Gundam 00

Gundam 00 is currently the only TV show that I’m following with (a lot of) interest . On the outside it may look like a lame cross between Gundam Wing and Full Metal Panic! (I seriously dislike FMP) but it is actually pretty good.

The show takes place in an alternate timeline from other Gundams, our [...]

Warner Brothers dropped HD-DVD and went Blue-Ray only.  This is how things look now:

2007

2007 - What we have to show for it (besides Halo 3).

Game Of The Year 2007

For me, the game of year is without doubt:

Halo 3 (IGN Review)- the only truly epic game, complete with the best soundtrack I’ve heard so far in a video game.
Note that I wasn’t a Halo series fan. I thought Halo 1 was a mediocre game, Halo 2 was just “good”, mostly because of the energy [...]

LOLCODE

From Wikipedia:
LOLCODE is a humorous esoteric programming language heavily inspired by structures found in many common programing languages, as modified to be expressed via common terms, stylings and informal spellings found in Internet memes (primarily lolcats) and the communication style found in internet slang, instant messenger chat, and cellphone text messaging (”TXT” ;)

In no particular order:
Gladiator

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of The Sith

It’s completely unfair to put this movie on the list because it owes much of it’s greatness to all the other movies in the two trilogies but I can’t not mention Star Wars and this was the best of the six movies.
The Matrix

The Chronicles [...]

KHinsider is a website I just found for downloading (standard http) game and anime soundtracks as either normal mp3s or as ringtones (haven’t tried to download any ringtone though).
Unfortunately, in order to use the mass download feature you have to either post in the forums or refer the site to other people. So even if [...]

Halo 3 Review

Based on my experience with Halo 1 and Halo 2, I think the escapist’s review of Halo 3 is probably the most accurate one out there plus it’s probably the funniest.

In case you’re not familiar with it (and also because I wanted to leave the link on this blog so I can easily find it):

Max Payne 2

I played through Max Payne 2 (Gamespot Review, IGN Review) this weekend - yes I finished it in 3 days (from Friday night to Sunday night early Monday). It’s the best game I’ve played since FEAR. I have no idea why the hell I didn’t play it before since the game has been out for [...]

All the king requires is a simple offering of earth and water.

Jade Empire

Last week I was looking for a game to play (cuz STALKER ain’t an option - it’s one of the worst games I’ve ever played, second only to a playstation game that featured a little ninja dude in “2D rainbow world” jumping at gold coins which could be described as old school Sonic meets Ninja [...]
