Google Glasses

These geeky but amazing 720P (so far) display on glasses is a big step forward.

"The front-facing camera will track hand and arm gestures and translate them into controls of the Android-based software environment."

Power outtage due to snow storm.

Well here in Virginia we had some snow (up to 6 inches or more in some spots) it is melting fast but last night around 10:00pm my power abruptly went out shutting my server down (hard shutdowns make me freak out). So the main website is down but this blog is hosted on blogger.com so this will be up. I am hogging my parents internet and updating via netbook. I won't have power till at the earliest Wed. 22. Oh well gotta ruff it. Will be fully operational as soon as possible!

Frightfest in Scotland and more dead news

Frightfest is taking place in Scotland as part of the Glasgow Film Festival programme. I love zombie movies, especially the typical apocalyptic zombie movies. I am a classics guy my favorite is "Day of The Dead-1985" which stars Joe Pilato as the order shouting to the point of making me laugh, not that its not a serious movie, his lines still make me chuckle and they mention him in the linked article below. I also like Dawn of the Dead (new and old) and similar others. I never get tired of zombie movies. Check out the article for more info below.

Twisted Metal PS3

Well I guess tonight is video game news night, might as well keep it rolling. Twisted Metal is one of my all time favorites that I have enjoyed since the PS1. The latest installment for the PS3 features over a dozen new and old characters, 2-4 player split screen and up to 16 online. Also if you pre-order with gamestop you get 30 days early access to Axel (Twisted Metal 2- man with wheels on the end of his arms and a shockwave special attack) and yes I used to play the hell out of the Twisted Metal series, this better be as good or better than Twisted Metal 2. I already got my pre-order in.

The Darkness II

I have the original "The Darkness" for the PS3. But I just now noticed (I am a bit late to the game) that "The Darkness 2" has been released for the Xbox 360, PS3, and the PC. I have already put the game on my steam wish list. When I have the spare bucks I will buy it. First I will play through "The Darkness", the first one for the PS3 then I will buy the second one for the PC on Steam.

Gotham City Imposters (PC, PS3, XBOX 360)

I recently bought and started to play the new "Gotham City Imposters". A team based first person where you play as either batman wannabes or joker wannabes in this fun game. I only played a little bit because I only got 2.5 hours of sleep last night. But from what I played the game had cool weapons and items such as the glider pack where you can jump and glide around then pounce downward from the air inflicting damage. Boomerangs, slingshot bombs, grappling hooks and other nifty devices. I played a quick game online as "The Bats" in team deathmatch and it was a typical first person shooters but with some real fun abilities. I purchased my copy on Steam (link below) for $14.99. Their is already downloadable content (DLC) for the game which already includes a total of 9 items for the game currently totaling $33.91. Yes the DLC total is more than twice the price of the game. But the game is cheap for a brand new game. Gotham City Imposters is available on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
