So here’s the deal, every Friday I’ll be doing a post that covers a bunch of junk that I either missed, or didn’t post about earlier in the week. If there’s something extra tasty that I wrote about, I’ll probably be including it as well. Like the rest of this glorious blog, the Friday post is still a work in progress and the format could change drastically from week to week. What I’m trying to say is that in no way do I or the rest of GP’s staff endorse or guarantee that every Friday’s post will be in any way similar to any done on a previous, or future, Friday. (Side-note: You’re probably thinking, “I know Mike doesn’t have a staff. Why’s he fronting on my crew?” You’re wrong sucka!! I do, in fact, have a staff. Who cares that it consists of myself, TheMrs., and our two dogs aka Team RamRox. Do you have a staff? DO YOU?!?!)

I’ve already admitted to the fact that I basically hate Apple and Stevie J., but I had no idea they could be such little gingers. During a panel at last week’s GDC (Game Developers Conference) a developer of a basically unknown app trashed the App Store declaring that he, “absolutely fucking hate[s] the iPhone app store.” Well, Ol’ Jobsy got his panties in a bunch and now that guys app has been yanked from said App Store. Way to be adults about it, Apple. There are people all across the interwebs that have said Google’s Nexus One has been a failure. Well, Google decided to stick it’s tongue out at them while yelling, “Nuh-uh!! Our phone is too good and is selling just fine and I’m telling my mommy!!” All this happened in the same week that Microsoft decided they may be giving its pathetic excuse of a game console, the Xbox 360, the option to use an external USB Hard Drive to solve space issues. Of course, they’re only going to let you have an extra 16GB of space because they’re Microsoft and they do what they want, damnit! Nice to know that the three biggest tech companies in the world can be such spoiled brats…

This week was also the week in which some genius, who’s actually the head of the International Actors’ Federation, was asked about Internet Piracy and responded with this gem of a quote, “To me, piracy is something adventurous, it makes you think about Johnny Depp. We all want to be a bit like Johnny Depp. But we’re talking about a criminal act. We’re talking about making it impossible to make a living from what you do.” I haven’t talked about Piracy here yet, but if you know me you know that I don’t really have a problem with it. But, I’ve never thought, “Man, if I download the latest episode of The Office, I’ll be just like Johnny Depp since he was a pirate and I’d be committing an act of piracy.” I’m convinced that at least 90% of the population are complete morons…We’re going to try to end each week with a few choice videos that I haven’t shown yet. So, let’s get to the ones for this week since they’ll wrap up this glorious day in which I got my tax refunds back. (Side-note: It was so awesome to check my bank account this morning and see the numbers I saw. It was just like in Office Space when they check their account and realize they totally screwed up on their big stealing plans only there was nowhere near that many zeroes. I did, however, get to buy a Kindle, so expect an unboxing extravaganza Monday and my full review later in the week.) The first video is an awesome one done by Penguin Books speaking on the future of books and ebooks. The next video is Sony’s first ad for their upcoming Playstation Move. They take some shots at the Wii and the 360 and it works, even though I don’t think the Wii is in any trouble; I actually wrote up a nice piece on that over at TheSpin last week. And I’m gonna top off this Friday-flavored Sunday with a cherry that is cleverly disguised as the debut trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s upcoming reboot, Predators. I’ve loved every film in the Predator franchise, even AvP: Requiem, and this one looks to be stupid dope. Can.Not.Wait. So, there you have it, GP’s inaugural Week In Geek, I only hope it was as good for you as it was for me. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.
