Lego Batman, CW Renewals, Coat Hanger, and Trinitron RIP

Lego Batman Trailer - The trailer for the upcoming Lego Batman video game is at the link and worth a look. Having played Lego Star Wars and thoroughly enjoyed the game, I am looking forward to this one.

CW Renews 6 Shows - The CW announced that is has renewed 6 shows for next season. Gossip Girl (whatever), Smallville (yay), One Tree Hill (blah), Supernatural (yay), Everybody Hates Chris, and America's Next Top Model (crap). Sadly it doesn't include Reaper which is a show I enjoy and hope gets renewed when the final schedules are announced in May.

PSP God of War Review - God of War on the PSP is out Wednesday and I can't wait. The PSP has been dusted off, charged, updated and ready to go. This is literally the first game since I bought the PSP many years ago that I am actually looking forward to for the system. About time.

Monster Cables vs. Coat Hangers - Guess who loses that fight? Yep the rip off machine that is Monster Cables takes another hit as apparently audiophiles, not aware they where participating in a test, couldn't tell the sound different when Monster Cables or a coat hanger was used. Ouch.

Sony Trinitron R.I.P. - Sony has officially killed its Trinitron line of TVs. If you bought a Sony TV in the last 20 years, chances are one of them is a Trinitron. More or less it’s just proof that plasma and LCDs are the permanent future of TVs. Personally I will stick with my Trinitron for at least a few more years before making the move to the next gen (due to lack of funds).

The Power of Advertising - From the "Mr. Show" program on Comedy Central, it shows the power of (false) advertising in an amusing way. The main lesson, other then a laugh, is to always use those critical thinking skills on any ad you see as their job is to sell you crap, not tell you the truth.
