Thankfully creative people like Alyce Santoro are out there to do creative things with the millions of miles of old cassette tape floating around out there. She spends hours recording ambient sounds onto old tape, then knits it into fabric for use in creating clothing and other every-day objects. She is working on a specially designed tape head to “read” her fabric and play it back. Her fabric is available by the yard if you have your own creative ideas to use this recycling hack for.

So there I was getting some headphone at my local pharmacy, which is a definite no-no for the audiophile in me - but i had no choice, when I spot something that intrigued me: a flashlight. Why is this flashlight different? Well, this flashlight can use 3 kinds of batteries: C, D, and AA. Not only that, but when one pair dies out you can easily just flip a switch and be using the next set. There’s no need to even fiddle around in your closet to find an old boom box that may contain 4 or 5 dead C batteries. Just awesomely practical.

Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Role Playing Games, Xbox 360,
Microsoft has landed a licensing agreement with Marvel to develop a Massively Multiplayer Online Game using its 5,000 plus characters. Seems that Microsoft really wants to take advantage of the fact that MMOGs are becoming ever so popular with the decreasing price of Broadband connections and community feel of this game type. This will be interesting to see how they incorporate this type of games for the Xbox 360 and just how popular they will be. Check out the full press release after the jump.

Rumor has it that Nintendo will be offering Metroid Prime: Hunters with purchase of a Nintendo DS shortly after the game is released, giving late-comers the full version of the game rather than just a demo. Similar to the Mario bundle being offered, the Metroid bundle will definitely help sales – especially since it will be available in time for the holidays.

20 Greatest PS2 RPG’s: Dominated by Squaresoft
Posted by Sparky Categories: PlayStation 2, Role Playing Games,
1Up has posted a great feature on the 20 best RPG’s for the Playstation 2. I was quite pleased to see a couple of my favorites listed on there. I was also pleased to see one of my favorite publishers dominating the pack - Square with Final Fantasy X, X-2, XI, Kingdom of Hearts, and Star Ocean - Till the End of Time. While the sentimental gamer in me misses the good old days of FF 3 for the SNES games like Star Ocean - Till the End of Time keep reminding me what a creative publisher can do with a powerful modern console.

Silent Hill Movie Shots
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Action, PlayStation 2, Role Playing Games,
The movie to one of the scariest games ever made is looking good. Seems they are really trying to replicate a lot of the scenery that fans of the game are accustomed to. This is a nice change from the movies that are loosely based on the games content that they are trying to recreate. It will be interesting indeed to see how this one turns out. Check out the pictures from the Photobucket album.

Burnout is one of those games that is just plain fun to play - and keep playing. Its stylized destruction-centric gameplay approach is always a blast – even if you only play it to cause the AI’s cars to crumble into pieces. Burnout: Revenge is the sequel many people are waiting for which will be released later this year for the PS2 and the Xbox. GamePlayMonthly has some nice screenshots of both versions that are looking mighty promising.

Belkin just introduced a great little product: the Belkin Flip. It’s a mostly run of the mill KVM switcher to enable you to use two computers with a single keyboard, mouse, and monitor - but with excellent industrial design. It’s sized to fit underneath a Mac Mini to enable people with an existing computer to buy a mini and hook it into their existing setup. It seems well designed in that the Flip requires no power, and needs no additional cables - it does everything it needs to do right out of the box, and all in a swank little form factor.
