Gamer dad suffocates daughter to death

A Gamer dad in Miami accidentally suffocated his 7 month old daughter to death while smoking weed and staying up all night playing on his Xbox 360, he fell asleep rolling over his daughter suffocating her, he was in a drugged state playing through the night up to 6 A.M in the morning, his partner did call him to remind him of feeding the baby and after that when he went to sleep he rolled over her causing her death,

This guy was unemployed and looking after the baby while his partner was working, he then tried to cover up the death of his baby by putting her body in the crib and trying to portray as if she passed away in sleep.

This is really shocking and again goes to prove that gaming at a strech can be tiring for the body and the mind, no one would have thought of any such thing happening, however i would not paint gaming in the devil’s color of red, it is much to do with our habits, leisure to an extent is good, but overdoing any thing is harmful

I hope we do not have more parents opposing gamers, it’s just that like all other habits we need to balance this one as well.

Avatar Pets go live on Xbox Live

I think the Avatar thing is streching kinda too far, just saw Major Nelson’s tweet about the Avatar Pets now available on Xbox Live service, could see 1o animals in the list, the list even has a pug dog, hmm i think Vodafone has a good opportunity here to advertise, are we so sick of real life now that we would now have virtual pets on consoles, already virtual pet robots and PC virtual pets have invaded ou digital lifestyle, curious to know what kind of antics the pets would be up to, would they jump around the screen while you navigate the dashboard, or they would be seen with your regular avatar you have.

My Suggestion would be, better have a live pet in your life, it’s much better than the virtual counterpart

New crack to console games or just another scam

There’s a video featured on youtube today which shows how a program can allow copying console games as it is bypassing the security feature in the disc, this video shows how xbox 360 games can be played without modding your console and also XBL safe, the user who has posted the video has also placed a link for buying the software which is being offered at a discounted rate of $29.99, i.e. around Rs 1400 in fact if you try quitting the website you would keep getting a prompt of reduced price of up to $14.99 around Rs 650.

I think gamers who are sulking over their recently bricked Xbox 360 would probably have something to cheer about, if you take a look at the software site they have being clear enough not to mention anywhere on the site that this software intends to encourage piracy, it is promoted as a back up software for original game discs, just in case you have got a scratched disc, the site claims “works for all consoles including PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Gamecube, PSP, Nintendo DS, Playstation, PS One, PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, and Game Boy/GameBoy Advanced! It even for PC games”

BEWARE: Please note this software has being reported to be a scam, read it here

Modern Warfare 2: Cribbers

Modern Warfare 2 already came under criticism before release due to the controversial Airport Massacre video, now after the game has broken many records some gamers have complained MW2 be short on game play and some people are already bored playing MW2, while i just bumped upon an article in which the author expresses his opinion that playing MW2 is an insult to your intelligence, well i really wonder if proving such point is really going to get everyone off playing this game, considering that Year 2009 did not see many AAA grade game titles release, MW2 is no way a boring game, it’s just that every one would have a different take on it
