Head Games

If you can think it, you can do it… literally.

Last month AP put out a story about a wonderful little company called NeuroSKY Inc. that was in later development of brainwave reading technology. The products that they plan to market (come June), in Japan, will be geared for the video game industry.

Imagine playing as master chief with nothing but a head set on ! The technology is based on a biofeedback system that has been implemented in neuro-therapy for a few decades now. More recently these bio feedback systems have been used by professional athletes, to develop their focus.

Though they already sell some technologies for the Playstation, PS2 and original Xbox, they only have a prototype that can hook up to PS3, Wii and Xbox 360. According to the article, the company has plans to debut the technology stateside sometime in October.

The headset being worn by NeuroSky software engineer Horance Ko captures brain wave signals measuring anxiety, attention, drowsiness, and meditation levels. Advocates say toys with even the most basic brain wave-reading technology could boost mental focus and help kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism and mood disorders.

Wii at Wendy’s

That’s right kiddos, it looks like Wendy’s restaurants will soon have Wii toys! Someone at GoNintendo caught wind of the line up.

I was a big fan of Wendy’s when they had the southwest Ranch Chicken Burger. But for the most part, my fast food preferences have lied with McDonalds. Especially because they had free Wi-Fi at a lot of locations.
But it looks like I’m gonna have to make some room for Wendy in my life, sorry Ronald.

Halo 2 is NOT worth Vista

3 hours of installation, 2 hours of driver updating and my PC had Vista ready to roll…like Ludacris just pimped out my operating system.

6 hours and 2 crashes later, I’m wondering where I put my warranty. Apparently Windows Vista has some bugs to work out, but that isn’t stopping Microsoft from releasing Halo 2 (for PC) as a Vista exclusive.

Already, fans are taking a hard blow as Bungie has con-firmed that Xbox players will not be able to play with or against players on a PC. This is contrary to what Bill Gates said at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show. Bill Gates, lie? Certainly not to sell some soft-ware…

Now, with the release coming up in May, Halo 2 fans are going to find it hard to play a game on a FREQUENTLY failing operating system.

The cult that Microsoft has built around the Halo franchise may be appealing to any frat boy with an Xbox 360, but to true FPS players and all PC owners this is a sucker punch to the kidneys.

This whole “Vista Exclusive” thing is going to get worse before it gets better.
