Microsoft will reveal a new Xbox One controller and other hardware at E3

We’ve heard a lot of talk about new hardware from the Big Three console manufacturers throughout the year, but have yet to actually see anything concrete from Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. With E3 just around the corner, you’d figure that the event would be the perfect place to officially reveal something to the world. If sources within Microsoft are correct, it’s possible that the Redmond giant will finally reveal some new hardware in June. Although it may not be a brand new console, we could be seeing other hardware announcements that should be interesting.

According to thurrott, we can expect to see a new standard Xbox One controller get announced. This controller won’t be radically different than the one that currently comes with the console, though. At most we’ll see a new color design, if there is even one at all. Reporter Brad Sams believes the controller could be white, but I believe that unless a new white Xbox One is also announced, that the controller will remain black. Read More

Throwing a Kid’s Birthday Party Adults Will Enjoy

Arranging a child’s birthday get-together doesn’t need to mean tossing a party that speaks to the kids – and feels like another dime-a-dozen weekend for dads and moms. Without a doubt, the parents ought to be compensated and celebrated, as well, for the diligent work of child rearing!

Here are her top tips for making a memorable children’s birthday party that grown-ups too will appreciate:

  • Ditch the licensed characters. Many kids go nuts for the characters from their favorite movies or shows.
  • Choose but don’t overuse the details. A theme for a kid’s birthday party doesn’t have to mean one idea repeated in every detail.
  • Broaden the guest list. “Don’t be afraid to celebrate your kids with your kid-free friends,”
  • Serve adult-friendly fare.”What would you serve the adults if they came without their children?” Granger-Twomey encourages hosts to ask themselves. “Think past the pizza, cupcakes, and juice boxes.”
  • Hire entertainment for the kids. If the budget allows, consider an entertainer — GamesOnTruck— to occupy the kids … and allow the parents a bit of hands-free time to enjoy the fete themselves with their friends.
  • Consider an evening affair. Of course, kids have early bedtimes, and that’s why their parties are traditionally around the lunch hour.

How To Throw a Minecraft Birthday Party

Ah, the Minecraft birthday party. What every little boy or girl is wanting this year, mine included. When presented with the idea of a Minecraft birthday party I was a little overwhelmed, truth be told, since I don’t pay attention to the games that Mr K plays, that job falls upon his Dad. Being the brilliant tech-minded guy that he is, Mike vetoes every game or website that the kids play and when I looked at Minecraft I was a little unimpressed, to say the least. I don’t really “get it. Read More

Staiano is an assistant professor at the Pediatric Obesity and Health Behavior Lab at Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University. She also co-authored the study, “Exergames for Physical Education Courses: Physical, Social, and Cognitive Benefits,” and gave a TED talk on the topic at LSU this year. Read More
