Week in Tech | 6-5-2008

Well, here i go again on my own… I been busy lately, my leg is finally healing and i should be good to go come monday but this week i’m still unable to lift weights like i want. It’s progress i need to make once more –takes a while but worth it in the end. So, other than that..let’s see what’s new this week.

Chapter 2 of RvB-Reconstruction is up new this week. I love the series, and parts of it are brilliantly written, my fav. quote this week comes from Sarge at Red Base ..”..she’s cookin’ something up, and i gotta be ready. I hear her running training ops every night. I see them out there w/ their glow sticks and their tribal drum beats. oom-chika-oom-chika-oom-chika-oom-chika”. And, yet, this new series seems a bit lacking. I think they’re running low on ideas. Hope they don’t do it like Nintendo who beat the snot outta Mario every chance they get. I mean, really? Mario and Sonic at the Olympics…Seriously?

And the trend just seems to continue, Six Flags, while they are a great theme park name, are trying to create a video game. Yeah, umm, Rollercoaster tycoon never really took off, and that game was good. What makes them think they stand a chance? Then there’s the MGS4 game. /me sighs in dissaproval.

And, mad props to Crytek. They have a great premise for a new game, well, sort of a sequel but not really. The title is named Crysis Warhead. It’s essentially told from the pov of Psycho, aka Sergeant Sykes. I must say, i’m rather impressed by Crytek’s site. Unlike most other gaming sites, you’re not forced to search for a stop or mute button upon launching of the website; and it’s a very clean, very well done site, which makes sense, after all, they’re known for their graphics.

On a side note, to anyone who remembers Johnny 5. I came across this at Gizmodo. Some guy took the time to create a masterpiece w/ Legos. Take a gander at Johnny 5, Lego Style. What else, Lightning as a weapon. I think this is a briliant idea, and it’s about time technology allows for this sort of thing. 5-6 years until it’s in use is a bit long of a wait, but considering how rigorous the testing of weapons typically is, this is pretty good for what this weapon will mean to troops in iraq. I’m actually excited about this weapon. I can’t wait to see it in action.

Well, that’s about it for now. Oh, wait, almost forgot. FireFox 3 rc2 is out this week. Actually, came out yesterday. Don’t forget to upgrade. If you’re still using ff2, all i gotta say about that is…Why? if you like having memory for your other programs, upgrade. rc1 is excellent at memory management. Rc2? well, i’ll find out in a second. TTFN.
