<div><em><strong>Beth Howard</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Videogame consoles and hardware are quite popular among millions of people across the world, irrespective of their age and gender. The videogame industry has grown tremendously and now it is considered as a million dollar industry. This industry has changed the perception of playing games and having entertainment in people’s lives. One of the most favorite among the videogame lovers today, is the Nintendo DSi console which has been developed and marketed by one of the biggest names in the gaming industry – Nintendo Entertainment System or NES. In the recent times, the NES has dramatically changed the world of hand held gaming devices with the introduction of Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DS Lite console. The newest one on the block is DSi which is an improvisation on the DS Lite and with added features.<br/><br/>What Are The Changes Or Added Features Of Nintendodsi?<br/><br/>The company has added many interesting features and also made some considerable changes in DSi. If you compare the console, it is almost 15% lighter than the previous DS Lite console. The console provides two digital cameras, quite an unusual feature. The screens are now larger with highly enhanced speakers. All these features have been added in view of making the console more user-friendly so that the players can easily maneuver it and have fun filled interaction without any interruptions. Overall the design is not fancy, but simple and basic.<br/><br/>One of the greatest improvements with Nintendo DSi console is that it now comes with an additional SD card slot. When you take pictures with the console, you can store them on this SD card memory. These pictures or anything such as audio files or even downloaded software can then be transferred to a PC. You can also store audio and video files on this SD card and later can play using the game console. The audio player with DSi also lets you record your own voice.<br/><br/>Download And Play Instantly With Nintendo Dsi<br/><br/>One of the most exciting and highly innovative features offered with the DSi console is the facility to download and play games almost immediately. There are many online stores that provide you with a wide variety of downloadable games. With the DSi console, now you can directly connect to such online stores from anywhere in the world and use your accumulated Nintendo points to buy games. With this feature, you have access to a whole lot of new and exciting games that are available on the web. To try or buy a new game, now you no longer require visiting a local game store.<br/><br/>The Internet is the best place to buy Nintendo DSi Bundles. The bundle includes a DSi console, one or more games and some great accessories to go along your game console such as wrist strap, cleaning cloth, headphones, silicon protectors etc. These bundles are available within price range of ?120 to ?160. You can search different sites for the best DS deals.<br/><br/>So, what are you waiting for? Go and grab your own Nintendo DSi bundles and start gaming!<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href=''>Charles</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Groshan Fabiola</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Whatever happened to the awaited LOST video game? Rumor has it that the development video game solely based on the hit television series LOST, which is being created by UBISoft&#8217;s Montreal studio, has been put on hold for the time being. However, there hasn&#8217;t been an official announcement on when and why it was temporarily ceased and when it will be continued. In fact, the last news about the video game was that a sample version has already been demoed to producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and they were pleased with what UBISoft has done.<br/><br/>The July/August issue of the official LOST magazine featured a tidbit comment by the producers on the elusive game. In the Questions and Answers section, a fan wrote in and asked how the game was looking and a very enthusiastic Lindelof replied, &#8220;From what I have seen? Ridiculously AWESOME!&#8221; Before that little piece of information came to publication, Lindelof and Cuse also gave favorable reviews of a piece of playable footage they were shown by the developers on the producers&#8217; April 16th, 2007 podcast.<br/><br/>As for game content and storyline, Lindelof and Cuse gave some information on that right here in my conversation with them in March. Lidelof commented on the game&#8217;s plot and said, &#8220;We pitched them a concept for the game and they’re basically going to run with it but I think much in the same way that the Star Wars first person shooter games worked, where you’re new characters exploring similar environments in the movies that you already know.&#8221;<br/><br/>The video game may represent either an alternate reality or a prequel to the events of the show, judging by some of the locations fans can expect to see. Cuse added in the interview that it was possible that the fans may see a glimpse of the Swan hatch again, which was (famously) destroyed in the second season finale.<br/><br/>A reason for the silence on the game&#8217;s updates could be that even though UBISoft has the license to the game, ABC/Disney still has the last say on promotion of the game since prominent promotion of the game does dovetail with marketing efforts of the brand as a whole. Bottomline is when news does come out about the game, make sure that the fans catch it.<br/><br/>For more resources about LOST or for the full version of the story What Happened to the LOST Videogame? please review http://www.buddytv.com<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href=''>Lillie</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Andrea</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Tra i giochi gratis presenti in Internet una crescente fetta é attualmente costituita dai giochi dress up  e dai giochi make up.Ovviamente tale tipo di divertimento richiama soprattutto un’utenza al femminile e alimenta quella nuova e variegatissima categoria di giochi per ragazze di cui si é ormai disseminando il Web.<br/><br/>I siti dedicati a tale utenza rosa si stanno infatti rivelando un fenomeno in costante crescita nel palinsesto di Internet. Si sa che fino a pochi anni fa il pubblico “eletto” per giochi e videogame era principalmente quello dei ragazzi, ma adesso il mercato sta cercando di pareggiare i conti con il gentil sesso (tanto trascurato negli anni passati), e conquistarne l’interesse creando categorie di giochi nuove e apposite. Alcuni esempi sono i giochi di baby sitter o di dog sitter, i giochi di cucina, i giochi di sport con protagoniste solo donne, i giochi di decorazione, ecc.<br/><br/>I giochi dress up e i giochi make up sono un po’ il fiore all’occhiello di questo settore, soprattutto quelli in cui l’obiettivo é trasformare il look dei personaggi famosi.<br/><br/>Giochi di famose celebritá in cui bisogna cambiare il colore dei capelli a Britney Spears, truccare la bellissima Keira Knightley, rovistare nell’armadio di Lady Gaga e vestirla con i suoi abiti eccentrici, ecc&#8230;Pare ormai sia questo il passatempo preferito dalle giovanissime, che possono anche fantasticare sui loro idoli maschili (come Brad Pitt o Zac Efron&#8230;) e diventarne le esclusive curatrici d’immagine.<br/><br/>Online si possono trovare un’infinitá di giochi analoghi, tutti assolutamente votati al culto dell’estetica e della moda. Il genere riscuote un grandissimo successo anche nelle bambine, che possono trovare tanti giochi dress up specifici per la loro fascia di etá, ma che comunque non disdegnano cimentarsi in abbinamenti di stile molto piú sofisticati e glamour.<br/><br/>Probabilmente la grande fortuna di questi giochi risiede nel fatto che stuzzicano quella vocazione al bello che risiede nelle donne (in quasi tutte, ovviamente&#8230;) fin da piccole, rendendole vittime del fascino di scarpe lucide e armadi colmi di abiti nuovi da cambiare di continuo.<br/><br/>Il potere ipnotico di questi videogames é ancora piú forte se alla passione per la moda uniscono, appunto, quella per le star del momento. In tal maniera la combinazione é perfetta: le adolescenti non si limitano piú a guardare le  proprie icone stampate su poster appesi alle pareti, ma ne diventano personali stiliste e truccatrici!<br/><br/>Sono giochini davvero simpatici che stimolano molto la fantasia e la creativitá e regalano momenti di divertimento positivo e assolutamente gratuito. Alcuni dress up sono anche molto particolareggiati e mettono a disposizione del giocatore (o meglio&#8230;della giocatrice&#8230;) non solo abiti e scarpe, ma anche accessori come bracciali, collane, orecchini, diademi, cavigliere, occhiali e cappelli. Alcuni danno anche la possibilitá di scegliere e applicare dei tatuaggi!<br/><br/>Probabilmente molti considereranno tali passatempi frivoli e votati esclusivamente all’esaltazione dell’estetica. In veritá bisogna considerarne l’influenza positiva che esercitano sulla capacitá decisionale delle giovanissime, che imparano a scegliere lo stile di proprio gusto scavalcando i dettami delle riviste di moda o della tv.<br/><br/>I giochi per ragazze diventano quindi un modo di rendere le bambine e le adolescenti assolute protagoniste di un mondo virtuale dove i dettami della moda li decidono loro.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href=''>Jessica</a></div>

<div><em><strong>Alvaro Fernandez</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Copyright (c) 2009 SharpBrains<br/><br/>You may be thinking about innovative ways to maintain your brain in top shape in 2009. Two recent scientific studies published by Dr. Arthur Kramer and colleagues suggest an intriguing possibility: playing strategy videogames. Especially if you are 60-years-old or over.<br/><br/>The two studies are:<br/><br/>1) Basak C, et al &#8220;Can training in a real-time strategy video game attenuate cognitive decline in older adults?&#8221; Psychol Aging 2008; DOI: 10.1037/a0013494.<br/><br/>2) Boot, W. R., Kramer, A. F., Simons, D. J., Fabiani, M. &#038; Gratton, G. (2008) The effects of video game playing on attention, memory, and executive control. Acta Psychologica, 129, 387-398.<br/><br/>Let&#8217;s first review the first study, a landmark experiment in that it showed wide and significant cognitive benefits in adults over 60 years old who played a strategy videogame (Rise of Nations) for 23 hours.<br/><br/>A team at the University of Illinois recruited 40 adults over 60 years old, half of whom were asked to play a computer game called Rise of Nations, a role-playing game in which you have to build your own empire: game players have to build cities, feed and employ their people, maintain an adequate military and expand their territory.<br/><br/>Both the experiment and the control groups were assessed before, during and after the video game training on a variety of tests, and the &#8220;gamers&#8221; became significantly better &#8211; and faster &#8211; at switching between tasks as compared to the comparison group. Their working memory, as reflected in the tests, was also significantly improved and their reasoning ability was enhanced.<br/><br/>Really remarkable results.<br/><br/>The second study, in contrast, found no comparable cognitive benefits for college students in their early 20s who played the same game for the same number of hours, regardless of whether they play videogames often or don&#8217;t. How come this contrast?<br/><br/>In order to better understand this, I contacted Dr. Arthur Kramer, one of the scientists involved in both studies, to ask a few questions.<br/><br/>Question: What may, in your view, explain the different effect of the videogame Rise of Nations on non-gamers, contrasting both studies?<br/><br/>Answer: Certainly one of the most notable between our two studies was the age of the study participants &#8211; with young adults serving as subjects in the Acta Psychologica paper and older adults serving as subjects in the Psychology &#038; Aging study. We observed training benefits for the older but not for the younger adults. There are several reasons why this might have been the case. First, older adults perform more poorly on the target abilities that we were trying to train &#8211; that is executive control processes &#8211; than younger adults. So it might be the case that video game training benefits are more readily observed for cognitive processes that are somewhat degraded. Second, while it is quite easy to find older adults who have never played video games (and especially strategy-based games like Rise Of Nations) it is very difficult to find completely na&#239;ve younger adults (although the younger adults subjects in our study did play video games less than 1 hour per week). So it is conceivable that video game training based gains might be more readily observed the less experience that someone has with video games. These seem to be the most likely reasons for the different effects in the two studies.<br/><br/>Question: What is the main implication from both studies combined/ what do we know today that we didn&#8217;t know 3 months ago?<br/><br/>Answer: First, I think that our results suggest promise with regard to video game playing and older adults cognition. However, given, to my knowledge, this is the first attempt to improve executive control abilities of older adults via strategy-based video game playing certainly additional studies should be conducted to further explore this relationship, particularly with real-world tasks as transfer tasks. Second, the results of our study with younger adults suggest that caution is in order with regard to assuming that video game training will enhancing, perceptual, attentional and cognitive abilities of young people. Clearly, there are important boundary conditions of such relationships that we don&#8217;t yet know.<br/><br/>In short, your brain needs Novelty and Challenge at all ages. And a videogame such as Rise of Nations may provide that Novelty and Challenge especially if you are an adult who is not playing videogames already.<br/><br/>Have a great and brainy 2009!<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href=''>Erica</a></div>

<div><em><strong>tatar job</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Written by tatar job<br/><br/>I worked for Blockbuster Video for the better part of six months. I was used at several different stores as a shift manager, and had to deal with many, many different kinds of customers. While the job was criminally easy at times, I came to despise the job, the corporation, and the customers who gave it money.<br/><br/>As a way of exorcising the demons in my video rental past, I now present my completely unbiased and totally honest list of the ten biggest lies Blockbuster Video tells their customers.<br/><br/>10. &#8220;Sorry, I can’t do that&#8221;<br/><br/>If you tell a Blockbuster employee to credit something off your account, or change your payment method after he’s already confirmed it, or one of any number of irritating special requests one could possibly make to an employee, he will more than likely tell you that he is sorry, but the computer system will not allow him to do that.<br/><br/>This is untrue.<br/><br/>While Blockbuster still uses a Point of Sale computer system that is literally more than twenty years old (abbreviated, appropriately enough, to &#8220;P.O.S.&#8221;), it still allows the average BB clerk to do pretty much anything that could conceivably need to be done. The reason for his refusal to comply with your request is relatively simple: he is personally angry at your stupidity or dishonesty (keeping a videogame out for six days, then coming back and demanding a refund because it didn’t have an instruction manual) and feels it should not be positively reinforced.<br/><br/>No matter what your problem is, the average BB clerk can, technically, solve it &#8211; but the more complicated it is, the less he or she will actually want to. Hypothetically, refusing a customer any sort of service would be a no-no in the world of customer service, but given that an average BB computer looks like some sort of hacker workstation to the average citizen (blue screens, no mice, keys that make a satisfyingly loud noise when they are punched) , the Blockbuster employee is easily able to blame everything he can’t or won’t do on the computer system. Hopefully, the average consumer will not realize the full extend of what the POS system can do, and will have no choice but to accept the employee’s assertion that it is the computer, and not the employee, that is being unhelpful &#8211; which leads us straight into number 9.<br/><br/>9. &#8220;The computers lock down five minutes before closing time &#8211; we can’t do anything about it&#8221;<br/><br/>I heard this lie from the coolest manager I ever worked with &#8211; a guy with a vanity license plate reading &#8220;WOOKIEE&#8221; and a son with the middle name &#8220;Vader.&#8221; He hated customers even more than I did, and he used the above lie as a foolproof way of ending the night early. It is, of course, total bullshit, but it’s a damned good lie.<br/><br/>Promising that the computers will automatically lock down sounds absurd enough to be true, and technical enough to dissuade the unwashed masses from questioning it further. Also, the customers are forced to action: if you don’t hurry the fuck up and find a movie that will fit whatever mood you’re in at 1:00 in the morning, the system will shut down and you won’t get anything. The customers leave faster, the store closes earlier (thus preventing possible last-minute robberies), and the staff get to go home sooner. This lie, all things considered, contributes to a win-win-win situation.<br/><br/>8. &#8220;Sorry, the restroom is broken&#8221;<br/><br/>Seriously, it’s not. The restroom is unhygienic, disused, and probably caked in several layers of bodily fluids, but it is still technically functional. The reason BB staff lock their restrooms and tell customers the plumbing is broken is because the restroom is the one place in the entire store where the staff cannot see you.<br/><br/>As a result of this fact, restrooms are the perfect place to steal shit: during my time at Blockbuster, thieves often grabbed DVDs or videogame hardware, stuffed them into their pants, and entered the bathroom. Inside, they literally had all the time they wanted to remove the numerous security strips and magnetic locks affixed to every piece of merchandise.<br/><br/>One female customer in particular took her baby into the restroom with her and removed the packaging for an Xbox 360 controller, a new DVD copy of Gridiron Gang, and a copy of InStyle before stuffing all three items into her purse. Everyone working the shift that night obviously knew what the woman had done, but we were powerless to stop her thanks to lie number seven:<br/><br/>7. &#8220;Theft is bad&#8221;<br/><br/>Like many other corporate chains (Target and Wal-mart come to mind), Blockbuster must appear to despise shoplifting in all its shapes and forms, whilst doing pretty much nothing to stop it.<br/><br/>If you stuff eighteen DVDs, a Grand Theft Auto strategy guide, and a box of Red Vines into a backpack and walk out, congratulations &#8211; you’ve just committed the perfect crime. Even if the metal detector by the door goes off on your way out, you’re fine. Even if the security camera catches your face, you’re fine. Even if DVDs are literally poking out of your dungarees at the feet and waist, and even if every step you make is punctuated by the loud, repeated clapping of plastic case against plastic case, and even if an employee personally comes up to you and asks to see all the items you are carrying, once you leave the store you’ll still spend the rest of your arrest-free night watching your stolen copy of Red Dawn.<br/><br/>Blockbuster employees are trained not to stop, accuse, or pursue criminals, no matter what. This is partially for legal reasons (if a Blockbuster employee accuses a thief of stealing as per company policy and the thief shoots him, Blockbuster can be held accountable), but partially because Blockbuster doesn’t want to waste its time getting in battles with every two-bit pickpocket in the US. In the same way that videogame companies tend not to crack down on pirates, so too does Blockbuster ignore theft. Literally the only situation in which a Blockbuster employee can take any action against a thief is if the thief confesses to attempting to steal something. The BB theft response system quite literally punishes honesty &#8211; if someone admits to having stolen something, the employee is to immediately call the police and wait with the thief until their arrival, at which point said thief will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.<br/><br/>Yeah, that‘ll fucking teach him to fess up and apologize.<br/><br/>6. &#8220;Sorry, we don’t have that movie &#8211; I’ll call the other store and check if they have it&#8221;<br/><br/>There’s nobody on the other line, dude. Yeah, you saw me look up the phone number for another store, and you probably watched me dial some numbers, but I actually just called my cell phone. You might think I’m talking to another Blockbuster employee over at 19th Avenue and Union Hills, but I’m just speaking over the sound of my voicemail message, making occasional pauses to heighten the realism before disappointedly sighing, hanging up, and pronouncing, &#8220;Nah, I guess they don’t have it. Sorry.&#8221;<br/><br/>If you’d asked for a better movie I probably would have really checked, but you didn’t, so I didn’t.<br/><br/>5. &#8220;Yeah, we’re big movie buffs&#8221;<br/><br/>While under the employ of the Blockbuster Corporation, I worked at no less than six different stores in the greater Phoenix area. And in all my time, I did not run into a single store manager who had seen any of the following movies:<br/><br/>-City of God<br/><br/>-Fight Club<br/><br/>-The Wild Bunch<br/><br/>-Gone with the Wind<br/><br/>-Citizen Kane<br/><br/>-Casablanca<br/><br/>-THE FUCKING GODFATHER<br/><br/>On my first day, my store manager asked me what my favorite movie was. After responding, &#8220;Blade Runner&#8221; and watching her nod in faux-understanding, I asked her what her favorite movie was. She replied, &#8220;Rumor Has It.&#8221;<br/><br/>In retrospect, I should have quit right there.<br/><br/>When I later asked her why she hadn’t seen any movies of historical or artistic significance, she used these exact words:<br/><br/>&#8220;Gas station attendants don’t need to know how to work an oilrig, do they?&#8221;<br/><br/>No, but they do need to know the goddamned difference between unleaded and diesel. Jesus.<br/><br/>4. &#8220;No, I won’t write down stuff you say to me and then repost it on the Internet&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;Did you like Terminator 3?&#8221; -An employee<br/><br/>&#8220;Uh, maybe if I’d never seen Terminator 1 or 2.&#8221; -Me<br/><br/>&#8220;What? You didn’t-&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;You’re talking about comparing a decent action movie to two of the best action movies ever made.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;What’s my favorite action movie? That’s a good question, I’ve never thought about that.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;?I didn’t ask-&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;Probably Blade 2.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;?&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;Is it possible to understand Road House 2 even if I haven’t seen the original?&#8221; -A customer<br/><br/>&#8220;-Are you from Pakistan?&#8221;- 50 year old, balding customer with glasses and a pedo-smile<br/><br/>&#8220;I-what?&#8221; -Me<br/><br/>&#8220;Your ethnicity, are you from Pakistan?&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;Uh, sort of.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;Oh, I thought so. You ever thought about modelling?&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;?What.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;You’ve got a real face for it.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;I-&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;-Yeah, my son in law does it. Makes a pretty good living off it. You’ve got a face for it, I can tell you.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;Uh, if you need anything else, let me-&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;-And you don’t have to be gay to do it, either.&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;IFYOUNEEDANYTHINGELSEJUSTLETMEKNOW&#8221;<br/><br/>&#8220;Is this Final Fantasy Seven? The one with the V, and the two lines?&#8221; -An employee<br/><br/>3. &#8220;There are no late fees&#8221;<br/><br/>Perhaps the biggest marketing move in Blockbuster’s history has been the so-called abolishment of late fees. While, technically, there is no longer a service charge referred to as a &#8220;late fee&#8221; at any Blockbuster store on the planet, there are plenty of other small fees and price changes to make up for it.<br/><br/>Firstly, rentals themselves are now more expensive than ever: in Arizona, a movie rental costs 5 bucks, and a game rental costs 9. In states like California or New York, I assume some sort of first-born bartering system is used.<br/><br/>Secondly, there is a late fee if you keep a movie a week past its suggested due date: the $1.25 charge is referred to as a &#8220;restocking fee,&#8221; but trust me &#8211; it’s a late fee. There is nothing in the process of returning a movie from the night drop to the store shelves that costs even the smallest amount of money; if the $1.25 is truly financing &#8220;restocking,&#8221; I have to wonder where that money is going. I sure as hell didn’t see any of it.<br/><br/>Thirdly, the tradeoff with late fees if that if you keep a movie for a month past its suggested due date, you have to buy it. This is probably the most reasonable aspect of the no late fees policy, and is therefore the one frequently argued against by deadbeats who refuse to return copies of Fast and the Furious 2 within a reasonable period of time.<br/><br/>2. &#8220;Blockbuster Online is better than Netflix&#8221;<br/><br/>Every Blockbuster Online mailer counts as a coupon for a free instore rental. It’s a pretty good deal, admittedly, but the problem is that it’s a wholly temporary one: while Blockbuster Online’s current monthly fee is pretty much on par with Netflix’s, it won’t stay like that for long.<br/><br/>Blockbuster Online was created solely to steal Netflix’s online rental idea and drive them out of business: as such, if/when Netflix is bankrupted by Blockbuster Online’s Bauman-esque ripoff artistry, Blockbuster Online will raise its prices significantly, and probably get rid of the whole &#8220;free instore rental&#8221; thing. Thanks to the combination of No Late Fees and the Blockbuster Online free rentals, the BB Corporation is losing money &#8211; once their main source of competition is gone, they’ll do whatever necessary to get that cash back.<br/><br/>1. &#8220;Yeah, that’s a really good movie&#8221;<br/><br/>If there is only one thing you need to know about Blockbuster, it is this: the movie you are renting, or the movie that was suggested to you by an overweight female clerk who has had two husbands, one child, and half a dozen miscarriages, will not be good.<br/><br/>The fault for this does not completely lie on either employee or customer, but weighs equally on both parties.<br/><br/>As mentioned earlier, Blockbuster employees, for the most part, know next to nothing about movies. As such, their recommendations will be at best useless and at worst harmful: whichever new release has the prettiest cover will likely be the one immediately recommended by the manager on duty.<br/><br/>On the other hand, the vast majority of those who frequent the shelves of Blockbuster Video are slobbering, slack-jawed idiots who harbor no true love for cinema, no desire to probe deep questions about life, and no ability to enjoy something that might require the slightest bit of effort. In one respect, I can understand this: these people have worked hard during their day jobs &#8211; why shouldn’t be allowed to relax and escape with some harmless Hollywood entertainment?<br/><br/>The problem arises in what they watch. Relax and escape, yeah, but at the very least adopt some goddamned standards. If you’re looking for a comedy, don’t rent Phat Girlz. If you want a drama, don’t get anything with Ben Affleck. And for the love of God, do not rent something just because it is new.<br/><br/>I literally cannot tell you how many people come to Blockbuster on a daily basis, just so they can rent the new releases. Not because they’re interested in them. Not because they look good. Simply because they are new.<br/><br/>And while they spend their time and money on dreck like Behind Enemy Lines II and The Break-Up, these people literally refuse to anything that:<br/><br/>-Was made before 1995<br/><br/>-Comes from a different country, even an English-speaking one<br/><br/>-Might be mentally or emotionally disturbing<br/><br/>-Has subtitles<br/><br/>-Has voice-over narration (I literally talked to a customer who didn’t like any movie that had voice-over narration: that’s like fucking saying you don’t like movies with a number in the title)<br/><br/>Of course, there are always those precious few customers who actually want something different, but they are extremely rare. And by the time they show up, most Blockbuster employees are already burned out: my first few months on the job, I tried to expand people’s movie vocabulary by exposing them to unusual fare like Oldboy, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Brick, and so on, but my efforts were all for naught. The things I recommended to customers were either immediately returned to the shelf once I left their field of vision, or watched on a whim and then endlessly complained about (&#8221;the pedophilia stuff in Hard Candy was so gross that I had to turn it off after ten minutes&#8221;). It literally gets to the point where, as an employee, you don’t want to share good films with customers because, in the words of one of my old co-workers, &#8220;they don’t deserve them.&#8221;<br/><br/>This attitude snowballs into a general loathing of all Blockbuster customers, and then all consumers, and then all of humanity in general.<br/><br/>Long story short, I was fired from Blockbuster for calling a female customer a &#8220;cunt.&#8221;<br/><br/>She was totally acting like one, though.<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href=''>Marjorie</a></div>

<div><em><strong>tangyi</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>What’s the most impressive memory E3 2009 remain to us? Someone cheers for the alliance of MS and Konami , while others are still in the beautiful tales of new Mario and Link. But there is one thing in common, the sensor. The gigabolt feedback sweep across the whole videogame market the moment Nintendo released the remote sensor Wii and touch handheld DS, soon both of them boosted to be the money making machines in very short time. Of course, the elites never miss opportunity even the silver lining, MS and Sony couldn’t wait announcing their own unique sensor play system.<br/><br/>The “Project Natal”, the new controller-free gaming and entertainment experience from Xbox 360, had received a wide publicity since the day it appeared among crowd. Natal sensor tracks full-body movement and individual voices without any form of controller. From the demo, the new system achieved extremely accurate capture on every movement and the feedback of player’s voice and even little shiftin front of screen. And “the corresponding games are almostly complete”.<br/><br/>Sony’s PSi sensor, more likely a combination of Wiimote and Eye Toy, still retained the traditional gameplay style, indicating the necessity of real controller. With the additional PS3 camera, PSi sensor bringed more comprehensive experiences in motion capture and interactive communication. It is estimated that PSi will be come into the market in the early 2010.<br/><br/>Nintendo had been regarded as the leader of remote sensor for a long time. Motion Plus made Wii a great improvement, however, this time Nintendo was little bit shy to demonstrate its new appendage: Vitality Sensor on E3, lefting a pulse counter-liked gadget only. At first sight it was just kinda concept product, but who knew what the hell Nintendo was planing to do after seeing the long long registered patent list?<br/><br/>Here we do not only describe these sensors but let readers know the truth that:<br/><br/>1. No matter what advanced tech is used in videogame sensor or how amazing it looks like, MS and Sony are just following behide Nintendo to gain a slice of cake. And there won’t be such blockbuster like Wii and Nintendo years ago anymore. The market will cool down when people got familiar with a new entertainment conception.<br/><br/>2. The great success of Nintendo on sensor is not a one-day work, the countless advertising investment and interaction of consumer in these years are the key to make Nintendo smash hit, and can not be substituted by a 15-minute demo show of MS or Sony on E3 with ease.<br/><br/>3. People are interested in games but not the videogame play system itself. Every successful console is based on the masterpieces games on its own. Nintendo has many great sensor-related games which had been proved to produce so much favourable comment from people worldwide. Where are the games on XBox360 or PS3 now?<br/><br/><br/><br/><a href=''>Valerie</a></div>
