Left 4 Dead

What do you get when you combine video games and zombies?  A very happy Tama-Chan!  To give you a sense of how amazing this game is I included the opening movie.

New Xbox Experience

November 19, 2008 General Comments

I’m a huge video game nerd and today was the launch of the new Xbox 360 GUI (Graphical User Interface).  I had been keeping up with its development, handled by Schematic, the people that did the famous interface you see in Minority Report.

Impressions

  1. Gorgeous and sleek design.
  2. Avatars rule!
  3. Better Marketplace navigation.

I admit the interface takes getting use to and it’s easy to get lost as you dive deeper but I think these issues can be easily addressed.

The most important take away is realizing the impact this will have on how we interact with our devices.  This is the first 3D interface in our living rooms that will be used by the general public.  Combine that with all the people using the Apple iPhone “touch” approach and the vision of the future depicted in Minority Report will become a reality.

My Avatar

I think he looks just like me, pretty creepy.

My Blueberry Nights

I’m a huge WKW fan and was crazy excited to see his latest film.  Perhaps my expectations were set too high cause i was really disappointed.  The film isn’t bad but it’s not on the same level as his other films. Below is the best line of the film and I admit it affected me deeply for personal reasons.

How do you say goodbye to someone you can’t live without?  You don’t.  You just walk away.  This was the best line of the film.

WKW knows heartache.

Flushing, Queens

November 16, 2008 General Comments

I haven’t been back a full day and already I had a date lined up. I should have known something was wrong when she was unwilling to head into the city.  Instead I was forced to trek out to Flushing, Queens.  Don’t get me wrong I like Flushing but it is not the best place for a first date.  To make things worse she brought her dog which single-handedly destroyed any chance of going to a restaurant or coffee shop.

Ten minutes into our conversation I realized she was a total air head and decided to call it quits. I apologized for wasting her time and set out to find a good hamburger. Which, in Flushing is as hard as finding water in a desert. Left no choice I hit up Burger King and felt like crap the rest of the day.
