  • I think Xbox 360 will not have wireless capability like the Nintendo Revolution
  • Ps3 controller looks like a boomerang!
  • Nintendo's primary controller will look like a Romote control (with a joystick which costs extra to hook up). A second, classic controller is rumored to be released
  • Ps3 is by stats, possibly more powerful
  • Nintendo Revolution is not HD compatible like the other 2
  • Ps3 uses blu-ray technology
  • Revolution is a codename
  • Revolution uses WI-FI
  • Nintendo is looking into a feature where you can buy all its games from before
Well, i hae more info, but too much. That is the important stuff. Google the systems and you get a bunch of info

I'm Back! And I also have started To-Ku.org!

Sorry I quit the blog for some time. I just for some reason gave up on it. But now I'm back! And even better, I have started a forum site called http://to-ku.org. Check it out! It's a site where you can be yourself. It basically is just a forum about everything. It has a chat room (you'll have to register separately), a shoutbox, a personal gallery for your pics so you can show them off to people, and a bunch of forums, such as sports, rant rave, and games. it is a cool forum, but we desperatly need more members.

Now on my wisdom... Bush has pretty much put himself debt hole.

1. He has to spend way more money on New Orleans (it was a lot, but now more) due to his slow response to Hurrican Katrina. Its projected to be $200 Billon

2.He is spending so much money on a uneeded war (where are the weapons? Where is the perfect government? Why are there more terrorist groups then there was before the war? Cost to date: about $200 Billion

3. His spending problem. He wanted to put more money on NASA and other organizations after a tax cut. I'm confused

4. the national debt is as of now is almost $ 8 TRILLON!!!!! See true value at http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/

Now i ask you... how do we get out of this with tax cuts and terrible spending?

Grand Theft Auto Crashes Hard

I Laugh at Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Just recently GTA's rating was moved from Mature (M) to Adults only (AO). Why? It is sick and wrong. With a special code downloaded from the internet, you can access explicit sexual content mini games. This is video game porn, another low for the video game industry. This was, at first, just for the game developers, yet the code was put on the internet (what else is new?).
Fisrt of all, I never liked the GTA series. I watched someone play Vice City and I hated it. Machettes? Tanks? Automatics? These are the mild weapons of GTA. Heck, I even thought the "Mature" rating back then should have been an "Adults Only" rating. Why? So Gory and no fun. Just sex (or impersonating sex back then) and extreme gory violence. I didn't enjoy it. Heck, I like a game I can enjoy through intensity, laughing, hard tasks, cool moves, and so on. A bit of violence isn't bad Tony Hawk is good. SSX 3 is good. Desert Storm 2 is good. But GTA crossed the line. GTA is a bunch of gangsters slashing and killing for no cause. And it portrays the Police as bad people. Is that imprinting a message in the mind? I think so. Sure, you say Desert Storm 2 is bad enough. But it is not as violent, and doesn't show as many bad messages. Sure it shows bad messages, but find it better than GTA for the fact GTA's main purpose is death.
One game i truly hate (I heard about it on the news, don't know if it is out or not) is a game where you are the assassin in the 1963 shooting of John F. Kennedy. I don't know more details about this game, BUT WHY DISS A PRESIDENT WHO DIED WHO WAS A GREAT MAN AND DIED FOR NO REASON?!?!?!?!?!?! IT IS WRONG!!!!!! THAT IS OUR HISTORY AND WE SHOULD HONOR KENNEDY!!! THAT GAME IS ANTI-PATRIOTIC AND DISRESPECFUL!!!

So I ask you... have games taken a turn for the worst?

Welcome the Fusion Wisdom!

Welcome...
I am Fusion. Welcome to Fusion Wisdom. Here i will post topics concerning the world or me (*cough* video games *cough*). A bit about myself: This is my first blog. My website is located at http://to-ku.org and is a online community for everyone. That is all you need to know about me. Oh yeah. I'm a geek. What else is new?
Now. To what is going on. besides the Supreme Court Nomination, which I don't know much about, Harry Potter has hit the shelves, and left them. I finished the book and found it quite good. Now, I'm not the kind of person to wait in the store at midnight, but I enjoy a good book. But the Haryy Potter Series is legend now. 6.9 million copies sold on the first day! Amazing! There are pictures in newespapers of kids in the stores waiting! This book has to be good!
What is it about J.K. Rowling's writing that attracts readers? Here is what I think. For one, This is the magic that people have heard of in stories as kids, yet with a twist. Rowling keeps on adding things that amaze people and wish they could do this and that, stun, make people dance, etc.. you get the point. It is going deeper than the hocus pocus. Second, and maybe most important, I can see kids like me relating to the story. Bullies, being shunned, circle of friends, teachers which are good and bad, detention, mothers, fathers, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, etc... you get my point again. Third, kids CANNOT relate to the book. They see a whole new thing in this book. A twist to life that adds excitement. And the last reason is: Rowling has a gift! What else? She has the power in her writing that a lot of writers have: She makes you want to know what is going to happen. And after her 1st book, kids are waiting to find out what comes next! Unlike and like some series, This series will end and we can't wait. She also has the advantage to be able to write something new. A mostly kids, yet adult too, book about magic. Wand magic. Not Lord of the Rings magic.
It is a shame some Lord of the Rings fans are too stuck up to read Harry Potter. Sure, Lord of the Rings came first, but these books are 2 somewhat different books. One is mid-evil world of elves and orcs, the other is basicly magic. Some truly "happy theme (I say this because the animals are portrayed happy in fairy tales)" fantasy animals as oppose to The Lord of the Rings scary theme. So try reading the book. Just enjoy it like I do. Don' t have to get carried away.
