no friends, stay away from Gibbage! Multiplayer (clearly the real aim of this game), however, is an experience that, once one acclimatises to the tiny sprites and often rather unpredictable physics, can become a real time waster. A full round, either of long or short duration, will generally play out in a fairly balanced fashion, with a generally steady array of power and bonus crystals coming in regular supply. Perhaps the only criticism here is the tendency for something of a rush of crystals earlier in a game (often three or four falling in quick succession), with rather a dearth later on as players will find nothing left to do but turn their attentions to each other, often causing the rich to become richer in terms of power levels.

Attention too should also be drawn to the cryo bonus, which freezes the opponent for an almost unbearably long time providing a real tableturner in game fortune and a massive frustration if a large lead was in hand before being crushed by this one swift move.

In conclusion, Gibbage is a bold, humorous and immensely playable title which, at only a 6 price tag, can be forgiven for its niggling playability issues by offering a lasting, entertaining and surprisingly deep (multiplayer!) gaming experience which should out live its asking price by quite a while. Roll on the next Dan Marshall release!

Score 710.

The Internet is not only a good source of information on about every subject. You will also find many sites that allow you to download new programs and other useful software that you can copy directly to your computer. It also offers files that contain videos, music and games. Before you can use these files, they first have to be copied to your hard disk. This process is called downloading. Webpages usually have links to downloadable files.

If you click on one of these download links, your browser immediately copies the files onto your computer’s hard disk drive.

Today, there is a very wide range of different kinds of computer games that you can download. Very often big gaming software companies allow you to download a trial version of a game that they have just released. They call these either trialware or shareware.

Typically, the companies provide shareware so you can download the games and try before buying it. The games usually are demo versions with limited features.

A shareware is accompanied by a request for payment that the person who downloaded the computer game is required to pay after a certain amount of time has past.

Free trial software is one of the main reasons for the rapid growth of the gaming industry. Today the industry is worth more than 10 billion. With games costing an average of 40, it’s a wise decision to download computer games for trial first. Most new video games released have their own dedicated website, so players can be updated on latest news and sequels. Many of the computer games offering a free trial have a specific mission that the player can try out. In this way he can get a feeling for the scenarios and the overall design of the game.

If you want a new gaming software, there are thousands of downloadable games available on the internet including classic games that you may not find in a regular software store.

Nevertheless there are disadvantages downloading shareware. The main drawback when downloading computer games is that the bigger the file size, the longer it will take your computer to write the information on its hard disk drive. This often can be a tedious process that can tie up your phone line for a long time.

Another factor that may affect the time it takes your computer to download the game is when there are a lot of other users that are trying to download the same file as you.

Then there is the virus worry. Many users worry that downloading a file could result in their computer being infected by a virus. However, times have changed and what was a problem in 2004 is no longer a problem in 2006. Big companies have their websites scanned for viruses on a regular basis and files offered for download are also scanned.

After youve had the RNY surgery, there is one thing you immediately begin to notice.. and thats what I call the TakeHome Box Overload. This is what happens inside your refrigerator as a result of you brining home all of those takehome boxes from restaurants because you cannot finish the meal. Even prior to surgery, you couldnt often finish the meal when some restaurants serve such large portions. So packing up the leftovers after an eatout meal seems natural to you, so you do it often.

PROBLEM ONE The TakeHome Boxes can actually establish huge neighborhoods inside your fridge!

PROBLEM TWO You feel you MUST NOT throw all of that food out because you have been taught from the early days of your crib that you SHALL NOT WASTE FOOD because of all the starving children elsewhere who certainly would appreciate the food you are wasting, right? Frankly, when you heard that guiltphrase that was supposed to motivate you to gobble up, didnt you feel even MORE compelled NOT to finish eating and MAIL your uneaten portion to those starving children? I never really understood that philosophy of telling me I better eat because some poor children dont have enough to eat. A puzzlement.

PROBLEM THREE Because of the guilt, you decide that youll just snack on the food in the takehome boxes. So you snack, snack again, snack some more, and HOORAY youve eaten everything in the box and you didnt waste the food! OH, but youve done yourself a BAD turn!

Bad turn? How?

Lets consider that the food in that takehome box could contain 1500 to 2000 calories. So what? Well, when you eat those leftovers, you are consuming those ADDITIONAL 1500 to 2000 calories that you DONT need in your eating routine especially if you eat them as SNACKS and not meals. It is a DANGEROUS thing to leave those takehome boxes in the fridge when they scream at you to be consumed. Dont listen to them!

Heres what you need to do instead

If you truly plan on eating the leftovers as another meal portion, then you should wrap them according and place them in your FREEZER for eating LATER. You know that adage, out of sight, out of mind? well, this is that basic concept. By doing this regularly, youll be able to rotate your frozen meal portions for a better variety rather than eating the leftovers time after time. How appealing is it to eat six servings of chili in a row? Its not so freeze the portions and eat them later.

The FREEZER is your solution to curb the snacking out of those takehome boxes. So use it as your new best friend, you new best mealplanner buddy, and your caloriesaver!

Getting use to the idea of tossing out food is a hard one, but its something you have to get used to as well. The dog or cat will always be there to volunteer to eat what you cant, and the animals will show you a deeper devotion that ever imaginable! And your household loved ones often appreciate you giving them an open invitation to anything they find in the takehome boxes.

Get a grip on this early so you wont sabotage yourself with those additional calories that will creep up on you if you fall pray to snacking or through guilteating. As an RNY patient, you are only to consume a minimal amount of calories anyway.. so dont fall into the trap of eating more than you need. This could be a factor as to why you seem to not be losing enough weight or why you are gaining some back after awhile.

Bottom Line TakeHome Boxes can be Dangerous Tame them before they do you harm!

Top Ways To Lose Weight Fast

The ability to rent video games from home without leaving the house has always been a true dream of mine. Not only does renting video games online keep you busy, but it can be very satisfying knowing you can rent as many titles as you want at anytime and generally receive them within a day or two.

Here are some Video Game Rental Statistics you might find interesting
“U.S. consumers spent 633.6 million renting video games in 2001, and a recordbreaking 6 billion buying video game software (including PC software).”

But why are people renting video games instead of buying? I guess I cant say gamers are not buying video games.
The U.S. computer and video game software sales grew four percent in
2004 to 7.3 billion a more than doubling of industry software.

But why rent games? I would estimate that people rent for 4 primary reasons.
1.The convenience
2.Its cheaper
3.Able to test games
4.Time sensitive

Convenience is truly a luxury worth having these days. People are looking for ways to save time and effort. Everything these days has to be fast and easy. Online video game rental companies provide that and much more. First of all and most important they deliver the game right to your front door. No more wasting your gas going to your favorite rental store, only to find out that the game you wanted is no longer available and wont be available until you make that drive again. Gas is too expensive these day, who wants to spend all that money driving to a video store when you can easily accomplish the same task on your home computer?

Second of all its simple alot cheaper. The average video store charges from 4.00 to 6.00 dollars per video game rental. That could get expensive, specially if youre renting numerous titles per week. Most of the well known game rental clubs like GameFly, Gottaplay, Intelliflix and RentZero only charge 12.95 to 19.95 per month for unlimited video game rental. So lets say you rent 2 titles per week at the local video store. That equal around 30.00 dollars per month compared to 12 to 13 dollars per month with the online alternative. This is a large savings at the end of the month.

Now here is the greatest part. Have you ever purchased a video game and just hated it. You cant just return the game, youre stuck or you have to exchange it in for store credit. So you just have to suck it up and move on to the next game, which might not live up to your standards. Renting video games online gives you the chance to test the game first before you purchase. The companies will even allow you to purchase the games at discount rates and just keep the game if you enjoy it that much.

You can keep the games as long at you like just pay the monthly fee. If you want to play 6 to 7 games a month or more you can just pay the one time monthly fee and be done with it. You dont even have to pay for postage. Thats a deal that I can get use to.

Hentai games appeal to the rather sidetracked tastes of the adult population. They involve very young girls and boys portrayed as cartoon figures, with touches of innocence added, and portray sexually charged stories. The userplayer gets to interact with the story with options to modify appearances, storylines, and endings.

The Gibo game under review is one such hentai game. It is about a young boy called Yusuke Yagami who happens to be a witness to his mothers adultery with a man. The mother is then divorced by the father. This creates a complex in the mind of the young boy, who is said to be confused about what a mother really means.

His father soon remarries, and a new stepmother called Gibo steps in. She is young and beautiful. This time the boy has grown up, and feels an attraction for his step mother. It is not difficult to imagine the storyline from this point onwards. The old mistrust of the concept of mother combines with physical attraction for the step mother to create a storyline.

This is a bishojo game with drama and taboo themes. The story concludes with a bizarre ending, though the choices are left to the player.

The hentai scenes are said to be very detailed, and the game uses good technology. There are three girls in the story, and there are a number of different sexual practices shown.

World of Warcraft is by far the best and largest MMORPG out yet. World of Warcraft follows a long history of the original strategy game warcraft. There were 3 popular titles that was released previously that was also an extremely big hit. Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III and the 2 expansions “The Frozen Throne” and “Reign of Chaos”. The release date of the game was on Nov 23, 2004. A year after its release and there are about 4.5 million subscribers and still growing stronger each day world wide.

World of Warcraft takes you to a 3D environment in the World of Azeroth. The World is the largest virtual environment ever created. You can explor through deserts, forests, mountains and more. It may take months before you can finish traveling through all of Azeroth. There are of course mounts such as horses, gryphons and other animals that can help you travel through Azeroth.

Along with the great 3D environment you can able to customize your characters looks in the highest of detail ever possibly invented. There are next to an infinite combination of faces, eyes, texture, size, weight, coloring to choose from. Unlike many other MMORPGs, you’re bound to find a twin here and there but the possibilities has gone unlimited with Blizzards character creation.

World of Warcraft consists of 2 fueding realms, the Alliance and the Horde. Each realm may choose from 4 different races. Alliance members may choose Human, Dwarf, Night Elf, and Gnomes while Horde members may choose Orc, Tauren, Troll and Undead. Along with the 8 races there are also 9 classes that you may choose from which are the Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior. Each player also has the ability to choose a profession for their character. A profession is very helpful to the players as it may help them create great armors, weapons, items and other equipments. A player may choose 2 primary professions and as many secondary professions as they like.

Blizzard has been updating World of Warcraft much more than their previous games that required connection to Battle.net. Quests, items, fixes and other great enhances are being added or changed to improve gameplay. Unlike other MMORPGs, the quests of WoW are made to help leveling and is much pleasurable. It is not as repetitive as you are required to kill the same monsters and the constant travelling back and forth to speak to a dozen NPCs.

Like most and all MMORPGs, WoW has their own game economy and ingame shopauction house. Their currency is based on copper, silver and gold. World of Warcraft gold is most commonly used to purchase weapons, armors, items, skills, spells and travelling. While selling back items to a NPC shop is easy, the returns are unfavorable. Majority of the players would sell off their unwanted items to other players at a highest rate than what the NPCs will offer.

PvP has been by far the most thrilling theme of most MMORPGs. World of Warcraft includes PvP servers and non PvP servers. As Blizzard continues to update the game, their most recent patch included the battle grounds. A zone where the Horde and Alliance comes together and competes. The winner will receive special rewards and methods of increasing their overall character status.

Blizzard has taken ideas from many different games and combined it all into 1. It has yet been by far the most successful MMORPG to this day and still growing rapidly. With a subscriber base of 4.5 million players world wide, I’m sure the game will continue to be popular for over a decade.
