2007-02-15
welcome to the crave video podcast I'm Veronica Belmont and I'm arielle moon is once again I'm happy to be back thank you for coming back once again nobody anyway this is the video podcast is based on our gadget blog crave cnet com and we're going to talk about some of the wild crazy neato stuff that we found on the blog this week and but first I want to address a little bit of reader commentary Emily writes in and she says hey guys I just watch your crave with Molly Wood after getting cravey I went over to verizon's website the first thing that came up in the display window was a strawberry chocolate but then pink strawberry started falling from the sky she said okay seriously verizon is colorblind no wonder they're so called chocolate phone is actually black right doesn't that make sense it's true I always thought it was funny that the chocolate was black and not brown there needs to be more brown gadgets in the world but anyway we digress so what do you have for me today well I got a cool one it's actually from nerf nerf is getting high so they made some attachments for the Nintendo Wii so you can add on like a baseball bat or I hear like boxing gloves or tennis racket or golf clubs to your actual we and get more interactive than you already are and what I like about it is that you could probably interchange them so you could play boxing with a baseball bat why would you want why would you could like hit the other person was a big baseball bat yeah why not you're way more violent I thought you ready the things you learn about video games I like a little more gentler you know more intellectual kind of simulation sometimes I'm tilting like building legos for example if you have five hundred dollars to spare you can build the new lego kit of the Millennium Falcon you know from Star Wars yeah it's the thing is 33 inches by 22 inches so I mean it is not small it is a big Lego contraption and I mean it would take you a while but it would be totally worth it to have that sitting right there on your bookshelf forget how you gettin me gettin way $500 a little steep for me it's a little steep for any it's cool but a little steep gotta be a huge fan for that and speaking of fans my brother is a huge fan of Volkswagens and I'm here boz wagons has his own sort of cult following I've heard that before as well yeah so there one crave I saw that there's this big structure ball kind of thing created of guys oh that well exam boys it didn't look that big like could someone actually fit inside it and roll around it looks like someone could barely fit inside there but the steering wheel would be like this big I can't imagine that would be very comfortable harkening back to the we okay so well kind of actually I don't know how your home theater setup is at home but I have about six different remotes going on right now and so one for you know we've got the the wii controllers for the wii we've got the HD DVD player we've got all sorts of different stuff set up and you can buy one of those eight hundred dollars logitech harmony remotes or you can buy something called the wiimote w ee mo te not wwiii not affiliated with a nintendo wait and it's a children's remote and you can program it to do different things like there's ten different channel settings it may not solve all your home theater issues but at least it's cute and fits in your hand and won't be as confusing as the ten other controllers you may have laying around I probably still can't figure that one out either right now okay so you remember that scuba diving cat we're talking about Felix better yet so I did some research on crave of course and I want I want to figure out how can I go underwater you know without scuba diving I'm probably I to explore the depths of the ocean exactly you know and I'm lazy I don't like to swing him you are lazy so so I wanted to get I saw it on credit there's your own personalized submarine that you can get mm-hmm so so I'm gonna go ahead and pick up one of those and I'll probably and how much is that gonna put you back no it's worth it whatever is gone it's worth it and buy a bunch of Legos for 500 bucks my Legos anyway why I'm already spending enough money on world of warcraft and you have to see this video that we found of these kids who for an english project redid the canterbury tales in world of warcraft so take a look now is I've drunk a draft of corn rye pale by God it stands to reason I can strike on some good story that you all would like in Flanders once there was a company of youngsters haunting vicen ribble dream dancing and dicing day and night and bold to eat and drink far more than they can hold and once the three young rioters began to run and reach the tree and there they found the pile golden Florence on the ground new coined eight bushels of them as they thought oh why make a sermon of it why waste breath exactly in the way they'd blame his death they fell on him and slew him two to one and as it happened reaching for a sup he took a bottle full of poison up and drink and his companion nothing loath drank from it also and they perished both well that's all we have for today
