Songza/wii




Songza.com Is an amazing music website where you can search and listen to thousands of songs without having to download them or worry about illegal music. If you have a song on your mind chances are they have it on songza. You can even make a play list and save it to your user. Right now songza only works on PC's, but that is about to change. I sent them an email and here is their reply.

Hi, Thomas,

Thanks for the nice note. Great suggestion. We have heard from a few other Wii users, and we're planning to update our code in a future release to make it Wii-friendly.

Thanks for your patience.

Best wishes,
Nicholas

Wii Fit get!!


Got Wii fit today :)

So I finally got around to playing Wii fit, and I must say that it has me in a perplexed state. I played with it for one hour, and while I broke a small sweat I blame it on the sunny weather and not Wii fit.

Wii fit is a great tool for becoming more body conscious for those of you who need to watch your weight. Me on the other hand is the the type that is closer to being under weight than over.
And although I really enjoyed my first hour of fitness, I doubt that wii fit will keep me interested over a longer period of time. Normal games keep me interested with a goal I need to reach. If I where to set my self a goal in wii fit it would be to gain 6KG, and that I can't do with training alone.

The training games in wii fit where all simple and entertaining. I felt my heart rate go up and some of the exercises did feel tiering. But so far it's far from the training you would get from going to the gym (if you ever did go).

Wii fit could help me so that I'm more active and get a better posture. But with no real goal to reach I think it will be hard to stick to the program. Non the less, I'll do my best. I'll try to gain some muscles and tone my body. I'll use Wii fit and some weights and see if wii fit keeps me more motivated than normal. I'll try to update later and tell you if I still use Wii fit.

Fix for Ghosting on your Sony Bravia TV


Fix posted by "dj_uk" in the AVforums
Fix was made for the Sony KDF E50A12U
This Fix is for Sony Tv's that is ghosting in 60hz with HD signals.

Disclaimer.
This "solution" utilises a "service" menu, that only trained engineers should use.
Use of this information is entirely at your own risk, you mess up your telly, it's your own silly fault. Don't go messing with stuff in there you don't know about.

To bring up the "service" menu, put the TV in standby mode(turn it off with the remote),
then press in sequence :

Onscreen Display ( the little screen with the i+ in it )
5 ( channel number 5 )
Volume Up ( upper end of volume button )
Analogue ( middle top button )

The TV should switch on and when it's warmed up, you should see a screen with lots of big green lettering on it.

Press the "menu" button ( middle bottom )

Use the direction dial to move down to "LCD Drivers" and press right on the dial to enter this menu.

Move down to "S H Pos Reg R". It should be "10", change it to "11". ( Left/Right to adjust )
Move down to "S H Pos Reg G". It should be "10", change it to "11".
Move down to "SHPos Reg B". It should be "10", change it to "11".

Press the menu bottom to drop out of the menus, and the standy button to drop to standby. Switch back on, and hopefully your ghosting will be gone.

This has been dub this the "Spinal Tap" solution. Since... "if you put it on 11, that's 1 louder..."

Some Sony televisions use a different procedure to senter service mode:
    Turn on the main power switch and enter into the stand-by mode.
    Press the following sequence of buttons on the Remote Control:
    info/disp (OSD)
    5 (Number 5)
    vol+ (Volume Up)
    TV
    -or-
    [it]
    [5] (Number 5)
    [vol+] (Volume Up)
    [teletext off]
    -or-
On TV:
Hard Power On
On Remote:
Standby Off
[i+]
[5]
[Vol+]
Digital TV

Youtube video off this may come later.

No More Heroes US vs PAL comparison



No More Heroes US vs PAL comparison.

US version is the way the game was meant to be played.
The JAP version is the same as the PAL version tough.

Vblog: COD4, Endless ocean and Wii gun shell



I talk about Endless ocean and the sparkling Vibration gun shell for wii. And I do the FNG test in under 20 second In COD4.

Buy the gun shell here:
http://www.divineo.cn/cgi-bin/div-cn/...

Gun shell impression:
The rumble function sucked, other that it worked great. The Wiimote is a bit to loose. Using it feels better than not using a shell but the zapper is better. Trigger is responsive. At $10 it was worth the cash.

*Update*

I have tested other gun shells and I must say this kind is the worst of them. GAME has a cheap great gun shell that I preffere more than the orignal Zapper.
