Movie Day Posted on Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 by - Mark
Here are a couple of trailers I watched the other day and am excited to see. Righteous Kill. DeNiro and Pacino in a movie together can mean only one thing, it'll probably be a good movie. The last time these two were in a movie, that I can remember, was heat. Traitor. Don Cheadle really is a versatile actor, comedy, drama, and now action. This kind of movie is right up my alley, reminds me of Bourne Identity, which I loved.
Also, there is no official trailer release for RocknRolla, Guy Ritchie's new movie, so if it interests you do a quick search on google and check it out.
Last but not least, a not released yet trailer for Dark Knight.
Ben Hoffman of InfoMania put together a little video on the upcoming MMORPG? game named Spore. The video is actually pretty entertaining and not very long... and he sums up everything I was thinking this game would be.
This thing looks pretty slick, I def am game for a really tiny usb memory key... the only thing that sucks is the 1gb version starts at $19 bones. That's just too darn expensive. Just a few days ago I saw some 2 paper clip size usb keys at staples for like $9 bucks a pop.
Here's a little ditty on replacing the heat spreaders on the ram in your pc. I never did like that adhesive heatsink gunk, one time I was replacing a heatsink on my cpu and becuase it was so stuck on there, when I pulled the heatsink out the cpu chip came out stuck to the bottom of it... needless to say I was pretty surprised, luckily the cpu was ok.
QUOTE: "Welcome to another session of void-your-warranty, as today we will look at upgrading the stock heat spreaders on a pair of Kingston DDR2 memory modules. What we will do here is run through a step-by-step of removing the plain flat aluminum spreaders that come with most RAM modules and upgrading them with some Nexus HXR-550B Heat-Pipe memory coolers."
I have heard some good things about this game, when It comes out on PC I'll probably end up buying it.
TTGamer have today posted a review of The Bourne Conspiracy for the Xbox 360. While the wait for a Bourne game has been long, perhaps that is the reason why this is one movie game worth looking at.
Yesterday (Sunday), I spent pretty much the entire day working with smarty templates and a new all CSS design for Fragware. I ran into a few mysql query errors and what not and still have quite a ways to go, but when it's finished it should be a much better experience for you guys. Also, I'm working on adding a comments system to the daily news.
As of right now I'm at my fathers helping him take care of sealing the jam on a new basement door, so that's pretty much my day... the moms is making steak on the barby though so no complaints here.
Free stuff I'm feeling generous today so the next ten people that sign up to the forums and post a message in the intro sections I'll send out some MouseTape too. After you post I'll private message you for your address.
NGOHQ is working on getting Nvidia's PhysX GPU acceleration working on the ATI 3850 and 3870 video cards... Definitely makes me feel better about purchasing my 3870 a few weeks ago for what the 4850 is going for now. No more Upper hand Nvidia, suck it!
I woke up to some great news this morning... Diablo 3. I have always been a fan of the Diablo series, ever since the first one. I am an interesting man though, even though I like Diablo, I don't really care for other MMO games. I played WoW a few times but it just never took hold like Diablo did. If I had to pick a reason it would probably be the gore. I like gore. Call me a sicko or what you will, I prefer blood and guts over cartooney games, hence I don't own a Wii and never purchased a product made by Nintendo in all my life.
But I digest, If you're a fan, definitely check out the 20 minutes of gameplay action below, and also check the Diablo 3 website just for the mere fact that the design of the webpage is pretty slick.
I just found out that Battlefield Bad Company isn't going to be ported to the pc, wtf... that's kind of a jip especially seeing how all the earlier battlefields were all on the PC platform. Way to go Dice. I guess if I really wanted to I could go and spend $350 for an xbox360, pay another $50 for the game, tack on $5 bucks a month for live (which is just a base price), and get to play Bad Company using a stupid xbox360 controller that I wished was a keyboard and mouse.
No thanks. I think I'll just play more COD4, too bad though because the sound effects in Bad Company are amazing.
PC gaming will live forever, to me the 360 is just a fad.
A week ago I picked up a copy of call of duty 4 and have been pretty much hooked on multi-play for the past few days. With the new leveling feature in call of duty 4, you can unlock features and weapons in multi-player mode by gaining XP points from kills, match wins and the like.
One way I found to level up fairly quickly was to play on Free For All servers because you can rack up kills real quick and it would generally take 2 rounds to level up 1 rank. Give it a whirl and let me know how it works out for you.
Madshrimps posted a review of an In-Win B2 Stealth Bomber ATX Case which unfortunately does not include any pictures of women showing off their boobs, but TechARP can get you the goods you seek, and no, looking is not Cheating.
Supreme Court Declares That the Second Amendment Guarantees an Individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms Thursday, June 26, 2008
Fairfax, VA - Leaders of the National Rifle Association (NRA) praised the Supreme Court's historic ruling overturning Washington, D.C.'s ban on handguns and on self-defense in the home, in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller.
"This is a great moment in American history. It vindicates individual Americans all over this country who have always known that this is their freedom worth protecting," declared NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. "Our founding fathers wrote and intended the Second Amendment to be an individual right. The Supreme Court has now acknowledged it. The Second Amendment as an individual right now becomes a real permanent part of American Constitutional law."
Last year, the District of Columbia appealed a Court of Appeals ruling affirming that the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms, and that the District's bans on handguns, carrying firearms within the home and possession of functional firearms for self-defense violate that fundamental right.
"Anti-gun politicians can no longer deny that the Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right," said NRA chief lobbyist Chris W. Cox. "All law-abiding Americans have a fundamental, God-given right to defend themselves in their homes. Washington, D.C. must now respect that right."
It just doesn't get any more clear than that... today is a great day for americans, especially those in DC. I applied for a pistol permit here in Upstate NY oh about... 9 months ago and I'm still dealing with red tape and paperwork, New York sucks balls.
This mouse looks pretty ridiculous... this is what happens when people who know nothing about gaming make peripherals.
FPS, or first person shooter, is the most popular genre of PC games. No console controller has surpassed the mouse as the weapon of choice among FPS enthusiasts. Zalman, a company known as a maker of coolers, is trying to woo FPS players with a gun shaped mouse, the FG1000. Since we are card carrying fans of the genre, we tested the new toy. Let the (digital) bullets fly.
ATI's All-In-Wonder cards might have been killed off in 2006, but they are being brought back to life now in the form of the All-In-Wonder HD. The new card is based on the Radeon HD 3650, offers all of the benefits of the TV Wonder series and is priced at $199.
