Existing teaching methods work but can be improved. Wouldn’t it be nice if all students got an opportunity for a productive future? Now they can! The Learning Booth is like an isolation tank. It eliminates outside stimuli and speeds up learning. Many students who didn’t respond to traditional teaching methods will improve their learning and retention using The Learning Booth. Now everyone can prepare for the 21st century world market.

A lot of story arcs really went on too long, such as the infamous Frieza arc on Namek. I'm looking forward to how much things change.

I'd be interested to hear what you think of the new episodes (if you ever get a chance to see them).

Scratch is set to appear on PS3, 360, and Wii, so hopefully it'll be fully featured like Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

You just had to mention LittleBigPlanet. =( Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:08:28 +0000http://www.mediaspecblog.com/2009/02/psp-set-for-big-year-with-major.html#IDComment15864625 redskyyhttp://www.mediaspecblog.com/2008/10/scratch-ultimate-dj-brings-back.html#IDComment15701194Recent details have been somewhat scarce, but it looks like the turntable and cross-fader is where Scratch will break away from other music/rhythm games. Being able to freestyle like real DJs will allow more creative freedom in playing songs. The game apparently supports standard controllers as well, which may be comparable in gameplay to older titles like Harmonix's Frequency or Amplitude.

Though I suppose they can take solace in that a lot of people have problem spelling it as well. Though it's only a minor mistake, I'm wondering how embarrassed the cover artist must be to have been caught making such an error. At least it didn't make it to print before the internet made an uproar.

I'm leery about DJ Hero because of Activision's track record, but at least Scratch has some solid people developing both the hardware and software.

I don't understand people's fanboy-ism sometimes. It seems as if people get so caught up in trying to obtain or enjoy the same console as everyone else because of its popularity, they end up not realizing that they are playing on a system that doesn't suit their needs. People always used to ask me what system was the best, and I would always reply by asking them what types of age groups were going to be playing, what types of games those people liked, and whether or not they wanted a full media system or just something to play games on. There are many factors that determine what type of games or gaming system you want to buy. That's one thing that sets casual gamers apart from hardcore gamers. Casual gamere more prors don't really tend to put as much thought into buying games, whereas hardcore gamers ane to look at their wants further on down the road as to what the systems will be capable of a few years down the line, rather than essentially buying something that could be compared to buying a cheap toy and having it break after a few uses or becoming bored with it. I love that there is competition and so many different ways to enjoy some of the same gaming experiences. It gives people a chance to find the games and systems that they want and leaves room for development and variety instead of letting the market become saturated or stale.

It wouldn't be too surprising for Pokémon though, imo. I think Pokémon's humor is cheesy/goofy enough that they could pull it off well.
