I just want to let the people out there know that things are starting to turn around again and there will be new material. I finally got a new computer and just getting all the software/hardware setup again and things are finally stable! I think the years of searching for a working, stable environment is here. Woo Hah “Eric Giler wants to untangle our wired lives with cable-free electric power. Here, he covers what this sci-fi tech offers, and demos MIT’s breakthrough version, WiTricity — a near-to-market invention that may soon recharge your cell phone, car, pacemaker.” Whoa.
Rez HD is one of my favorite games of all time. It was originally released on the Dreamcast and the game was ported to PS2 as well. The game is a on-rail shooter which is very familar to Star Fox 64 single player. Combine that gameplay with trippy visuals, cool themes and electronic dance music and we have a winner. I didn’t truly get to enjoy this game until it was remade into HD and released on Xbox Live where I finally bought a copy. I think a lot people don’t know about this game and its a shame as it’s one of the better ones out there. I highly recommend it. So I guess Michael is finally and forever lost in Wonderland. I didn’t become really aware of Wonderland until about 2000-2001 when a game called America McGee’s Alice was released and I got a copy. The game took the original story and made it into a horror flick that was completely twisted.  America McGee's Alice I loved it though I lost or gave the game away years ago. Felt the need to give the game another try recently. That’s exactly what I have been doing and visually it holds up well but some of the gameplay is painfully boring to play. Good thing I’m interested how this game will end (I totally forget) or I wouldn’t play the game. So why the sudden interest in Wonderland again? I came across some release pictures of a new Tim Burton movie and his take on Alice and I actually can’t wait to see this movie. A rare thing for me these days.
As you can see that this movie is going to twisted and not so fluffy happy, which makes me happy. That above is Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. How awesome is that?
Other bits I’ve read that this movie will be in 3D, real life action and animation. Not sure if all this will be a good product at the end but the very little they have released I would like to think so. I did see Disney’s “Up” in 3D and to be honest the 3D in the movie was kinda just lame. Yeah there was depth to the view but it didn’t make you feel like it was in 3D because after 5 minutes nothing was standing out at you. It was like last minute thing to add.
I hope I’ve spark some interest in you for Wonderland and bored you mentioning Up. The few released pictures of the 2010 movie looks good so far and I’ll be keeping a close eye on any new details as they come. SF *Update 06.19.10 – I saw this movie now a month or two ago and what a disappointment. I was hoping it was going to be similar to the video game mature tone but ended up ultimately a family movie. Yesturday I was comparing hardware and trying to figure out what I want and would work the best for me. For on the road and in studio use. But I somehow stumbled apond video on Korg DS-10. From what I’ve seen that its like a Digital audio workstation for your Nintendo DSi. I’m impressed with what people are doing with handhelds and phones. Check out this video of a guy using Korg DS-10 as a talkbox, it’s too cool to not share.
I was growing more unhappy with Vista as time went on. I’m not sure why but to me it felt like a sloppy work flow and I wasn’t all pleased that I have to spend 2-4hours after a format of Vista disabling stuff. But when I happen to get a few viruses (completely my fault) I knew I had to reformat my laptop. I happen to find out about RC release of Windows 7 decided I wanted to give it a shot. It’s been 2 weeks since then and I’m impressed with Windows 7. First is that I don’t have to spend 2 hours disabling things with 7 I only need to spend 2 minutes. The task bar has been greatly improved with a very inspired Mac system to handle accessing programs. I haven’t tried to find everything I can with this OS but it’s the little things that matter to me with options of changing backgrounds(change the time to when you want the background to change! fancy.) to the blurring (Vista had but ate all resources to do it). The Aero theme is fantastic. Windows 7 seems to be able to handle everything I throw at it. The problem is I bought a Alienware m15x laptop. It works great for everything almost. It has latency issues and when I first got it I had major problem with it on Vista which happen to be BIOs driver issue. But since Windows 7 is still in development I’m getting latency spikes. Which I can’t have. For example tonight I finally felt the need to work on some music but I was getting some terrible cracking noise and stuttering. I can’t work with that really makes you loose focus.
I really think this issue is only effecting Alienware users and most other computers shouldn’t have a issue. I have Windows 7 on another laptop and desktop computer and seem to be running better than my system. Reminds me that since Vista they introduced a rating system how well windows thinks your computer can handle things. Those other computers I have 7 on I can do that rating system no problem, on mine… Ha. It hangs on video and can’t complete it but oddly I have no issues with high graphical demanding games. Though I can’t update the video drivers with out my computer getting messy. So theres a few bugs still to be worked out in Windows 7. But hey it is still in Beta or RC whatever it’s not finish is the point. And what I’ve seen so far without a doubt Windows 7 is the best OS I have ever used. I’m looking forward when they finish it. SF If you have been coming to my site, you might have noticed the new design and broken pages/links. I’m in the middle of coding the site, so let me know if anything you find that seems broken. *Update* All finished! *Update #2 06.19.10 – This site is never finished always adding and tweaking things to be better! |
