Hello World!!!

Hello Internet!!! I'm the Casual Geek, and I'm here to take you with unnecessarily brutal force. So prepare to be bombarded with unwanted and unneeded blog posts about video games, anime, tech, and anything else that I decide is note worthy. So prepare for the end of the Internet and it's tubes!

YOU JUST GOT SERVED!!

Zune, Did You Do Something to To Your Hair?

Hi everybody it's your friendly neighborhood blogger NightRoad! Now I know I haven't posted anything lately, but don't blame me blame school.


Now lets get down to what this post is really about, lets talk Zunes. If you own a Zune you might have noticed some changes. Like the fact that you can use it to summon a DRAGON!!!! Sadly this is not true, but there are some pretty awesome changes. For example you can now tag songs on your FM radio so you can later buy it in the Zune Market Place. You can also use wireless hotspots to access the Market Place. You can buy songs, share changes with friends, and update channels. Speaking of channels they are customized playlists that are made by people like DJs, celebrities, and music experts. But the best new feature of them all is the ability for the Zune to play games. Yes you read right, you can now play games on your Zune. Now so far I haven't found anything on the Market Place where I can buy games, but the upgrade to your comes with the two games, Hexic and Texas Hold'em. I haven't really played Texas Hold'em, but I have played Hexic and it's a good little time waster.

And that folks is the Zune 3.0 upgrade, I hope that kinda persuades some people to at least try the Zune.

Live Action Blood

Reportedly Universal Studios will be releasing Chris Nahon's live-action film adaption of the Blood: The Last Vampire anime film in North America. They plan on releasing it on 2,000 screens in North America next March.

The Ultimate ULITIMATE Gaming Rig

While searching the interwebs I came across the ultimate gaming rig. So this guy who wants to remain nameless, is a PC installer, and helped build it for a goverment office. But after building it he did what any gamer would do, he played some Bioshock and World of Warcraft. All I gotta say is, 'Can you build me one?'

FUNimation Talks Finances

During an August 4th conference call with investors, Navarre CEO Cary L. Deacon revealed that Afro Samurai generated $4.5 million at wholesale, about $9 million retail, for FUNimation. FUNimation also expects its distribution of former Geneon & AD Vision titles to earn $15 to $20 million in sales, or $7 to $10 million at wholesale cost. Navarre expects FUNimation’s sales to increase by a double digit percentage in the forthcoming financial year.

Rock Band The Tour?

Yes you heard me right there will be an official Rock Band Tour. Now when I first heard about this I was a little bit against it. But once I found out you will actually be able to get up on stage and rock out on Rock Band I had a change of heart. And the line up isn't that bad either, you got Panic at the Disco, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White Ts, and The Cab. But before you start saying, 'I'm going to be able to rock out with Panic!' You will have to compete for it. The competitions will be local held by the radio stations, so be ready to bring your A game.
