Do you guys remember the Flowbee? This guy at work order something similar to it but better and he received it today. He says it is better than the Flowbee. I thought it was hilarious!

My car battery is dying a slow death. Maybe because I don't drive it that much or is it because I bought the battery at Costco. The battery is a little over a year old.

Quote:
"If I were to sum up my feelings on NBA Live 09 following the event it would be that there are a bunch of new, very exciting and fun additions to the game. However the overall gameplay still has several underlying issues that are difficult to ignore."

IGN has posted the following NCAA Football 09 updates:
  • NCAA 09 Play of the Day: 7/7 (360)

    Quote:
    "Our first rivalry is the "Bedlam Series", pitting Oklahoma State University against the University of Oklahoma. While the actual series itself consists of games and meets across multiple sports, the "Bedlam Game" refers specifically to the football matchup between the two."
  • NCAA Football 09 Screenshots (PSP)
  • NCAA Football 09 Videos (PSP)
  • NCAA Football 09 Interview (PS2)

    Quote:
    IGN: "We noticed that there's now specific matchup play prep for an opponent with crowd noise in this year's game. Can you talk a bit about that?"

    Rick Lopez: "This was something we added to Dynasty mode to help prepare the User for each week's games. Practice mode was reorganized to allow for training against the upcoming opponent's specific defensive playbook and along with that you can adjust artificial crowd noise during practice to better prepare for the game atmosphere."

Skate It Update (1up, Gamespot, Gamespy)
01:35 AM - July 8, 2008. Posted by hdaniel1. Written by Daniel Hee
The following websites has posted updates for Skate It:
  • 1up: Skate It Preview

    Quote:
    "The Wii Remote controls are still surprisingly intuitive and responsive, with you moving the motion controller as you wish to move the skateboarder -- turning it left and right to turn, tilting it up and down to manual and nose manual, and flicking it quickly upward to jump."
  • Gamespot: Skate It Updated Hands-On

    Quote:
    "When you first step on the balance board, it will automatically detect your center of balance and set that as the neutral point in terms of steering and doing manuals."
  • Gamespy: Skate It Preview (DS)

    Quote:
    "Using a stylus, you draw quick strokes on the skateboard to simulate shifting your weight or kicking. For instance, a quick swipe from the rear of the board to the front will do an ollie. A similar swipe from the back of the board and then off to either side will do a kickflip or heelflip."
  • Gamespy: Skate It Preview (Wii)

    Quote:
    "Using the Wiimote to control a skateboard is actually surprisingly straightforward. You simply point the controller at the TV and hold it level, imagining that the controller is the deck of your board."

Work flew by so fast because I was freakin' busy all day, well, except at the end of the work day. I could already see that tomorrow is going to be fun. Have to cover a section since that person is going on a vacation for one day and there is no backup, vacant position! Ugh!

My Fourth of July went pretty well. Saw the fireworks display right down at the bay, just a short hop to the bay. Then of course went to the bar. Heh!

So I didn't post any news yesterday, since it was the Fourth of July. Decided to post today since most sites don't have the Fourth of July off. Turns out, not that much news anyways.

Stay tuned later in the day for the Weekly Wrap Up post. If you are fairly new here, every Saturday, I post a Weekly Wrap Up post containing links to OS original content posted through out the week.
