Wii loop machine

Wii Loop Machine Part 2

This is freakin’ crazy. Making beats on the fly with a video game controller.
Not long after the Wii came out, I saw a video of these guys doing a live show using a Wii-mote (coupled with a Bluetooth receiver) with some effects pedals and a turntable. I remember thinking to myself about the endless possibilities the Wii-mote could be used in conjunction with music… now why didn’t I think of something like this?!?

The Amazing Rolo has created-

The Wii Loop Machine is a piece of software I made for making music with a Nintendo Wiimote controller. It is loop-based and performance-oriented, somewhat like a very simple version of Ableton Live. It’s a system for using the wireless Wii remote to sync, control, and manipulate loops in real time.
Version 1.1.1 is currently available for free download. It requires Mac OS X and bluetooth.

For more details, head to the Wii Loop Machine site.

I like beaver

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Wow.
This is insane. Not just content with creating an unusual case mod, someone has literally stuffed a PC inside a beaver… dubbed Compubeaver!

Mmmmmm, beaver…

Best. Case. Mod. Ever.

Manhunt 2 trailer

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Since I posted about one of Rockstar’s controversial games, I couldn’t let their other controversial franchise go by unnoticed. Manhunt 2, the sequel to the original Manhunt, is to be released sometime this year on the PS2, PSP and Wii. Rockstar has just released a new trailer for the game.

The first snuff film inspired game, Manhunt, was easily one of the most twisted games ever made. Banned for sale in Australia, New Zealand and Germany (I’ve still got my copy!); the game stirred up quite a storm with its over the top violence and extremely gruesome executions. Loosely resembling the story of the classic movie, The Running Man, Manhunt put you in the shoes of James Earl Cash, a convict who’s forced to participate in a macabre version of hide and seek, orchestrated by one Lionel Starkweather (The Director), an outcast Hollywood director.

I’m extremely interested to see how this latest version will translate on the Wii with the motion sensitive controls. After seeing the Godfather Wii video, depicting how the controls are used in a third-person perspective action game, this game should dispel all myths that the Nintendo Wii is purely a kiddies console.

It’s delicious

Friday, April 13th, 2007

This YT video has been floating round the web the past week… just too funny not to post. Apparently, this is the PG-rated trailer of the movie, 300.

FROSTING!

WTF?! #2

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Recently, I had talked about how my Xbox 360 died, suffering from the infamous “Red Rings of Death”. Now, I did the correct thing and contacted Microsoft support regarding my defective console, and organised for it to be fixed. Xbox made the process very simple… even going so far as sending postal instructions to me via email, complete with an attachment for a reply paid docket so it wouldn’t cost me anything. Simple… or I thought it was…

Even now as I write this, I’m on the phone, still on hold with Xbox support line trying to figure out what the fuck went wrong. To cut a long story short, either Xbox or Australia Post or both, have seriously fucked up. Neither of the companies know where my console is… Xbox says it’s still in transit (although I’m highly sceptical about their package tracking abilities) and Aust Post says that it was already delivered on the 29th of LAST month. They claim that someone already signed for it and should have been received, not a problem. My beef is that I was at the address, all day, specified on the package delivery… no Xbox 360. Plus, the person reportedly that signed for the parcel, there’s no one here by that name.
After numerous phone calls, searching my building, and even going as far to the next suburb because of a similar address… still no sign of the console.

Xbox and Australia Post, seriously. WTF?!

Nintendo Museum

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

Thought this was cool… some of the lads over at Kotaku traveled to the “Nintendo Museum” exhibit in Japan. This kind of stuff makes me want to travel to Japan more than ever! The fanboy within me screams that I must travel there someday… more specifically to Akihabara.

But some more info on the exhibit - The Hankyu Department Store in Osaka, Japan recently played host to a special six-day “Nintendo Museum” exhibit as part of the store’s 100th anniversary celebration. Thousands of fans showed up to view the various pieces of Nintendo’s history that were on display, ranging from century-old hanafuda playing cards all the way to the latest DS and Wii games of today.

Wow. Word on the street that this exhibit was pieced together from private collections. If collections like this are to exist in the future, something more formal needs to be setup to house some of these gaming relics before they’re lost to the gaming blackhole.
