Loading ...Artist Review: Maduro
It’s time to once again combine two of my loves – tribal fusion belly dancing, and music. >a href=”http://www.octofoil-records.com”>Octofoil Records recording artist Maduro takes care of both in one.
Maduro’s songs are able to transport you to a different time in your head. Songs like “Glass Eaters” take you back in time with visions of harems, sultans, and popular myths about the middle east. “Bitten” invokes a post apocalyptic setting that pulls you right into a Cyber Punk game.
Maduro’s fusion of electronic music, world beats, and middle eastern influence creates a dark and earthy sound that you will not find anywhere else.

Section: Gaming News, Features, Collecting, Nostalgia, Gear, Figures & Toys, Ads & Media, Movies, TV, Advertisements
It’s another groovy kids meal promotion, this time for the recently released Star Trek movie, now in theaters.
The promotion is through Burger King and includes 16 kids meal toys, each with its own sound effect, and four boxed drinking glasses. The drinking glasses, which each come in a colorful box, are $1.99 each with purchase and one toy is included free in each kids’ meal. Some restaurants do let you buy the toys separately but you might want to ask the price before you buy since some simply charge the meal price.
The four glasses include Spock, James Kirk, Uhura and Nero. They don’t make any noise (unless you can do that finger-on-the-ring tone thing). As for the toys, half are objects (ships and such) and half are big-headed characters. All the toys make a sound effect or emit a quote from the movie. They include (with respective sound effect in parens):
- Spock (“A rescue attempt would be illogical”)
- Hover Bike (“Vroom”)
- Uhura (“Captain, we’re being hailed.”)
- Captain Kirk (“Kirk to enterprise”)
- Enterprise (“Whoosh”)
- Chekov (“Ensign Chekov Pavel Andreivich, sir”)
- U.S.S. Kelvin (“Red Alert!”)
- Tricorder (“Stardate 2248.42”)
- Scotty (“I’m giving it all she’s got, Captina”)
- Communicator (“Beam me up”)
- Sulu (“Warp 3, sir”)
- Bones (“I’m a doctor, not a physicist”)
- Original Spock (“Live long and prosper”)
- Warbird (“Zoom”)
- Spock’s Ship (“You’re gonna be able to fly this thing, right?”)
- Shuttle (“Approaching Drop Zone”)
Check the Photo Gallery for images of all the toys and scans of the BK bags (photos of the glasses coming soon) and laugh at this crazy Burger Kingon (get it?) ad:

Loading ...Because We All Want to be a DJ
Normally, I don’t post too much about video games here on Frequency-E. However, this recent piece of news was something that caught my eye considering how much electronic music pulses through these pages. Activision has already taken care of people with dreams of being a Rock Star with Guitar Hero. Now, they are nurturing the dreams of would-be turn table jockeys all over the world. DJ Hero was announced this past week as an upcoming game from Activision.
Few details about DJ Hero have been released as of yet. We do know some well known DJs will be taking part in the game. DJ Shadow was seen at SXSW with a DJ Hero banner behind him, and Z-Trip is also confirmed. Rumors of DJ Tiesto and Daft Punk taking part in the game’s music have not been confirmed yet.
DJ Hero will feature hip-hop, R&B, electronica and dance music genres. Activision also promises that “DJs” will be able to create original mixes using the turntable controllers. Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero were also announced for release this past week.

Is Apple Nintendo’s Problem?
Is Apple Nintendo’s Problem?
Nintendo has seen a significant drop in profits lately and most say Apple’s mobile gaming platform is to blame. Nintendo themselves are even keeping an eye on Apple. Sony and Microsoft is no longer the thorn in Mario’s side. It’s the big “little i”.
Is Apple really the biggest issue Nintendo is facing or is it a larger issue? Most likely, a little bit of both. As a hardcore Nintendo fan, I can safely say that my favorite gaming company has failed me the past few years. It all began with the shoddy release of Twilight Princess, the lack of core titles for the DS and then the Wii games that were off-shoots of “Sports” started to move through the shelves.
What’s left for us? The Moms, families and kids are only going to enjoy their Wii for so long. Then, they will put it down for a new toy that’s promising family fun. I have it on good authority to say this since I’ve sold my Nintendo Wii. Why? Because my kids stopped playing it and moved on to something else.
Nintendo has forgotten about their core audience. They have been pumping out games for a brand new audience that were quite successful. You can only go so far with the “Wii-fit-sports-swimming pool-billiards-backyard party” franchise. Frankly, you can only go so far with any franchise. I have to admit, even Zelda is in desperate need of an upgrade. -
5 Awesome Nintendo character tattoos
5 Awesome Nintendo character tattoos
Like other uber geeks, we are the beautiful people and we have awesome taste in tattoos, clothing, games, tech, gadgets and nostalgia. A generation grew up on Atari, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and the Mother of video game entertainment of the 1980’s – Nintendo. We proudly wear our dorky gamer badges on our bodies for all to see.
There are probably hundreds of thousands of Nintendo tattoos out there. We scoured the web to find our 5 favorite Nintendo character tattoos.
#5. Hey. Hey Listen!
Why Navi? Of all things, why Navi?! Because you said that as soon as you saw this tattoo. She’s embedded into your brain, the constant screaming of “Hey, hey hey listen!” and this brave man has made sure everyone will remember it. The tattoo is really well done, but we all hate him just a little bit.
#4. Stars and Ghosts, oh my!
This tattoo comes complete with invincible stars and a Boo. It’s quite obvious this girl loves her Nintendo. We love her half-sleeve and her stars. The original photo by Kotaku stated this woman’s husband was the tattoo artist. We love both of them just a little.
#3. 8 Bit Mario
Memories of throwing your controller when Mario died, moving the controller with Mario to make him jump and wanting to kill Toad when your Princess was in another castle come to mind when looking at this tattoo. The original tattoo is credited to artist Jon Poulson on Flickr.
Number 2 and number 1 are after the break

E3 2010 Predictions
E3 2010 Predictions
E3 2010 is a couple of months away. As usual, everyone is making predictions and speculating what huge announcements are coming. A lot of talk is revolving around Sony and Microsoft this year. There are hopes of long-awaited games finally coming out in the public eye.I wonder if Duke Nukem will finally come out? Sure. Right.
For E3 this year, I have a couple of predictions of my own. I am hoping that Nintendo redeems themselves and announces a new Legend of Zelda game. I see the game releasing during the 4th quarter of 2010. Gears of War 3 is another prediction. I don’t see it releasing in the 4th quarter of 2010. I see an announcement at E3 with the possibility of release in 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2011.
I asked on Twitter what your predictions for E3 are from The Geek Media’s Twitter and my personal Twitter. The answers after the jump. next
