New motion control system releases on September 19th
In case you have been living under a rock the last 8 months, you probably already know about the new motion technologies coming out for major players Playstation and Xbox.
Even though both technologies are new, the Playstation Move will release almost 2 months earlier than Xbox's Kinect, which means you need to start preparing now as to how to obtain the new platform extender.
The Move, Sony's new motion control device says that "how it happens in your hand is how it happens on the screen". And when they debuted the device live on stage at E3 in June, it was clear how much the Wii Motion Plus controller lacks in precision.
The Move device consists of 3 sensors in an optical controller (picture a Wiimote with a golf ball glued to the end of the device). The light sensors that the "golf ball" gives off is picked up by the Playstation Eye. There is also another controller that serves as the navigation ala Wii Nunchuck.
Not only does it track movement, but the controller also tracks the power of your swing and trajectory.
The Move is set to launch on September 19th with 15-20 titles and 40+ games by the holidays. The Move controller is $49.99 (includes the Eye), nunchuck is $29.99 (not needed for all games but most) or the bundle which is $99 and paired with a game.
You can preorder The Move at Amazon, Best Buy and Gamestop. Might want to do it soon as this will likely sell out.

2009 Record: 7-9 2010 Prediction: 4-12
Time to take my medicine - I know our GuysGirl leader Blythe is a big Jaguars fan and no Jaguars fan wants to see a 4-12 prediction, but I just don’t think the Jags will do much better than that. That’s partially because I think the schedule is tougher than last year, and partially because I believe the Jags played over their heads for a little while last year, falling back to earth at the end of the season by losing four straight, including one to Cleveland. Throw in a lackluster offseason, and I think this ends badly for Jacksonville.

By David Rogers Changes include rotating D-pad and say bye to the colors.
Today Larry Herb, also known as Major Nelson, of Xbox Live revealed the newest Xbox 360 controller with a transforming directional pad. Many consumers have complained about the 360’s directional pad since it’s launch in 2005. Finally, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the Xbox 360 (not really) Microsoft, has designed a d-pad that can be used as the original disc or can be rotated to become an elevated plus pattern.
The D-pad was not the only element of the Xbox 360 controller to be changed. This new controller features con-caved analog sticks for added comfort during longer gaming sessions. The color scheme has also changed quite dramatically. The D-pad has chrome plating which looks very nice with the grey disc behind it. No longer are the face buttons red, yellow, blue, and green. They are now alternating shades of grey.
Here's hoping you memorized the button layout by letters and not color.
This new wireless Xbox 360 controller bundled with the play and charge kit November 9th, for $64.99 USD. It will only be available in the bundle. Sixty-five dollars for a controller is a little steep, especially when new video games cost $59.99, but I’ll be buying this controller to celebrate the birth of my Xbox 360.

2009 Record: 9-7 2010 Prediction: 9-7
The Falcons lost both starting QB Matt Ryan and starting HB Michael Turner to injuries last season, so an improvement on 2009’s 9-7 record is a given, right? Well, maybe. Ryan was only gone for two games, and back up Chris Redman posted more or less comparable quarterback numbers in his absence. Missing Turner for five games hurt, to be sure, but the Falcons went 2-3 in the games he didn’t play, and in the three losses their defense gave up 34 points twice and 26 in the other. So the Falcons see-saw season in 2009 was not solely the product of injuries. Going into the regular season, the Falcons are an NFC playoff bubble team (along with teams like Philadelphia, Arizona & New York), so the difference between 2009 and 2010 might be a few bounces of the ball. . .or nothing at all.

2009 Record: 7-9 2010 Prediction: 9-7
Of the teams I have must missing the playoffs in 2010, the Dolphins would be my choice as the team most likely to get in. QB Chad Henne enters the season with a full season as the starter under his belt. The defense looks resurgent. The running game, which was missing Ronnie Brown for the last half of 2010 and was great anyway, will be great again. What’s not to love? Were they not stuck in a division with two other playoff caliber teams, the Dolphins’ prospects would look even better, but they’ll need to get past the Jets and Patriots first.

2009 Record: 5-11 2010 Prediction: 5-11
The Cleveland Browns, long the owners of my very favorite helmets in the NFL, won 5 games last year. At times I wonder how they even managed that many. Then I look again and I think maybe they should have won a few more. To be sure, the Browns have some pieces in place that should give fans hope for the future, but it is equally true that there are areas where Cleveland can’t match up with the strong AFC North or the rest of the NFL. Call this an enigma, but I think the Browns will be improved this year, while posting the exact same record they had last year. Go figure.

Nothing says "hello" more than an Adam West Kick to the Face with these things
Being a huge fan of old school nostalgia, coming across these fantastic new shoes from Brass Monki is precisely the kind of thing that makes me get the itch to hack my credit card out of that block of ice in the freezer.
Lucky for myself, I can somewhat try to resist buying these shoes for my Halloween costume in October. I use the word "try" very very loosely.
These new shoes are not based off the fancy new cartoons, but rather the old school Batman and Robin. Take a look at the ridiculously cool shoes, make sure you have a high credit card limit and then head over to the site to purchase.

2009 Record: 13-3 2010 Prediction: 10-6 (1st round of the playoffs)
The Chargers have been feasting on the carcasses of the once-proud AFC West for quite a few seasons, and this year may not be all that much different. Although I think the Chargers have come back to the pack a bit, their schedule remains one of the easiest of any of last year’s playoff teams, and it’s only an assumption that, for example, the Raiders will be significantly better this year than last. So don’t be shocked if the Chargers outpace a few teams who are perceived to be better than them. But you still have to wonder just how far a weak schedule will carry team that seems to be quite a few steps behind where they were several seasons ago. Could this be the year of the slide? Probably not, but the warning signs are there.
