Do you have an HDTV (or monitor) and bluray?

It occurs to me that besides missing bluray games on PC, there's this itch I've noticed to get an encyclopedia.. on bluray.

Maybe it's a part of getting old, or maybe I'm just dispassionate about google/wikipedia, but BBC,NHK,DiscoveryHD maybe they should collaborate on an HD video encyclopedia.

Like which is that last real encyclopedia made and...

Yeah the two that have me @.@ right now are How the Earth Made Us, which is a bit heavy in the we're destroying the earth and this is how, way but it is mind blowingly awesome.

I was sitting there watching it going WOW throughout.

The other is Wonders of the Solar System. Gives you so much food for thought.

There's also one about the internet revolution.. might as well finish that one too :}

Watching the BBC production How Earth Made Us,

enjoyable given all the stuff I'm learning. But I wonder..

I'm trying to get to work on building a prototype for a game that covers some of the stuff from games you're probably never going to see again, SimCity, Spore, Rise of Nations, Transport Tycoon, Railroad Tycoon, all bundled in one.

All because the studios that made...

Lara Croft

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lara_Croft

But everyone knows her. Her voice, from the original game and her likeness, in Angelina or Alison Caroll, aka her Yumminess

I find it odd that they'd (Crystal Dynamix, Eidos, Square Enix) drop TombRaider from the title of the game.

What does that make Lara now? just an Adventurer?

Anyway, I found myself rummaging my Abby Winters folder when I happened across...

Yes!

Geek attack:

Yes, plants are multicellular organisms just like animals/humans, but they differ in that they contain cholorplasts in which their cell walls contain cellulose and have no locomotion so they do have "junk" DNA. There is research called genetic engineering of crops and plants that is conducted.

wow.

I might have been saying some things about how I was planning to drop Spartacus because it was going the same way as all other shows, killing hope of anything like a happy ending.

Obviously it couldn't go that way so any pretense of the like was beyond foolish. Yet the out of control train wreck that it became a few episodes simply doesn't...

Ah House...

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Your dad and your girlfriend are fuck-buddies. But don't cry about it, talk it out.



This episode is a bit depressing since it seems like the characters are like not trying hard enough anymore, or don't have the same impact, or are just getting old.

Like my gpu drivers have a conniption when playing back mkv files so the...

District 9 revisited

So I watched D9 again recently and got much more out of it than the first few times. Don't know if it is fair to attribute this to seeing it in HD versus the many previous SD screenings, but maybe I was just paying attention more this time.

I wonder about the lack of officers.. firstly, but then I just wonder about...

Ah but first some context:

Studio tour of Bizarre creations working on their new IP Blur.

I like to think that my post sent to them once upon a time inspired the name of the game at least, and the focus on power ups.. but not like this.. god no.. not like this at all. Nintendo should sue.

I wonder about a potential content delivery system that works like the stock market/investing.

If a group or person wanted to make a song, movie or video game, people who cared would contribute 1$. If the group got a certain amount, enough to get them started, they could set the amount, say 20K, as a starting point, when reached they'd make the song public.

Later...

Interesting concept.. after the ballad of gay tony (haven't bothered playing it), a GTA game set in Vegas actually would be fun.

Let it idle and it'll play some more related videos. It even seems like GTA/Saints Row/Mass Effect.. but fun. Reminds me of that old playboy mansion game. As Heffner you'd have to throw parties to keep your empire thriving. That game was...

Star Craft II
[Why!?]

It's like, in the last decade so much has evolved in the realm of RTS that Starcraft 2 comes along as some titanosaurus... to do what? Make a thunderous noise and then what? People are going to go gaga over it, I mean it is fun.. as time wasting goes.. but nothing has changed, the experience isn't new especially if you...

The Joneses [trailer on iTunes]

I think it was The Truman show that might have planted the seed, but otherwise I can't be sure where it might have started.. I've been thinking about this kind of movie for ages.

It's almost as if this movie has been floating around in our minds for ages. Like ever wonder why some people go hognuts for new stuff...

Blog about not being surprised AT ALL

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-484529.aspx

http://www.gamestooge.com/2010/03/02/heavy-rain-naked-madison-glitch/ [better link]

Not moments after Activision made noise about not letting stuff like this happen. (meaning as a publisher, unrelated to Heavy Rain, they don't want anything like this happening in their games)

Leaves me frustrated though as I doubt that this will become big news like Mass Effects lack of nudity.. or explicit sex. Like...
