The Totally Rad Show heads to Texas for ROGCon this weekend!

August 5th, 2008 at 03:01 by Ron Richards in Live Events

The Totally Rad Show team will be down in Dallas this weekend to attend the Republic of Gamers Conference. At most gaming conventions the controllers spend more time in the hands of professionals rather than guys like you or me. Over the last decade the emergence of elite gamers has really helped to propell the industry to new heights but alienated the players who ultimately support the industry….This is not the case at ROGCon which is open to everyone and focused on creating a HUGE public LAN party where the public to decides which games are part of the competitions and compete to win computers and other big prizes. Beyond being able to play the games, all of the big dogs on the industry will be there showing off the latest hardware and software, much of which has not even hit the market yet. Best of all, registration is FREE!

The TRS team is really excited to headed down to an event that is focused on the gamer and what gamers are interested in most: actually getting to play video games. Big thanks to ASUS and Intel for putting on the event…..we hope to see you there!

Internet Television Leader Revision3 Announces Interest in Science and Stuff

April 1st, 2008 at 12:01 by Jeff Rizzo in Press Releases

San Francisco, CA — Revision3 Corporation, the TV Network for the Internet generation, has announced today that they will be participating in breakthrough experiments to do science and other cool stuff.

“Here at Revision3, we have always taken a keen interest in science, and all the great stuff it’s given us over the years- everything from these cool computers we use for making our videos, to its vaunted ability to blind Thomas Dolby,” says Revision3 CTO Jeff Rizzo. “We wanted to find a way to give back to a scientific community that has given us so much occasionally-useful crap.”

When the technical department of Revision3 heard of the groundbreaking research of the Brain Information Group of the Kansai Advanced Research Center in Japan into the effects of wearing perception-altering goggles for extended periods of time, Rizzo knew that they had an opportunity to contribute to Science. “Since we have videos, people have to see them in order to view, and by altering our videos, we’ve altered people’s perception of these videos. We can clearly do good science, except for the whole part about having degrees, and laboratories, and scientific training. This science thing is neat!” Look around the Revision3 Website today, particularly the videos, for clues how you can participate.

What does the future hold for this new “Science and Stuff” initiative at the pioneering company? Rizzo says, “The Koreans have some pretty advanced glow-in-the-dark cat technology that we could conceivably extend to provide some interesting mods for Systm, for example. The world is our oyster, and we at Revision3 have never let little things like training or talent stand in the way of getting what we want.”
