Still having trouble finding a Nintendo Wii 6 months after launch? Me too but the guys over at UNEASYsilence are giving away a Wii Sports-less Wii for free. What’s the catch you ask? Well for starters you need to be lucky as the winner will be picked at random and second all you need to do is spread the word about the contest. Blog about it, bookmark it on del.icio.us, digg it, twitter it, tumblr about it, they don’t care. After you you link to the giveaway, just post the link as a comment and just wait. I entered the last giveaway they won but walked away empty handled but who knows about this time.

New publisher Xider plans on releasing a DS game bases on Jeff Smiths epic Bone comic this year. Right now the title will be released in Europe with no word on a US release.

Captain N: The Game Master was one of those Saturday morning cartoons I watched religiously. Where else could I mixed my two favorite things as a child, cartoons and video games, in one package. I still have nightmares of Motherbrain and her drag queen voice.

All 3 seasons are finally available now in one 4 disc DVD set. Amazon has the set listed for $29.99 and I’ve already added it to my Netflix queue.

Something bad happened.

I was playing Elite Beat Agents and got to Episode 11: NURSE! Gold Medal Hero or Zero!!. While playing the level I was really getting into the beat and the rhythm for the level. After I beat it, I went and played it again just because it was so fun to play. Then I got curious what the song was and who it was by. A quick google search later i got my answer.

Its a freakin Ashlee Simpson song! Damn you pop rhythm-y goodness.

I’m so embarrassed.

For Christmas this year, I treated myself to a new Nintendo DS case after seeing a pre-order picture of it over at theory.isthereason. I ordered it right before Christmas so I didn’t get in until a few days ago due to the holidays.

I absolutely love this case. The quality is exceptional as to be expected from Waterfield Designs. The case itself holds the DS Lite itself, 3 games and an extra stylus. In addition it had a zippered pouch in the back that can hold addition games, headphones, lint free rag, cash, even my iPod nano fits without it being too tight. I really couldn’t ask for more in a case. The case its a little pricey at $39 but its well worth it

I’ve posted a ton of pictures on Flickr if you’d like to see more of it.

Remember Seaman? Yup that Seaman, the one originally released for the Dreamcast. We’ll he’s back and in and not so much a “Sea”man this time around. The basis is that a bones from a mini ape man were discovered and a company has cloned them to create mini ape man pets.

Thats about all the information that has been released. It will be on the PS2 and support voice communication with your seaman just like the original and a special PS2 controller sporting a built-in mic will be available when its released next year in Japan. No US release date yet.

I don’t know about you but this type of game would be perfect for the Nintendo DS. Dual screens, built-in mic, stylist. A game like this could work very well on the DS.
