Baby Boomers Go To War Against Beer Pong

July 31, 2008 - 1:30 pm , By Ron - Howard U.

Beer Pong, the favorite past time of American college students, has faced ever increasing heat from concerned parents, colleges and the US government. The battle has become so mainstream it made the front page news section of Yahoo.com today.

The Nintendo Wii game formally titled “Beer Pong” has taken most of the heat as the software maker JV Games received letters from angry parents and Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal who were concerned that this new form of digital binge drinking could lead to dorm room deaths. As expected JV Games copped out changing the name to “Pong Toss” and switching the cups of beer to water - what could have been a million dollar idea is now a Teen Rated waste of time. Read More »

E3 Recap: The End

July 23, 2008 - 2:30 pm , By A.D. - Columbia College

The expo is finally over. All the producers and designers can breathe a sigh of relief and get back to making games instead of pimping them. All in all I felt, as an outside observer, that the show left me slightly wanting. There was no groundbreaking news, no giant promises, and no real blockbuster game announced that we didn’t already know about.

The Nintendo Talk

Nintendo is about making cash. Which isn’t a bad thing. Unless you’re a serious hardcore Nintendo gamer fan boy who wishes they’d remake Zombie’s At My Neighbors for the Wii.I wouldn’t say they are done with hardcore games altogether, but the order of the day is definitely casual stuff, and their talk certainly said that. They did introduce some new hardware for the Wiimote that promised more accurate movement…and then used it to throw a Frisbee to a dog in Wii Sports 2. Read More »

8 Career Lessons You Can’t Learn In College

College is a great place to learn how to work hard, party hard, and make friends. College also teaches us how to live on our own and why debt sucks. But college doesn’t teach us as much about the business world because business in the real world is more about experience, confidence and the network you build. Here are 8 business rules you didn’t learn in college. [Brazen Careerist]

Beer Pong Video Game Marketed to Teens

Earlier this week, JV Games announced that they will be ‘cleaning up’ their Wii version of beer pong to be called simply ‘Pong Toss’. This was quite a clever move by the company and Nintendo to silence opponents and widen their market to include the 13 and up ages. This T rated video game produced by JV’s Frat Party games line will be the first drinking game of its kind. And right now, it sucks. Real bad.

Who would actually buy a game that is only about throwing balls in cups? Absolutely no college aged student. [Sports Anonymous]

The Ten Commandments of Finding College Housing

When it comes to the task of finding where to live during the next school year, many students can become overwhelmed at the prospects. After all, it’s a huge decision, and in many ways can make or break a school year (socially speaking). I’ve known people who lived in pretty awful apartments and houses because they didn’t do the research or take the time to decide what the best course to take was.

As a result, their years ended up being significantly less-enjoyable than they had hoped for. However, we here at College and Finance have come up with 10 Commandments for persons looking for housing in an effort to help more students avoid the fate of the terrible living arrangement.

Summer’s here and that means it’s time to neglect that reading list and playing some goddamn video games.

No problem. Here’s five classic games that you should be able to find in the used/bargain bin section that’ll give you all the excuse you need to ignore other, less important things in your life. Read More »

COED Panics at the Disco

June 12, 2008 - 12:30 pm , By Editor

Panic at the Disco have made quite a name for themselves in not a lot of time. Their first album, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, went double platinum. Before they were even 20-years-old, the guys were blowing up the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards. And now, three years later, Panic (no more exclamation point) at the Disco is touring the world with Pretty. Odd., their wildly successful new album.

COED got to sit down with Jon Walker, Panic’s badass bassist, to find out the secrets behind the music, how the band is handling all the success and just what a group of guys does on a giant tour bus. (Hint: It’s more fun that you’re having right now.)

HOLY SH*T!: Mind-Controlled Video Games…Really.

June 10, 2008 - 11:30 am , By Andrew - Hunter College

Emotiv

If you think the Wii is cool, this will make you crap your pants: A new headset device, created by Emotiv Systems, allows you to move objects, in a video game, using only you concentration.

No f**king way, right? Wrong. Apparently, these dudes used some monkey mind-games technology to make the coolest contraption to date. If this isn’t the raddest thing you hear today…well, then your life is better than mine.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Reviewed

March 12, 2008 - 1:00 pm , By Editor

In 2001, we were given the greatest game ever played by humanity: Super Smash Bros. Melee. All other so-called games before Melee were nothing but bitter pretenders.

Now, after nearly seven years of waiting, wishing, speculating, and (of course) spoiling the entire game for ourselves on Japanese YouTube videos, the sky has opened and America has been gifted with Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

How can one perfect perfection? I don’t know, but it happened. Now, one could say that all other forms of recreation – including sex with girls, I’m told – cannot compare to the sublime experience of pitting Sheik against Fox on “Final Destination.”

It’s a hobby - what can I say?

This time around there are thirty-five total characters, but only two of them are actually playable from the get go. They brought in Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Snake from that Sony game. Whatever. Also, they upgraded all of the models with the best graphics the Wii can offer.

There are over forty stages. However, using any but Final Destination is cheap and lame. Don’t bother. There’s a spaceship one and maybe one in an egg or something. It’s for babies. Final Destination is available from the get-go though, so you don’t have to go through the chore of enduring any of the one-player modes. Read More »
