So the big news out of Apple this week is that along with new designs on all models of the iPod (yawn), iTunes will now have included a social networking aspect called Ping. It apparently will allow users to make connections with friends, relatives, and artists who share similar musical likes and dislikes. WOW! How new and inventive!! I wonder if eventually you’ll be able to exchange songs between iPods wirelessly with friends for a trial period of time and then have the choice to purchase said song after so many plays. I wonder if then after that functionality is put in place if iTunes will have a music subscription pass [we'll call it the i-Pass (no similarity to the Illinois toll system)] that allows one to download unlimited songs every month.
BIIIIIG News from Apple. The Microsoft Zune had all of this upon launch, the Zune ID is linked to your windows live Id and is synced already with your computer, and X box 360. So why am I the only one who seems to be bringing this up in the mass media circus of “HEY…..LETS TALK ABOUT PING!!!”? Well unfortunately its Microsoft’s own fault, Apple is at its heart a mass marketing company who knows how to manipulate youth, and Microsoft is a computer nerd company. After the tremendous reviews of the Zune HD you’d think Microsoft would air one or two television commercials, raving about its fantastic features and operating system, and how it is one link in your chain of home entertainment along with the Xbox 360 and Windows 7. BUT NO! Why utilize a fantastic cross selling mechanism to get kids to realize that their video games, music, movies, and computer could all be networked to work with each other creating a tremendous entertainment advantage.

The National Association of Broadcasters and musicFIRST are attempting to negotiate a compromise on the Performance Rights Act, which is currently stalled in Congress. One reason the act has stalled is because the music industry wants the radio industry to pay hundreds of millions of dollars per year for the right to play music on the air. This is ridiculous because if the radio doesn’t play their crappy songs no Idiot teenagers will hear them and buy the songs. So what… the Music industry is saying is that radio stations should not only have to advertise for them for free, but should actually pay for the privilege to advertise their crap music. Radio stations are currently exempt from forced payment to labels and artists.
The compromise currently being considered would have the radio stations pay only $100 million (yeah only $100,000,000) to the recording industry — but would also require that all cellular phones include built-in FM radio receivers. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!! WHY! WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT? CONTINUE READING HERE »

The long delayed Gears of War movie is still moving forward, in the wake of the best news yet; LEN WISEMEN (director of the shit hole Underworld series) has left the project. And that’s not all, he left because EPIC wouldn’t let him soften the movie to a PG-13, and include a love story!
Like Peter Jackson’s Halo movie (the one that never was), the Gears of War script Wiseman was using needed a budget of $100 million — and that’s just an estimate. According to Wiseman, the main problem with a GoW movie is the inevitable ‘R’ rating, which would make it less accessible to tweens than say, a PG-13 rating (tell that to the Expendables). On top of that, the Gears script lacked the obligatory awkward love story where the hard outer shell of our hero is melted by a shrew that would make most men run for the hills.
With the Departure of the dead weight, Cliffy B notes they’re reworking the script to be “more like District 9″ rather than 2012 to fit budgetary restraints and stay true to the violence ridden war story that defines Gears of War. Despite delays, these changes actually sound positive and I personally couldn’t be happier. After seeing the aforementioned Expendables, and Rambo I can only hope that they might offer the Directing position to good old Sly Stallone who really knows how to direct violent battle….Just please don’t let him write the script. I still don’t know what the hell Mickey Rourke was talking about in that movie!!

Last year I (as did every one else) purchased the best selling shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and began the frustrating road to online domination. I couldn’t believe how good the game play was and how addictive the multiplayer became. After a time (as with most games) the levels became tiresome and the hackers insufferable and I fell out of playing.
In June of this year Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was released and I basically ignored it regardless of how many times Pauly suggested I get it. I generally had no interest and had the miscalculated idea that Battlefield was just a funnier HALO-ish version of COD. I attest this to poor marketing as the commercials for both the original battlefield and this incarnation seemed to focus on goofy antics. I do admit I was wrong.
Battlefield: BC2 is far superior to CODMW2 in every way, from the completely destructible environments to the soldier classes, the map layouts and usable assault vehicles. I can’t quite describe the feel of the game as it is similar to COD but just somehow better…more immersive. You’re actually able to sneak around and flank people. It’s not so much a “run around at full speed, knife someone and run away” game like COD. Also you have the option in multiplayer to put your friends in squads and work together utilizing each others strengths to accomplish missions, pilot tanks and fly Apache helicopters.

Last night was the 62nd prime time Emmy awards ceremony which interests us here at SkullBunnie very little. From what I’ve heard those who deserved awards received them and Jimmy Fallon as usual nervously laughed his way through his hosting duties.
