The video game world descended upon LA this week, and thanks to our boy BC from Konami, we we’re able to get a sneak peak at what will be released soon, new games and where things are headed. If my interpretation of the future is correct, the real world and virtual world will be the same and robots will have taken us over. I could be wrong (although I think the robot thing will definitely be happening). Overall it was good to check out what’s going on in the video game industry and geek out on some new products that I might need in my life. Only thing that was a disappointment, Olivia Munn was nowhere to be found…

Looks like my next video game related purchase is going to have to be this Tony Hawk skateboard that will be available for the Wii, Playstation 3 and the XBox.

I remember when the Reebok Pumps came out and thinking that somehow pumping them up was going to help people jump higher. That clearly wasn’t the case. Now though, with these new Nike Flywire boots, it sounds as if footwear technology has developed to where it can realistically help you run faster. Interesting that some of the inspiration for this came from suspension bridges. I find the blending of technology, function and design interesting and I’m curious to see how technology continues to affect not only the performance of athletes, but how athletic gear is designed.
