Sony Pushes Back Motion Controller

posted on January 20th, 2010 - Filed in Uncategorized - No comments »


While it’s nice to hear an update on Sony’s Motion Controller, it’s not the news I was hoping for. Word from Sony this morning is Motion Controller (tentative name) will not be released this spring, rather fall of 2010. While we can all speculate until the cows come home on why it’s being delayed Sony says it comes down to the games.

Review: Dark Void – PS3, Xbox 360, PC

What mysteries lie in the Bermuda Triangle? The famed region of the Atlantic Ocean has been the basis of many tales. What happens to the planes and ships that disappear in the Devil’s Triangle? Do they merely sink into the ocean never to be seen again? Or do they they become trapped forever in a parallel dimension? This is the question Capcom’s latest sci-fi adventure Dark Void tackles.

While I’ve had two opportunities to play the game over the past year, I have to admit I wasn’t overly impressed. The game froze and crashed at two separate events I attended. In fact I never did get a good feel for the game until I got my review copy last week. So how did the final product turn out? While it’s not the game I was hoping for, but it’s not nearly as bad as I had feared.

Points for Jake

posted on January 18th, 2010 - Filed in Uncategorized - 3 comments »

JakeI have a secret admission.  I haven’t been able to get into this season of The Bachelor as much as the others.  We’ve been watching Jake drown in ridiculously over the top female drama.  BUT Jake earned some serious points in Episode 3 by actually standing his ground!  Nice to see Apple Pie make some solid calls.  That means sending the rif raf home early.  By rif raf I mean Michelle.

KNOCK KNOCK.  IT’S CRAZY HUSBAND HUNTER.

We know we’re in for a some seriously painful moments when Jake is sent on a group date at Jon Lovitz’ comedy club.  The girls are challenged to perform in front of a live audience – *wince*.  Hard to watch.  First Tenley lies down and puts her feet over her head – who knew our Disney Princess knew such party tricks?  Awkward, yet I still find her adorable.  It went downhill from there though.  Elizabeth’s “raunchy” routine was mostly edited because she was recounting some kind of rendezvous with another man.  Helloooo wildly inappropriate story with expletives.  Not very Apple Pie friendly.  THEN Michelle the Crazy Husband Hunter makes a crack that went something like “Did anyone notice something missing from the palm trees?  That’s right.  It’s coconuts.  Cause they’re right here wating for Jake.“  Taps the mic on her chest.  *Crickets*.

What could possibly be worse than terrible stand-up comedy?  Let’s ask the Crazy Husband Hunter, she’ll know.  CHH proceeded to fight with the girls, tantrum and cry off by herself.  Through her tears Michelle lures Jake in and asks him to kiss her:  “would it be awkward if I asked you to kiss me?”  um, YES!.  CHH then cuts him down saying “you gotta give me somethin more than that”.  Then she threatens to leave.  For the second time.

The best part – Jake took her up on it!  Crazy Husband Hunter is sent home, no rose ceremony necessary.  Excess baggage off the flight.  Score 1 for Jake.

NO MORE KISSING GAME

I liked Elizabeth from the get go – but the girl’s game blew up in her face.  Last week Elizabeth told Jake she wouldn’t lock lips until she was chosen to get Jake’s final rose.  Jake *actually* called Elizabeth out telling her to stop being a tease.  Elizabeth didn’t give though.  She continued to play the no-kissing tease card, now totally transparent and gross.  I didn’t think Jake would be smart (or assertive enough) to see Elizabeth’s play much less confront her about it.  BIG surprise, Jake sends coy Elizabeth home.  Score more points for Pavelka.

AND FINALLY, TENLEY *ISN’T* EXPECTING

Last week it was all over entertainment news that Tenley was going to confess that she is pregnant.  *Sometimes* rumors end up coming from a place of truth – not the case here. Tenley’s only confession was to tell Jake that she had been married, was betrayed and heartbroken, and is now divorced.  Honesty is the best policy – Jake’s a big fan of the truth and of Tenley.  She’s still a top pick!  Especially after that little party trick.

NOW here’s the question which I’m sure will be answered next week – why does everyone (especially Ali) hate Vienna?  I don’t get it.

Until next week Bachelor Fans!

Ringette Rocks!

posted on January 15th, 2010 - Filed in Uncategorized - No comments »

BT was in the middle of the action for Day 1 of the 24th Annual Esso Golden Ring! 184 teams from across the country are in Calgary this weekend for the world’s largest ringette tournament.  We had a blast spending the morning with some of the teams and I was so impressed with the girls – they are great friends and are so supportive of each other!  Special thanks to little Alex (6 years old and already a star on the rink) and mom Nicole for giving me a passing lesson (love the pink laces Alex!).  The Calgary Vortex gave us a team cheer and I scored the 101 on ringette messy bun – thanks ladies!
