During a thunderstorm, a traveling circus in a rush acindentily leaves behind a baby zebra. The foal is rescued by Nolan Walsh, a retired thoroughbred-racehorse trainer. Nolan takes the zebra home to his farm, and leaves it in the care of his daughter Channing, who names him "Stripes". The other farmyard animals try to educate him about life on the farm, but he is convinced that he is destined for the nearby racetrack, even though he isn't a real racehorse.

Gameplayer's soccer expert has finished a detailed side-by-side comparison of PES 2009 and FIFA 09. A self-confessed PES fanatic, he gives FIFA the nod for the first time, declaring Konami's effort a dud. This article links through to the PES side of the article.
"This is the season Konami has to turn it around. They've spent the past two years in cruise control, coasting along on past glories. But if it's a football cliché that if you stand still you end up going backwards, it's equally true in the fast-paced world of video games."

Two hundred games will be available on the Wii's Virtual Console classic game download service by the end of 2007. That's a bit of data from the Reggie speech that's been getting thrown around recently.
There are currently 166 titles available on Virtual Console in the US. There are eight Mondays left in 2007. That means Nintendo will have to release an average of 4.25 games per week to hit their year-end target.
At least one observer thinks Google's Eric Schmidt could be tapped.

The Gamerator has been the first successful technology to combine our two favorite pastimes: video games and binge drinking. Because while it initially appears to be a drool-worthy 24-inch flat screen MAME arcade cabinet with 180 preloaded titles, the Gamerator's alter ego is that of a kegerator, keeping a pony keg chilled and on tap for your enjoyment at all times. Sounds like heaven? That's not all, my friends!
The Gamerator can also be customized to fit your console of choice or even a fully functional PC. Browse the web with a beer, and when you need a break in the chugging, just store your glass in one of the two built-in cupholders. You know, just like when you're cruising the strip in the minivan.
Remember the old days when you were stuffing more quarters into machines before time ran out? Well this is the new, over 21 and way more awesome version—though no one can predict just how many glasses will fall victim to "slip and shatter" as we try to booze up before putting the finishing whoop ass on M. Bison. And the $2,000 pricetag really isn't that bad when you consider...uhh...yeah, it's a bit pricey, even for a MAME cabinet. But we're sure it's worth every penny. [ebay via technabob]

About four years after filming the dysfunctional love fest otherwise known as
Closer,
Variety reports that
Clive Owen and
Julia Roberts are teaming up again for a new con flick called
Duplicity. This fills me with both curiosity, and dread. I happened to love
Closer, from Owen's creepy pervishness to Roberts actually being understated. Then again, the last one-word con film Clive did was
Derailed. I put that sucker in my DVD player with the thought: "It's got Owen, so even if it's as crappy as I hear, it'll have something to enjoy." Oh yeah, not at all. It was downright scary with how bad it was.
So, now we've got the next attempt. The drama was written, and will be directed by
Tony Gilroy, who seems to be getting better with age, like a fine wine. The guy has flicks like
The Cutting Edge and
Bait on his roster, as well as the three
Bourne movies. But that's not all -- he's also the pen and director behind
Michael Clayton. The drama will focus on Roberts and Owen as "longtime lovers who happened to work as spies on opposite sides. They team up to stage an elaborate con to rip off corporations and steal a valuable product." It's looking like a
Mr. and Mrs. Smith without the assassinations and after the discovery of their work -- unless they know and find a thrill in bonking the enemy.
Duplicity will start filming this March, after Owen wraps his stint as Tom Tykwer's
The International.

Hop aboard the hype express, ladies and germs, for sharp eyes have spotted the upcoming Treo 680 at Fry's Electronics (of all places). No other news to report, other than that Palm must hate the media since nobody in the fourth estate has received one yet. Current rumors point to the device's release date as being November 5 for $275 with a two-year, soul-draining contract with Cingular. Happy happy, joy joy! – Nicholas Deleon

Ok, Office writers, now youre just torturing us with this Jim and Pam stuff! Sure, its to be expected that with Pam off in New York, making new friends, working at a new job and studying art, shes bound to start enjoying her independence but all the same, I cant say that Im enjoying seeing Jim feeling insecure about it! At least Michael and Holly are having an easier time with the whole office-relationship thing.
Competitive price and strong graphics quality lift the score of this otherwise pedestrian-looking monitor.

Certainly not the first of
its kind, Yahama's PJP-25UR is arriving a little late to the VoIP speakerphone party. Nevertheless, this sleek (
comparatively speaking, of course) looking alternative is sure to have top-level managers smiling, as it provides a pair of swing-out microphones to compliment the main mic in the middle, stereo speakers, an audio in / out jack and the ability to get all the juice it needs from a powered USB port (or optional AC adapter). The 1.25-pound unit is slated to ship out in December and put a ¥63,000 ($547) dent in the corporate budget, but that's a small price to pay for all the surefire productivity that comes from yet another mundane meeting, right?

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!
Developers have created an application that will enable Android users to connect with Exchange servers and load contacts onto their phones.

Reuters reports on big game franchises and their ability to drive both software and hardware sales during the holiday shopping season. According to the news service, likely sales winners this winter will be
Final Fantasy XII (PS2),
Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii/GC), and
Gears of War (360) with no mention of the anticipated
Resistance Fall of Man (PS3). The piece also suggests that Epic's
Gears could potentially have the same effect on the 360 as
Halo 2 did for the original Xbox raking in $125 million in first day sales.
From the article: "But with only a limited number of the new consoles available in stores at their launch in November, the biggest payoff for game makers is likely to be software designed for older machines already in tens of millions of homes ... U.S. video game makers, strong contributors to the industry's $30 billion in overall revenue estimated for 2006, reap more than half of their sales during the holiday season."
Should be entertaining to see how it all goes down in a few months. Which leads to the next topic of discussion: How important, if at all, is this holiday season in predicting each console's potential over the next five years?
