fools:God of War III Canceled for Telly Tubbies!!!

The new up and coming, highly anticipated, long awaited game God of War III has been canceled. Sony Computer Entertainment announced today that there new addition to the series will be canceled. Replaicing it with TelliTubbies World wide! It will be a new MMORPG where you can play as Twinky Winky, Laa Laa, Dipsy, and Po. And you run around the endless world playing with the sun!

Personally I feel that if there gonna cancel God Of War III then they should at least add an easteregg to let you play as Kratos (the main character from GOW III) and slay they Telly Tubbies!

fools:Sonys Next Gaming Console "Big Bertha"

This past week Sony Entertainment announced the future. The next gen gaming experience. They have yet to name it but it has been codenamed “Big Bertha”. The new gaming platform is set to replace the PS3 console. According to an inside source “Big Bertha” is going to feature a new technology in which the player will feel real pain and death just like the video game character! This will really change the future of video gaming! There will also be no controller… it will be mind controlled! Imagine games like Crash Bandicoot! This will definitely revolutionize the gaming world.

The only problem I have is the death part. This will definetly turn off a lot of whimps who are too sissy to die. Big Bertha will probably be somewhat of a hardcore gamers console. Games will be a lot more realistic. Games now a days sometimes have bad "life systems" like it takes 200 bullets to take down an opponent. Now it might only take 1 bullet to kill someone! Now all I wonder is how Nintendo and Microsoft compete...

Apples VS Bananas

Bananas and apples. 2 really popular fruits. Each are nutritious. But taste much different and look real different. They both grow from trees. They both have seeds and cores. But the apple has a tough skin and the Banana has a peel. Horses eat apples monkeys eat bananas. There both really important fruits.

In my opinion I like bananas more. They have a much smoother taste. After you get rid of the peel you have a delicious sweet banana to enjoy. The apple is a different story. You have to bite through that tough skin or you can take a lot of time to skin it. They do have many more flavors and varieties. Bananas are just one “flavor” banana. The apple to me doesn’t taste as nice usually. But then again there are times where I will prefer an apple over a banana.

They also have different health stats. The banana has a lot more sugar than the apple. BUT bananas can almost be used medicinally! Eating bananas can help with things like Anemia, Depression, PMS, Blood Pressure/Stress, Brain Power, Constipation, and Heartburn! So by eating a banana you are helping more then a crave you are helping many other issues.

So all in all I think bananas are much better. They taste better and are better for you. They help with medical problems and can make you happier. Apples are still a delicious food but I don’t think that they are the same. You also have to take a lot more effort to eat an apple! Pretty much I love Bananas.

Twitter Opinion

As you know many celebs such as oprah and aston kutcher even britney spears have recently signed up for Twitter. A social networking site to post status updates. I and many others [whome have been using this service for a long time for many useful purposes] are getting irratated at this. So many Celebs are now signing up and posting tons of tweets. Do you know how much publicity Twitter getting from this?! Now what used to be a what the hell is twitter is now a hey do you have a Twitter?? Most kids/people who are now signing up have no clue about Twitter. I mean they know how to use it but they dont all understand how it works. Anyone can now see there updates! Lets say Joe tweets: hey im going to [insert a local place here]! Now anyone who wants to can see that tweet and go to that place. The next thing you know "Joe Somebody" is on the news because hes been reported missing! Now this is a little extreme I definetly has the chance of happening. What bothers me even more is the fact that Twitter is most likely paying these celebs to sign up for Twitter! I mean Im glad Twitter is getting a ton of attention but Im kinda mad that people who understand these issues and use Twitter as a Social Networking site are not getting to use Twitter the same as now every other kid at school is going "oooh im sooo coool i have a Twitter"! Not just that but Twitter can get you into a tun of trouble if your not careful and I think Kids who dont understand the dangers should be on it. And with Celebs signing up its not helping....

Twitter Review

Tweet Tweet! With a 140 Character limit Twitter is one of the new social networking sites that is rapidly rising up to the top. Pretty much if you haven’t used any of its competitors’ services (i.e. Facebook, and Myspace). They all give you the ability to post status updates. Pretty much short things like “going to the mall be back l8r”. Or “I just took a dumb now i want cereal”. Twitter is mostley just that. Status updates. To send a “tweet” (what Twitter calls sending a message) you can either tweet from the website from your cell phone via sms even from your iPhone. (Just search “twitter” on the App Store and there are a gazilion apps available.) You get a limit of 140 characters (letters numbers symbols etc.) to state what your doing. You can get all your friends on Twitter and you all can follow each other. Following someone or followers are the people you subscribe to and the people who follow your updates. There are so many other things you can do with twitter. But one of the most amazing things is how many times its helped solve crimes save peoples lives and secret intelligence! There was one story where a college student was in Egypt on vacation and his peers all used Twitter and knew this. He got arrested for taking a photo of an aincent demonstration and taken to jail. He was able to tweet “Arrested.” to all his 48 followers. They called UC Berkeley, the US Embassy and a number of press organizations on his behalf. He got released. But if it haden’t been for Twitter he may not be here today! Still tweeting but now with 1028 followers! But even though there is many good that comes from Twitter there still are many bads. You need to be careful what you post to the inerwebz any way but especially something moving as fast as Twitter or Facebook is really dangerous. Like the guy that got a good job offer and he was going to take it. But instead he had to tweet “man got a great job that pays good bucks even though the work sucks”! He lost the job... Twitter is a free service that I highly recommend signing up for as I tweet always to my 300 Followers! (Sign up at http://twitter.com and you can find my updates at: http://twitter.com/dawildkid) Just make sure you are careful as what you put up there ( no last names no like street names dont say where you live and dont put anything that gives anything related to your location away.) and you will be fine!

Chopper iPhone Game Review

GameReleased July 06, 2008
David Frampton©2008
Majic Jungle SoftwareVersion: 1.0
3.0 MB$.99
9+ [Infrequent/Mild Realistic Violence]
Chopper is a very addicting game. With over 60 levels it entertains for hours (literally)! The tilt controls are very nice. not over sensitive and not really much getting used to. Which is nice because games like Monkey ball it took time getting used to and the first times playing it I was about to chuck it out the window!
The goal in this game is to pick up injured people or civilians caught up in the war and take them back to base/hospital. Along the way you are bombing or spraying bullets into your enemy.
The graphics are great for what it is. Its 2D but it still looks great. even the littlest things are moving and detailed. all the rain, snow, and even the little people on the ground waving there arms look great.
The price of $.99 is an amazing price (i think its more worth $5.00)
So all in all Graphics (for what it is): 4.5/5Controls: 5/5Cost: 5/5Fun/Addictiveness: 5/5Overall i give this game a 4.5/5I recommend this game to anyone who likes addicting games who doesn’t mind paying a small fee and likes stable controls!
