Reject & Disappoint
Jul 20th
You will be missed, sir.
The 17 year, 100+million contract to Kovalchuk from the New Jersey devils has been rejected by the NHL. And the rumors are up in the air again. From Kovy to NJ, Kovy to NY(Rangers), Kovy to LA. Yes, I said Kovalchuk to Los Angeles. But I should also mention that Marian Gaborik is now a part of the conversation. The Rangers may possibly be shopping Gabby(to LA). All while the Philadelphia Flyers are gaining more bottom D-men. And to think we were aiming for Dan Hamhuis’ caliber. Not to mention we shipped off last year’s playoff savior Simon Gagne. Eh? Rumor has it Flyers are going for Turco still? At least Powe and Asham(win) should get resigned now. Flyers have acquired Matt Walker from Tampa Bay, former Lightning Andrej Meszaros, and former King Sean O’Donnell.
WoW Addiction
Jul 19th
Falling for the oldest online gaming addiction in the book, I have tracked myself back to World of Warcraft. It happened very rapidly, my friends and I were chatting in my Ventrilo server. Then it happened, they were conversing about World of Warcraft. I quickly remembered the good old days in Azeroth. The next day, my close friend Walter asked me to use my vent for his raid. Then it happened, I committed myself to return. Oh boy, what have I done now..
A “Real” Virtual Human

Milo, the "real" virtual human!
I found this a bit interesting. No, it is not those virtual physical humans you find in Japan. It is Microsoft’s own, on the screen, virtual human. Even better, it is running off of the X-Box Natal. How cool is that? I don’t think I’ll ever buy this, or anything like that, but it just goes to show you that technology has come a long way. I think we can all agree now, that the X-Box has a lot of time before it becomes outdated. Back on track, the “real” virtual human’s name is Milo. It, or he, is almost as real as real can be in virtual terms on a display screen. Interacting with your physical moves(or body language) and your verbal communications. More at Discovery.
The Kovy Kraze

The guys at Kings Cast made a hilarious YouTube video about the whole situation so far this summer over scoring winger Ilya Kovalchuk. You can find more on this guys at their website, and check out their post here. A good laugh for hockey or maybe all sports fans.
Where Are Thou Ryo
Jul 16th
I may not be into karate, but this game kicks ass!
I remember owning the original black bulky X-Box. And the only game from that console I still own today, is Shenmue II. Why? It’s simple, it is the best console game I have ever played in my entire life. It’s not for everyone though, I will admit. But the Shenmue series, in my opinion, is how more games should be. A rich and fulfilled storyline, different ways to play and interact in the game, more side objectives to conquer. Just an overall good high end quality made game. But this is years ago, that I’ve played Shenmue II. And since then, I’ve been anticipating the new release of Shenmue III. I have yet to be satisfied, but it is good to see there are still rumors going strong about this game. Famitsu, a Japanese gaming magazine, reportedly said that Sega would love to create Shenmue III, but worry about the lack of sales it would have. I could see their point, but you have to push advertising to new limits these days, and you then have a flow of interested buyers. Also, rumors that it would be PS3 exclusive, fairly sad but I don’t mind. Just hurry up and get to developing it!
