Christmas
It's Raining Wiis at Walmart
I know, Christmas is still over three months away, but I had to share this crucial life-altering info in case you've been trying to get your hands on a Wii or you know someone who has one on their wish list. The Wii is in stock at Walmart! Not only is it available online and in the store, but you can purchase fun bundles like the "Wii Starter Bundle" or the "Wii with Wii Fit Bundle."
Kid Receives the Worst Surprise Christmas Morning
Just when you think you've hit the jackpot and Santa finally pulled through this year by getting you your Playstation 3, you rip open the box to find a boring phone book, without a gaming console in sight.
This exact situation happened to a kid in Thousand Oaks, California where his PS3 was switched with a heavy phone book.
According to Engadget, the PS3 wasn't purchased on eBay or second-hand, but rather at the local EB Games, which makes this story even more shocking.
Did You Play Any Games on Christmas?
For me video games and Christmas go hand-in-hand. There's something unexplainable about watching your sixty-something dad attempt Guitar Hero III for the first time, or showing your sister how far Mario has advanced since Mario Bros. 3 in Super Mario Galaxy.
Nintendo Christmas Ornament: Geek or Chic?
Now that you've got a Snow-Mouse Ornament, a CD Ornament and a Scrolling LED Christmas Ornament, why not add a NES Tree Ornament to the mix?! Unlike the other ornaments that you'll have to take down after Christmas, with this hand-made clay decoration you can also use it as a figurine, pin or refrigerator magnet throughout the entire year. Featured on Nerd Approved, this Nintendo game system ornament can be modified to suit your personal taste for only $15.
iMac Concept Video Spreads Holiday Cheer
Reminiscent of Hollywood Squares, this light animated concept commercial was created by Mark Richardson of Ragus Media. The video showcases thirty iMacs getting festive to some holiday tunes—quite impressive for us Mac geeks! According to Gizmodo, Richardson added in the light effects with Maxwell Render (a light simulator), which allowed for manipulation in real time on the production system, a quad core Mac Pro.
Merry Christmas From geeksugar!
Fa la la la la, it's finally Christmas! I just want to wish everyone a very safe, jolly and festive Christmas. May you have a fun-filled day with friends and family.
Geek Tip: Creating Last Minute Xmas Decorations and eCards
After finding these two links on the PC News Blog, I knew that they wouldn't go to waste—especially on the day before Christmas! The first link is a free downloadable paper Christmas tree that you can easily print out on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. After you download the PDF file and print out your tree, cut around the pattern and fold where indicated.
Website of the Day: Santa Swing
With Christmas less than a week away, I can't help but showcase these hilarious holiday websites. Just like Elf Yourself and Scrooge Yourself, Santa Swing is a site where you can select a photo to use for Santa and his elf and include a message as well. Watch as they get their groove on, with far racier dance moves than the other sites!
Santa Makes a Cameo in a Mac vs. PC Ad
If it wasn't for Santa making a rare appearance in Apple's latest "Get a Mac ad," I probably wouldn't have paid any attention to this holiday-edition commercial.
Nothing like hearing the PC and Mac guy singing Christmas carols together, "He sees you when you're in sleep mode."
It's really cute, check it out below!
Digital Santa Photo Keychain: Love It or Leave It?
After seeing this cute Digital Santa Clause Keychain on OhGizmo!, I knew I could find a purpose for it—even if it meant giving it to one of my sisters as a Christmas present. With a 1.1-inch LCD display, 8MB of internal memory, these keychains are almost as big as the colorful digital photo ornaments. Each keychain costs around $15 each.
