Recently, an annual event called E3, was held in Los Angeles. This is one of the largest, if not largest, video game and electronics expo in the world. The spotlight is usually held by the top 3 game companies, Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. Each of them demonstrated their new developments and announced new projects but one of the most interesting announced devices, in Nintendo's new 3DS (at the left). The 3DS is the next generation in the DS portable gaming system and is infamous for pioneering touch screen games.
Along with stunning crisp graphics and a new joystick, the 3DS's most distinct feature is it's 3 dimensional game play, and I mean the kind that pops out of the screen. Only press associates and game developers have seen the 3D in action but from all their responses, Nintendo has seemed to nail it in the first try again. You may ask that this seems a lousy idea because you would hate to carry around a pair of 3D glasses, but as the title of this article suggests, Nintendo has figured a way to see without the glasses and only use the combination of the two screens to create a 3D effect. Also, since most people see differently from one another, the system has a knob which controls the level of 3D and even allows the user to turn the effect completely off.
This blog is my way of communicating ideas and thoughts about things, if you came here to be interested, good luck

Reincarnation of King Arthur?
Ok,
Well I was reading Wikipedia and somehow I came across this guy named Arthur Uther Pendragon (photo on the right), who was born as John Timothy Rothewell. This guy apparently believes that he is the reincarnation of the medieval King Arthur of the Round Table because he found numerous coincidences between him and the real King Arthur. He evencarries a sword created by an effects designer that is supposed to be the legendary Excalibur from the stone. He bought this sword when he saw it in a store display window and was worth £3000 (without the fact that it was memorabilia, which would increase the price). The owner said that it was not for sale and only the true King Arthur could take it. Pendragon, showing his I.D., received the sword for only £100. The funny part about it is that this sword was created for the movie "Excalibur," which was released in 1981. I in no way mean to say that he is not the reincarnation of King Arthur, but that the actual chances seem kind of rare. Here is a link to the article:
