The End of the Xbox
I'm gonna have to keep this short, because I'm between classes and need to read some shit.
Microsoft announced the other day their intentions to can 5000 employees and lay off another 1800 on top of that. I've been campaigning for a while that it would be unlikely for us to see any new Xboxes after the Xbox 360, and the news that most of Microsoft's cuts will be coming from the mostly unprofitable entertainment and devices division seems to help my case a quite a bit.
The Xbox and Zune have never set well with me based on their lack of originality and business models, and I'm feeling like these things will finally be fixing themselves. That's not to say they have both been complete failures (actually, Zune has absolutely been a complete failure); Xbox has definitely helped push the video game console business into the online age. But the lack of wi-fi in the 360 is the type of mistake that microsoft makes that causes me to scratch my head in disbelief. What goddamn year is it, Microsoft? Is it still 1337? No. It's not goddamn 1337. Every other major console on the market (handhelds included) has goddamn wi-fi. Even the original Nintendo DS came with wi-fi built in when it was released way the fuck back in 2004. The Xbox 360 (an HD console, not a handheld) came out a year later, relying on goddamn ethernet.
I could go on all day with my Microsoft problems (and I know I probably should), but like I said, I got shitz to do. I'll be back on here soon to share with everyone the future of the gaming industry with the state of the economy. Interesting thins are about to happen, and I know exactly how things are going to play out. So, if you haven't already, bookmark this blog so you don't forget to check back to find out where to invest your money in the near future.

Nintendon't What Nintendo Do...Fuck
Have you ever wished someone would chronicle Nintendo's entire 119 year history? Well, as they say in the business, "The past is past; the future is now."
If you've tried playing your Wii or DS online, you probably realized Nintendo wi-fi doesn't work too well with your router. It might work for a few rounds of Smash Bros., but then comes the crash. I know, it's a bitch. You might not have experienced this problem, had you been of the lucky few to purchase the Nintendo Wi-fi Connector for the Windows PC before its discontinuation long ago. Luckily, Nintendo has finally come to its senses (kinda). They just announced the Nintendo Wii/DS wi-fi router. The great thing about this piece of equipment is the amout of customization it comes with. You can hook it up to your PC, and use it like a normal router. You can hook it up to the Wii, and it will connect to other wireless routers. You can stand it upsidedown. You can look at it. It even has a sweetass switch on its backside. The possibilities are endless. The best part of it? It retails for only $53, unless, that is, if you live in Japan, where you'll be paying ¥5800, which is about $53.998 right now. (More information.)
So, what do Mario and Family Guy have in common?
