Notice anything different in the picture? No? That&#8217;s because Project P.E.W. doesn&#8217;t change or add&#8230;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been less than a week since Bethesda Softworks released the <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/02/08/skyrim-creation-kit/">Skyrim Creation Kit</a> but their goodwill has already paid off. Why do I say that? Because of Project P.E.W., a mod by YouTuber birgirpall.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-83927" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/project-pew-skyrim-mod-by-birgirpall.jpg" alt="project pew skyrim mod by birgirpall" width="600" height="374" title="project pew skyrim mod by birgirpall photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-83926"></span>Notice anything different in the picture? No? That&#8217;s because Project P.E.W. doesn&#8217;t change or add anything to Skyim&#8217;s visual element. I won&#8217;t say anymore; one word is enough to spoil the awesomeness of this mod, so I suggest you turn your speakers up and play the video below:</p>
<p><iframe width="620" height="379" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/U48uDLQ2_fs?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>I guess<em> &#8220;Starring Morgan Freeman&#8221;</em> is the new Rickroll. PC gamers can head to <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=10609">Steam Workshop</a> and click on &#8220;Subscribe&#8221; to get the Project P.E.W. mod. Console users will have to make the sound effect on their own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aside from graphics, video game sound effects have gotten more complex over time as well. But does that mean that they have gotten better? What if the sound designers back then had access to the technology we have today? YouTube user virtjk made such an experiment, and he went after the Holy Grail of video games: <em>Super Mario Brothers</em>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51138" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/super-mario-bros-with-modern-sounds.jpg" alt="super mario bros with modern sounds" width="600" height="448" title="super mario bros with modern sounds photo" /></p>
<p>Obviously that screenshot tells you nothing, so here&#8217;s virtjk&#8217;s video:</p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/03/09/super-mario-bros-modern-sound-effects/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>That was&#8230; weird, to say the least. I found the disparity between the graphics and the sounds too distracting. Maybe if virtjk had also used a lesser known game I wouldn&#8217;t have been so put off. But it was hilarious and creative enough that it helped him get a job at Volition, developer of <em>Descent</em>, <em>Saints Row</em> and <em>Red Faction</em>, among other games. Good for him. He says he&#8217;s working on <em>Pac-Man</em> and <em>Tetris</em> next. If I had his skills I&#8217;d work on <em>Pong</em> and use the grunts and yelps of tennis players.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Having a bad morning? That&#8217;s no reason to should suffer alone! And what better way to pass on that a.m. headache than by adding kickin&#8217; sound effects to your lurching gait?<img class="size-full wp-image-5953 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tc-gundam-sl1.jpg" alt="tc gundam sl1" width="520" height="275" title="tc gundam sl1 photo" /></p>
<p>These squashy slippers sound off with the crash of earth-shredding stompy robotics with every step, turning a previously-mundane trip to the coffee machine into an epic journey of destruction.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5977 aligncenter" title="gundam_slippers_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/gundam_slippers_3.jpg" alt="gundam slippers 3" width="520" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If there&#8217;s a better way to start the week, it doesn&#8217;t come to mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5954 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/tc-gundam-sl2.jpg" alt="tc gundam sl2" width="520" height="318" title="tc gundam sl2 photo" /></p>
<p>At $39.99, these babies may be a little pricey for in-house wear, but what price glee? At least it&#8217;s cheaper than a <em>real</em> mobile suit.</p>
