Nintendo 3DS Notes from E3
Top screen 3.5″ and capable of displaying 3D Graphics.
3D Depth Slider adjusts how much 3D is involved. You can go to max or to none at all.
Bottom Screen is still a touch screen.
Analog Stick above the D-Pad on the left side. They are calling it the Slide Control. I wonder if it is like the PSP Analog stick….
Improved Graphics capabilities
1 Camera on the front and 2 on the back. Allows you to take a picture and view it in 3D.
DS supports 3D movies but it does not say exactly how the content will get on the device.
3D Glasses are not needed as everyone knew.
Kid Icarus: Uprising will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS. (Why does the music on the trailer sound like it is from the Love Boat?) Looks pretty good and fun.
Communication between multiple 3DS automatic communication no matter what game is being played. They also can connect via Wi-Fi.
New version of Nintendog coming….now with CATS!
Square Enix (Kingdom Hearts), Level5, EA, Capcom, WB Games, Ubisoft, and Konami (Metal Gear Solid) providing games to the 3DS.
During the trailer I saw a Star Fox fighter fly out. Do a barrel roll! That and Reggie was attacked by Bowser. Nice…
WTF Nintendo. They have a bunch of chicks with a 3DS’s attached to their belts and they are walking around to people in the theater at E3 so they can try them. Booth babes are one thing but this is just odd.

New Goldeneye coming to the Wii this Holiday Season
Nintendo just announced that GoldenEye will be coming to the Wii.
Good News:
Looks like the original N64 Goldeneye.
Split-Screen Play
Classic Bond Villians
Paintball Mode
Nostalgia Value is high
Bad News:
It looks exactly like the original Goldeneye.
FPS games have come a long way since the original. Will this game hold on to it’s nostalgia value or actually embrace innovation?
I am excited about shooting a guy sitting on the toilet from the vents with a silenced PPK just to see his hat fly off. (Don’t judge me!)
Here is a couple pics from Kotaku.

Gencon 2010!
I am getting ready to purchase my 2010 Gencon badges and I was wondering if anyone else is coming.
If not, I plan on bringing a camera and HD video camera. What would you like me to focus on the first couple days? (I plan on taking pics and lurking the first couple days and then getting some gaming on the last couple days. )
Suggestions?

Console Envy!
I have been gaming since the early 80′s and I could not tell you what half of these consoles are.
See if you can do any better!

Decisions…Decisions…..
I am planning on picking up a game this weekend but I am not sure which one to grab. It is a toss-up between Borderlands, Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Assassins Creed 2. Modern Warfare 2 is leading the pack but I am not sure for how long.

Sorry….
I have been very busy this last week or so and have neglected this site. I have been busy playing Forza 3, finishing up Brutal Legend and started playing Mount & Blade again…..man that is a GREAT game. I plan on giving full reviews to Forza 3 shortly.

T-Mobile Network Down!
About 8:00 PM EST I noticed that I did not have a signal on my G1. After a couple minutes of messing around I started getting concerned that something larger was going on. My first thought might be due to a past due bill or maybe my daughter using my phone as a hammer.
I tried to get on the T-Mobile website and the damn thing would not load. After a couple searches on Google turned up nothing, I was lost. Then I ran over to Twitter and found T-Mobile to be a trending topic. It looks like there is a ton of people with the same problem!
So far there has not been a word from T-Mobile but I have my guess. I have a data plan on my phone and my wife has an unlocked Iphone with no data plan. Her phone works great and is currently on the phone with friends.
They better have this fixed by tomorrow morning since I use my phone mainly for work.
Oh I forgot…..nice job T-Mobile.
Edit 1: Looks like T-Mobile announced it was having problems on it’s Twitter account.

Edit 2: I got word that a factory reset helps with G1 voice issues. Gonna give it a try and update.
Edit 3: Factory Reset did nothing for my phone. All I get is “Your Sim card does not allow a connection to this network”. Since my wife has a perfect signal, I believe it has to have something to do with individual Sim cards.
Edit 4: New update from T-Mobile. They state that they are making progress…..http://ow.ly/z2hQ . I will believe it when I see it here.

Sick….H1N1
Based on some initial symptoms and a nurse/doctors phone diagnose, looks like the family has H1N1. I am slowly getting a sore throat, headache and a little achy. My 3 year old has been hit the worse.
I might not be posting much over the next week or so as we recover.
