Ocean's Thirteen Review
2007-12-17 08:15:00
I just saw this movie a few days ago on DVD, so I give you a review. I have seen the previous two movies, Oceans Eleven and Oceans Twelve, and out of those I would say it is the worst. Now, in no way is it bad, it's just that the others were better. I think the guys behind it are running out of ideas, as it is vaguely similar to the first movie. The plot is that this man Mr. Band (played by Al Pacino) is opening an amazing new hotel/casino called The Bank. The theiving crew, led by Danny Ocean (played by George Clooney) plans to shut down the establishment. To do so, they planned to create a simulated earthquake, hoping to run everybody out. Well, to do the earthquake they need this drill, and to get the drill they need the help of the bad guy in the first movie (whom they rob of millions of dollars) to get the drill. In order for him to give the crew the drill, they need to steal a bunch of diamonds. It is a slightly confusing plot, just like the previous films. Overall a very fun...

Super Mario Galaxy DS?
2007-12-17 02:04:00
It is most likely going to happen. But a video was found that shows Super Mario Galaxy gameplay footage with a couple DSs playing it, and Luigi being a playable character. It seems logical, but the video is most likely a fake. Either way, how could Nintendo not put (acording to many reviewers) the greatest game ever on their portable gaming system. Unless of course Nintendo is tired of bathing in gold coins. The video is interesting either way, Enjoy :)Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

The Dark Knight Posters
2007-12-15 02:56:00
As some of you may know, the next Batman movie will be out in the Summer 2008. But this film follows the darker side of Batman, and is in itself not exactly a Batman movie. The Dark Knight is a comic book spin-off of Batman. The movie looks really cool, and just recently movie posters have leaked onto the internet. I can't wait for the movie, The Joker (played by Heath Ledger) looks awesome.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Get Windows For Free (Not Really)
2007-12-13 07:09:00
Well, as of yesterday you could get Windows Vista Ultimate (along with other Microsoft software) for free via Microsoft's invasion of privacy program. But today they apparently are not offering up the free stuff. To begin with, you could choose between softwares like: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, Microsoft Money Plus Premium, Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2008, and Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008. All you would have to fork over is your entire sense of privacy on your home computer for 3 months. Microsoft would be monitoring everything you do to "better understand how you use your computer and what your interests are". Seems fishy to me, but I was partly considering it, as I wouldn't mind having Office. But of course, I would just put the software on some old computer and play Solitare on it from time to time. Too bad they removed the opportunity, now no one will sign up.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Kongregate
2007-12-13 02:32:00
While browsing through my latest issue of PC Gamer, I cam across an article about Internet games, where they mentioned a website called Kongregate.com. I decided to try it out, and man am I glad. With a computer class and nothing to do in it, this site will certainly keep me occupied. It is an online games site on steroids. You can find just about any type of game, and pretty much any online game, as people and game companies can upload games as they please. That's good and all, but the thing that really stands out is the points and achievements system. Like Xbox Live games, if you complete a certain goal, you get achievements and points as well. These points are like experience in RPGs, you need so many each level, and when you get enough your level, or ranking, goes up. Very cool idea, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to play some awesome games without installing anything.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Playstation On Your iPhone
2007-12-12 07:06:00
Is your NES emulator for your iPhone seeming a little outdated? Do you desire more out of your touch screen games? Well you're in luck. A Sony Playstation emulator for the iPhone has been made. It seems like it would be a little bit awkward to play, as you can see in the picture. Also I'm not sure how the performance would be, but I would assume not too great, but most likely playable. As of now it's not available for download, and I'm not sure when, but you can probably expect a beta soon.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Collossal MP3 Player
2007-12-11 07:17:00
I found this quite funny. A few days ago at my local Wallgreens pharmacy I saw this "Collossal MP3 Player " for sale. And you can guess what it is. It is a giant MP3 player, about the size of 1 1/2 hard back books. It has 256mb of memory, and even has a screen. More often than not it is probably a joke gift. The thing that really surprised me is that these are all around the US. I thought it was just some lame joke thing that was maybe local to a certain area. But, sure enough, I found a blog post on it. Very funny. If you want to get some attention while jogging, or going to school/work, pop some headphones into this collossal device, and listen away.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Trick Your Zune
2007-12-10 07:52:00
As most of you (should) know, Zune s can share individual tracks with other Zunes via it's built in WiFi. When given a song, your Zune can only play the shared song 3 times. Well, with the Zune 2 and it's new podcast support there is a way around this lock. All you have do is pick a song you want to share and, on your PC, change the genre to podcasts. Apparently if you share podcasts there is no 3 listen rule, which makes sense seeing as podcasts are free. This is just a small little work around that will probably be patched fairly soon. Use it while you can.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Ubuntu On PS3
2007-12-10 02:08:00
I cam across this "How To..." article today that tells you how to put the Ubuntu 7.10 linux operating system on a PS3. I was unaware that you could do this, so I thought it was pretty cool. Aparently you just mess with the hard drive, install some software on a USB stick or memory card, and pop in a Ubuntu ISO image CD. Seems easy enough, and really useful if you don't happen to have a computer on hand if you take your PS3 to other places. Full instructions can be found here.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

CompUSA To Be Sold
2007-12-09 08:15:00
And the worst has come. A couple days ago I posted that CompUSA might be closing it's doors for good, and now it is official. Retail store liquidator Gordon Brothers Group has bought the computer store. Retail locations will remain open a month or so after the holidays, but after that I presume there will be little shipments coming in to your local store. Though, there is a good thing to come out of this; Insane holiday deals. CompUSA here I come.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Awesome Wii Mod
2007-12-08 08:03:00
This isn't as much a console mod as it is a decoration. The guys over at Crystalicing.com do all sorts of designs and decorations on all sorts of things. Most recently they did a Wii one, in the style of The Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess. It is very cool, with the Triforce symbol on one side, along Link and a wolf on the other. All of the little crystal things are 24 karat crystals. It doesn't say how much the thing costs, but you can count on not being able to afford it.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Next Gen Consoles Monthly Update #3
2007-12-07 00:20:00
Here is your monthly update on the sales of the Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation 3, and Microsoft Xbox 360 according to www.nexgenwars.com.Microsoft Xbox 360 - 12,731,661Sony Playstation 3 - 5,453,701Nintendo Wii - 13,177,495Like reports have shown, Nintendo's Wii has surpassed the 360 in sales. This is no surprise to me, with a $250 the Wii is much more appealing to parents, as well as kids on a budget. Though the Playstation 3 is catching up (very slowly I might ad), it looks to be a show down between the Wii and 360. Who will win? Find out in January to see who shelled out the sales over the holidays.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

But with great power comes a great price. To time travel with this sucker you will need $220.

CompUSA Going Out Of Business?
2007-12-06 01:51:00
If this rumor is true, then it will be sad. Supposedly the "Computer Superstore" CompUSA just might be going out of business early next year. Many things point to their demise, but there is still a chance that they will continue on. Some things that add to the plausability of the rumor are that CompUSA closed nearly half of their retail stores this year. As well as low revenue, and no restocking shipments scheduled past February. It is indeed fishy. I'm hoping for the best. I've always like the CompUSA near me. There are never any crowds like some other stores (Best Buy...), and they always have great deals, with everything having a rebate of some sort. Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Windows XP Service Pack 3
2007-12-03 03:19:00
Surprisingly (to me at least) Microsoft has been working on a new Service Pack for Windows XP. Along with many other bug fixes, and a few new features (I assume) there will be a nice speed boost implemented in the update. With SP3 your XP machine will run ~10% faster than it does now with SP2. Even more reasons not to upgrade to Windows Vista. Also, I heard from a caller on the podcast "Buzz Out Loud" that there just might be an even newer version of Windows to be released in Fall of 2008. Making Vista like Windows ME (which wasn't much of an upgrade, and did not sell well). Which is yet another reason not to get Vista. Poor Microsoft.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!

Star Wars Gamecube Mod

This is pretty cool. A while back someone built a mod for their Gamecube in the shape of an AT-AT from the Star Wars movies. It is very well done, the Gamecube was the perfect choice for the mod. It was up for sale on eBay earlier, but I think it has been sold already, or for some reason taken down from the site, because at the moment I can't go to it. This must have taken a while.

RIP Evel Knievel
2007-12-01 07:11:00
It was a sad day today. Probably one of the most famous, and certainly most daring stuntman of all time, Evel Knievel (age 69) passed away today. I was never a huge fan, as I was born after he did all of his amazing stunts. But I gotta give him credit. When he tried to jump over Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, he was set out to die. He crashed, breaking a bunch of bones, and wound up in a coma. But oh no, he lived on, and I think he kept doing stunts. That's a man with a passion. And I respect that. I know this has nothing to do with technology or anything, but I thought it as a worthy mention.Thank you for subscribing to my blog!
