Getting E3xcited about Wii

Ok, Geek Rob here getting very excited with the next generation of video-games. This week is the industry's prime-time show, E3 in Los Angeles. Although I spent half my lunchtime sunning myself on the Uni campus looking at the local ducks waddle around, I've also been looking at videos, hot-off-the-press, where Nintendo and Sony have been showcasing their new wares.

Sony has been going through some troubles getting its blu-ray technology in check and had to delay the Playstation 3 release. Will it be worth the wait?

First on my shopping list though is the Nintendo Wii with its unique controller and the new Zelda game. Could this be Nintendo's golden ticket?

YouTube looks like THE place to see the latest news in video format. Here's what I've been watching and want to share with you in excitment order:

Excited - the new Metal Gear Solid 4 game on the PS3 - MGS4 E3 video

Very excited - the Tennis game on the Wii demonstrated by Games-god Miyamoto - Tennis game demo

Very, very excited - the whole Wii package, a demo of the first batch of games like fishing, sword fighting, conducting, pumping etc. - which I predict will be this year's Christmas toy of the year - Wii demo

Oh no I've wet my pants excited - The new Zelda game on the Wii - Zelda demo

Oh no! That's our life savings going in to Game Store's pockets then. Perhaps we'll afford to go out again in 2020 ;)

GingerDJRoblog has been lynched by the Six TV mafia. Back in August (10th) I reported about the Solent Sci-fi TV programme we watched and its DIY presentation. This week I've been bombarded (well two of them) by the makers of the show with defensive swipes. From the recent bollox on digital lately I could be persuaded to view more of the Adventures of Stephen Brown . I'm also considering to ask for a walk on part for their next production. Picture above is from their Tubcon Invasion series - great costume and more exciting photos from their picture gallery . I've also found their YouTube videos . Talking of costume, I've learnt that the NYE party will have a mandatory dress-code of hat wearing. A little research has uncovered some websites for inspiration including Sabrina, the teenage witch's cat (or rather its stuffed relative) modelling some ideas. Just found a cute animation on YouTube called Kiwi!
