My New Pet Project. Silicone Rubber Molding

2010-10-17T17:46:00.002+08:00

Well for my new post I've decided to recant my experiences on making this project of mine. As of the moment i don't have any pictures since i've only started.

Just a flashback here. This started when i decided to fix up my room. I had installed shelves on the far side of my wall so that i could organize my junk. I've finished that project and went on to my next, which was an enclosure to house all my figures. Made from acrylic sheets, i have also finished that project. All the figures are now displayed properly and are safe from dust and moisture. So i was thinking of making the poses for the figures a bit better. But in order for me to do that i would need a lot of Di:Stages from Figma. So heres the problem the stage itself is a 4"x4" surface area and what i need to cover is a 42" x 12" surface area. Making with the math i would need at least 36 pieces of those Di:Stages. Problem is that it cost 500php each. I'm not willing to spend that much so here in lies the project. Using a single Di:Stage, i will make a silicone mold and replicate the stage using resin. Its more economical that way. Sorry Figma, i would like to buy from you but economy wise, i dont have that kind of budget to spend.

So here we are, i've actually started on the project and unfortunately its strike 1. I made a few mistakes, so i would like to share with you some of the experiences i've gained thu this project. Rest assured when i do perfect this i will post a complete guide to it.

First off, i'm from the philippines and its very difficult to find a place that sells the ingredients for this project. I've actually spent a week trolling the internet and calling before i found a supplier that sells Silicone Rubber RTV and the resin used to make the items. I'm not going to tell you where to buy it so dont even email me. If i found it on the internet you should be able too. Just to help out on your search. If you google it you would find a lot of places in the philippines that sells these stuff but it took me a week to find the cheapest one. If your paying more than 1000php per one kilo of silicone Rubber then your being ripped off. I bought mine almost half that price.

So experience Number 1: Dont mix all the components at the same time. Here how this goes. I dont know what kind of silicone RTV you are using but the one i bought have 3 components. @ basic ones and the extra one is just to make the rubber a bit more thinner so that it will glide into the details a lot better. So the materials are the silicone rubber, the catalyst, and the silicone oil. I dont care what ratio you do, just as long as you mix the catalyst last. I waisted a batch since i measured all components altogether and the mixture hardened while i was mixing it. It wast hard, hard, but didn't flow nicely. I suggest that if your using the oil to make the silicone thiner mix that first and then add the catalyst when you are about to pour. So to get this straight, mix silicone rubber and oil until you ge the consistency you like then mix in the catalyst then pour.

Experience number 2: Say that you have poured in the silicone and there are still leftovers. Don't try to mix in a new batch and then mix the two together. By the time you mix the new batch. The catalyst would have already started on the fist batch and it would be hard to mix the two batches together. If you have some leftover, just throw it away. Its better to throw that away than having to mix anther batch and having to throw them both out.

Experience Number 3: Wear gloves. damm silicone is hard to get off your hands. I needed to wash my hands in oil then soap a few times before i could get it off mine. I dont care if their plastic gloves or surgical gloves, but as long as its gloves.

Experience Number 4: Pour slowly. If you have a lot of detail on the item your making a mold of and or have holes that needed to be filled, you will need to pour slowly. It helps of you mix the slilicone in a plastic cup or paper cup so that you can bend the lips to that you can have a small exit for the silicone to flow thru.

Experience Number 5: If you think theres not enough catalyst, there's more than enough already. In this case its the catalyst that hardens the silicone. More catalyst the faster it hardens. altho it would make things faster for you, its not all that good. Having a slow curing process helps a lot. It gives time for the air bubbles to rise to the surface giving you a better mold. It also helps that you have a thinner viscosity. Same reason, its easier for the bubbles to rise to the surface. So if your pouring the catalyst, follow the instructions on the ratio that you need. Even if it looks like its not enough.

So i guess this is it for now. I'll prob update this again when i finish this project or more life experiences show up.

My Return

2010-10-17T17:43:00.002+08:00

Well its been 2 years since i've actually posted. I've decided to run the blog scene again. I'll prob make a lot of design changes since it has been 2 years. Funny thing is that people still come to the site. I'm guessing that is because of the AV girls i've listed on the pages. In anycase, heres to a new beginning.

Play World of Warcraft for FREE

2008-06-17T16:13:00.012+08:00

First of, i apologize for the long break between posts. I was, well... occupied with what i am about to blog about.

For starters, yes you read the title right, you can play world of warcraft for free. First of, this is not the official World of warcraft hosted by blizzard. Well it is the same game but it isn't hosted by blizzard. So if you have friends playing there, you wont see them here. This is a totaly different server hosted somewhere else. I dont know how, but someone has managed to get the server side programs to host this game. Its been a while now since world of warcraft has been released, and from that time, i could see pirated dvds being sold around with the title "World of Warcraft offline" Basically it is the server side program and the client which you both run on your computer to be able to play the game. But since this is an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game), theres really no sense in playing by yourself unless you just want to try it out, or test a few options or skills. This apparently this was the foundation of this server which was suggested by a friend. Someone actually made a server, hosted the game, and distributed it for free for all to enjoy. This is no small feat mind you, as i have experience with maintaining a private server for ragnarok a few years back. Its a drain on money, resources and time to maintain a server like this one, especially this one where the computing powere needed is way beyond what was needed to run a ragnarok server. Setting that aside, according to the website, the serve has been up for 3 years now, and suprisingly it is up to date. Actually, when you first download the installation, you log in to the official server of WOW (world of warcraft) to update the game, and patch the files, then you just change some settings to direct the game to the raidenwow server, and your off playing.

The server is hosted, well i don't know where its hosted. It looks like some remote country where there are no international, internet piracy laws in effect since its been up for 3 years now. But you can visit the site at RaidenWOW. From here you can download the client side game. Just a note, if your going to download from here, its a torrent file, you'll probably be redirected to mininova, so you must have a torrent client like bitcomet or utorent to download it. Also the game file is over 7gig so you have to have patience before you can play. With a fast internet connection, i was able to download it in a little over 3 days (78 hours to be exact). After downloading the client side program, its not really an installation, its a ready made game structure, all you need is to run the program, after uncompressing it of course, so you'll also probably need a winRAR program. Where was i, oh yeah, after downloading the game, go to the raidenwow website again and click on the link on how to update the game. follow the instructions and after that your ready to play. Oh yeah one last thing, you would need to make an account in raidenwow first. A website account, for logging in to the website, and a game account to play the game. After that just click on the wow.exe and your good to go.

Now for the game itself, I have never played the official WOW game so i have no comparison with this one. but needles to say, i believe that this is close enough to the real thing. The graphics it good, sound is good, movement is good, and the frame rate depends on how good your graphics card is and your internet connection. I've always wanted to try this game out ever since i saw a friend play it with his mage character. At that time, he was fighting a battle of some sorts with other characters online, against other characters online. All i could say is that this is the first time I've seen a mage, charging into battle,... in the frontlines. He was a touch cookie to put down, it took a fighter, a priest and a wizard to kill him. Well needless to say after seeing that, i always wanted to try, but didn't really see the logic to spend and buy the original game, and then pay a monthly fee to just try out the game. But behold, what lands on my lap? a free version of the game itself, for me to try and play so i can decide if it is worth the money i'm going to spend for it, so far it looks promising.

Having said all that, there are a few drawbacks to the game. Yes it is considerably easy to level up. x5 XP i think, it is also easy to get items, x5 monster drop, money isn't an issue (yup x5 money), You even get an auction house where some of the epic stuff which were modified so that a lvl 1 player can use them, are being sold. The game does lack, how should i say this..., players. Its no Blizzard WOW population, but it beats playing alone. There are somewhere 20 players online at anytime. a lot of characters and players have registered. But since their all over the world, you don't all play at the same time, considering also that the maps are huge, gynormous even, so you'd rarely encounter people along the way. Besides that, there are also some glitches to the game itself, like a few quests not working, and some parts of the game not being activated since there are so few people playing. Overall its a good game to play, if you can wait for the 7+ gig download. In the end its up to you right now if you want to be a member of the population and play along with us. Hopefully they'll be more people playing to fully enjoy the experience, so here i am, blogging about it, in hopes that you will read this and be interested enough to register and play the game with us. If you happen to register and play, get your friends into it also, since you already have a copy of the game you just need to just burn a copy for your friends so that they dont need to download it anymore. Who knows, you might see a blood elf warlock running around named Lillandra, if you do say hi, so that she could welcome you to the game.

Movie Reviw: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

2008-05-27T17:18:00.008+08:00

Ok, lets just get to the point. Yes it is a good film to watch. A very good throwback to the classic Indiana Jones movies where the last film was 19 years ago. Should you go out of your way to spend 100+ php to see it in a movie theater, Yes. its definitely one of those movies you must see in a cinema rather than waiting for the official dvd release. Is it worth the money? Well yes and no. If you want to know more then just read on, if not you have my opinion about the movie, and i suggest you watch it.

Ok, now on to my long winded review. First off, i dont remember much of the old series. i've watched them only a couple of times in the past and i haven't reviewed the old Indiana films for quite some time. But i do remember exactly how the movie felt and the energy and excitement it generated when i first watched them. I can honestly say that this does not disappoint. A classic throwback to the old Indiana Jones movies. Accurately capturing the flow of the past films. Doing the same style of humor, and the same type of exciting action sequences. in a way this is the movies strong point, on the other hand, this is also the movies bad point. I am not sure if it was the movie itself or just me growing up, but it did feel a bit outdated and childish in some points of the movie. But when you look at it in another perspective, i guess all the Indiana Jones films where like that.

Set now in 1954, i think, after the second world war and the cold war was beginning (or has begun), it isn't the Germans that are giving Mr. Jones the hard time, it is now the Russians, or more precisely the physic division of the KGB. The film started out great. It was like landing in the middle of the film, now origins, no pre-setup of plots, just right down to business. Mr. Jones being manhandled out of the back of a vehicle in "Area 51" or so was written on huge door, or gate, whatever. Oh yeah, there was a few min in the beginning of the film, well best i could say, as a filler, i'm guessing it was there to help the audience settle in before they start the action. In which case i should give a fair warning now, If you havn't watched it yet, you might not want to read thru since i'll be posting stuff here that might ruin the movie experience. If your not so concerned about it, then read on.

Where was i? oh yeah, i was a great start to the movie. With out going into much detail, same old routine, something big happens, something was stolen, and its up to Mr. jones to save the day. Please insert comedy sequences and action scenes in between the points. Hahahaha. Just kidding, but frankly i really dont want to go into the details. I will however will go into my usual rants about the movie.

First off is, well' i've said earlier, the movie felt outdated. The comedy sequences were predictable. yes they were different, but they were only different in the way it was acted out. A bit of the rehash of the old jokes that never lost their appeal. Second, the plot this time was somewhat a stretch. without going into the details, what Mr. jones was searching for and what he discovered was really a stretch for me. After watching the film, you might say to me, "but all the plots of Indiana Jones movies were a stretch" but still, for me, this one was a way bigger stretch. Third, well considering the age of Harrison ford, you can definitely tell that its not him anymore doing the action sequences. There are times when you will notice it, but even the times when you don't you'll still doubt your thoughts cuz Harrison's Age is in the back of your mind. for god sakes hes like 65 now.

But after all these things, it shouldn't keep you away from watching this movie. After all the high tech, overly computer generated action sequences we've come to enjoy, watching George Lucas and Steven Spielberg create such an enjoyable film is like a breath of fresh air. The die hard fans are, for sure, loving this movie and so should you.

My Rating: 8.5/10 (great throwback to old style movie making. You'll ride the edge of your seats and laugh at the same time)
Replayability: 4 (its a scale on how many times I can watch the movie over and over before your tired of it.)

Revoltech Gurren Lagann

2008-05-25T03:05:00.006+08:00

Well heres my other Revoltech which i bought along with the Regult posted below. Its a very good anime. Its more of a throwback to the old style anime with super robots that defy logic and physics, but hey its an anime, you can do anything in an anime. So just as the Regult, I've posted some snapshots below, and again i apologize for the crappy pictures, i had to deal with a camera phone, a flashlight and a rechargeable florescent emergency light. I edited them as best i could. Just a note, if your planning to buy one, please do be careful while changing the chest accessory. you can actually change the chest, one with the shades and one with out. While taking out the chest with the shades, well it kinda snapped off and i had to super glue it together, so if your replacing yours, just be careful in taking it out.

Revoltech Regult

2008-05-24T00:09:00.009+08:00

Well i just want to share my New Revoltech toy. its the Regult unit of the Zendradi. I would have preferred to buy a few of these since they were the staple unit of the Zendradi forces in the Macross series but sadly my budget wont allow it. And to make matters worse theres a VF-1J Max edition that i wanted to buy, not to mention the coming YF-19 and YF 21 series that will soon to come out. Oh hum, i'm running out of funds... :(

Summer Blockbuster Movie Schedule

2008-05-19T13:05:00.022+08:00

Ok, here it is. A list of the movies that are comming out this summer. There are more movies due to be shown but i have only listed the ones i've been waiting to watch and the the ones i think other people are waiting for and might make it big splash this summer. They're in order from left to right and top to botom. Some have already been shown, and some i bet a few of you haven't realized existed. A few of these havent been promoted yet, no trailers no news, so i've included a link to each respected Official Home Page for you to view the trailers (if available) or moview information. just click on the photo of the movie you want to view and you'd be redirected to its official site.

One last thing you need to know, these are official movie dates for the US. It may be different here in the Philippines. I would still need to check every wed of every week on whats showing. So if your from the Philippines or any other country, please still check you local listing on what exact dates these movies are showing, either way you can just use these dates as a guide.

PSP - ISO vs CSO file format

2008-05-16T10:59:00.007+08:00

Well i'm thinking, its time for a PSP post. I've been thinking of relevant things to post about the psp and i came up with this since there hasn't been an updat yet on the PSP custom firmware, i decided to post something about the file formats used to store the PSP games and the differences and advantages of using each.

First of this review is for owners that had forgone the warranty of their PSP and converted them to custom firmware for one reason or another. The topics that i will be discussing are tested for Dark Alex's CFW (Custom Firm Ware), ver 3.90 m33-3 which i believe is the latest version. Another thing is that i'm using a PSP slim, and not a Phat, there are differences in the two but i will not discuss them here. So if you have a problem with anything here, and you're using a different version, or have a PSP Phat, i cant help you there since i cant downgrade, or rather wont downgrade and i dont own a PSP Phat.

On to the discussion. The difference of an ISO and a CSO is just the file size it will occupy on your memory card. Basically you can think of it this way comparing it to a picture file format. An ISO is like a BMP image, large file size with no compression, and a CSO is like a JPEG version of the same image, but compressed which has a smaller file size. There are a few minor differences but I'll dive into that later.

Now i'm guessing you are wondering why doesn't everyone use CSO instead, well the answer to that question is load time. ISO file format is a representation of a UMD disc drive but a bit faster to load than a UMD because its is in your memory card and files are accessed quickly and there are no discs that spin around at high speed reading data. An ISO is just basically a container that emulates a disc stuck together in a file. Your CFW is just fooling your PSP telling it that the UMD disc is in fact the ISO file. but enough of that, you just need to remember that an ISO game format is like your UMD disc but has a slightly faster load time. A CSO game file format on the other hand is like your ISO file compressed into a ZIP archive, meaning the PSP has to uncompress the file first before the system reads it. Its not like the ISO where it has a direct access to the files, a CSO file format takes more time and computing power because the PSP need to do a few more thing to access the data.

Now knowing this, there are two ways that the psp loads data from the UMD or your memory card. The first is an initial data load, which is really an easy way of saying that the psp loads most of the game, or the level, or the stage of what your playing and it doesn't access it again until the next stage or level. This is usually is seen with genre games such as puzzle games, strategy games, platform games ect. The difference of CSO and ISO can be seen here during load times of each stage and or level. There is somewhere between a 3 to 8 second delay for the CSO compared to the ISO file format depending on the game. Although this may not seem that much, but for some people a 5 second delay is a bit too much. The other way a PSP loads a game is thru constant access. There are games like God of War, Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Metal Slug Anthology, or even the GTA series where data is constantly read from the Memory card or UMD. Generating encounters, or backgrounds, or random events, then you have the background sounds and music playing, the PSP has a hard time accessing all these file constantly using a CSO file format. Imagine accessing all of these, constantly uncompressing and reading data from the memory card, you will soon realize that your game is slowing down, or is skipping frames, which i can say is a kill joy.

Now that you understand all these, you will have to make a choice now if you want a smoother game experience, but less space on your memory card, or more space on the mem card for games but end up waiting a bit more and for some games reduced efficiency. Id say do both. It is true that if you make all your games into a CSO, you'll have more games to play, but honestly enough, i how many games can you go thru in a day or two. Do you constantly need to change the games you play everytime you open your PS or do you stick to a game or two until you finish them and then load up a new one. Solution is have a mix of file formats. some games with CSO, and some games with ISO. This way you can maximize you r memory card space while maintaining efficiency of your gameplay.

So it comes down to this, below this post are links to programs i use to convert files from ISO to CSO or CSO to ISO. But the software i use requires you to install the Microsoft .net framework into your computer. Why you ask? well i really don't know, it would seem that the program will not run unless you have it in your system. Now fuss no worries, its an easy enough program to use, just select the option you want, example is to select "ISO to CSO" option, browse for the file you want to convert, then just click on the convert button, and thats it. Don't expect too much, compression depends on the game itself. there are games when you convert them like final fantasy give you only a 20% file size difference, but there are games that I've converted that yielded a 60 or even 70% file size difference. You will just need to try them out. I'm guessing that the games with a lot of videos and cut scenes don't compress too well since videos are compressed enough. So try them out and enjoy the experience. If you happen to find a program that converts from file structure to file structure without installing the .NET framework give me a holler, I'll try it out, but really, as the quote goes, "if it ain't broken, then don't fix it..." enjoy ...

Dead Fantasy by montyoum

2008-05-15T17:32:00.012+08:00

Well i think I'm the last to know about this. It would seem that the information takes some time to filter down to use average people, but here it is. Dead fantasy I and II. If you don't know what I'm talking about then just read on.

Well for starters, theres a guy on the net who calls himself montyoum or Monty Oum whichever you prefer. Monty is an aspiring 3d animator and all i can say is the boys got a future in this. I haven't seen all his work, i think he has done 9 videos in all, but i can say this for sure, the Dead Fantasy series he has created is good enough for me to wait and see where this guys future is heading.

If you haven't noticed it by now, Dead Fantasy is a play on words, combining 2 great games on the market. DOA (Dead or Alive) and Final Fantasy series. The video clips he has created comes from the thought... what would happen if the girls from DOA and the girls from Final fantasy would ever meet and duke it out. Who would win? well thats about all the explanation there is to the clips. Its basically a side by side fight of the two groups with ever escalating ferocity and characters if i may add, coupled with a lot of style and a lot of imagination. Its actually so popular that the clips from gametrailers have already garnered over 6 million views.

At first, when I've heard of the video, i was assuming that it was one of those video edited clips that were pieced together to simulate an actual battle like lets say dragon ball anime character fighting with another character from another anime. Usually cutting things out and stitching them together using an AV editor of some sorts. Expecting this, i was surprised to notice that the characters movements were not cut but in fact rendered scene by scene and everything was original. Somehow, someone made the models for each of the characters and made them move and fight like real professional 3d animators did. Having dabbled into 3d animation a while back, i know how hard it is to make a model, let alone create a 10 min animation. But i know from his montys post that the models were taken from the actual game generator. He accredits an unknown person, who he is calling Mr. Y, who actually dove into the guts of the game and extracted the game models of the characters which he then used to make his film. Still, rendering a 10 min animation full of action must have taken some time. consider the fact that one of the frames in the transformers move took 38 hours to render, and having 30 frames in a second for high def, you do the math. Well of course the level of detail is different, I'm guessing it took 1 hour or more for each frame, but after all the moving and animating the characters coupled with the render time, you can appreciate the effort it took to make this clip. Altho he did say that he learned a few tricks that kept his render time down, well thats good, it just means we don't have to wait that long for the next clip.

Well thats about all i can say about that. Click on the links below if you want to be redirected to the clips and watch them online. I wont be posting a downloadable version here since it is a large file and the ones i have are the High Res ones. Don't expect a quality at par of the final fantasy cut scenes, its more like the ingame 3d quality. But don't let that get you down, it is still worth watching. It just makes you want to pick up a controller and wish that there was really a game like this for you to play.

Will Eisner's The Spirit, movie by Frank Miller

2008-05-14T11:47:00.033+08:00

, I've just finished watching Sin city and was surfing for some trivia or movie details when i encountered another movie being written for the big screen and directed by Frank Miller.

The movie is The Spirit. This is Will Eisner's classic character from the 40's and 50's that broke new ground and paved the way for the comic book characters of today. The Spirit movie is a classic action-adventure-romance told by that great artist Frank Miller who brought us the visually stunning movies of Sin City and 300. This is a story of a former rookie cop that returns from the dead as the spirit to fight crime from the shadows of Central city. From what i can tell from the short teaser trailer (watch here) this will be another stunning visual movie comparable to Sin City. Having the same gritty, black and white style with blotches of color, i do believe that this will be another successful movie derived from popular graphic novels. Starring Gabriel Macht as the Spirit/Denny Colt, Samuel L. Jackson as The Octupus, Scarlett Johansson as Silken Floss, Eva Mendes as Sand Saref, and many more. This is shaping to be another all star cast comparable to Sin City.

Well thats that for now. Most of the relevant information i have posted below. If you want a high res copy of the pictures here, just click on them, let them load and right click and save, fair warning these are High Resolution pictures, some of which is bigger than 1Mb. I cant wait until Dec when the movie starts showing. But being in the Philippines, i'm guessing we would have to wait until the new year to view this on the big screen, Metro Manila Film Festival remember? Oh well, im sure 3 days after the first showing, it will be available in you local "vcd?, dvd?, adult?, boss?" vendor. Personally a film like this deserves to be watched on the big screen, the choice is up to you.

Director: Frank Miller
Writers: Will Eisner (comic); Frank Miller (screenplay)
Release Date: 25 December 2008 (USA); Jan 2009 (Philippines)
Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Gabriel Macht, Eva Mendes, Jaime King, and many more.

Marvel Movie Madness

2008-05-12T15:14:00.006+08:00

As i sit here in my chair, still a bit high on the Iron Man movie, I decided to search the internet for information about the Iron Man movie 2. I was told that the iron man movie was already in production and was set to be shown summer of next year. Given this information, i decided to check if this information was true, so where else do i go, of course the internet.

As i surf, and read thru reviews and blogs, I have come to find out that in fact there is an Iron Man 2 and a 3 in production but it hasn't started yet. But there is already a release date for the Iron man Movie 2 scheduled for April 30, 2010. Yes i know its still a long way, but considering the fact that this was a great film, i believe that it is better to wait a while to savor the movies and not get saturated by all the hype and excitement.

But this post isn't just about the Iron Man Movies that is for sure to come, but as of the title suggest its about the Movie Madness that Marvel has gotten into. while reading and searching for information about the Iron Man movies, i have come across some factual, and rumored information about what is Marvel comics is up to. this is a mix between Iron Man trivia and facts and some facts and rumors of Marvel next line up of movies. Let us begin..

Marvel Studios announced Monday it will release "Iron Man 2" on April 30, 2010, following the success of the first in the comic-book franchise, which pulled in $165 million million domestically and $342.1 million worldwide.
Robert Downey's character, Tony Stark, makes an appearance in next month's "The Incredible Hulk," movie.
the Hulk could turn up in "Iron Man 2," Marvel Studios Chairman David Maisel said during a conference call to discuss the company's earnings. "The Avengers" consists of a rotating roster of Marvel heroes — including original members Iron Man, the Hulk, Ant-Man and Thor — that could see the return of virtually any of the franchise's characters.
Avengers movie just may BE Iron Man 3!!! Jon Favreau (interview) - "I think [The Avengers] would be a very smart third film in the Iron Man series." There will be an Avengers movie in the works, but if it is in fact joined in with the Iron Man movie 3 or a stand alone movie, only time will tell.
Captain America’s trademark red, white and blue shield appears near the 1 hr 30 min mark in the film at the point where Pepper Potts comes in on Tony trying to get out of his damaged armor. The line you want to watch out for is, ”Let’s face it, this is not the worst thing you’ve caught me doing.” (movie hint anyone?)
There is a Thor movie in the works. Tho there was a scheduled date release, sometime 2010, it has been put on hold. apparently the $300 million dollar script, handed down by chosen director Matthew Vaughn, i still in discussion with Marvel Studios along with him insisting a total unknown to play the lead role. Time will tell if this pushed thru.
There is a Wolverine movie prequel to the X-Men movie. Still being played by Hugh Jackman, the movie starts production Nov 2008.
There will be another Punisher movie titled Punisher: War Zone domming out this Dec 2008 having Ray Stevenson as the lead role of Frank Castle.
As stated above, there will be an Ant Man movie being scheduled for production. As of the moment, there is still no news on who will direct it and star in the lead role.
The first Avenger is finally getting his shot on the Hollywood box office. Captain America the movie is in the pipeline for the next big film for marvel. Directed bu Nick Cassavetes, it is set to show on May 6, 2011. just in the rumor bin, it is said that Matthew McConaughey is Marvel Studio’s top choice to play the lead role in Captain America, well thats just a bad choice. I can never see Captain America in cutoff jeans and a sleeveless shirt.
And the last news i was able to get is the Nick Fury movie. obviously staring Samuel L Jackson due to the cameo in the Iron Man Movie. There is still no news on when will the production start. There has no news about script and director but for sure it will happen.

As you can see from the list, you can surmise where the Marvel Studios direction is taking us. After their ground breaking first trilogy the X-Men movies, Marvel has decided to give us another group that would satisfy a huge group of fans. they just didn't announce a major movie being made but thought ahead making smaller (smaller, yeah right) movies first as an introduction to the major movie which in fact is the Avengers. Making individual Movies is a great idea, then combining them all for the major group is splendid. But heres a thought, in the end, after making the movies and before the major one, if each individual movie cost in the region of $100 million to make, what will be the budget of the Avengers movie when it is consisted of 6 or more major characters, not to mention that some of these characters have Big Name stars that command a hefty salary. Aside from the budget, another thought has crossed my mind. There have been numerous movies, mostly B-grade ones, about some of these characters, For this plan to work, I mean the success of the Avengers Movie, each individual movie must in turn, create a killing in the box office, or at the very least create that major buzz that will influence the next movie coming out. Looking at that perspective, this is a tough and long climb for marvel studios. all i can say is that Iron Mans done, it made a killing at the box office, i guess thats one down, and a few more to go...

GoGo Speed Racer Go!

2008-05-10T01:02:00.011+08:00

Well its here, the third blockbuster for the season is finally showing. Speed Racer, by the Wachowski brothers, creator of the Matrix Trilogy has been playing in theaters in the Philippines for 3 days now and i have just come back from the movie theaters finished from watching the film.

I really don't know where to start. I've been waiting to watch this film not because i am a fan, nor i believe it is a very good movie. I could say that there are only two reasons why i watched this film. the first is because i was interested in the visual effects of the film. Truly, people might not notice but the trailers really sell every film out there. Its the draw getter for people to get interested and eventually watch the film. Sad to say that i am one of the sheep that were actually drawn to the film because of the trailer. the second reason, and probably the most important, its a Wachawski movie. Directed by those brothers that gave us, in my opinion, the most important film for out generation, the Matrix (matrix 2 and 3 were ok, but for me, a bit like a filler to say they made a trilogy). The first one will always be the best of the three. But enough of the matrix, and lets start talking about the movie in review, Speed Racer.

I have read a lot of reviews about this film and a majority of them has given a thumbs down on it , at the very most an average rating. They rant about how the movie was a feat of visual entertainment, and how it captured the feel of the 60's anime, but it failed to capture the essence of the anime. Some disliked the storyline, some opposed the script, and some ranted a lot about how the movie was confusing and had no point whatsoever. I do share some of their opinions, but overall it was a great film. To rate this film, i think i have to consider the kinds of people who will watch it. I believe that i can put these people three categories.

The first, and the most common, are the average run of the mill people. People who come to the theater to be entertained and nothing more. These are the people who would, for example, talk about the matrix film, as a great action film, and nothing more, not taking to account the fact that the story had a deeper meaning and would not appreciate the complexity of the story. These are the kinds of people who would hear the line "there is no spoon" and think nothing of it. Well this category of people will definitely enjoy this film. There is no lack of action, and visual stimulation in the movie. A stunning array of colors vividly portrayed on the big screen. Tully as most critics would say, Like a modern day anime, coming to life in the silver screen. Full of action, and no shortage of slow motion in places that would cater for a second look, visually done in a manner not seen so often, truly an action filled movie, especially if you like racing.

The second category of people are, well i could say, are the intellectual type. These are the kinds of people that would normally chose what they watch, looking for depth, story, and a good script, or could possibly just professional critics. I should say this now, If your reading this, critics are not Gods, altho some of them think they are, they are not. Look, critics are there to give their "opinion" on a certain thing, place, movie, series, or event. OPINION, take that word to heart, cuz its their personal opinion about the specific topic. Just because they say its no good, doesn't mean that it is really no good. Go out and experience it yourself and make up your damn mind about it. Where was i, oh yeah, this category of people will really not like this film. Its a Wachowski brothers film i know, but if your going to compare this to, lets say, the matrix, then your way off base. The First film was full of originality, plots, and storylines with deeper meanings, Speed Racer is a live action movie based on a Japanese cartoon series in the 60 about a bout, his car, and a few races. There isn't much depth there i would say. This is why i believe that most movie critics have given this movie a poor rating. But, in my OPINION, these critics failed to see the beauty of the structure of the film, I'll be talking about this later in detail.

The Third category of people are somewhere in between these two. People who could appreciate what a stunning visual masterpiece this is, full of action and innovative cinematography. People who love a good action movie as the next guy but is intelligent enough to understand the complexity of the storyline. To appreciate how the story was told, simple as it was, this movie was expressed in a very artistic way. Yes i know that it has a simple story structure, but this is where the critics got it wrong, and a lot of people got confused while watching the film. You do remember that this is the Wachowski brothers were talking about. IF you were them, and you have this huge expectation coming from people who watch your anticipated film, how would you present a simple story to an audience expecting something they have come to expect as mind blowing. Well you break up the story and present it piece by piece using flashbacks and foreshadowing. Yes i would be the first one to acknowledge this, the movie was confusing at some parts, this is because the answers to whatever question you have have been distributed all across the film, not presented after the question but sometime in the beginning or somewhere else in the story. This is what i believe the critics missed. Although it would come to most people as a garbled story, but if you would open your mind, absorb everything you hear, and at the end of the film organize your thoughts, you would realize that it was beautifully done. As an example of this is sometime in the beginning of the film, there will be a scene where speed, as a young boy, will show his red socks to his older brother during a flashback. The reason for this would only be explained sometime 2/3 of the movie. But in the end, after you have accumulated your thoughts, answered your questions, you will come to realize, just as i have, that its weakest point was the story. Sad to say, although the story made sense and somewhat realistic (I'm using realistic loosely), beautifully presented, and with the flashbacks and foreshadowing made the story deeper that it was, it was in fact simple. There was some attempt by the Wachowskis to give a deeper meaning, having to explain the corruption and the deeper motivation of the races, giving you a glimpse of what might be the "real" case in our so called world of racing, in the end it was drowned by the "beautiful" way the story was presented.

So i guess its time for the verdict. To start it of, you should watch this film, no if, thens or buts about it. You can be a person from any of the categories that i have listed and you would still walk away with something thrilling from this film. It is nothing short of a work of art, animated, filmed with live people, enhanced, and presented on the big screen. Just the sheer visual effects alone will make you cheer and ride the edge of your seat. Beautifully done, and nothing less, visually anyway, from the Wachowski brothers, who again has not failed to present a stunning treat for the eyes.

My Rating: 7.5/10 (Its the story that failed to get me to give a higher rating. Lets just say that 5 points of that were the visuals alone.)
Replayability: 3 (its a scale on how many times I can watch the movie over and over before your tired of it.)

Iron Man Movie Review

2008-05-01T23:08:00.008+08:00

Ok, to start things off, i would want to say that i am NOT an Iron Man aficionado. I do like comics but frankly there are too many comic characters out there to know everything about everyone.

I do know the basics. Tony Stark, creator of the Iron Man suit, part of the Avengers team, Rich dude, playboy, similar to Bruce Wayne in some aspects of his secret identity, also the CEO of Stark Enterprises, largest company that makes weapons, blah blah blah. Other than these, i couldn't say much about the original storyline and if they did change anything or how heavily modified was the storyline.

I'm sure there will be people out there, the comic geeks, that would point out the many differences with the comic character and story, opposed to the movie. I am not one of them. But i do like movies and i consider my self, kinda like a bit of a movie geek, so i wouldn't bore you with any of the nonsense of slight differences, with the movie and the comics. I would rather want to talk about the movie itself and how good it is, and if it is good enough to watch on the big screen.

Having said that, ARE YOU FRICKIN' KIDDING ME? good enough to watch on the big screen... Hell Yeah!. Look, good or bad, these are one of the movies that you have to watch on the Big Screen. Honestly, even if you are not a fan, it is a truly enjoyable movie.

Hmmmm... where to start... without having to blurb about the storyline, hmmm... Ok, my first review was on the movie Forbidden Kingdom, that was a disappointment. This, i have to say was very well made. Story wise, it flowed from scene to scene. No hiccups, no boring parts that make you wonder. The plot and the story were solid, and nothing felt like it was rushed or edited heavily. As expected from a movie series, yes i said series, as to be expected with movies derived from comic books, this will definitely have a continuing story, heck even the Incredible Hulk got a second chance and the first one didn't do so good. As i was saying, as expected from a movie series, the first one was about the background story, so no heavy, crazy, over the top fighting, i'm guessing that will come along in the next movie or so.

The movie goes about the story of Tony Stark and the trial and tribulations he goes thu to create the Iron Man suit. Along the way you will enjoy a lot of witty humor coming from tony Stark himself. I really don't know if the Tony Stark character from the comic book has the same witty humor, but the injection of humor into the movie is well received. It was place very well, it didn't feel forced or unexpected, I laughed quite a bit i would say.

The next thing i noticed was, knowing full well that a lot of the scenes involve a lot of CG (computer Graphics), well i would say that the technology is getting better. There were some parts that you would definitely notice the CG but overall unnoticeable. Maybe if you would watch it over and over again, you'll notice it all but i could say, in the first time you watch it, you will be drawn to the movie wont think much about it.

Just an edited insert here, i just remembered a few parts of the movie. Aside from the various injected humor in the film, there was a part there that shocked me. Well not shocked, but it amused me in the sense that while watching the film, and having one of the characters saying the line around 3 times, it only dawned upon me during the ending when he said the line that made me hit my head and say, "crap, i didn't realize that". I'm sure the comic geeks would have noticed it earlier. something to do with the strategic homeland intervention, espionage logistics directorate. Well if you didn't get that, just watch the movie. Also, as the comic book goes, and the numerous suits that Tony Stark has, well you can see the start of that in the movie, sometime nearing the end of the movie, you'll be able to glimpse of another suit being made, which i guess would mean another movie.

The last thing i want to say are the characters. Robert Downey Jr did a great job portraying Tony Stark. If it was up to par with the personality of the comic character, well comic geeks will have to tell you that. But as for the movie, he was great, believable enough that you really think that he was a playboy billionaire CEO. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Pepper Potts, the loyal assistant of Tony Stark, well all i can say that she did a great job, but i wasn't really happy about having another love interest in a movie. I could honestly say i just was a little ticked off seeing yet again another love interest in a movie. You'll never get rid of em, it would say that they will always put them there.

Over all, this is a great movie to watch. In fact, I'm watching this again on Sat. And probably watch it again sometime next week. Action, a good story, CG, and of course a small dose of love. Oh well you can have everything.

My Rating: 8.5/10 (its not a 9 but its not an 8 either, its a scale to 10 but i rarely give a 10, so far the only thing i would rate a 10 is "The Matrix" so usually 9 is the highest)
Replayability: 4 or 5 (its a scale on how many times I can watch the movie over and over before your tired of it.)

2008-04-29T17:53:00.004+08:00

Well Just a quick post. Tada, its the Kitty Girls, taken from their photoshoot for Gadgets magazine in cooperation with the After Market Mafia group, for the month of April. Yeah i know its already May, but i was just organizing my desktop and came across these photos.

I wasn't in the area, then the shots where taken so i cant brag or anything. just wanted to share these with you.

the Nissan 350z featured in the photos is my boss', well at least used to be. I think he sold it to someone.

None of the Photos in the collection appeared in the magazine so i guess its ok to share. I do hope i dont get in trouble.

Just click on one of the pictures to get redirected to my photobucket album.

Enjoy.

Two Days of Agony

2008-04-28T13:44:00.004+08:00

When did it happen? When was the exact point in our lives when we began to totally be dependent on technology?

I have missed two days of posting on my blog. I know its not a big deal, people gone months before posting another writeup on their own personal blogs, but understand this, i have just started on mine and i have set a goal of posting one per day for about a month so that my site would at the very least have some structure, not to mention content. A week and a half of posting and editing, i am glad it is now a far cry from when it started.

Setting that aside, the real reason for the title is that i have lost my internet connection for the past weekend. It wasn't cut or anything, it was just down. Calling my service provider, i had found out that a few of the servers had crashed and internet was "intermittent". Intermittent my Arse, try no connection whatsoever. I couldn't even load google, ya heard that right, the smallest loading page there, and i couldn't even load it up.

Starting Friday night when i got home from work, up to Sunday night, i sat in front of my computer twiddling my thumbs, hoping it would turn on. Well to be frank, i could have done other things, watched anime, TV series that i have downloaded and not viewed yet, or even play on my PSP. But that short break gave me pause to think, when did it happen that i was to dependent on the internet that i couldn't live my life normally without it. When i think about it, almost all the resource i get is thru the internet. Dictionary for one, dont know the meaning of a word you just heard, search for it on the internet. My metric conversion which i use to calculate distances, well i use the online version. interested in a song or a movie, guessed right, go to the internet. Trivia questions, simple inquiries, looking up phone numbers for home deliveries, even buying stuff, most of these goes thru the internet. Ahhh, i've even infected my older sister, who is now a fan of ebay and youtube. Pestering me every 30min or so, asking the question "may internet na?"

I could remember when i was small when i played with He-Man action figures, GI Joe, and matchboxes. Getting into computers at an early age, i guess i fell in love with it. If i could remember correctly, the first pc in the house, when everyone left to go to work, i dismantled it piece by piece to figure out and learn which part was which. It went terribly wrong when i assembled it back. but it was a learning experience. then suddenly the mid 90's the internet started to boom in our country. It was the start of dial up, where in that time, having a 14.4 kbps modem was the best you can go. An unlimited internet connection was totally unheard of, and a computer with a 20Mb hard disc was state of the art technology. Fast forward 14 years into the present, and were not only talking about faster speeds, but 24 hour, 7 days a week, always on internet connections. Not only that, computer systems have gone thru numerous upgrades. They say that you have more computing power right now in one of your cell phones, than the entire system used to get the astronauts to the moon.

Ahh, technology is quite something else. In just over 10 years, we've gone, from 14.4 modems to broadband internet. From a 386 processor to an Intel Quad. A 20Mb Hard disc to terrabytes of storage for the person computer. Technology has become a necessity rather than a luxury. can you imagine what you'll be using in another 10 years time into the future? well i'm just hoping i can get that far.

WTF: Powerpuff Girls Z?

2008-04-24T22:29:00.004+08:00

Ok, Lets get things straight first. Yes, its real, theres a Powerpuff Girls Jap Anime version. As you can see on the right, the animators have done a great job transcending these cartoonish cute little girls into the anime version to the right. But sadly thats all the good news i can say about the series. Yes You read that right, a series...all 52 episodes of it.

In truth, i have a liking to the cartoon network version of the Powerpuff Girls. Altho i am not a fan of it, i sometimes find myself watching the series on cartoon network along with other good cartoons like Dexters Laboratory and Samurai Jack. So when i first heard that some company in Japan had acquired the rights to make an anime version of it, i quickly turned to the net to find a downloadable version of it.

At long last, after 5 days of downloading, I've finally finished getting all 52 episodes of the powerpuff girls z, all 10Gb of it. Curious and excited, i watched the first episode, and... well.... all i can say is, I'm a kid at heart, i can appreciate and sometimes watch cartoons or anime made for children, I can even dumb myself down to enjoy a brainless idiotic movie as long as its entertaining, but i say, the Powerpuff Girls Z is something else. I have never seen such an episodes, nay a series for that matter, tailored made for small little children. I couldn't take it, it was excruciating, arrrgg... thats 20 min of my life I'm never gonna get back.

Well in anycase, if you have kids, and they love watching anime, this is for them. That's if your kids can read and watch at the same time, i really don't think that there'll be an English version anytime soon. You can watch it too if you can take it, but be warned, i think i lost a few IQ points while watching the first episode. I do hope i can get them back...

Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe on Discovery Channel

2008-04-23T17:41:00.006+08:00

Stuck in a dead-end job? Daydreaming about a new career? If you think your job sucks, well think again.

Discovery has a show that focuses on various jobs that are at the very least called dirty. Aptly named Dirty Jobs, it is hosted by Mike Rowe. In the simplest form, the host, apprentices various jobs that, for some of us, never really given a second thought, or have never really realized ever existed. In the words of the host, "it is a show made to celebrate the men and women who earn an honest living doing the kinds of jobs that make civilized life possible for the rest of us".

In short, you never really think about what happens to your poo after you flush the toilet, or what happens to the trash that you throw away, or even how everything you have in your life is made. You just get up, get them off the shelf, go to the counter, pay some money and then use em. you never really realized the time and effort spent to make em. Well thats where the show comes in. It shows you the hard work and the odd jobs that we have all around us that we don't pay much attention to, but are essential to make our lives a little better.

As of now, its my favorite show to watch on cable. Week by week i tune in to the Discovery channel every Monday to watch the latest episode (check your local listing for the schedule). Done in a very entertaining way, its not only funny to see a grown man fumbling time and time again, job after job, It is also very, very entertaining. On a side note, you do learn a lot too. Educational information and facts are built in the show that is presented in a fashion that sometime you wouldn't even notice that you've learned something.

All in all, i recommend to tune in and watch. In the end, if you think about it, all of us, has a dirty job. At the very least, a dirty job to someone else...

Its a Hard Knock Life ( Insert Sarcasm here)

2008-04-22T13:36:00.009+08:00

My god, it really is a hard knock life. I mean its so hard to find a job and earn a living. Constantly being placed in harms way, always enduring pain and suffering, the constant humiliation, forever disappointments. Work, work, work, without a rest in sight, but still i dredge on, keeping my sanity. For as long as there is a dirty job out there, i will keep moving forward. If I dont do it, then no one will...(again inject a huge amount of Sarcasm here).

Sarcasm aside, i just want to share these photos with you. Just recently, the trans Sport Show 2008 just ended and might i say was a successful one. The group which i work for (the after market Mafia, namely ConceptOne, Atoy Bodykits, Xenon bulbs, and Bilstein) won a lot of awards including Best Body Kit, Best Drift Car, Best Graphics, Best Booth Display and a lot more.

In any case I guess thats all i can say for now. If you want to view more pictures you can click on any one of the pictures and hopefully you'll get directed to the album in Photobucket.

Again, i cant stress enough how hard my job is. There are days when i just hit myself over the head, and ask myself why am i doing this. then i look up and find the answer. Aahhhh...

David Cook Rocks Again

2008-04-21T15:43:00.004+08:00

I know I'm behind in posting this, but later is better than never.

I've always been a fan of American Idol since season 3 (Fantasia Barrino), and every season there are fan favorites and some unexpected great singers, like Carrie Underwood in season 4. I didn't pay much attention to her at the beginning but she definitely grew on you and i guess the rest of America since she won.

This season is no different, i never really paid much attention to David cook from the beginning. He was really not a part of my pick to win, but surprisingly, his originality on his arrangement of the songs he's chosen just blew me away. I've actually went back to past episodes and watched his performances and i couldn't think of a reason why i never noticed him before. Its like he flew under the radar waiting for his chance to wow the audience and that came when he sang a different Billie Jean Originally By Micheal Jackson sung by Chris Cornell. Man, this rendition by David cook sent shivers to my spine. But it wasnt the last of it. just this past week, where their songbook selection came from Mariah Carrie, he did it again. Who Would have known someone would take a Mariah song and sing it like that. it was awesome. And this time, he arranged the song, himself, i think cuz there were no shout outs to some other artists like in Billie Jean. All in all, i can say, David Cook is a great addition of the American Idol cast, like Daughtry, and Bo Bice before him. I Hope you win bro, cuz rockers really rule.

If you want to sample the 2 awesome songs you can get the links below. I know i'm violating some privacy act or some sort for posting it here. But all i can say is, if you like the song, go and buy it please...

The Forbidden Kingdom Movie Review

2008-04-19T03:25:00.010+08:00

At last, the Blockbuster summer movies has begun in the Philippines. To kick off the beginning of the lot is the movie starring 2 of Asia's biggest martial arts stars, Jacky Chan and Jet Li. If you've been living under a rock, then the movie is The Forbidden Kingdom.

The Synopsis is "An American teenager who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kung-fu classics makes an extraordinary discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. With the lost relic in hand, the teenager unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to ancient China to join a crew of warriors from martial arts lore on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King." (taken from IMDB)

If your into the martial arts scene, the story of the monkey king has been a favorite legend in the Asian cinema spawning countless movies, shows and even cartoon/anime Series. I cant say that the idea for the film isn't really original, altho I'm hard pressed to think of the title that is similar to this one, i am fairly certain that the plot of an unsuspecting foreigner being thrown into a situation where he must save the world, has been used before. Setting that aside, sometimes it isn't the originality of the plot line of a movie that is important (altho it is very welcome), it is how the story is presented that makes a big difference. You can have the most original story and plot, but if presented in a bad way makes it just a bad movie. the flip side is also true, you can have a common plot and story, but if presented wonderfully, it makes a great movie, The Forbidden Kingdom kinda hovers in the middle.

I was waiting for this movie for quite some time now, and was amped to find out it was showing and i was one of the first people in the cinema to watch it. Well i can say I'm a bit disappointed. I'm not really sure if i just had such high hopes for the film, or it was poorly made. All i can think about while watching the film was this could have been done better. It also felt like the story was rushed a bit and i had the feeling that the story was moving too fast like there were missing parts that were cut, basically the storyline didn't move smoothly.

On the good side, it isn't a bad movie, it was very entertaining, there were moments that i really enjoyed. I was hoping for more fighting scenes but it was adequate enough especially for those who just want to see Jet Li and Jacky Chan fight off. Not to kill any dreams, but you wont find out who's better, they kinda end in a draw. Over all, if you like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, or are a fan of either these stars, you should go see this film.

My Rating: I'll probably give this movie a 6.5 / 10
Replayability: 2 Times (This is my Rating, Basically how many time you can watch the movie one after another )

Olivia Munn - A Different kind of Geek

2008-04-18T16:57:00.015+08:00

Well there isn't much to say really. Olivia Munn, ahhhh.... i first saw this thing of beauty a few months ago when a new channel on our cable turned on, Maxxx. As one of the hosts for AOTS (Attack of the Show), i was happy enough to see a geek channel on TV that caters to my own personal geek, but having her as a host was more than an additional bonus.

Along with Kevin Pereira, AOTS discuss everything from videos on the Net, news on electronics, games, music, ect. with a different perspective. None of those boring discussions and reviews, but instead, done with humor and, frankly, a lot of stupidity, immaturity, and self humiliation that makes it, well, very entertaining.

At first, personally, I've already found Olivia attractive, but like a moss on a humid day, she kinda grows on you. Eventually got up from bed and went to my computer to search some decent info on her and realized that she was no ordinary host, she was a very hot geek host. Able to leap tall barriers that separate geekiness and hotness in a single bound, crap, what the heck am i writing anyway? Long story short shes hot. Not just because shes sexy, but intelligent too (i think, well i hope so), also willing to do almost anything for entertainment. In the episodes I've watch on cable and on youtube, I've seen here bite into a sausage dangling from a ceiling, dressed up as Wonder Woman for a short skit on AOTS, portrayed the lead role on the spoof of the TV show Bionic woman titles Lesbionic Woman (see picture below), injured herself while rolling on the floor with baby oil (ya got to see this one) and lastly, i'm guessing since its cable, allowed (i think) to say a lot of words that any normal girl would blush saying, like vagina, and vagina juice, a few choice cures words, and the list goes on.

Basically, for me, and as of this moment anyway, i would like to label her as the Queen of Geek. To be able to mix stupidity, immaturity, geekiness, and sexiness all in one package. I salute you Olivia Munn, may your reign be long and hard.

At last, I've finally created my blog. After years and years of thinking about making one, after a couple of failed attempts (due to the fact that I'm a lazy S.O.B.), finally its here....So whats next?

For those who are reading this and looking at the title, its preity strange why a self proclaimed geek, would only now, just make a blog, well there are a couple of reasons for that. First off as I've said I'm a lazy S.O.B. secondly, and probably the main reason, being a geek doesn't necessarily mean computer addict, or and internet aficionado, there are all sorts of geekiness out there, like a TV geek, or a movie geek, or even a music geek. Generally I'm into a couple of geekiness, movies, TV Shows, a few gadgets, so i guess I'll write a few first before i specialize into something, if i do ever specialize in something.

So i guess thats it, theres nothing much here for now, so come back once in a while, I'll be changing a lot here, not to mention Summer in the states is coming up, so thats means Blockbuster Movies Galore. Check back for my reviews of the movies that are showing.
