Random Thoughts

What would you say if I told you there was karaoke for dancing instead of singing? Crazy? Or perhaps just the best idea you ever heard! I have been to paradise, and its name is Eye Toy Groove. This is the best thing since the Hulk Hands. Unlike the Hulk Hands, this game can be played by up to 4 people. You see yourself on-screen thanks to a little web cam thingy, and you touch the smiley faces to the beat of the song you picked. The best part is the “freestyle” phase were you flail around like an idiot in a frantic effort to get as many points as possible (the more you move during freestyle, the more points you get). The game lavishes your freestyle with trippy special effects. And it records your freestyle so you can watch it at the end of your turn. There’s just a little wrinkle. The game strips out all the special effects in the recording, so it’s just you in your living room looking like you suffer from some kind of mental disorder. Can you say HILARIOUS? I knew you could.

I brought the game with me to L.A. when I was sent there to do the Stacked promo for Friendster. I had a secret hope that I would play with Pam, Paget, Renee and the other babes of Stacked. Alas, it never happened. Does the Make a Wish foundation fulfill requests like that? I’m not dying of anything, but maybe they sometimes grant wishes just because of how good a wish it is. I mean, come on that’s a pretty good wish.
