Microsoft Press Conference Misses The Boat

So I’m watching this seemingly never ending bore fest known as the live Microsoft Press Conference at the E3 2008 show.  An hour and 18 minutes into this thing and it still is showing no signs of ending.  So far nothing major has been announced.  It was like some new Uno game called Uno rush, avatars for Xbox live, new bands for Guitar hero, blah blah blah.   The only thing that really stuck out in my mind was the $48 billion dollars a year the gaming industry earns and the fact that the upcoming 4 games alone are expected to bring in half a billion dollars alone in sales.  Gaming is big business.  But for the most part, the press conference has been a big fat bore.  It was however when they announced a new game called Lips, which is like Rockband only well it’s for singing.  Ya, I know it’s karaoke but anyway, it made me realize these guys really missed the boat.  If they really wanted to make a hit game they should consider another game to add to their family of games like Rockstar, Guitar Hero, In The Movies and Lips, only this one would be called SEX STAR.

BE THE STAR OF YOUR OWN CELEBRITY SEX TAPE


That’s right …. you too can be be your own sex star and share it with your friends on the XBOX LIVE.  Be the next Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, Amy Fisher and Kim Kardashian.   Oh come on, you know that should would sell!  Microsoft really is missing the boat not making a game like this.


But in all seriousness, overall nothing major was announced at this press conference.  At least nothing that made you go OMG or WTF.  It was a long and boring press conference with a few special little tidbits but nothing major that was worth wasting an hour and a half of my life.  Their BIG ta da was that they were going to release a version of Final Fantasy 13 for the XBox 360.  I guess to some it’s a big deal but I was more impressed that they teamed up with Netflix and NBC. I don’t know I think maybe the new be the star of your own game show might have been pretty cool as well. Playing 1 vs 100 with your new XBOX Live Avatar and 1,000 of your closest XBOX LIVE friends isn’t really such a bad idea. Microsoft may not have made any MAJOR announcements but they made enough minor ones to really make you be impressed with their XBOX.

KIM KARADASHIAN PLAYBOY SPREAD

DCypher posts: I found this article on AOL on the Black Voices Blog. WTF? I won’t even get into what would happen if AOL were to introduce a White Voices Blog. I’ll leave that kind of nonsense and brouhaha to the professionals like Matt and Trey. Good luck gentlemen. For now let’s just focus on how hard Ray to tha J slammed this girl in the Vivid best selling classic.

Good times. Slutty Kimmy is, like the brother Jimmy Walker used to say, DYNOMITE!!!

Kim Kardashian sure knows how to make a whole lot out of nothing.

The alleged Hollywood socialite is gracing the cover of Playboy magazine’s December issue, which hit newsstands this week.

On the outside of the magazine, the Armenian beauty and tabloid mainstay is adorned in a red, stringy satin get-up accentuated by red high heels – perfect tie-in for the holiday season. Inside, she strikes a myriad of poses, which exposes her full and abundant endowments.

“It is not as revealing as some people might want,” she said in a recent interview. “I keep it classy … It was something that I was really nervous about doing at first.”Kardashian is the daughter of late OJ Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, and the ex-wife of music producer Damon Thomas of The Underdogs. Since gaining popularity as a “best-friend’ of over-exposed hotel heiress Paris Hilton, the voluptuous pin-up girl, professionally known as a fashion stylist for R&B stars, has been romantically linked to a slew of sought after black celebrity bachelors, including football star Reggie Bush and actor Nick Cannon.

The commercial release of ‘Kim K Superstar,’ her raunchy sex tape with hip-hop soul crooner Ray-J, earlier this year, propelled her into the stratosphere of quasi-celebrity scandal.

She sued adult video giant Vivid Entertainment and halted the sale of the best-selling DVD.

On Oct. 14, E! Entertainment Television debuted ‘Keepin Up with the Kardashians,’ a far-fetched reality series following on the day-to-day dilemmas of the sexpot’s family dynamic. Surprisingly, the story-line – which revolves around her over-the-top “momager” Kris Jenner and mild-mannered, conservative step dad Bruce Jenner trying to keep up with their young son Robert and five outrageous daughters – ranked as the number one show among women (ages 18 to 34) in its Sunday night premiere timeslot.

After four weeks on the air, the series has reached more than 13 million total viewers, a network rep confirmed.

Today, E! announced the second season pick-up for the hit half-hour reality series, which is produced by ‘American Idol’ host Ryan Seacrest.

“Viewers have clearly fallen for the Kardashians,” network Executive Vice President Lisa Berger said in a statement. “This family’s one-of-a-kind dynamics and hilarious antics has made the series a fantastic addition to our prime time line-up.”
