Here's a little something to make you smile today.  It was in a SMS game that I bought.  The Cheese-Tastic-Ness is off the charts!  Check out what I assume is WonderBoy on the right.

So...has anyone else here heard anything/know anything about this "VITA TV"?

From what I hear & understand - it will enable *ALL* Vita games (both physical & digital) + all (digital) PSP games (from PSN...not UMD's) to not only be able to output their video to your TV's (I *think* via an HDMI set-up) -BUT- also be made playable via your Sixaxis/Dualshock controller 

IIRC / read correctly...it will cost ~$100.00

*THIS* could go a long ways towards convincing me to finally break-down & buy a Vita.

I realize that (as a 1-handed gamer) I'm in a very, very, very small demographic...so small...in fact, that I doubt that any Devs and/or Pubs will ever focus on us/take us into account enough to make any changes to make things more..."one-handed friendly", shall we say - (even some things that they've already been able to do for 'generations' now, like allowing the player to re-map the control layouts) - much less, invest any kind of money into doing so.

I mean, I own hand-helds & plenty of games for them (a DSi-XL, PSP 3000, 3DS-XL, GameBoy color, etc) & I am capable of playing my turn-based RPG's & SRPG's on therm -BUT- I AM 100% A "CONSOLE-MAN"; DAMNIT!

I don't place much importance on pretty, shiny graphics, cut-scenes, FMV's, CGI's; or any of that shit...but...100 times out of 100 - I would *ALWAYS* prefer to be able to sit comfortably, recline, lay-down; watch/view my game on a big screen over a 'little' one (yes, I do have "XL's" -but- in comparison to my HDTV screens - they're still *small*; so, yes!  in this case (for me:) - size most certainly *DOES* matter) 

Not only that, but - for myself - it's so much more comfortable, convenient, intuitive, and preferable to be able to play with "my big stick in my hand" 
than to be constantly looking down, trying to play/control things with the much smaller controls & screens of any of the hand-helds.

Anyone else here with me on this?

Any thoughts, opinions, and/or more info and/or specifics about this "Vita TV"?

Thanks

More Randomness

I think I found a way to make a little extra scratch.

Hell yeah!

If you can actually get people to *PAY* you for playing their games for them; Go For It 

That said - To a gamer/For a gamer...kinda' defeats the whole point of buying & playing the games, though; no?!

(Since we don't have a 'sweating' emoticon - I went w/ the next closest one that we do have...the tear - another liquid (instead of sweat) coming off/out of the body)

All that to say this...

...Man.

It.

Is.

Fucking.

HOT.

Here.

Today 

Almost 100 degrees with ~100% Humidity 

Thought that I was done w/ my pool for the year -but- got my ass out there to add & check the chemicals, add some water, and soak my cranky ass in there for 1/2 hour or so 

What kind of weather/temperatures are the rest of you having now?

[soera]

If that Vita TV comes out, I would get it. Its also the only reason I would buy a vita too.

[foxhack]

What kind of weather/temperatures are the rest of you having now?

100+ish with 50% humidity due to the monsoon storms. The usual. The weather has been crazy these past few days.

This happened in my US hometown on Sunday. Several of the booths at the flea market where I buy my games were -totaled-, roofs collapsed or fell off, everything got drenched and is now unsellable / unusable. I feel bad for these people, they've already been dealing with declining sales and now they have this dumped on them - literally.

100 degrees is a good day, this time of year around here. From about the tail-end of May until mid-October, 100-115 degree weather is normal, and no, I'm not in a desert; Redding, CA. About 2 1/2 to 3 hours north of Sacramento.

I stopped by Goodwill today.

To my surprise, they have the old Coleco Head-to-Head handhelds (pre-date Game Boy).

But the idiots wrote the price in sharpie on the damn screen!

3-D GAMING:

Topic.

Do any of you fellow VG-Collectors have the equipment/set-up so that you do (most of or) ALL of your gaming in 3D?

Personally, I've yet to even try and/or see any gaming done in 3-D/on a 3-D TV at all.

My *assumption* is that, at this point, it would probably be like the bigger, flat-screen LCD & Plasma HDTV's...when they 1st came on the market.

Meaning that, they were ridiculously over-priced -and- (back in the early days) they didn't really have enough channels and/or programming to even come close to justifying those kinds of prices.

SO, is 3-D TV (and 3-D gaming) a 'novelty' / 'gimmick' like that...that will, as time goes by, catch-on, greatly decrease in price, and wind-up as the new "standard" (like 8-tracks ==>  vinyl ==> casettes ==> CD's, etc) and/or (like Betamax ==> VHS ==> Laserdiscs ==> DVD's ==> HD-DVD's ==> Blu-Ray)?

*OR* do you guys just see it as more of a "phase"...that will soon be...phased-out?

[foxhack]

I thought it was already being phased out.

Because it's stupid.

This isn't the 1950s.

I'm pretty sure that they're still making games that 'feature' and are playable in 3-D, on the 3-D TV's...
