We are coming up to the end of a generation, in the next few years we are going to start seeing new announcements of consoles and other hardware which either replaces the current offerings or removes itself and creates a 3rd pillar situation.
I’m going to post in this article a few pictures of some mock ups either developed by the community or “leeks”. I’m going to talk about what the design would offer at the end of the day, and what would be most likely the direction of Nintendo.
Nintendo is the only one which is having major rumors this year which relate to their hardware- major wise. Theres a few whispers from other people about what Microsoft or Sony would be doing, but Nintendo is the one to watch, expecially after the Nintendo DS and Wii, both unique and interesting revolutions.
Let’s get this out of the way first, if Nintendo is going to reveal a console it will be a evolution- and revolution additions to it would be minor. If its a handheld however, a revolution is more likely.
The Nintendo DS has already seen 5 different consoles under its branding. Not all of them can be revolutions, and with the XL just been an evolution of the slightly enhanced DSi, its about time Nintendo shows the world a new handheld.
Rumors are also stating the device could be a third pillar.
Nintendo handheld rumored to be leaked by the group SYNDiCATE
Above is a device which is rumored to be leaked by the group SYNDiCATE, called the Dawn, the device offers some unique prospective to the gaming industry. At the end of the day it could be a rumor, and fake, but I’m more going to talk about why something like this would be a more worthy choice for Nintendo then making a new Wii or DS, which even then is possible.
I’m not saying this particular device is real, fact it could be a load of hogwash, what I’m talking about here is the idea behind it, a Game Boy style third pillar.
For those who remember, the Nintendo DS was men’t to be a third pillar device. It wasn’t going to be in direct competition to the Game Boy, but did however feature a game boy port- which was removed from the “i” range.
Nintendo decided the Nintendo DS brand was doing better then the Game Boy brand and decided to ditch the Game Boy brand.
The Game Boy Micro was the last device from Nintendo which represents the Game Boy range, with rumors dating back to the birth of the virtual console on the Wii, we are yet to be graced with such a service for the DSi which would show the world the Game Boy games long missed.
Before the Nintendo DS, Nintendo was thinking about the next Game Boy- and quite seriously. It kept its traditional style for the most part, but rumors say it was more powerful then what the past consoles had been.
The device disappeared and the DS because of the Mirco’s failure moved on to becoming the top console. The only company to kill a Nintendo handheld- seemed to be Nintendo themselves.
If Nintendo is thinking of brining back the Game Boy line- then a third pillar device is one of the ways to do it.
Nintendo is most likely going to keep the device if it was a new Game Boy- games only, meaning it wont be like the Nintendo DS line with various multimedia features. It would also have much more simple games, reministant to the days of old, the games Nintendo had forgotten, button set would be similar to what the Game Boy has had in the past.
No carts, nothing- thats what this rumored deviced pictured above contains. I personally belive this would be the way to go, expecially if the GB line would be returning.
Nintendo catering only to the hardcore- per say, or the “retro geeks”, essencialy nothing bar downloadable services, GB Ware and GB VC, etc.
Most likely not there direction- it could just be a potato and a hat, or another DS or Wii or something stupid like a HD ad-on.
Though with Nintendo making events are events this year, its quite possible something big will happen- even if its not new hardware.

Common sense dictates that the idea of an instant beginning is impossible, and is part of a loop of the inevitable end. As much as I close down my website and bring it back, that is the secret to the behind the scenes of the universe, a loop which breathes and lives and grows, in the sense what god would be.
Religion is a human creation in order to understand life and explain the factors of the unknown, it brings with it a set of rules of what they believe is how a human should act towards his fellow man. In the end it’s a code, and if the unknown was known, then the code wouldn’t exist.
So now we have set out that religion is rules, rules are religion sort of thing, personal adaptations of how someone sees the world.
Let’s go back the loop, a loop will always demonstrate that everywhere is anywhere and anytime is every time. Meaning everything which will ever happen is happening right now, which means that theoretically you would time travel, teleport or whatever other crazy dream you have.
Then again I’m probably just bored, making up shit and hungry.
Also going to mention something about the possibility of ghosts been just images of “a current life” meaning, a projection of what’s happing in the 18th century, but right now- err…yeah. Oh and a bunch of other shit.

Well it wasn’t that bad, in fact if I bothered the proposed website could well be functioning right now. This is the story of the website which was going to be made while trinest.com was in an incubator of a project site. What was shat out was a unimpressive, rushed website which dam well nearly killed those poor little Smurfs, anyway- this is that story. (I needed something long and boring to fill the character limit for the blurb on the front page….umm lol!)
Say you have an idea, well you wouldn’t because you’re hopeless, but for this once, let’s say you did. For once this idea has some merit, it could be functional, and you actually have the skills to produce this website, it’s not a wild dream website running on some extra-terrestrial CMS or something else like that. What it is when it comes down to it, is a simple blog, and all you had to really do was design the site to get it going.
Idea’s for designs are quite hard when you think about it, and really any small change can change the look and format of the site. For example trinest.com, this site (as of February 2010) uses a “lite” version of the original design I made for the site this year, as you can see the design feels totally different, just buy removing or changing a few DIV’s and using less hover effects or bazar CSS3 effects which Internet Explore thinks are hacking attempts into its primitive code.
There were a few ideas which I through around for the design, and I made a few of them too, but in the end I settled on one, good for me!
The design itself looks fine, it’s not ground breaking or extra-terrestrial, it’s a simple design which mimics a blog, and in fact could have been perfect with a few more DIV’s for various “features”, just to spark it up.
The sites premise was simple, instead of crazy news or reviews, or anything else gamers actually want to read when they go to a video game blog. It covered one thing and one thing only, interviews!
At the end of the day the simple fact was I looked at the design, thought I could do better (which is the truth) and then by the time that happened and I hadn’t even sent out any interview requests, my rush for building the site just went.
I think there is only one step here, and that is, make up a crazy idea, and then go nuts designing the site before taking it to the shits…
The site was called “The Chip Behind the Idea”, and was going to be updated weekly with various exclusive email interviews, (one interview per week) and if we had an epic back log, we could have a “update week”, well in theory it could still work, I just CGF atm.

It seems it’s obvious where the series Dexter is heading, at least- the TV version spun off from the books by Showtime. With the ending of Season 4 opening up possibly the end of Dexter, and rumours that Season 5 will be the last (and it should dam well be). Dexter’s demise is imminent.
The books will forever continue as long as the writer wants to write them, and have nothing to do with the TV series or anything else Showtime works on with the IP. The only thing keeping them together is the fact the TV show is loosely based on the original book.
Morals are the only thing which will destroy Dexter, for the simple fact if he doesn’t meet his maker by the end of the series, apparently society will break down. The fact of the matter is letting Dexter win, leads false impressions that doing what he does is right or some bullshit like that. So when the series is enlightened as a TV series, and in the public eye, the end result has to be that Dexter loses.
Something like a book however, could continue to be written for decades to come, and the simple fact here is, if the author decides that Dexter should die, things could be contradicted or “flash backs” or other creative licences which would just be bloody insane on the small screen.
On the second fact is that somehow Showtime is probably thinking of moving over from the small screen to the big screen, with rumours that there is a Dexter movie on the table. It’s quite possible that Showtime will either use the movie to kill Dexter off (or do it in the TV show and then have the movie as a separate direction).
Flowing around in my head, I thought of one of the possible outcomes of how Dexter would be dealt with when it happens.
Let’s picture this, Deb confronts Dexter early on in the season and Dexter pretty much reveals all. Sounds stupid that it would happen that way (which it probably won’t), but Deb is the kind of person who would take the whole dam season to struggle with why she should or shouldn’t turn in him in.
She obviously would take the little brats and look after them, or least help on certain days or something, now this is a no brainier on that happing, I doubt we will see Dexter just kill the kids, or leave them or something, but anything is possible.
Now either some other big bad serial killer or something else back lashing from the previous season will be out to get Dexter, but let’s use the possibility of Deb killing him.
She could set up the perfect alibi too, with the fact that later that night she would storm the house for a raid and have it so Dexter is killed when she gets in because, you know she is family and wants to talk to Dexter prior or something, iddno.
So that’s where she will kill Dexter, and have it in some badass ritual way like he would of done it, with all the victims and shit he’s killed around him- something really stupid like that would be awesome.
Then again, I’m probably just crazy as shit, the series won’t end like this- and if it did, dang.
