Activision and Bungie sitting in a tree


Yes it makes me sick, but at least there are MUCH better off than they were sitting under the Microsoft skirt getting all green and rancid like Rare and Lionhead. That is to say, Bungie needs to be set free, because there's still life enough left in them for there to be games made that can change the...

Noticed this on Daily Planet today. MMMMMM, I never liked scrubbing anyway. Put this on my dishes and cookware and my life will be fabulous.

Plus I like that coating seeds with it makes them grow into healthier plants. This is good for reducing growth chemicals but also might allow plants to grow hardier in places where they might have had trouble before.

New Xbox 360 demo for Split / Second

I like. But it feels too dirty.. too heavy.. too slow. I can't compete with Burnout.

It feels like a Wii game with a budget big enough to put it on systems where it doesn't belong. Not for the simplistic game play that doesn't really appeal by itself. The appeal is only in that it does do...

i know.. it is blasphemy.. but even asa montrealer and member of a hockey fanatic family.. it never appealed to me as a sport, as entertinament on TV or in games.

but what with the winter olympics, and stanley cup playoffs all over TV recently.. I occurred to me to ask why it was that Japan hasn't produced a notable Hockey anime.

Doomed to...

Can Bungie rival Crytek? Epic and Valve

And I mean on PC platform specifically not just Xbox.

I mean I look at those kinds of pictures, and played the games (except ODST) and can'r help but wonder what they could have accomplished had Microsoft taken them and the Xbox 360 seriously. Reach is going to be nuts, they had me at Jetpacks.

happy earth day!

or rather release of Avatar bd day!


how to celebrate it thought when I want the 3D version? no point in owning it twice.. when I've seen it several times already.

the worse part is that since it was released there have been interesting things done in 3D that don't focus on the CG part being in 3D but do more for...

i dream of flying now and then, last night i dreampt of jumping into a flying vehicles and having fun, though under some duress trying to figure out the controls, what's yaw, pitch, roll, thrust, brakes etc on something that didn't have wings or rotors.

I'm not sure it was a helicopter though, something like an open top www.moller.com or that skateboard car in fantastic...

Inside the mind of Google (CNBC)

They take a look into what Google is, what it does, and what it all means for you and how you use it.


Ever since the beginning, sometime in 1998-1999 when my High School librarian evangelized Google (over Lycos, dog pile etc) I've wondered what the point of privacy online means when you consider repositories of it like Google....

so relating back to the post I made a couple of days ago, it would be very useful to have little displays up on walls versus paper that turns into litter.

I figure if they are glass walls with mounts for displays then they'd be safe from weather, and theft to a degree. As long as it is easy to clean the...

What would you called tennis or squash played inside a circle?

Some of the levels in Shatter are in circles and it is kinda hard to judge the bounce.. but if you were in the middle or edge along with another player, could you play tennis inside a circular court?

A couple of setups are both players being on a quarter of circle and they...

Another example of a game with enough visual splendor to awe you IF it allowed you to sit back and just watch it unfold during periods of downtime.

Granted exploring would be nice, I doubt that there will be too much in the way of reward for straying off the beat path to explore.

Between fights there should be more to do in the...

I don't know if it is the movie makers or the audiences that encourage them to make period pieces and movies set in the old days otherwise, but it seems odd when watching a film like An Education that they don't do much to make the present that they are filming in speak for itself too.

As a sort of double entendre.

I mean because...
