			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In even more game localization news, the atmospheric adventure <em>Fragile</em> is set for release outside Japan. The moody title follows Seto, a young boy traversing a ruined world in search of other people&#8211;any other people. Certainly a darker theme than the anime-inspired visuals might at first evoke, but <em>Fragile</em> is painted in dark strokes that suit the story&#8217;s underlying despair.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13921" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tb-fragwiiloc1.jpg" alt="tb fragwiiloc1" width="520" height="256" title="tb fragwiiloc1 photo" /></p>
<p>The developers revealed, before the game&#8217;s release in Japan, that a great deal of effort and money went into polishing <em>Fragile</em>, so it isn&#8217;t altogether surprising the title is being given a chance to recoup more of that expense. But whatever the reason, gamers outside of Japan are the ones who&#8217;ll benefit here.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13922" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tb-frag2iiloc2.jpg" alt="tb frag2iiloc2" width="520" height="364" title="tb frag2iiloc2 photo" /></p>
<p>There are even rumors of a Japanese language track in addition to full English voice acting, a much-desired yet rare option for many games. But even without the original voice acting, <em>Fragile</em> will be a game to watch (and, uh, <em>play</em>).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After he made himself a delicious omelet (I made that part up), Modder Gomhi managed to turn a couple of brown chicken eggs into a pair of miniature speakers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13700 aligncenter" title="eggshell_speakers" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/eggshell_speakers.jpg" alt="eggshell speakers" width="520" height="428" /></p>
<p>Each one is loaded with a tiny 1-inch diameter <a href="http://www.amazon.com/HiVi-B1S-Shielded-Aluminum-Tweeter/dp/B0002M77O8">Hi-Vi B1S driver</a>. While Gomhi says the sound they produce is &#8220;narrow&#8221; (I&#8217;m assuming he means &#8220;tinny&#8221;), he&#8217;s still pleased with the result of his handywork. I&#8217;m still not sure how he managed to cut open the eggs so precisely, nor how he crammed the speaker elements in without shattering the shells.</p>
<p>Me, I think I&#8217;ll take a dozen eggs and make myself an 11.1 egg-based surround sound system for my home theater.</p>
