Links Crossbow Training
The Legend of Zelda series is my favourite, so of course I’m excited about this title, even if it is more of a Mini Game. Nintendo are releasing a Gun for the Wii named the Zapper, and you will receive this game free!

Okami [Wii] Announcement
Okami is a beautiful game. It is such a shame it did not receive the attention it deserves. The Wii Port will give Okami a well deserved second chance, and the Wii Remote is ideal for this game. The Wii is perfect for this game in fact, and it should have been released on it exclusively.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl – Sonic Revealed
Finally! Mario and Sonic get to fight it out. (The Olympics don’t count!) Long time fans of both franchises are going to have a lot of fun with this.

Bionic Commando
This really surprised me! I never thought of a sequel to good ol Bionic Commando. The cinematic looks nice, but I would like to see more of the combat and game mechanics.

The Chaser’s War on Everything – 110 – Free Money Test

Bookoo — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:35:47 +0000

You know those people on the street and outside of supermarkets etc who try hand you fliers, advertising their product or service? I admit that I try to avoid them if possible, and making eye contact with them is a big mistake LOL. The Chaser Team conducted a test to see if people would take notice when it was actual Money being handed out instead.

Another round of my Favourite Game Trailers of the Moment. I don’t have much time to comment this time though!

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
I used to play the Mario Kart series a lot, and also Diddy Kong Racing. It has been a while, so I am looking forward to playing another Kart Racing game, especially from Nintendo.

Yakuza 3
This is as close as I am going to get to playing Shenmue III, and I just love Historical Japan set games anyways.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Always been a huge fan of the series. It’s so much fun, especially playing with your mates! I played Melee a lot more than the original. Brawl is looking to give more of the same plus heaps more, it should be awesome!

Left / Right Brain Test

Bookoo — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:57:58 +0000

My Sister sent me this Image that is meant to see whether you’re more Left or Right Brained. So…take a look at the image below, and take note of what direction she is rotating.

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of your brain.
If anti-clockwise, then you use more of the left side of your brain.

Personally, the first time she was turning Clockwise. Then just today, she was spinning Anti-Clockwise. BUT then I concentrated and could make her spin the other way. I think I’ve always been more Right Brained, but possess the functions of both, and change between the two a lot. I don’t know how accurate or what scientific basis this has LOL but it was a little fun! Below is a list of the Left & Right Brain functions. Let me know what you came up with, and if you were able to change her direction at will!

Left Brain Functions:

Uses Logic
Detail Oriented
Facts Rule
Words & Language
Present & Past
Math & Science
Can Comprehend
Knowing
Acknowledges
Order / Pattern Perception
Knows Object Name
Reality Based
Forms Strategies
Practical
Safe

Right Brain Functions:

Uses Feeling
“Big Picture” Oriented
Imagination Rules
Symbols & Images
Present & Future
Philosophy & Religion
Can “Get It” (Meaning)
Believes
Appreciates
Spatial Perception
Knows Object Function
Fantasy Based
Presents Possibilities
Impetuous
Risk taking

Dead Fantasy I

Bookoo — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 13:35:27 +0000

Wow…just wow. Monty Oum is a game fan video maker, who became famous for “Haloid”, which pit Samus Aran against Master Chief, in an epic battle. However, this post is on his new fan video named Dead Fantasy I, and I just watched it and was totally blown away! This time it is female Final Fantasy characters against female Dead or Alive characters! You just need to watch it to understand how amazing it is. Right at the end, when the last combatant was revealed, I was expecting a different character, but I am sure this was done on purpose, but the choice was freaking awesome and I can’t wait for part II! I will put Haloid below as well. Monty Oum is brilliant, and he hasn’t even gone professional yet. Enjoy!

Cool Personal Avatar Generator

Bookoo — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:11:32 +0000

I was shown this cool site where you can generate an avatar of yourself, which has quite a wide range of options to really personalise it.

Real Life Super Mario Bros. Mushroom

Here is a time lapsed video of an Amanita Muscaria mushroom, which looks like the mushroom from Super Mario Bros. games.

The Chaser’s War on Everything – 110 – Surprise Spruiker – Medibank Private

Bookoo — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:51:07 +0000

The Surprise Spruiker goes to an organisation and sets up his portable microphone system, and starts to “sell” their product or services to the public walking by. This is the Chaser, so of course it is full of sarcasm and satire, regarding any issues they are having at the moment! This time it is the Australian government owned health insurer, Medibank Private. What the hell is a Spruiker? – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spruiker

Declutter your Desk

Bookoo — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:40:45 +0000

I randomly found myself at a site showing how you can “Declutter” your desk using a pegboard system. I thought of doing something similar a long time ago, since I usually have a spaghetti of cords from my PC and other devices. I think it is a cool idea if you could be bothered to do it, as it is not very difficult.
