Last week’s episode of Raw was absolutely great (I gave it an 8.5, though my comments didn’t make the Torch cut). As for this week, all I have to say is… HUH?! Just about everything derailed. Foley and Edge… a team, especially after the WrestleMania hardcore bloodbath? And the door that seemed to be opened for a DX reunion seems obviously shut now, with Triple H’s apparent save turning into an ambush on John Cena - and not even giving much of a look to the whipped and welted Shawn Michaels. And Vince… please, get a room!…

During TV ads for the June 25 Vengeance in Charlotte, N.C. in the Charlotte market tonight, the add plugged a “DX Reunion”…

This was a more interesting edition of Raw than in most weeks. I didn’t see Mick Foley’s heel turn coming. It was the first real good shocker of the year besides Rey Mysterio winning the Royal Rumble. Who was the blonde that came out at the end of the Mickie-Maria match? I still hate the Spirit Squad. Kane vs. Big Show still proves that they are the two slowest men in the WWE today. May 19th. There I said it! Degeneration X is still a bad idea…

Gamespot’s Inside E3 blog points out that Sony didn’t steal their motion-sensing PS3 controller from Nintendo-they stole it from Microsoft and Logitech:

They didn’t steal from Nintendo. They actually stole from Microsoft (and Logitech). The picture you’re looking at here [follow link to see pic] is a picture I took of gyroscopic, motion sensing controllers that Logitech and Microsoft manufactured for the PC in 1999. Yes, 1999 as in more than seven years ago.

…I just wanted to point out that this idea was soooo 20th century, and immediately flamed out on the PC because they were honestly more of a novelty than they were practical.

Of course, that would imply Nintendo stole their novel and impractical- exscuse me-innovative idea as well.

RVD and Cena had a staredown on the entrance ramp. Foreshadowing… RVD said he had something to say. He said the way everything went down with Joey Styles was “a bunch of crap.” His mic was not cut. He agreed with what Joey had to say. “ECW” chant. Joey told the fans to chant “E-C-W” instead of “R-V-D” tonight.

According to Sony’s latest press release, the new PlayStation 3 controller — or the ‘DualShake’ — will not feature DualShock (vibration) support. It should be noted that the Wii controller will vibrate rumble. Here’s the official explanation:

“Pursuant to the introduction of this new six-axis sensing system, the vibration feature that is currently available on DUALSHOCK and DUALSHOCK 2 controllers for PlayStation and PlayStation 2, will be removed from the new PS3 controller as vibration itself interferes with information detected by the sensor.”

Might we also add that this is a convenient way for Sony to distance itself from the troubles surrounding the DualShock technology?
