I must say I have been watching more than my fair share of the Winter Olympics this year. Overall, It has been a very exciting event to watch. I can’t help and think back to my first exposure to the winter games.

The year was 1984, I was 10 years old and I was on the Atari 130 XE. I remember spending many hours on Summer Games, a summer Olympic video game. The diving event was definitely my favorite.

So there you have it folks it is Wii or Die! I am truly shocked that the average age of gamers is between 18-49, and that the best selling game of all time is Wii Sports. Well, maybe not as surprised because even the old folks in Century Village in Florida are  wii bowling to their hearts content, they must have finally been tired from all the love making. Oh yes, I did not forget that lil’ tid bit of news, though I wish I had.  Also 2 out of 5 gamers are females, Yahoo! I thank Wii fit for that one, a lot  of Cougars are loving getting fit in the comfort of their own home as they get ready before a night out on the prowl. Either way pretty informative, yet disturbing.

Jesus Christ, there is a form group for people who want Pandora to be real. They keep watching it to relieve their depression, only to awake and realize that we are all still in a crappy recession. It all makes sense now to how “Avatar” made a billion. Why don’t you just play the game to relive it? Oh right, not so good. I am telling you though, all those Ava-hards saw it and wished they too could be blue kitties flying on birds in the sky. I watched the movie in 2d so that is why perhaps I was not as connected to “the world, but I did try to attach my hair to my guinea pig to connect with her but she she just started to biting on it. Oh well! More on the forum after the break.

A few years ago I was given an Atari Flashback unit for my birthday. It was a cute little device that resembled an Atari 7800. I enjoyed it, but how many of us actually had an Atari 7800 in the 80’s? By the time the 7800 was released, everyone had already moved on either to the Commodore 64 platform or Apple IIC or Atari Home Computers. The AF1 however was a hit in sales however, selling over 500,000 units.

Overall, Atari fans were not happy, the console was overly tiny, used poor 7800 styled sticks, and used an “NES-on-a-chip” for the actual hardware with the original 2600 games ported over. The games suffered, and were hard pressed to truly represent the original 2600 experience let alone the 7800.

It all begins tomorrow, Erick Scarecrow will put 3 Soopa Maria Warhol APs up for sale on his ebay page. If you are not as lucky and do not snatch one of those up, you luckily get a second chance on Dec.28th. On that blessed day, you get a chance to get your gritty hands on a Soopa Maria Lanna which is seen above, I would say an adorable version of Luigi. Both you will be able to purchase at his shop, which is a rarity because those Soopas are a dime a dozen and fly off the shelves like hotcakes. Perhaps there is still a chance a loved one can get me the Warhol AP version before Christmas, so it can be all pretty in pink with my other Scarecrow collectibles.  I will fight to the death to win either figure, I wish you all luck! Picture of Warhol AP after the break. P.S. Follow Erick on Twitter here.

"According to the Daily What, Ric Turner, a former Disney 'imagineer' and special effects specialist, turned his yard into a game of Guitar Hero, built out of 21,268 lights and LEDs, that plays Eric Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover." To program the show a video recording was made of a perfect round of Guitar Hero playing Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover. The timing of all the dots and the light show choreography follow that video. When you play, you watch only the Christmas lights, but the audio you hear is from the Wii, so your flubs are broadcast for all to hear (people in cars can tune 99.1 and crank it up as loud as they want.)"

Nice going Disney! The Princess and the Frog and now this! I was quite amazed when I saw the video, which you can all see after the break. Well, Mrjuandrful you know what to do right? Create a DJ Hero Christmas light show to compete! Come on there is still time.

I have to say that one thing that I love about Obama and Joe is how much they are into tehcnology and advancments. A good show is this is Joe Biden’s son purchased Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Ok Mr. Biden or Mr. Obama are not the ones that purchased it themselves but I would kill to see Obama or Biden playing the infamous “No Russian” with him. Is that really one of Biden’s sons? Who knows and cares but it makes for good humor!
