New Excite Truck video
While attending a stop on the Nintendo Fusion Tour, the guys over at Go Nintendo took Excite Truck out for a spin. While the individual playing it has some trouble with the controls, overall the game manages to stay incredibly appealing. Check the video, embedded into the post after the break.[Via Go Nintendo]
Excite Truck trailer lifts spirits
In this latest trailer for first-party launch title Excite Truck, trucks elevate to heights no mortal should ever reach. Following our hands-on with it during E3, we felt the game was fun, just not so much as to warrant launch day purchase. Things change, however, as the more we see on this game, the more we honestly want it. While taking the established franchise and switching out the dirt bikes for 4X4s might cause some to cringe, we here at the Fanboy are looking forward to busting big jumps. Obviously, we'll be guzzling Mountain Dew whilst we do it, what with us being so extreme and all.As always, video is embedded into the post after the break.
Excite Truck controls revealed
During our time with Excite Truck, which wasn't long at all, we managed to walk away with overall good impressions of the game, something that we did not possess going into the demo. Regardless, in case you were wondering exactly how the game controls, let the above diagram hit your ignorance over the head with a bat, knocking it to the ground violently, finally bashing it with reckless abandon as your ignorance becomes nothing more than a stain on the concrete.

Cellphones are dangerous/not dangerous, Italian edition
We may not know whether your phone is going to kill you, but we can tell you that it excites your brain. This, uh, exciting news comes to us from a team at Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Milan, which used transcranial magnetic stimulation to monitor brain activity during subjects' phone calls. More often than not, brain cells adjacent to the phone went into an "excited" state during the call, but returned to normal within 45 minutes. What this means for your long-term health we're not exactly sure -- and neither is the Italian group. They do note that it might be of special relevance to folks with epilepsy, since excited brain cells have been linked to the disease. "It should be argued that long-lasting and repeated exposure to EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) linked with intense use of cellular phones in daily life might be harmful or beneficial in brain-diseased subjects," says their report. "Harmful or beneficial" -- thanks, guys; that really clears things up for us.[Via I4U News]
