Non ce titre n'a absolument rien de tendancieux, il décrit tout simplement la prochaine création du célèbre fabriquant d'accessoires Nyko pour remplacer ces maudites pédales en plastique qui craquent si allègrement sous les pieds des fans de Rhythm Games à la mode. La Metal Pedal sera donc compatible avec les batteries de Rock Band 1 amp; 2 ainsi qu'avec celle de Guitar Hero World Hero et proposera une alternative valable aux accessoires de base. Signalons tout de même que de nombreux accessoiristes ce sont déjà positionnés sur ce juteux marché et que des produits similaires sont donc disponibles depuis quelques temps. Reste que les produits Nyko sont plutôt de bonne qualité et qu'un concurrent de plus sur le marché ne peut pas faire de mal. Cette nouvelle pédale trop mortelle (comme en témoigne les images présentées plus bas) sera en tout cas disponible au pays de l'oncle Sam en janvier 2009 pour un peu moins de 20 $. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;

More importantly, though, the game is based on an all-new OpenGL-based platform that allows for more variety not just in crazy background graphics, but in changing the layout of the tapping tracks themselves which is a nice switch up in game play. Tapulous CEO Bart Decrem says that the platform also allows for embedded video for even more craziness in the background eventually and interactive music videos of sorts./p pAdding embedded video and more craziness might lead to slowdowns, which in a rhythm game is a no-no. The version we played can get a little jerky at times, but on the whole is smooth and looks great. Tap Tap Dance is $5, but the free version will continue to receive its weekly updates and new tracks, and will eventually be ported over to the new Open GL framework itself next year./p pobject width="640" height="361"param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2418086amp;server=vimeo.comamp;show_title=1amp;show_byline=1amp;show_portrait=0amp;color=00ADEFamp;fullscreen=1" embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2418086amp;server=vimeo.comamp;show_title=1amp;show_byline=1amp;show_portrait=0amp;color=00ADEFamp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="361"/object/p pTap Tap Dance's complete song list:/p blockquote p- Technologic by Daft Punkbr - Zdarlight by Digitalismbr - Phantom Pt II (Soulwax Remix) by Justicebr - Stratosphere by Junkie XLbr - Disco Lies (Remix) by Mobybr - Midnight Madness by The Chemical Brothersbr - Goldrush by Tiestobr - Compressor by Soul Magic Orchestra (Exclusive)br - Where's Your Head At by Basement Jaxxbr - Daylight (Exclusive Morgan Page Remix) by Sunny Levine/p /blockquote p[a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=298120834mt=8"Tap Tap Dance/a - iTunes]/p br style="clear: both;"/ a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?s=35c8a1f46de7bf6190e11f9da4e17fb2p=1"img alt="" style="border: 0;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?s=35c8a1f46de7bf6190e11f9da4e17fb2p=1"//a img src="http://www.pheedo.com/feeds/tracker.php?i=35c8a1f46de7bf6190e11f9da4e17fb2" style="display: none;" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt=""/div class="feedflare" a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=4WATo7Bz"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?d=120" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=Yx2aM1Fk"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=jpikOF4S"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=jpikOF4S" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feeds.gawker.com/~f/gizmodo/full?a=k3ezrLpY"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/gizmodo/full?i=k3ezrLpY" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~4/EeXpHY_yWaE" height="1" width="1"/

Author : Glenn Blakeslee

He became part of the Grand Flyby Mission midway through the third decade of his life, as a junior designer on the Flight Data Subsystem team.

He found himself at the leading edge of spacecraft design, and worked with the members of his team to build a robust device capable of data-handling functions for a long-term project.

He went to the Cape for the liftoff, was amazed to see the spacecraft climb on a column of flame. He met a girl on a Florida beach, and a year later married her.

The next years were heady times, as the spacecraft arrowed its way to the outer planets: Jupiter and her moons were imaged, and Saturn and her rings fell to the instruments aboard the spacecraft. He lived as fast as the data coming in, speeding the crowding freeways of LA in his sports car and drinking more than usual. He had an affair, which his wife did not discover.

The spacecraft’s mission was extended, and he found himself no longer a junior engineer but in charge of a team. The FDS was his baby, he the hands-down expert. The spacecraft was the first to perform a flyby of Uranus, and the first to photograph Neptune.

In the fifth decade of his life, he found himself settling down. His fast car had long ago been traded for a family-style sedan. He spent hours at work designing methods for upgrading the spacecraft, and when he and his team succeeded the job of the spacecraft changed again, to a long-duration interstellar mission. His wife learned of his dalliance a decade earlier and, bored and facing an empty nest, divorced him.

Some of the instruments on the spacecraft —those with no use in the sparser stretches of the solar system— were shut down, and though the incoming data never ceased it did slow. He found his staff reduced, which was expected. He found his life had settled into a slow rhythm —collecting data from the far-off spacecraft, sending updates across the expanse, sleeping and eating.

One year after the spacecraft crossed the termination shock —the inexorable slowing of the solar wind— he suffered a heart attack. He took time off but kept charge of his small team. With doctors orders he was back on the job, but charged with shutting down two more of the spacecraft’s systems. Three years later he retired.

He kept a firm hand on the spacecraft’s systems as a part-time consultant. With only two instruments still collecting data, the mission had collapsed to a terminal phase. They held a party when the spacecraft entered heliopause, and it reminded him of the good old days, when the spacecraft was running fast through the outer planets and the data stream held discovery after discovery. Now past the edge of the solar system, the spacecraft would coast quietly forever.

It became apparent to him that he and the spacecraft had led parallel lives, from a fast and fiery launch to a slow cold end.

Late in his eighth decade he found that his time in the sun had created a defect in his skin which, in the darkness and solitude of his late age, would probably end his life. So, too, the spacecraft: its time in the sun had ended, the reactors that powered it all but discharged. But it sped on, and so might he.

The rapid telemetry of his heart would slow, the data stream of his brain would trickle to a stop —but he knew, somehow, that he and the spacecraft would ride together, into the light of lesser suns.

Publié un poil plus tôt que d'habitude, voici le top software Media Create de la semaine du 24 au 30 novembre 2008. L'approche des fêtes de fin d'année commence à se faire ressentir, en effet les ventes cette semaine atteignent des scores assez élevés. Et ce n'est pas Layton 3 qui s'en plaindra puisqu'il réalise un joli carton en prenant la pole position du classement. L'autre grosse entrée de la semaine est Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 sur PlayStation 3 s'emparant de la seconde place du top. Même si son lancement n'a pas la même pénétration sur le sol nippon que ses grand frères sur PlayStation 2, la tendance a quand même le mérite d'être clair, les amateurs du jeu de foot de Konami commencent à se tourner vers les machines HD. Enfin à la troisième place on retrouve le sauveur des fêtes de Noël de Nintendo, Animal Crossing : Let's Go to the City, qui doit se sentir bien seul après la déroute de Wii Music. Dans la suite du classement on assiste à un bombardement de nouveautés PSP dont le fameux Kenka Banchou 3, un GTA-like au pays des yakuzas, dont les deux premiers épisodes sur PlayStation 2 n'ont jamais voulu quitté le sol nippon. Enfin, les piliers de comptoirs de la DS : Rhythm Heaven et Pokémon Platine ne sont pas très loin en occupant respectivement la 12ème et 13ème place du classement.
