WCW/nWo World Tour N64 Commerical

I was just aimlessly browsing videos on YouTube and found an old commercial in America for one of the first games I had on N64. WCW/nWo World Tour. Does anyone remember this game? Mine came with a knock-off rumble pack because this game supported it...SCORE!

I was in the thick of a Pro Wrestling fad when I was in my early teens and ended up with a whole swag of Wrestling Games on the N64. I also have some on XBOX360 because whether you like watching wrestling or not, these wrestling beat-em up games are very fun to play.

Enjoy :)

The Evolving Blog

Hi everyone, I'm gaining followers and loving it. As a sign of my appreciation I have done us both a favor...updated the look and feel of this blog!

New visitors can now see what this blog is all about with a list of my most popular entries, there is also a visitor counter and browsing past entries is now easier with a more effective archiving scheme.

To celebrate I have registered for a PokerStars freeroll tournament that has $150 of prize money on offer.

You might be aware that On April 20th (toke on lulz) 2011, control of the Pokerstars.com domain name was returned to the company from the US Attorney's office, "to facilitate the withdrawal of U.S. players’ funds held in account with the companies."


^^This has not affected me as I am in Australia, and I'm playing a free tournament with real money as prizes.


During this tournament I will maintain a blog of what's happening at the table and what's going through my mind - This will be close to real-time with edits to the original blog (so this place doesn't get littered with new entries).


Starts in about 20 minutes, wish me luck :)


Also, here's a picture I enjoyed and want to share

Australian Ban on Incandescent Light Bulbs

This weekend just gone I went through some old magazines I have. One was an old G (green living) Magazine from September 2008.

There is a small blurb that states:

The sale of incandescent bulbs will be banned in Australia by the end of 2010. This will reduce our electricity use by 4 terrawatts per year - that's as much electricity as a small coal-fired power station produces.


-Originally sourced from the Federal Department of the Environment


4 terrawatts = 4,000,000,000,000 watts

There are 24 hours in a day and 365 days in an regular year, multiply these together and you have a total of 8760 hours in one year.

To determine the cited savings in the standard unit of kilowatt hour, we first have to turn those watts into kilowatts by dividing by 1,000

So 4,000,000,000 kilowatts - Now we average this use across all the hours of one year (8760 hours).

4,000,000,000 / 8760 = 456,621 kWh (456.6 Megawatt Hours)

...So by just switching light bulbs Australia collectively saves 456.6mWh every hour for an entire year?!?

This seems impressive, divided over 22million residents of Australia it comes out at about a 0.5 kilowatt hour saving...@ 20c per kilowatt hour, Australians are supposedly saving 10c an hour because of this switch - But was the 4 terrawatt figure for savings given in 2008 accurate? I'm not sure :P

What I do know is that if one business provided the whole of Australia with electricity and this happened that it would represent (at a rate of 20c per kWh) a loss of income of $91,324.20 every hour, or $2,191,780.80 per day...a whopping $799,999,992 per year. And people wonder why electricity prices keep rising...

According to wiki.answers.com

"...950 grams of CO2 is evolved for every KWh of electricity produced"


Making the assumption that all of those 4 terrawatts were sourced from coal fired power plants, this would represent a saving in C02 emissions of 433,790 Kg...every hour, for a year.


Considering Australia is preventing nearly half a megaton of CO2 every hour, why is the Labor Government of Australia introducing a carbon tax?
