OnLive: The Future of Video Gaming

The end of the console gaming is imminent! But don't worry a much better technology will hopefully replace it. It's called OnLive and it streams games over the internet to a small box that can be connected to anything with a screen. That means you can hook it up to your TV, PC or Mac computer and you don't need to have the latest and greatest technology to run it. It works by streaming the game over the internet to your receiver from its own servers, which means there is no downloading or streaming! I can't wait for this to be released to the public! I found a video which explains it all from their website. Enjoy!

20 Things To Do When Bored

Do you find yourself starring into space or flipping through the channels looking for something to watch but nothing is on. Well we've all been in that boat and today I think I have the worst case of boredom since George Bush got a severe case and decided to invade Iraq. So I find myself slouched on the couch, in front of the TV, with my laptop in my lap and a text message from my coach telling me that my match has been cancelled and I'm wondering... what the hell am I going to do today!

So I decided to create a list of things to do when you couldn't be "arsed" as they say... here goes:

1. Workout
2. Create a website (already done)
3. Experiment w/ fireworks
4. Read a book (a good one)
5. Research conspiracies (some of them are true)
6. Buy a science kit and turn it into a meth lab (or just use it for what it was made for)
7. Make a movie
8. Try to even up your non-dominant hand. Abuse it if its not building up fast enough.
9. Write a "Get Ruck Quick" scheme
10. Sell stuff on eBay for 3x its worth
11. Go to cafepress.com and create your own t-shirts and/or coffee mugs
12. Blow stuff up (careful with this one... it can be a lot of fun)
13. Watch TV without sound and make up your own words to the show. Make each character a deviant in one way or another.
14. Pretend everyone is trying to seduce you and get you into bed (act disgusted by this)
15. Record yourself getting drunk until you pass-out and watch the video to see all the stupid stuff you do when your plastered.
16. Watch a whole television series from the beginning
17. Pull a prank on someone you know
18. Build a fort
19. Find a tall building and wait on a ledge. Threaten to jump. When they ask you to come down, make ridiculous requests. Make up a really odd story ("My pet goldfish doesn't love me anymore... I could handle my pet rock, but not Goldy..."). Drop eggs on the people down below. Drop watermelons to demonstrate how you'll land. Pretend to take a run-up. If no-one's nearby, dress up a clothes model and drop it off the edge and hear the panic down below.
20. Create your own things to do when your bored list

Now go out and do something! As we speak I'm looking at what kind of monkey I should get as a partner in crime.

Krav Maga Training

I've recently decided to start taking some form of Martial Art or self-defense class, as I have always wanted to and have never had the time or opportunity. But since I have so much more free time now-a-days I decided to take Krav Maga training lessons. For those of you that don't know what Krav Maga is (probably most of you), its used by the Israeli Defense Force as a way of fighting and surviving in battle. If this doesn't impress you, then maybe this video demonstration will. Enjoy!

Holy Grail of Beer

I was at a 21st birthday party last night and I went up to the bar to get my usual pint of Becks, when I saw the holy grail in the flesh. I immediately asked to the bartender if I could have a bottle of the holy water and with a smile she nodded her head and handed me a cold bottle of Duff Beer. Thats right, the beer that has been quenching Homer's thirst in the Simpsons for many years now is an actual beer.

I kept the bottle and after some research found that a company in Mexico owns the rights to sell Duff Beer. I found that its only available in Mexico and Europe (good news for me!). You can find out more about the company by checking out their website here.
