Games of Nonchalance in San Francisco is a (free) real-life adventure in the streets of San Francisco. Judging from the trailer you get to explore San Francisco finding clues uncovering clues to a mysterious cult society. This staged city-adventure is very similar to the interactive Spy in the City adventures available from the International Spy Museum in Washington DC with the added bonus that it is free.

The Spy Museum’s city adventure is slightly different, however, because they provide you a GPS unit and some of the puzzle solving occurs in museums.

A recent gamesindustry.biz article mildly criticizes the game industry and video games for making people fat. Nothing groundbreaking here. Having spent approximately 6 full days of my life playing Call of Duty 4 and 5, I admit to playing for hours on end munching on doritos and drinking beer. Sometimes I will be so entranced by the game that I will sit uncomfortably for an hour while I need to go the bathroom just so I can level up.

Hey it’s no different than when I was a kid munching on doritos and drinking Pepsi while playing Street Fighter II on my Super Nintendo.

Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare has had 11 million unique players on XBOX 360 and 4 million players on PS3 according to Eurogamer. There are still consistently thousands of players online in CoD4 every day. The thing that shocked me most is that there are nearly three times more people playing XBOX online than PS3. Then no wonder why I can’t get a decent game connection through Playstation Network some nights! Nobody is playing! It gets painful to get lag-killed by 13-year olds in Australia in New Zealand all the time.
