It is E3 (said E-cube) time at Los Angeles till tonight.
Just thinking that I could be there :’( I had a last minute mission : Go to LA and pick up my grand mother. But finally, my aunt there will travel with her to Paris ^_^

What E3 is ?

Short for Electronic Entertainment Expo.
The biggest video game exhibiton. All the video game industry is there for 3 days.

Anything new this year ?

Et comment !! (hmmm how to say that in english ? … I don’t know lol Simply said : “and how !!” ? haha )
This year, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo respectively announced their X-360, PS3 and Revolution ; their next gen hardware. One will be available this fall (X-360) and the others somehow in 2006
Anyway, I don’t really care lol
More news on the web ; google his your friend ^_^

So why this billet just to tell that I don’t care about ?

I-MISS-SEGA !!

Sega stopped the hardware industry but they were supposed to “make” games for all-platforms. But W-H-A-T the hell are they (SEGA) doing ? W-H-E-R-E are those games ??

Until before Sega was out, I bought a Sega system to play their games ! The best ever ^_^
But after that I had a Playstation 2 (berk !) to play ……. Gran Tourismo 3 O_o (great game by the way) and ….. Virtua Fighter 4 !! The only 2 games which made me bought the PS2 lol
Then came the time to get a Game Cube to play …….. Zelda haha again.

So Where is Yu-Suzuki ? and all the AM department ? Yes I’m really out lol
I think it is been a while since those AM doesn’t exist anymore

Anyway,
I’m dreaming of a Virtua Fighter 5 (so far better than those Tekken and Soul Calibur !)
I’m dreaming of a new Daytona USA
I’m dreaming of a new Sega Rally
I’m dreaming of a new Virtua Cop
…………

I don’t know how Sega has been so far almost “forgotten” now :/
Ok in a hand, Sega quit the hardware industry but were supposed to be a major in the software industry such as Namco, Konami, Capcom and co. (I told you, I’m totally out lol ; I won’t be able to give you a recent name hahaha)

My “vision” (lol) was a lot of gamers liked Sega games but not Sega hardwares. So by being a multi-platforms games editors, all those gamers who never had any Sega system will buy Sega games to play either on a Sony or Nintendo system.
With years, money should be back ; the problem is “should” lol.
And then (yes i know this is a part of utopia lol) Sega will be back in the hardware industry with tons of new gamers around 2010 haha

But as far as it’s gone, I seriously doubt about their come back :’(

(Sorry, it was a nostalgy time) :p

Still a SEGA fanboy at heart ^_^

PS : too bad that Sega Japan wesite is all in japanese :’(
Sega of America and Sega Europe websites suck !

first part was here

Today I eventually decided to get that silly 4in1 adapter from Archos !
In a correct french, I should say “QUELLE MERDE !!” (what a shit !! (lol) ).

What is that ?

Archos AV4×0 has a Compact Flash built-in port which allows you to use your pocket media player to store your digital pictures freshly taken.
But to be able to use my Memory Stick, I need an adapter.
So I thought (and I have no idea why) that the one from Archos was specific to Archos product O_o
Pffffff it is not ; Archos buys those stupid adapters and sticks an “Archos” sticker on it !!
Price : adapter = 10€ ; Archos sticker = 40€ >>> Archos adapter = 50€

Why is it bad ?

Give a look on the picture hahaha

See how ugly and huge it is lol.
The picture above is really how it is when the adapter is plugged in.

The picture above is how at least it should be ! (photoshop inside)

Anyway I’ll return that ugly thing

By the way, the AV4×0 is a neat machine to store and preview your pictures. Easy and fast to use.
