So Fallout 3 is coming out in about 2 weeks. If you’ve played any of the previous Fallouts, you’ll know that they’ve been RPGs… and good ones, too.
So if you’ve seen the trailer, or any screens, you’ll know that F3 very, very much looks like an FPS. Actually, it’s not… It’s still an RPG, played in the 1st (or 3rd) person, and allows you to freeze time and queue attacks, which then play back “cinimatically”. I am officially excited for this game! 
As everyone (EVERYONE) knows by now, tech moves at an incredibly high pace. And there seems to be a lot of techies trying things out in the world of music (DS DJ, Touch Screens).
Well, althought this one still is a bit rough around the edges, it is easily the most HOLY CRAP tech demo I’ve seen recently.

just check out the vid!
if you haven’t started playing yet… here you go

For the uninitiated…. someone hacked a floppy disk/drive to play the Imperial March from Star Wars.

Sorry for the slow updates, recently… working on this month’s playlist
Here’s a little something a friend forwarded to me. The Rolly came out last year, and I had been keeping up with it prior to launch, but when the price was announced, I quickly lost interest. It’s almost pointless, but it’s a cool display of new tech. At the very least, it’s a cool conversation piece.
Interested in buying it? Sony Rolly

So last weekend I re-did my media setup. TV… computer(s)… XBox.
Along with re-doing the setup, I also realized that the default method of sharing media from your PC to your XBox (and consequently watching it on your TV), using WMP 11, KILLS your CPU cycles even when you’re not actually using it!
So I asked some friends, and a few of them are using TVersity. It’s not specifically for the XBox, which is great, because there are A LOT of ways to share with this app.
The install took about 3 minutes (it installs a bunch of codecs to help play extra media file types), and as soon as I looked in my XBox… bam! there it was. Easy-peasy!!
Hope it helps… now excuse me while i watch movies listen to music and look at my photo album through my XBox and TV.
The thing about technology is that you’re cutting edge one day, but by the next someone’s made it cheaper and smaller.
Protein[DS] software for your Nintendo DS is available here.
Yeah… that’s right… your Nintendo DS is now a performance tool.

WTB!!!
Actually, if I could just get the case, that’d be pretty sweet!

Music is interesting for many reasons; two are that it can be found anywhere and made with anything. Case-in-point, the video above. There are several video game themes throughout the level, and some music from anime as well. Hacks exsist for all types of programs, and the one above is a hack that allows users to create custom levels for Super Mario World. The user created a level that is completely automated; meaning all he did was start the level, and all the buttons, springs, and treadmills moved Mario along without further intput from the player.
