I don’t know if you know but there is this site called Fluther.com.
Basically what you do is ask questions and get answers. You may think, “Well can’t I just go to Yahoo Answers?”. Well the Fluther community is way better. If you spend a few days using it you will start seeing the same people asking questions and answering them. You can also add certain people to your own Fluther so it is basically like a friends list.
They also have this thing called Lurve. It is just a number you get for participating in the community. You get 1 point for each consecutive day you visit the site. For the rest of the points you have to depend on other users. If you ask a really good question or give a very good answer and another user thinks the same then they can mark it as being good and you get 5 more Lurve points.
When setting up your account it asks you for your hobbies and other things you know about. It will use that information to find questions that are perfect for you. Then if you run out of questions you can alternatively view all questions. Once you answer a question it will follow that question and each time it gets a reply you will be given an alert.
I started last year but didn’t get into it. I went back a few days ago and I am now addicted. You should definitely go check it out. If i missed anything please comment and I will add it.
In case you didn’t know Apple Inc. cut the price of the iPhone and dropped some laptops by $300. Those of you that don’t have an iPhone may think that now is the time to get one. But just as you should expect from Apple, they unveiled a new model called the 3G S. It will include a faster processor, and internal compass, improved photo camera, and best of all a video camera. A 16-gigabyte version of the 3G S will cost $199 and a 32-gigabyte model will be $299. The new versions will be released on June 19 just as the 2-year contracts for the original buyers will expire. Apple is hoping that the new more expensive versions will draw you in with their new features instead of the older 3G models which are cheaper. So if you don’t really care to have all of the new features then your best bet would be to go for the older 3G model and save $100.
I’m gonna run down my top 5 favorite things that Microsoft unveiled this year at E3.
5: Halo 3: ODST- Some people think that they need to stop sapping as much as they can from the Halo franchise but I am looking forward to this game. From what I saw it looks pretty epic and it will most likely be a buy on my list.
4: Facebook/Twitter- There were speculations that this would happen and it did. I think this is a big step and it will be really cool to post screen shots right onto Facebook as soon as you take it.
3: The Beatles Rockband- If you don’t know me then you don’t know how much I love The Beatles. I already have this game pre-ordered at Gamestop. The instruments look really good and the most realistic that have been made so far. I am really excited about being able to download the entire Abbey Road album and various other albums in full.
2: Modern Warfare 2- I have been with the franchise since Call of Duty 2: Big Red One came out on Gamecube. It is one of my favorite games to play and I spend hours of time playing online. So much time that I haven’t even finished Cod5. I have a feeling that this will be an epic game. I am glad that they are once again letting us drive vehicles as you could see on E3 with the snowmobile. I have not pre-ordered it yet but I will next time I am able to go to Gamestop. I look forward to playing all of you on XboxLive
1: NATAL- When I saw the trailer for that I could not stop smiling. Mebibyte here at Drinkthisshow probably thinks that it is a rip-off of the Wii but I beg to differ. Microsoft took the idea from the Wii but then they added tons of awesome to it and made it like the best thing ever. I had my doubts to begin with but from what I hear it will work. I still like my controller but I think it would be really fun to be in the game instead of using pre-written moves like the Wii uses. It is a must have for any Xbox 360 owner.
To Mebibyte:
3: They could sell there old controllers or trade them in at Gamestop.
2: Why should they quit making something that players love? They are milking out Halo too, so what is the difference between that and Call of Duty games?
1: Apparently you did not listen to what Peter Molyneux had to say. He totally burned the Wii console.
I got really excited when I saw this. It does sort of suck that the characters are changing but I am looking forward to the melee attack feature. Chainsaws will be epic!
