You are in the game!
Reading this the other day I envisioned that once the dream outlined below comes true Steve Jobs will stand in front of a group of self important tossers and say:
"Hi everyone. Look, I just wanted to come out here and apologise, the whole Ipad thing was a bit of a rip off and in the end was a step backwards for the business. Seriously though, you try coming up with a new way to 'advance the way we view technology' every couple of years and tell me how well you do. So with that out of the way, lets talk about how we're going to let you kill each other."
Bearing all that in mind, lets talk about the new patent Apple has submitted in the US, “Interactive Gaming with Co-Located, Networked Direction and Location Awareness.” Or as I'm going to call it from now on, 'The Hunter'. What is this thing you might ask, and rightly you should, well looking into the future Apple have seen that with the rise of 'interactive gaming' there is a lucrative market that they haven't been taping into and have thus decided to make the bold leap towards it.
But wait! I hear you say (and yes you're voice is pink in this) How does that work? The Iphone is made to play games on the go, you can't exactly attach a waving remote to it and control it like that can you?
Well lets get down to the nitty gritty. The Hunter would be a mass interaction network where you would all connect to each other over a large GPS network so you would be able to locate each other and see where you are in compass reference to each other. So how does that affect gaming, it seems like it should be more of a possessive parent app? Well here is my idea:
1. Give each icon for the people a drop down menu, this can list things that we may need to know about them (I'll come back to this in a second)
2. Release a laser tag style game system where by people have shirts that have a sensor array in the centre as well as a 'gun' they can use. because what I'm envisioning would be playable in a major city centre these 'guns' could take the form of a sonic screwdriver or even a wand.
3. Back to the drop down menu, you could give a list of weapons as well as a status, which would be avalible depending which game one was playing.
So what has this all been leading to?? A gigantic and structured game of either Humans vs Zombies or Assassins. Call me mad, but this is my new dream.
SUCK IT MOTION CONTROLS!

Trailer Knife 3D
This week I take the Knives to some trailers for upcoming 3D movies and we'll see the good, the bad and the downright wrist splittingly ugly.
FurtherNote: This video is hosted on Blip TV purely because of the size, so if people have any trouble with this format let me know and I'll put a split part version up on Youtube.
