First previewed at this year's Game Developers Conference, Lost Winds will be a title to watch out for on the Wii in the upcoming months. Although I'm totally looking forward to the much hyped Grand Theft Auto IV, I do like a nice, friendly Nintendo game to have some fun with. Lost Winds has you playing as Taku as you navigate your way through the world of Mistralis. In this world, you are trying to find and piece together shards of a spirit stone with the help of the wind called Enril, which you also have control over. Using the nunchuck to direct Taku, and the Wiimote to aim Enril's breezes, you not only help Taku jump, but can push over rocky obstacles, light torches and spray water.
OK, so it seems to be a fun and interesting puzzle game, but it's totally pretty, right?! I love little Taku and his cape, plus it kind of reminds me of Zelda. Lost Winds doesn't yet have a release date, but word has it that it will be out on WiiWare very soon. Check out more screens when you read more
In the realm of wedding planning, hunting for wedding bands is just one more thing to remember. One thing you don't want to have to strain to remember, though, is your anniversary. Well, you may not need help remembering, but some (cough, male) people may need help — get it with the first nagging gadget — the Remember Ring!
The Remember Ring burns your finger in the 24 hours before your anniversary, at hour intervals, to ensure that no roses go unbought and that no dinners go unplanned. It's 120 degrees, "hot enough to cause discomfort, but not hot enough to burn." Because that's what guys like to look forward to in marriage: Punishment. Hey, I'm not saying it's only guys who have trouble remembering important dates, but let's just say that it's funny how they only come in wedding bands for him.
We've all talked about what we would do if the Internet suddenly died. Last night the unspeakable disaster hit South Park in their "It's Just Gone" episode. Of course, with no Internet, the town couldn't do the usual Google investigation to see what went wrong. What to do? What to do?! To quote Randy Marsh: "Everyone just calm down. Calm down all right! It's going to be okay, we just can't panic."
I know I've said this before, but I can't remember the last time I walked into a store and bought a CD. I'm an iPod, iPhone, and iTunes kind of girl and have spent the last few years getting (and or streaming) all my music online.
I've put together a collection of the music sites, downloads, and tricks that keep me rocking and rolling. Check, check, check it out!
