It's a fact! Play too many violent videogames and colonel sausage will be shooting sticky white ammunition without the protection of his magic tin hat all over town. That's according to a study published in US journal The Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, which concluded that gaming nasties foster "permissive attitudes toward violence, alcohol use, marijuana use, and sexual activity without condom use".
Which sounds like a pretty run-on-the-mill Friday night to us. However, the study, conducted by researchers in San Francisco and Pittsburgh, and entitled "Effects of Media Violence on Health-Related Outcomes Among Young Men", used 100 males aged between 18 and 21, randomly assigning them to play either Grand Theft Auto III or The Simpsons: Hit and Run (which is, frankly, just mean).
It seems that those participants forced to bathe in the unholy perversions of GTA III "exhibited greater increases in diastolic blood pressure from a baseline rest period to game play, greater negative affect, more permissive attitudes toward using alcohol and marijuana, and more uncooperative behavior in comparison with men randomly assigned to play The Simpsons". Although the scientific methodology is unclear, we'd like to imagine it involved surreptitiously sidling up to participants mid-game and whispering "I could really do with a spliff and a beer right now - how about you?".
Anyway, the report reached the conclusion that "although youth growing up in violent homes and communities may become more physiologically aroused by media violence exposure, all youth appear to be at risk for potentially negative outcomes."
Interestingly, the wholly conclusive findings of this report have made us so angry at game developers, we're off to go punch someone in the face. Next up: "Effects of Academic Studies concerning Media Violence on Health-Related Outcomes Among Young Men".

Die-hard Gun fans with itchy trigger fingers can scratch their worries away now that Activision’s revealed more information on the game’s release on PSP. The first-person shooter, which should trot into stores this fall, will be developed by Neversoft and UK-based Rebellion Studios and will feature PSP-exclusive features like extra missions, a quick play mode, and multiplayer modes (although we're unsure if GameSpot implied "modes" to mean both Ad-hoc and Infrastructure).
Gun didn’t fire off blanks when it debuted last year on all major consoles and PC, but as with all ports, we’re still hoping that the retooled control scheme and graphical scale-back don’t cripple this pony on the PSP.

Many of you will know i used to have an Interview site with Great Interviews with Coders from many Homebrew Scenes.
Well with that in mind, im going to try something unique and whilst it may fail  it is something that ive never seen done before and thats a mass interview of all the members and thats 40,000 + members  , whats going to happen is that ill ask maybe 10- 12 questions, one a day over a 2 week period to see who we are and what we love about emulation and homebrew.
So to start the ball rolling (remember never give personal info out unless you feel safe doing so) ill ask a question and answer it myself then its over to you the members of the only Console Homebrew Network in the world.
Question #1 - Can you tell us about yourself, where you're from, and about your job, school, etc?
(yes easy one to start but it lets people know about you)
Well im the webmaster of a group of sites now totalling 18 (mad git), ive been a fan and more of emulation and homebrew since at least 1997.
I am from the city of Nottingham in the UK, famous for Robin Hood, Torvill and Dean and Nottingham Forest and sadly Gun Crime capital of the UK (it seems that way anyway).
Went to school at 2 sites in probably the roughest part of the city but on the whole enjoyed school but was glad to be rid of it .
For my job ive been a Gardener on an award winning park for nearon 18 years (i am 34 btw) and whilst i enjoy my job i cant see me doing it for years to come.
So thats my answers, feel free to join in this experiment of a mass interview on the DCEmu Network, answer via the comments.

Moonlight from PS2Dev has released NO-KXploit Patcher for 1.50 PSPs, heres the info:
This program will patch the firmware 1.50 (in RAM) to allow it to run normal pbp's.
The patch will remain resident in the firmware until one of these conditions happen:
1) A program crashes the psp, forcing you to do 2.
2) You restart your psp holding the power button or remove the battery.
You can run/exit games/homebrews, put the psp in sleep mode... none of those things will delete the patch from RAM.
I don't know if someone will find this useful since most current homebrews are kxploited, but it's a solution to having 2 folders, hiding icons... and all those annoying things.
It's also an example of a program that remains resident surviving sceKernelLoadExec, sceKernelExitGame, maybe someone finds that useful (there is a part of the code that it's executed with no firmware in RAM  , some cool things could be done with that)

Tamako Kondo says 10 minutes of exercise every morning keeps her fit.
But the 80-year-old doesn't hit the treadmill or take aerobics classes. Instead, she sits at a desk, pencil in hand, and tackles simple arithmetic and other quizzes, part of a "brain training" programme that has taken Japan by storm.
Bookshops now have separate sections for workbooks with the exercises and video game versions are selling like hot cakes among the growing ranks of older Japanese who hope the drills will reinvigorate their grey matter.
"I want to delay becoming senile as much as possible," said Kondo, who lives in a Tokyo home for the elderly. "I know someone who gets things that happened recently mixed up with tales from the war days. I don't want to become like that," added Kondo, after attending a weekly "Healthy Brain Class" course run by the Shinagawa ward in Tokyo. At the class, 30 students -- all over 70 -- perform the drills for half-an-hour once a week and are given more exercises to work on at home, every day for six months.
Scientists say a daily dose of such exercises improves the memory and even the condition of dementia patients. "I wanted to make a contribution to society through my findings, to tell the world that you can train the brain," said Ryuta Kawashima, professor of brain science at Tohoku University, whose theory has been featured in many books and video games. "But I didn't think it would become this big."
BRAIN TRAIN GAMES
For video game makers eager to expand their clientele beyond youths as the number of children dwindles in Japan's rapidly ageing society, software featuring Kawashima's brain-training programme has proved to be a huge success. Nintendo has sold a combined total of more than 3.3 million of its "Brain Training for Adults" released in May 2005 and a sequel that came out last December. Its portable DS consoles on which the games are played are constantly out of stock in shops.
"We see people who may have been to our store, but probably never to the video game section, come and buy them," said a sales clerk at the game section of a major electronics shop in Tokyo. Nintendo also said about a third of those who bought the games were 35 or older. "We wanted to reach out to those who were not interested in video games ... But we did not expect such success," said Ken Toyoda, a Nintendo spokesman.
"We were able to ride the 'brain craze'."
Rival Sony Computer Entertainment, which has the "Brain Trainer" using Kawashima's theory for its PlayStation Portable console, is holding "Video Game Workshops for Grown-ups", in a bid to appeal to older generations. At one workshop on a Saturday afternoon, 15 participants, aged between 30 and 63, listened intently as a 63-year-old instructor took them step-by-step through how to play games, including the "Brain Trainer", on the PSP. Sachiko Kumagai, who had come to check out the brain-training game, was impressed after the 90-minute class.
"My forgetfulness really got bad after I turned 50 ... With this, you can see the results right away, so it's handy," said the 55-year-old who works for a local government office. The players are given grades on their performance on the PSP game, while on the Nintendo version, they are given their "brain age", ranging from the optimal 20 to 80, the worst.
ELEVATE INNER SELF
Other toys and puzzles seen as stimulating the brain have also benefited from the boom.
Sales of Rubik's cube, the famous cube-shaped puzzle, increased by fivefold last year in Japan to around 500,000. "The brain-training phenomenon has had an effect ... We purposely put 'IQ' on the package so that it would appeal to grown-ups," said Kazuo Usui, a marketing official at Megahouse Corp, which sells the puzzles in Japan.
Those involved in the phenomenon agree that the interest in brain training comes from a desire to minimise the inevitable effects of ageing among Japan's greying population, but cited differing reasons for it becoming a national obsession.
Nearly one in five Japanese is aged 65 or older and the ratio is expected to rise to one in four over the next decade due to a rock-bottom birth rate and improved longevity.
Brain scientist Kawashima said people were fed up with materialism and were eager to seek other means of fulfilment.
"There is the issue of ageing society, but more than that, I think people want to train and elevate their inner self."
Nintendo's Toyoda said it was part of a health-conscience craze which has been around for years now. "Health consciousness is branching out ... It's a trend."

Bloody hell these mods are coming thick and fast, heres the news thanks to PSPSMM
Release from LNAtropic :
Thank you for downloading Chocobo Complete!
I'm pretty sure all of your are Final Fantasy Fans. Unfortunately we can only play one character.. one char came to mind, Chocobo.
I tried to make it as a good quality mod as possible. Although the song is slow and kinda weird, I'm still looking for someone who would like to distribute a .mod song. I'd greatly appreciate it, and I'll be sure to add that person to the credit list. I hope you all enjoy!
Update v1.1:
-From Final Fantasy 7, I added a 'ChocoboDen' folder inside the GFX folder where it contains all the Chocobo's from Final Fantasy 7, except The ''Gold Chocobo'' >=). Anyways, you'll be able to choose which favorite Chocobo you'd like to play as!
