Quake Live

Well, it finnally took off!
beta.quakelive.com

Try it, this is the birth of something new. Its not everydays that you see, and play, in browser a full fledged, fast paced action First Person Shooter. The download of the msi installer is ridiculous small(3-7 Megs depending on your favourite web browser), the application it self is somewhat bigger: my install takes up 280 Megs after installed, but thats triffles in this age of terabyte storage capacity.

So far I've found out that i keep sucking at this game, after all this years - not that I excell at others, but i consider myself a standard FPS player. Perhaps on a better screen resolution I may improve my accuracy, and win ration... perhaps not and I am just a noob at this games. Dunno. When my 22'' inches comes back from repair i might come to a conclusion on this issue. Nevertheless how bad you are it is STILL gratifying to perform a Gauntlet Humilliation on the board leader. You can see more of me and my performances on this game:

Funny fact: no! this post wasn't written on a wii, but I've run this game without performance issues on a laptop equipped with:

Intel Pentium M 1.3GHz,

15'0'' XGA (1024x768 , in browser resolution: 640x480, just like the 90's eh?)

512 DDR SDRAM

Pretty cool! Wasn't expecting such a good performance, or even a boot, on this rig.

the True Reason why Leipzig Gaming Convention got canned!

As you migh have heard of, Leipzing Gaming Convention got canned and shifted to Cologne.
One might think that Cologne may have changed the dates of its new gaming Con, to the likes of Leipzing in order to offer more gaming geekiness, but here in LAWGi we know better. They did it just to save the gaming communit from awkard moments...like the one that you can see below...

enjoy...?

FantasPorto 09

The time is nigh! We're just but a few days away from the movie festival about fantastic cinema - Fantasporto.

Highlights for this year go straight to :
Tokyo Gore Police - japanese comic gore movie

The Chaser - don't eff with Korean movie industry

Takut 'Faces of Fear - hey we can do Horror in Indonesia too. Seriously we can!

Hansel and Gretel - seriously, dont eff again with the Korean movie industry, else we pick up german horror stories turned pretty by Disney and we scare you to death

Der Todesking - Death is unleashed, now in germanic. Great Expectations on this one

Pradolongo - ahora me quedo a penzar que este es el, probabelmiente, la mejor promeza de lo Cartaz, eso e que no se hablar, siquer Galero. Note to self about this one "Contains eventually shocking scenes". should be a hardball, but ill end up seeing it everyway.



It kicks off next monday with a day consecrated to K. Dick, sporting the awesome Blade Runner followed by the terrible The Island - not that i don't like MacGregor and Alba, but .. "C'moooon!" The Wrestler, Che, Adam Ressurected may be the main atractions but I'll probably skip'em all to catch a glimpse at the more obscure ones. Everything is rolling out to be another two weeks full of cinema.

Sad news was seeing just a while ago, that the 2010 edition of the Festival is dangerously threathened due to lack of funding. double shame because it will be, the 30th edition of it.

Not necessarily funny

Keeping in the line of thought that a picture is worth a thousands words, and that, perhaps, a video is worth one times 24 times the number of seconds of the aforementioned video, then this next video would be worth of 3 216 000 words. Or not if you consider MPEG codificatin, but i digress.

The.... acute? sense of humor of Hey Ash! Watcha Playin? Now in Smash Brothers format.


Super Smash Brothers: Brawl: now fixed, really!






Since I am editing it already ...

Check out another video, not necessarily funny for everyone i know, but what can I say.. I love Anthony Burch video montages and Ash's very own weirdness. Lovely duo!

These videos relate to :
This post right here from a friend of mine, that is currently gaming on Smash Brothers,
Layton and the Curious village, is what I am currently hooked on to on the DS. It started from the quick puzzle solving while on the short trip to work, to the arrive home and solve puzzles with my girlfriend, who, by the way, has a natural sense to solve them!

Street Fighter IV One Handed Match!

Yup! He is a jerk!

watching history

Sunday as a busy day.

Woked up early to catch the beggining of the Australion Open Final: would Federer took over the awesome 14th Grand Slam prize for the very first time on tennis history or would the spanish ace, Rafa, would foil, once again, the swiss machine? First set was very nice to see, with Rafael Nadal securing it on the TieBreak.

funny fact; the rest of this post is edited on a Wii!

Played a wonderfull football with my college buddies; won the match; quick-hitched back home to still catch a glorious 4th set, filled with unforgetable points. In the I missed Federer's emotional breakdown, during the awards ceremony - writing with the wiimote is tiresome! Its being harder and harder to the swiss put a stop on the spanish toro. Lets see how the rest of the season unfolds. my revelation is Verdasco.

on late night I've watched the Superbowl, courtesy of ESPN America, and boy it was worth it. STELEER'S did a stupendous performance, Big Ben proved himself to be a leader and a deliverer. Fitzgeralld did a super game supported by the trusty? Kurt warner that throwed the all record breaking Interception to Harrison. What a night. The half time show brought Bruce Springstenn and the E-Street band to the center of the field, where he showed on how to ram the camera man with its crotch on ill timed knee slide...look it up on the tube. Glory Days and lots of fireworks on a show to remember.

Wii have a problem..loggin out
