Pew Pew Lasers!

Today has been a bit of a slow day here, nothing intense has come my way, at least nothing I cant handle.

Few developments in the X-box 360 world, like the pushing of the HDMI technology in even the lower models. I'm a big fan of shiny things, and HDMI deffinately fits that category. I actually hope to buy one of these 360's soon enough and stop having to borrow it. Now there is a console war going on out there, Wii PS3 and the Xbox 360 are all in hot competition to keep on top of the market. As it stands, Wii is quickly catching up, and likely to pass the 360 soon. But who cares about sales, lets talk about play-ablity. I have finally had my chance to interact with all three either in a best buy or at a friends place, and ive come to the conclusion, that the console war, is no longer about which one is best. The truth is, Wii is interactive on a whole new physical level. The 360 is interactive on a shiny colorful 3d world level. The ps3 is interactive on a level most game companies cant even program for yet. All this in mind, I'm looking for shiny. I work out frequently enough that the wii would get annoying after a while, though a revolutionary system, I want a little more bang for my buck. The biggest draw to the 360 for me is the new and upcoming Rock Band, this game is going to be hella fun, and with the ability to play with others via the net makes this an instant win. I could go on for hours about game systems, but lets leave it at the 360 for now.

Thats a pretty though article to top, but I have some technology thats criminally insane. I dugg a article today about a Portalaser now what the heck is a Portalaser? Its a backpack powered lazergun that can kill bacteria or whatever happens to be growing on the side of your building/car/sidewalk. The current models aren't very high powered so you cant shoot through anything, but who wants that? Nextgen Poralasers will be in the shape of a m16a2 and be able to shoot high powered bursts. They will have to develop some sort of cooling system, but these are those laser weapons of the future we have been waiting for since you played your first FPS. Watch out stormtroopers this weapon is Insane AND Technologically Adept.

Truly, what I want to see happen is an HD Virtual Reality headset with the same gyroscopic motion sensing technology of the wii controller. Together, the two could truly rock the pants off the interactive experience.
As per laser backpack, I'm thinking it's the government's latest attempt to thwart the coming legoman invasion.
