There is not one person who can say they have not played the game of Twister. It is a game that brings families and friends together…literally. You would never think that the game could be played on an Xbox360. Well, Twister is about to get a major makeover.

Majesco, who has had big hits such as Zumba Fitness and Cooking Mama, is bringing Twister to Xbox 360′s Kinect. However, it will be nothing like the actual game. There will be not mat and no spinner. So the question that comes to mind is, how do you play the game of Twister without the 2 most important pieces? ”This is using your full body as a game piece” said Christina Glorioso, Majesco’s chief marketing officer.

Twister Mania, the official name of the game for Kinect, will have 3 different modes, and 16 different ways to play the game. You can have up to 8 players at a time. The new version of the game brings so much more than just spin and contort. Twister Mania will be releasing sometime in November 1, 2011. Although Kinect games are becoming more and more popular, we will have to see how much success this will be. For $49.99, you will be able to enjoy the fun game of Twister Mania.

Dedicated to My Aunt Mary, Who Loved to tell stories. We have a lot of great news and a few fun stories in this show. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the episode as it is. I’ve been fighting through some nasty allergies the past couple of days so my voice isn’t as clear as I like it to be but the mind is still sharp. Lots of content stretching from my adventures cooking to the crazy contraptions some people would consider flying around. Stay tuned and stay caffeinated!

I needed to share this one quick little blip for you then set you back about your business. I often speak about tech on this blog and mention coffee as an after thought. But this once I wanted top address the Tea and Coffee acolytes of the CaffiNation. I personally love that coffee and tea are a mystical pair of beverages. They seem to have this otherworldly quality about them. They have the power to bring family and friends together under a common banner, they have the ability to calm and sooth the roughest morning and calm the stormy nights.

It is counterintuitive that caffeinated beverages seem to calm us all down, and at the same time rev us all up in the morning.  I had a great morning here in the CaffiNation Headquarters sharing family time with my son, and my wife. I wanted to share a happy thought and Hope your having a good weekend as wel. Enjoy the rest of your time with your family and have a mug for me.

I’ve been asked that question several times this morning. Already the hoards of now de-CaffiNation’d people are mounting an offensive offensive, breaking down my inbox.

Admittedly I haven’t missed a show in a long time, And this one will just be late. I usually post a note stating that fact beforehand, but yesterday was a marathon. Suffice it to say that between working on the house yesterday, all day. And running around to see every family member who still lives within 25 miles yesterday, I was tired. More so than any coffee, pill, or caffeine IV could fix. We ran from 6am – 8pm. Counting church, 4 houses 5 meals and one very cranky baby by the end of the day. There was no gas left in the tank. So I beg your pardon and understanding in this matter.

So By the end of today you should have your caffeinated fix for the early part of this week and as always we’ll be back on schedule for Wednesday. Again a  thousan pardons
