Dana Dane Online

There was a time, when Rap and Hip-Hop was enjoyable to me. That was before it became filled with the profanity and violence that exist in the genre today. We’re talking back when DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince were cranking out tunes about how your parents just don’t understand.

Ok, granted his tunage was mainly aimed for the younger people, but at least the lyrics were clean and enjoyable. That’s more than I can say about music from any genre that kids listen to today.

God, I never thought I would think something like that. It’s proof right there, that I am in fact getting old.

Anyway, I got to thinking about hip-hop from my past, and remembered an artist who went by the name Dana Dane. He performed a few popular songs at the time, however the two that stick out in my mind the most, is Nightmares of the night, and Cinderfella.

So, since I was thinking about him, I got to wondering just what he was up to now, and I decided to Google him. The first site that popped up was of course his site, danadane.com of course. So, I clicked to head on over to his site, and was treated to hm actually singing out his URL.

This got me wondering, How cool would it be to have my domain URL sung?! Seriously, I wonder how much Dana Dane would charge to sing “Shaide blog dot com”. That would kick ass! That right there, is a brilliant business idea!

PS2 still in the running? WTF?

I have just found out that games for the Playstation 2 are being produced! This actually comes as a huge shock to me, as I assumed that they quit making Playstation 2 games years ago! I know they quit making Xbox titles soon after the 360 came out, and I just assumed the same happened with the PS2. This however is NOT the case, they are still making games for the PS2! Not just crappy games either, Top titles! For instance Marvel Ultimate Alliance? One of the hottest Role playing titles to come out within the last few months? It was also released on the PS2!

This has entirely changed my opinion on Sony and their Playstation gaming systems. They actually seem to CARE about their customer base, and realise not all their customers can afford a PS3(Or may not want to, since their PS3 slim wont allow them to play Everquest adventurers). Taking that into consideration they contnued to produce games for this last gen gaming system, and you know what? the games don’t look half bad! In fact, the newer PS2 titles could be compared to their next gen counterparts.

I’ve even unhooked my xbox 360, and started playing my PS2 again. Even considering buying a PS3 now, due to this newfound respect that I have for Sony. If their systems still allowed you to play PS2 games? I would buy a PS3 tomorrow without a second thought. As it is, the idea of a PS3 is tempting.

Wii on the other hand? I laugh in your general direction!

New batman game idea

Anyone who has EVER played a “Batman” game, knows that batman games suck. They just do..It’s their curse. They have stunk ever since the NES days…and that has been awhile.

HOWEVER! I had got to thinking…and I thought of a Batman game I would love to play! So, here is my idea for a new Batman game…

Don’t base the game on the movies..the movies tend to suck, so chances are..The game will suck too! Don’t base it on the comics either because..Quite frankly, the fanboys prolly won’t like it, because in their eyes noithing is going to be as good as the comic..Plus, it’s just near impossible to get the feel right.

What’s left you say? A batman game based on the 60’s camp series “Bat-Man”! You can even get Adam West to do the voice of Batman! I mean, he has done voice work in other games..So it’s not like he’s opposed to video game voice work!

You *COULD* even have the game Cell Shaded if you want, but that would be a judgement call..It would add a cartoon look to the game and people would know that it isn’t serious..Plus cell-shading used to be all the rage right now..sooo….that would kinda add to the nostalgia factor, plus if made on the last generation consoles as sort of a last hurrah kinda thing, then cell shading would be pretty keen?

Also, when you punch a villian on occasion a little POW! or KABLAM! balloon could appear over the guy you just hit! You could even have a level where you must stop cat woman who has just stolen a priceless cat collar from the gotham egyptian museum…and the final battle with cat woman in the form of a mini-game that plays like one of those dance games that are so popular..and you have a dance off with her doing the batusi!

You could call the game.. “The Bat-Game!”

Okay, it might still sort of suck..thanks to the batman game curse..but really, it couldn’t possibly do any worse than the other batman games, PLUS! you would have the nostalgian bonus factor..Meaning, in reviews you would get that extra point or so..simply for Nostalgia!

I think it would be coolio, and I would definately buy it!

80s Cell phone

I have said before in the past, and I will say so again now. I love the eighties. No era can beat the 1980’s! Although the Thirties did in my opinion come close, at least in terms of fashion and music and so fourth. So, I thought I would give you all a flashback as to WHY the 80s was so groovy!

Here you can gaze in wide eyed wonder at this ultra modern and definately ultra sleek Brick Cell phone! Awwww…the good ol’ days!

Eye of the Tiger!

Ok, so here’s a little fun factoid about yours truly. I love the eighties! I love 80’s movies, 80’s songs even fashion from the 1980’s! Not to mention TV shows and cartoons 😀

Anyway, one of my favorite 80’s songs is “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor! Anyway, it’s been stuck in my head all day. So figured I would post the classic video for you to watch here..and maybe it can be stuck in your head too! 😉
