I Want This: Sega Genesis GenMobile

In 1995 Sega released the Nomad, a portable gaming device that played your Sega Genesis cartridges on the go. The Nomad was/ is one of the coolest gaming devices on the planet. Its the size of like 4 PSPs, uses AA batteries like they are going out of style, and has a very sad, very 90's screen. It is revered by collectors, however, for being comfortable, having stereo audio, and it's ability to play Genesis games on the go. With all that amazingness, for some strange reason, it wasn't until last year that we got a new way to play Genesis games on a portable console. The GenMobile is an officially licensed Sega Genesis console made by AtGames. It's kinda cheapy plastic, the screen is a small 2.4 inch LCD, and the audio is mono and eh. But, the new system is light, only about 5.5 inches across, has a bright screen, amazing battery life, and has 20 games preinstalled. Of course, the most important part for me is it's ability to play cartridges. I can't wait to play my favorites again; Primal Rage, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie, Aladdin, Comix Zone, Columns, Mortal Kombat, and of course Sonic 2. It retails about $40, if you can find it, and games are cheap now-a-days. So if you miss playing Genesis, and need your fix on the go, check out the GenMobile :)

Comic-Con Obsession: Sora Avatar

Just got back from San Diego Comic-Con 2010, and while there was probably a lot to fall in love with... I fell in love all over again with this little guy. If you don't recognize him, he's a super cute chibi representation of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Comic-Con 09 I grabbed this little dude on a phone keychain thingy, and this year they had a new set including Halloweentown Sora. But what really had me excited were little 3 inch figures of what they call Kingdom Hearts Avatars. The 3 inch figs were attached to the cash registers at Square Enix's booth, and they told me they weren't available to the public yet. I want! They were insanely cute. Here's some pix of the keychain thingys available now, and I'll keep you in the know if I hear anything about the 3 inchers. Also, there is a big Sora Avatar available now through the website for like $129. Adorable, but not what I'm stoked for. Click the image above to see that.

Obsession of the Day: American Apparel Summer 2010 Nail Lacquer Collection

6 hot new colors are out from AA to complement their Summer collection. The formulas are a not too much better this time around, but the colors are choice. There are the 4 depicted in the photo above; Malibu Green, L'esprit, Butter, and Summer Peach. There is also a cool Khaki color that I really wanna snag called California Trooper (in honor of our states beloved CHP) and a clear base/top coat (that no one is going to buy). The colors are PERFECTLY suited for the weird Wintery Summer we have been having out here on the golden coast. Check out AA's site by clicking the pic above to see all the polish offerings.
