Will Smith hits Dallas for "Seven Pounds" Premiere and Food Bank





Will Smith hit Dallas last night to promote his new movie "Seven Pounds" and food drive for a Dallas area food bank. He presented them with a $4000 check to help with Thanksgiving dinners. It was great event for his fans, some of whom were there all day to get a good spot on the red carpet. K104, KRNB, Dalllas Stars, Tom Joyner and wife, TD Jakes and the Texas Rangers were the other celebrities in attendance. It was pretty good turnout for a cold Tuesday night. Oh I also saw Marsha from Bridezilla who was very nice much different from how she was portrayed on TV, I actually touched her and didn't get my head handed to me. She smiled and took my greeting with grace.

New Gaming Trends for iPhone & XBOX LIVE



iPhone Games: iPhone has a gaming application Topple. A mix between classic games Jenga and Tetris, Topple challenges gamers to stack and balance a family of mischievous and dimorphic shapes using multi-touch controls to slide and rotate them into position. You will also find us tilting our iPhones in intense concentration while playing another one of our favorite new applications, Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, an adrenaline-pumping kart racing game that requires you to engage your inner speed racer as you navigate your way through various tracks and terrains, all the while battling countless opponents.



Xbox LIVE Community Games Channel: On November 19th, Xbox LIVE will launch its highly anticipated new forum for indie gamers, Community Games Channel. Allowing independent developers and DIY game designers alike to take their Xbox 360 creations public within a community space, the platform is similar to what YouTube is for filmmakers or MySpace is for musicians. Already gaining significant buzz in the gaming industry for its innovative content and seemingly endless potential, we have heard a lot of chatter surrounding UK puzzle game, Word Soup. Currently available (and quickly gaining a cult following) at pubs in the UK, the addictive and simplistic single or multiplayer word hunt game will be making its debut outside of UK pubs on the Community Games Channel

Favtape: Create and play an instant mixtape of songs




Favtape: Favtape is the latest in a line of successors to the now defunct Muxtape.

Users can even select songs from premade playlists ranging from the iTunes Top 100 to the top songs from a specific year. And as an added bonus, Favtape is supported on the iPhone so you can take your favorite mixes with you on the go.
