Vince tech updates

When I tried the Nintendo Wii, I first played the Wii Olympics. The first sport I tried was the “shooting” game, which I never played again after the first try. I liked the table tennis though.

What got me hooked was the Mario Kart. I’ve played that game on my laptop before using a Nintendo emulator but this one was really cool! Wii does really bring gaming up a few notches!

For other Mario Kart Wii addicts, try reading this tricks guide for Wii Mario Kart.

Check out my 3 most awaited games to be released soon…

3. Red Alert 3

2. Need for Speed - Undercover

1. Fallout 3
Although I’ve only played one fallout version, this won’t stop me from waiting the release of the newest fallout 3. The trailer video is entertaining and ghetto enough to let my anticipation level soar!

Check out the video below…

Looks like I will be needing to reformat and upgrade my PC to accomodate these games because currently, my PC is soley for Grand Thef Auto: San Andreas only and I use my laptop for work.

Oh yea… How could I forget the new Grand Theft Auto IV? So that adds another one to my most awaited list. Maybe it’s time to also upgrade my laptop who can’t even play GTA:San Andreas.

No, it’s not a ghetto lappy.

These are the specs of my laptop and I won’t disclose the brand. I will give you a chance to guess it.
Intel Core 2 Duo
Wi-fi
Bluetooth
3 USB ports
Multi-card reader
Supermulti-drive
latchless
12 incher
Sata HDD 80gb
945GM chipset

Work wise, this laptop performs at par. Game wise, this laptop sucks because I can’t understand why I can’t even play Red Alert 2 here.

Level 3: Wake up!
Level 4: You’re fairly average, you can do better.
Level 5: You’re slighty above average but I wouldn’t discount getting your eyes checked.
Level 6: Great focus just don’t blink.
Level 7: If the boss tells you to listen up just let him know how well you have done on this test/
Level 8: Who’s the little superstar?! A supermodel could walk through your door right now naked and you would still be able to remain focused.

This system allows people to play new fps games on a massive scale. We’re talking about hundreds to thousands of people all shooting at each other at the same time… Sound fun to you? Sounds fun to me!

This may lead to some questions, such as, Why aren’t the players who I am not focussing on lagging like crazy. This is fixed by another technique called “Guidable AI”

Guidable AI is a brilliant solution to this problem. At the most basic level, the Guidable AI emulates the people you are not focussed on in between the actual updates of the real player. Since this AI is locally being run, there will be no problems with bandwidth. Source (Click here for the video)
