I've seen lots of tv shows showing how concept cars are made for audio companies, but I've never seen one based off of a video game console.
I'm impressed with the dual Xboxen, the monitor mounted in the engine bay for the front driver and passenger and the rear projection system mounted in the ceiling to project out to the rear trunk screen.
Woohoo! Our first submission email!
I got an email from, of all things, airlinecreditcards.com that keeps a blog about travel destinations. Jessica Hupp posted up about the top 25 Gamer Vacation Destinations.
Some of the destinations don't make much sense (Beach rental?), so I'm not sure if 25 was just a magic number (though I probably would take a DS to the beach, so okay, you got me). But there are some real winners in here.
Penny Arcade Expo is definetly on my list of things to do. Especially since we have friends and family on the west coast to stay with. E3 would be nice, but I'm afraid my blogger cred will never get me into such an exclusive (especially since the recent format change) event.
So if you're planning this summer's vacation with the family and want to sneak in some gaming, suggest some of these but don't mention the fact that there is gaming there. That's a true Part Time Gamer tactic for ya. Always intend to get your game on, even in the most unlikely spots.
I don't understand how click-through ads make money in the first place, because I never use them. But I also don't watch late night infomercials or buy stuff out of those as-seen-on-tv catalogs.
But I love how search engines on the internet turn everything you look for into an ad. My example:
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own a suit of Mjolnir armor, but a Halo "brand" of it? There really needs to be a better formula for these ads other than, "Buy your *insert search request here* for cheap!"
And trust me when I say, no one, absolutely no one sells items for your '07 Warthog that is sitting your imaginary driveway.
is the most vile stuff I've ever tasted. It may be because I can't stand artificial cherry flavors. Especially when it tastes like bad cough syrup.
I'm not sure I'll be buying a second bottle for my game room collection. I tend to only buy things that are good.
Maybe I'll have better luck at 7-11, where the Halo 3 collector slurpee cups can be filled with normal, good tasting Mt. Dew slurpee.
