Steve Ballmer recently joined his “former” Microsoft partner, Bill Gates, in the “food being thrown at you” list. While Bill Gates’ pie-in-the-face is largely considered to be something fun, the egg bombardment were not. Despite the missing all of the throws, he made the media, and consequently the world, realize about Microsoft’s and Hungary’s wrongdoings:
Microsoft […]

In last February’s Game Developers Conference, Nintendo announced that its Wii Fit game / peripheral will be available in the market by May 19. This has greatly excited gamers and fitness freaks alike and have basically marked the date as D-Day for the Wii Fit.
But Nintendo’s advertising campaign for the product has muddled the actual […]

 
It’s been months since I’ve last touched my Nintendo DS. There has just been too much work for me as well as the novelty of having a Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 to focus on another platform. Besides, I got too bored played Puzzle Quest that I needed a break from the DS.
I had some […]

Does our planet have an expiration date?  The Mayan calendar ends in 2012.  While some believe a global cataclysm will take place on or about 21 December 2012, most scholars have dismissed this as a misinterpretation.
Hollywood thinks otherwise.
John Cusack is in negotiations to play the lead character in fictional 2012, where a large group of […]

We just got another jar of Goobers Peanut Butter last night from the supermarket.  I haven’t had any of those for the past 60 days (yeah I’m counting!).  Oh, okay, we got the peanut butter and grape kind, somehow strawberry doesn’t sit well.  Anyway.
I’ve long had scraped the bottom of the jar (literally), I’m a […]

Uwe Boll will likely never win any congeniality contest. The highly combative German director has butted heads with anyone who has, to his mind, unfairly criticized his movies—which is everyone. He has even gotten into a boxing match with critics just to prove his point.
Now, the man is all riled up again because of news […]

Look closely folks, there are no magic tricks here.  But I’ve caught this funny article via Engadget and thought that you forevergeek readers may find it hilarious too.
Before clicking to read this entire article, memorize the photo above.  It’s a stock photo of a kid using a Macbook… probably to promote the use of technology […]

In case you haven’t heard of this unusual game, Siren: Blood Curse was featured in an announcement by SCEE on the Playstation Day disc that this survival horror game will be coming to Playstation 3 this Summer, in Europe at least.  It is going to be episodic (via downloadable content) over the Playstation Network.
So what’s […]

I’ve mentioned numerous times that I am a rhythm game addict—more specifically, an addict for the Guitar Hero/Rock Band type rhythm games. I’ve got both games at home. I already have my Guitar Hero controller but I’m still waiting for my Rock Band special bundle to arrive (it’s currently being shipped to my address).
I love […]

I love the way technology has evolved, but until I have George Jetson’s spacemobile folding up into a suitcase, I’ll remain unsatisfied.
But there is another briefcase that’s pretty cool that you can get your hands on right now: The Solar Briefcase.
If you’re constantly on the road and tired of worrying whether or not you charged […]

All of our younger readers, and me, will be happy to hear that Ninty has just announced the newest Pokemon game to accompany the first DS version. And we all know what that means… a new legendary Pokemon!

The latest Pokemon to be added to the ever growing Pokedex is called Giratina and it’s… weird. It’s […]

I saw this on TV, never thought it would be tapped by the internet blogosphere as well.  Seems that DVice has taken a spotlight to it, so might as well give it the good ‘ol forevergeek boost too. 
Japanese TV had a crazy day yesterday to feature a “solar powered” bra.  Now wait a minute, that […]

Ok readers, I made it through the tsunami of Liberty City-related articles, and the “discrete” advertising that was shoved in my face no matter where I turned, even in completely unrelated websites. So it was only a matter of time before you saw me popping up a GTA 4-related article.
So without further a do, and […]

Back when Microsoft was releasing the very first versions of Vista, I was one of the few who managed to land a spot in their team, and as such, I helped test and suggested, or sponsored, a few changes I happened to agree with. Thankfully, most of them were implemented, and all, or most beta […]

For those of you who don’t know, Shane Kim is the Microsoft Game Studios boss so if you like Microsoft games and consoles, you’ll probably have been affected by one of his many decisions at the top.  One of his recent interviews over at CVG has highlighted some interesting things he’s had to say this […]

Congratulations are in order for Smart Lid Systems, the inventors of a disposable color changing coffee lid.  The firm just walked away with the ‘Best of Show’ AmeriStar Packaging Award hosted by The Institute of Packaging Professionals.
You probably remember the infamous early 90s court case when an elderly  woman sued McDonalds for a McFortune when […]
