Audi R8 V12 With LED Lights, Wii Sports the Best Selling Game Ever?!
So, after my last blog post i watched 'The Bourne Identity' and ate some food. Shortly after i finished eating, Emily's and Aldric's dad came over to pick up our old table, so that we can replace it with our new table that we got in the summertime from The Brick. After we finished assembling the table, it was about 5:45 p.m. and church started at 5:30 p.m., so we missed some of mass already. So, we left as fast as we could and stayed at church until it was over, which was around 6:20 p.m. We went home and i had to cut up and fold all of the boxes, since tomorrow is when the people pick up our recycling. Right now, i'm just trying to kill some time until my girlfriend get's to her residence, since everyone has school tomorrow, except for a select few. Man, i don't want to go to school tomorrow, but i have to, which sucks. But, oh well, it's not like it's a big deal anyway. In February though, is where my real challenge will start. English, Calculus and Physics in one semester, oh God. I have to focus. My first semester this year, has actually been my best semester, since Grade 8, which is a very good sign. I'm quite dedicated this year, since next year i have to go to University, so i have to get prepared for that. And, i've got to smarten up for my future, i'm trying to get my life together now, it's a good thing. Anyways, let's continue with some talk about the Audi R8 and, the game, Wii Sports.
Besides looking sexy, the Audi R8 looks to be the first to take a huge step in the right direction. When i say huge, i mean giant. Every light on or inside the car is LED. "Headlights, running lights, turn signals - you name it there's an LED shining bright inside. And not just shining but 'smartly' shining and adapting to the driver's needs." Trust me, this is more amazing than you realize. Dr. Wolfgang Huhn, Head of the Light and Visibility Department at Audi says that future generations of headlights will react to certain weather conditions and that they are striving to create 'intelligent' headlights and taillights for the driver's safety and comfort. He also mentions that they are developing high beam lights that are bright, but also do not distract or blind the other drivers. They will do this by using "a variable distribution of light: An electronic system [that] continuously calculates the distance to any approaching vehicles to ensure that the road ahead is ideally illuminated at all times - without irritating oncoming drivers." Talk about a technological advancement. My mom always complains when someone high beams are blinding her, but i don't blame her. Those things are hard to look into and can even cause an unnecessary accident. Good job Audi, keeping all of us safe. Hopefully, they don't just install these lights in high-end luxury cars or else, it's not going to make that much of a difference.
Wii Sports may now be the best selling game of all time. Yes, all time. Gaming history here, ladies and gentlemen. The previous leader's, Super Mario Brothers, 40.24 million mark may have been surpassed, just recently. I actually was unaware that more than 40 million Wii's have been sold worldwide and that it amazing. Maybe that's why Mr. Wii Kid in my last post was so crazy, he probably played Wii Sports later, that same night. I can't lie, Nintendo, you are just smashing records left and right. Maybe, i don't give the Wii enough credit, but i have to tip my hat to this accomplishment. Congratulations, Nintendo, you win. Just don't brag too much.
