Kotaku recently posted a disturbing photograph of a Space Invaders game where the aliens are attack the twin towers. All I can say is that this isn’t amusing, entertaining or funny in any way. Apparently the game was on display in hall #4 of the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. It was projected on a massive screen near the Space Invaders 30th anniversary display. I’m not sure who was responsible for this, but they should really be ashamed of themselves. Over 2,700 innocent people were killed on 9/11 in those towers and I’d assume people could find ways to remember them in a positive way, not poke fun at what happened. While I always respect people’s rights to artistic expression, I also respect the right to tell them that their work is out of line.

One of the cool aspects of Soulcalibur IV is the critical finish moves. Unfortunately, it’s kind of hard figuring out how exactly to use the damn systems. I’ve been playing SC IV for a while now and finally pulled off my first critical finish. It wasn’t as hard as I was making it out to be. Here’s the steps you’ll need to take:

1. Wait for your opponent’s “soul gauge” to flash red.  
2. Engage them with a strong attack.  If you land a strong attack while your enemy is blocking or execute a “guard impact” when they are attacking you, you have just completed what’s called a “soul crush”. 
3. For a very short moment, your opponent will flash red (their bar will be flashing red and their character will flash red).  Tap the Left Button immediately and if you were quick enough, the fight will be over as you destroy them with a critical finish.  Just make sure you tap it quickly, because there’s not much room for error.

With all the latest developments in a technology world, those “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up” infomercials are yesteryears news. Bluetooth has now moved into the medical field. Just like a laptop within a wireless signal, your “in-body network” would immediately send an alert when a heart attack is happening.

“The communications regulator said that sensors could be implanted into people at risk of heart attack or diabetic collapse that would allow doctors to monitor them remotely.

If the “in-body network” recorded that the person had suddenly collapsed, it would send an alert, via a nearby base station at their home, to a surgery or hospital.

However, Ofcom also gave warning in its report, Tomorrow’s Wireless World, that the impact of such technology on personal privacy would require more debate.

The technology, which is being tested now in Portsmouth, could also be used if a patient failed to take his or her medicines. A pill dispenser would send an automatic reminder and, if the pills were not taken within a certain time, an alarm would sound and a message would be sent to the patient’s family or carers.

However, health experts say that they are skeptical about the level of take-up of “in-body” sensors while research into the possible radiation impact of wi-fi networks is going on.”

“Be sure to stay in range when your having the “Big One” Pops!”

This topic brings up a huge debate. On the one side, you’ll have a great healthcare system that monitors you and can assist those patients in need. On the other side, you’ll have Big Brother telling you when to take your horse pills and don’t sit on the toilet bowl for long periods of time because your hemorrhoids might pop out.

I now ask you, the viewer, what is your take?
A. Let the Gob’ment and Doctor’s monitor..
B. I don’t need no stinkin pills
