Nintendo 3DS Price drops to $170 on Aug. 12, 20 Free Games for Current Owners



The Nintendo 3DS, which currently costs $249, is gonna have an $80 price drop, making it cost only  $169. This price drop is gonna happen on August 12 in preparation for the launch of the console’s E3 A-List titles. This cut is also (probably) a way to increase the 3DS's sales, since it has had slow initial sales.


People who currently own the console will get ten free NES games and ten free GameBoy Advance titles on September 1 (provided they’ve logged into the Nintendo eShop before August 12.)

The New "Friendster"

                             After shutting down, deleting people's profiles and all of their pictures, Friendster has finally come back again. This is the new Friendster, it's still the same social networking site that we loved.....with a whole new different look!

The site now focuses mostly on games, some of which are "Forest Story", "Goodgame Cafe", "Buffet Wars", and "Big Business" which are, in some ways, like Facebook games.


                                         You also get a cute little profile with your own cute little avatar. The new profile looks like a gaming profile, obviously since Friendster is now focusing on games (probably). The new Friendster site is cute and I love playing some of the games but in some way or another I will always miss the old Friendster even though I didn't have much time to spend with it :(  

You can now create your very own Friendster account and start playing it's games, just click here.

Old  Friendster you will be missed...

Thank you for spending all these times with us and having fun with us all these years.
You were a great friend :)
We will miss you, we love you so very much...

Make cute, inedible food, with a cute, fake little kitchen.



This is the "Konapun - Hamburger Kitchen", a Japanese toy made by BANDAI. Basically, you just cook some tiny food (which are inedible) in a tiny toy kitchen, serve your fake food, then drool thinking that you just made some delicious looking food but can't eat it. 

The "Konapun" doesn't cook with real heat, it's just some special powder mixed with water. It also doesn't use real oil, it's some kind of fake oil made of special powder mixed with water. The fake food will also rot soon. And remember, THIS IS INEDIBLE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EAT IT....estoufed.

You can buy this and other Konapun sets here. So, would you rather make these tiny fake food or go cook up some real edible food?

I'm sorry if I haven't posted anything these past few days, I've been really busy at school. I hope you guys enjoy my blog and continue to read and support it :)

Sony SmartAR (video)

The text is in Japanese though.But who cares! The video says it all :D


This is Sony's new Augmented Reality technology "SmartAR". The company has been working on AR technologies since 1994 and have now invented "SmartAR". The technology can also identify 3D structures to let objects blend in smoothly. Thanks to a combination of advanced object recognition, matching and image tracking tech  objects can be identified and then tracked at high speed, as Sony says. As we can see in the video, Sony's "SmartAR" is very impressive.
