Still more PSP cheesery
If you, like I, bought a PSP back in March, you might be disappointed by the lack of games for it. I still only have the two that I got at launch, with exactly one more game that I want to play available (Metal Gear Ac!d, which I am saving for fall term at school--gotta stay awake in lectures somehow!). Of those two games, I have really played neither with any depth for the past two to three months or so.

Fortunately, this is not to say that my PSP has not seen regular play. Thanks to it, I have watched many an hour of serial drama on my way to work. In short, I do not in any way feel that I have not gotten my money's worth out of my new console. While I do feel kind of lacking that I don't have a DS and can't partake in some of the games over there, it's the same kind of lack that I feel at not having any other console. Or a Porsche. (Speaking of those, there must have been some kind of convention when we were at Lake Louise last weekend--like 30 of those babies of all models and colors in the parking lot and me without my Slim Jim. Le sigh.)

However, as Tycho mentioned in a recent Penny Arcade, the PSP has a far brighter future ahead of it in the form of homebrew. It combines the best elements of a sparse PC, media player and console, and is capable of far more all put together. Just this morning I saw links to a drum machine program and a VNC client that are being developed for Sony's little wonder. It gives me shivers to think of what we might have in a few years.

(The good kind of shivers, by the way.) (Also, both links via MakeBlog)  ¶ 7:45 p.m.
