UTSouthwestern shows Hispanic Love

UTSW has been ranked the best medical school for Hispanics for the second year in a row by Hispanic Business magazine. We're pretty much awesome. Some of my friends were interviewed by the local Univision station. Just so you know, we don't EVER wear our white coats in the library. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever seen anyone use that room.

Update: Forgot to mention that its Alheli Garza and Nicole Vera that get interviewed.

EA Sports invades HOME

Well between this and today's release of the Red Bull sponsored area it looks like HOME might actually be worth a visit this week. The video for the upcoming EA "sports park" looks really promising to me. I wonder what HOME'll be like in a year?

This is cool, but I just wanna go to the docks that I can see outside my balcony window!

Nice (Ninja) Suit.

Here are a few pics from the upcoming DLC for Fallout 3. First thing that popped up in my head? I hope I can loot that guys armor after he dies (by my hands if necessary). Apparently I am not the only one with these inclinations, as Mike Fahey from Kotaku put it:

[The] ninja screenshot features a guy who is going to die so I can wear his armor. Dressing for success in the world of Fallout 3 is a dangerous game, and a guy in a ninja outfit isn't going to last very long. His death is a moral imperative.

E.G.M. R.I.P.

Long-running video game mag, Electronic Gaming Monthly, has come to the end of the road. To the left is the Cover for the February issue which unfortunately will never be shipped. Oh well, I suppose Egon was right when he declared "Print is Dead." Reminisce after the jump...

I personally have a lot of fond memories of video game magazines, primarily Nintendo Power which we had a subscription to. You may recall EGM was known for their annual April Fool's prank which were often hilarious. In fact I did a quick wikipedia search and found a full list of their pranks. Some notable standouts (from Wikipedia article):

1992: "Perhaps the most infamous of all the April Fools jokes was the Sheng Long trick for Street Fighter II. It was said that if one could get through Street Fighter II's grueling 11-character roster without taking a hit, and then get 9 "draws" in a row vs. final boss M. Bison, the player could supposedly fight against a special character called Sheng Long, who was said to be Ryu's master."

2001: "A small article in the April magazine advertised that Sega found a warehouse full of Sega Neptunes and were selling them off. There was a website listed where one could order a Neptune for $399.99. However, after one added it to their cart they were immediately directed to another web site that read "APRIL FOOLS!" and had a counter at the bottom of the screen showing how many people "fell" for it."

2006: "States that Apple Computer is making a portable gaming device called the iGame. The iGame would have been compatible with iTunes, Apple's music download store. Closer examination of one of the images revealed that the first letter in each game's title on the list spelled out EGMS APRIL FOOLS.
Coincidentally, current generation models of Apple's iPod device allow for the downloading and playing of small games through iTunes."

Oh well, another gaming mag bites the dust.

Rap

Hip hop doesnt typically fall into the realm of my taste in music, HOWEVER, I did catch this song the other day on the radio and I coudlnt get it out of my head after a while. Can you guess what part caught my attention first? By the way this is a fan-made video for the song Move(If You Wanna) by Mims.

...Pretty much anything with references to Star Wars will win me over. Which is why you should hit the jump!

This isnt new, but its still awesome:

This also isnt new, but has some hilarious lines. Its NSFW so at least lower the volume.

Dont forget to use the Force before Intercourse, guys!

Save Energy, Ride a Bike!

Seeing as how my little bro decided to get political, I'll throw in my own two cents. What do people have against riding a bike? It not only saves on gas money, pollutes less and decreases the number of cars on the road, but it is healthy, fun, and a great way to get from point a to point b. I'm sure that I will not agree with all of the Dem's politics these coming four years, but I wholeheartedly support this one.

Robotic Evolution

Here's a cool vid. It's an ad for European electronics brand Saturn. Other than the fem-bot yelling at me in German at the end, it's sweet.

Which superpower would you choose?

Seriously, oh my freakin' goodness. These guys are crazy. I would say that I am a bit jealous, but I'm pretty sure that I would poo my pants if I would get that close to the rockface. I do have to admit that I always answered the which super power do you want question with flight. This seems pretty close to that, but I don't have the balls.
