Nielsen Video Game Ratings

More evidence that video games are taking over has now been confirmed by the Nielsen Media Research company. Nielsen will begin to rate video games just as they do televisions and their advertisements. Nielsen’s GamePlay Metrics will essentially will offer video game advertisers and developers a more precise way to track how the advertisements in-game are being used. This will help developers gain a larger audience with more advertisers help picking up some of the cost. The GamePlay Metrics service will be available Mid-2007, just in time for the “Big 3” (Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii) to cash in on the new video game tracking system.

Xbox Live No More…

For today only Xbox Live and Xbox.com will be down for “adding cool stuff”. I don’t know what that means but we will all find out tomorrow, October 18th at 12:00am. You won’t be able to do anything with Live such as seeing your friends or downloading games but your offline game achievements will be saved and uploaded to Xbox Live tomorrow. So everyone has a guess as to what will be new and so I want to throw my guess into the mix. I think after the update all Xbox 360s will transform and defend the Earth from the Decepticons. More than meets the eye!

Ecliptic Sight Podcast: Drunk Blend Edition

Ecliptic Sight Podcast: Drunk Blend Edition is a special instrumental mix by world-class DJ headpiece747. Rumor has it that in the summer of 1999, headpiece747 did this mix while scratching and drinking a gallon of whiskey. There is no introduction or talking because Saibot has been under the weather and will be back next week for your regular scheduled podcast. Also there is no tracklisting available because headpiece747 is too drunk to remember. More info at EclipticSight.com.

Do You Have ESP…MySpace?

I have tried to resist the MySpace machine for the longest time. Mostly because I saw no point in having a website and MySpace for the same functions. Well pigs must be flying somewhere because the Ecliptic Sight Podcast has entered into the MySpace realm. It is just easier to reach independent/underground artists through MySpace. I have had direct connect with a couple of artists and have added them and will continue to found new music through it for my podcast. So for the time being enjoy…
