petegoldXbox Slim I want you.
Oh... you're lookin good to me....
You're sleek, you're slim... you got curves ALL the way down.
Ooh, let me insert my hard drive into your concealed slot baby
(you know what I'm talking ‘bout)
But don't make a sound sugar - keep it whisper quiet.
Because... you know that's the way a games console should be honey.
Mmm… let me run my fingers across your button and see if I can.... turn you on.
Xbox, Xbox
You're every gamer's dream
You're much more than you seem
You're makin young men scream
With your new black colour scheme.
Aw - they finally given you built in WiFi sugar yeah.
Transmitting on my frequency.
Built-in digital out, and 3 x USB's on your back.
Honey, your specifications got everyone interested..
And when Kinect comes out baby...
Ooh... we can really interface.
My hands all over the place.
All over your face.
And I'll be able to talk to you...
You're gonna do everything I say. I like that. Yeah.
So why is it so wrong
To want you like I do?
Aw... I've waited for so long.
To get my hands on you.
Xbox. Play music
Xbox. Stop
Xbox. massage my feet a little.
Xbox. ooh yeah!!
Aw baby. You been givin’ me the green light all evening.
But don't let me catch you playin with other gamers honey.
I ain't down with that.
I'll unplug you.
You know I mean it.
I'm keepin’ you all to myself. Yeah.
Does it invalidate the manufacturer's warranty to rub a little lotion on you?
Surely a little can't hurt. Is that so wrong?
Oh baby.
petegoldWent to Disneyland today. Went on log flumes and got drenched. Watched the England USA game in a bar full of people hooting "U.S.A! U.S.A!", then went to a briefing with Disney, and got to play the new Toy Story 3 game, and the new Tron game: Tron Legacy. Haven't had this much fun since I was twelve!
Here are the lyrics for my tron song:
TRON
Tron. Tron. The Legacy goes on,
And the posters will have have Jeff Bridges on.
Tron. Tron. The Legacy goes on
And the soundtrack ISN'T by Elton John
We know the movie’s coming
We just can’t wait.
But I’ve played the game and I thought it was great.
You can blow up all your friends with a lethal disc
And travel at speeds that can be quite brisk
You can run up walls in a shiny rubber suit.
If you get derezzed you can just reboot.
Just reboot.
Tron. Tron. It won’t be very long
Til the launch of the game Tron Evolution.
Tron. Tron. Your character has con-
-tinuity of weapons offline and on.
You can ride a light cycle on a big black road
And make all sorts of things explode.
You can steer and fire with expertise
But your cycle won't turn at 90 degrees.
Though the game will be heavily advertised
You sure don’t wanna get recognized.
Tron. Tron. With your helmet on
You'll never need a trip to the hair Salon
Tron Tron. Do you like this song?
If I don’t stop soon I could go on and on.
And on and on and on
And on and on and on and on…
petegoldWith the launch of Xbox's new Kinect module, and with other Natural User Interfaces in development, I felt it was time for a friendly plea in favour of using our thumbs for some things:
SAVE OUR THUMBS
Computers are great. Computers are cool.
We're the controllers and they are our tool.
But as we kinect with technology We must never forget our biology
Now our joystick and paddles are failing the test
So we wave at our consoles and they do the rest
As we bin our controllers the question becomes.
What should we do with our thumbs?
Save our thumbs
They're the things we hold up to say hi to our chums
Have we learned that they're not so disposable
Don't oppose them. Rejoice! They're opposable.
And without them we couldn't send texts to our Mums
So please save our thumbs.
Save our thumbs
Without them we couldn't peel peaches or plums.
Just how tricky would life for a butler be
Tell me how would he polish his cutlery?
And we'd all have to master base eight for our sums.
So please save our thumbs.
Save our thumbs
Without them we couldn't play piano or drums
Girls how tough would inserting an earring feel?
Fellas. What should we tap on the steering wheel?
And how else would we pick up potato chip crumbs?
So please save our thumbs.
Save our thumbs
This is urgent so please pull yours out of your bums
Do not think their importance is middling.
Don't waste time - thumbs are not just for twiddling
So I hope that humanity never succumbs
To a world without thumbs.
