The Chintendo Vii was one of the first true knock offs of the beloved Nintendo Wii. It had a controller, wands and attachments for all the different “Wii Like” games that it came with. Well, it looks like the folks at Arctic Cooling decided that they wanted a stab at marketing it through more legitimate channels. However, I’m not sure what the fit is for this Swiss company that makes CPU coolers and thermal paste. I guess in tough economic times, you have to diversify a little.

The Chintendo…I mean…the ARCTIC GC PRO comes with 48 built in games and features “High Res 3D 32-bit graphics”. All of this is topped off with a 2 year warranty and a $57.90 US price tag. Full press release and additional photos of this machine is after the break.

My whole life, I’ve heard that as you get older it becomes harder to learn to do things a different way from how you have been, and I’ve always just laughed and thought it’s because old people are set in their ways and aren’t open to new things. Now I am apparently an old person, because I’ve been sitting here for quite some time trying to do a new style of posting and failing miserably. I hate admitting defeat, so I’ll have to work on it some more, and we’ll all have to deal with what I’ve been doing until I get it.

What is the deal lately!?! I mean, I realize people pass away all the time, but we’re having a epidemic! Some expected, some not expected but also not unreasonable, and some just flat shocking. I’m not normally one to follow all the celebrity gossip (my own life is enough of a soap opera, I don’t need to borrow theirs), but lately it’s very hard not to. Hopefully we’re done with this for a while.

We finally realized that it is never going to cool off again, and the humidity is never going to drop below 75%, so we might as well bite the bullet and just do it. So far today I’ve weeded two planters and watered all the flower beds. After a short break in front of the fan, we’ll be trimming some bushes that are taking over the world and then trying to find and mark where all the poison ivy is growing this year so it can be killed later. I think that’ll probably be plenty enough for one day.

The last time I was paying attention, it was the beginning of the week, and here we are at Friday afternoon already! Nice! On a somewhat more serious note, RIP Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. You were great entertainers in your own way, and you will be missed. My condolences to their families and friends left behind.
