If there's anything Sony is really good at, it's devising new ways to take your money. The new PS3 firmware that was released this morning, version 1.5, includes support for swiping your credit card right into your console. Yes, video game consoles have gotten so nickel and dimey that it makes sense to have a credit card reader built right in. What the hell is going on?
Luckily for my blood pressure, this update is Japan only… for now. If it catches on there you can be damned sure that Sony won't hesitate before trying to sell us this new "feature." Here's an idea, Sony: let people buy games and enjoy them without having to constantly pay extra. You never had to pay for extra levels in Super Mario World, after all. — Adam Frucci
Como a maior parte de vocês sabe (ou não) eu sou fã de podcasts. Não ouço muitos, pq tb não tenho assim tanto tempo, mas no trabalho sempre vou conseguindo sacar alguns para ouvir. A grande vantagem disto é descobrir podcasts novos através de outros (podcasts, passo a redundancia ((palavra que provavelmente tem acento mas eu não sei onde por))).
Ora estava outro dia a ouvir o "the daily source code", Podacst do Adam Curry, VJ da Mtv nos anos 80 e uma das grandes cabeças por detras do podcasting, e descobri um outro podcast chamado "Where's my fucking latte?", que é o podcast de um gajo chamado Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, que é escritor e já foi assistente pessoal de algumas estrelas de Hollywood. Ora esse podcast é uma compilação de histórias de assistentes pessoais das estrelas, passando por realizadores, actores/actrizes, produtores, vozes da rádio....enfim. Vale a pena dar um ouvido.
Entretantos, o Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff tem outro podcast, chamado "Pacific Coast Hellway", que é um perfeito disparate de barbaridades e asneiradas a torto e a direito.....muito divertido.
A partir daí, cheguei a um senhor chamado Scott Sigler, tb escritor, e que tem uma novela/podcast chamada "The Rookie". Yeah.....Futebol americano, aliens, e muito sangue......e mais ainda, o tema de abertura é nem mais nem menos que o "Heaven's a lie" dos Lacuna Coil........FUCK YEAH......Para quen não conhece a musica, podem ouvir aqui
amor, vais ouvir isto e vais amar de paixão.....porque eu é que gosto-te....e tu sabes disso
I’ve been thinkin’ about this for the last three days I don’t think that I am deluding myself I don’t think that this is just a phase I don’t mean to shock you I hope that I am not rushing in I think that this is kind of important I don’t know where exactly to begin
My whole life has been a constant ailment You can provide a simple remedy Yea, I’m gonna show some vast improvements When you give your love to me
And you can trust that I am a worthy recipient And be assured I’ll act responsibly I’ll treat it like a work of rare and priceless art When you give your love to me
So how’s about it girlfriend Am I gonna have to twist your arm? Perhaps it’s not the most original concept It has a kind of timeless charm
You’ll have the little birds flyin’ around your head And you’ll gaze at me dreamily Yea, the whole world will smile and wave When you give your love to me
And I will write you a hundred sonnets And every word will rhyme easily And all your friends will be genuinely supportive When you give your love to me
I’m sick of hearing about sadness I’m sick of violent crime I’m sick of angry, militant, lesbian feminists I’m sick of imperfect rhyme
I’ve always heard that we should love one another And what a fine example we will be An’ maybe we can start a trend or something When you give your love to me
And maybe then we’ll get our friends together And they’ll all get along famously I think that everyone will feel much better When you give you love to me
There’ll be global peace and religious tolerance Ominous brothers in a world that’s free There will be a perfect cosmic harmonic convergence When you give your love to me
Oo Oh when you give your love to me Oo Oh Oo Oh when you give your love to me When you give your love to me (fade)
Estava a ouvir o "Big in Japan" e como é obvio, canto a parte do refrão. O meu colega da frente levanta a cabeça, sorri, e diz com a confiança de quem tem 22 anos:
