Hello! It's February, how is everyone doing on their New Year resolutions? Well if you're still working on your spare tire, luckily you have Ronald McDonald here to teach you how to burn off that French fry fat! If watching a giant yellow and red clown isn't doing the trick, maybe you should try hooking up the Gamercize! It's a little step machine that you hook up to a game controller or a computer mouse, and the more you step, the more normal the controllers work. If you stop pedaling, the controllers will also stop working. Genius, huh? I just think that the more immersed I am in a game, the less I'm going to want to multi-task while I'm playing. The pedal is already hard enough in Rock Band...

Well I mentioned it in my previous post, and it seems that I was on the right track - there are now rumors of a PS3 Slim. And people are surprised - well DUH. The PS2 Slim was such a big hit that the PS3 Slim would be a great way to move more units. And man, it looks sexy. If it eventually looks like this or better (white maybe?), has at least 80gb, and sells for less than 350, I will totally buy one. Waiting always pays off, my friends. Now if only they would shrink the 360...

I've read about the Penny Arcade Expo for the past few years, and every year seems to be a bigger hit than the last. Well they just opened up early registration, and it's only $40 for a 3-day pass! (I wonder if I could get a media pass for my podunk little website here?) I think that's pretty incredible, and the events that they throw seem to be a lot of fun. I am thinking about going this year, does anyone want to come with me? It's in Seattle, so I am nominating Katherine's house to be our hotel. If that doesn't work, well I'm sure it can't be that hard to figure out. And it's during Labor Day weekend, no excuses people!

Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village is coming out for the DS in a week! Still don't know anything about it? Well they finally released an English trailer:

The art style and music are so nice (reminds me of Miyazaki) that I wish they just made this into a full-length movie rather than a video game. Oh well. If you like puzzles and mysteries (:raises hand:), then there's no reason to skip out on this game.

And lastly, it seems that now the holidays are over, gamers are putting their time into crafting rather than celebrating. Here are my favorites to hold you over until my next post. Enjoy, and have a nice week!

(P.S. - I just beat Super Mario Galaxy, was anyone else disappointed that it was so easy? I guess I should expect this from a Mario game, but still...)
