The geek version of the World Cup
Alice spotted this snap of the geek's version of the World Cup from the Electronic Football Challenge '06. I'm sure many gamers are intrigued by the logic behind a football game that doesn't require much more effort than rapid wrist movements and lets players argue with the referee over irc. Also, check out the absent keeper from the nearest team: they must have replaced him with a firewall (sorry).If you're the type that prefers -- slightly more -- real football, then you might be pleased to know that Konami dropped us a line to say that they've signed (according to the press release) "one of the most dangerous strikers in soccer today", Adriano "lightning balls" Ribeiro, to be the figurehead of Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007.
The rumors dispelled
Nitrozac and Snaggy of the great Joy of Tech comics have finally revealed for us what Steve will be showing off tomorrow. Items include the "Woopie Cushion Pro" (I'm glad we finally have a pro-level edition of this for us power users), the "BudBub" iPod bubble generator (for all of your car ads that are posing as iPod ads) and the all-new Apple Polaris Nuclear Sub! Get your credit cards ready.
