Final Fantasy - Vanille Meets Tidus
Final Fantasy - Vanille Meets Tidus
Unless you are a fan of Final Fantasy X and XIII this will probably be confusing to you. Tidus is the main character of FFX and I thought it would be funny to dub over this clip of Vanille interacting with Hope.

Okamiden DS Trailer
Okamiden DS Trailer
The original Okami was a great game, a Game of the Year award winner, but much apathy from gamers made its studio go bye-bye.
Since then it’s fallen into niche appeal, which has given Capcom reason enough to revisit the series once again. This time the adventure will be experienced on the Nintendo DS, which couldn’t be a better fit for a game that deals with drawing to attack enemies.
First Marvel vs. Capcom 3, then Bionic Commando Re-Armed 2, and now Okamiden? Man, Capcom is on fire! No details on a release date for Okamiden, but we’re going to say 2011 just to be cool.

BlackBerry OS 6.0: More is revealed
It feel’s like a BlackBerry kind of day today. Blackberry’s been in desperate need of a new operating system, and through a series of likable events Boy Genius has managed to acquire some screenshots and further details on BlackBerry OS 6.0.
First up, it appears that RIM’s acquisition of Torch Mobile has paid off as the OS comes equipped with a brand-spanking-new WebKit-based browser, and much like other popular mobile browsers (Mobile Safari, Opera Mini, and Skyfire) the new BlackBerry web browser comes complete with tabbed switching, redesigned favourites, and pinch-to-zoom multitouch — more on that later. All-in-all not that impressive, but it’s about time RIM caught up with their competition.
Coming back to pinch-to-zoom multitouch implementation: The folks over at BGR were told that it’s to be present system-wide. Also falling into the same “system-wide” category we’ve got kinetic scrolling, and new contextual menus for ‘long presses’ on the screen. The media player player, photo viewer, and messaging apps have been given the once over with a new coat of paint (so to speak of course). We we’re also told that the new inbox app will include Facebook, Twitter and RSS integration. Sweet!
So, could it get much better than this? Of course. According to the same BGR article all this is due out in June / July, guaranteed “100%.”

McAfee is shutting down XP computers worldwide
McAfee is now shutting down XP machines left and right - but thanks to the Twitterverse, news spread like wild fire and McAfee has some time to respond. This has been 100% confirmed, and a certain McAfee for Windows XP update is causing computers worldwide to shut down. Apparently DAT update 5958 deletes the svchost.exe file, and then causes mayhem. It makes McAfee turn on itself and causes a loss of network activity, and unstoppable restarts. The final total of botched PC’s could reach the millions if the McAfee team can’t come up with a fix in the next few hours. Engadget will have updates on the situation.
