Taken for granted?

Not entirely unexpected, not exactly unhappy, just a realization of what has been nagging me for a while now. Some things cannot be helped when you decide to close your eyes and listen to your heart.

Decided to pass up on mambo, and somewhat regretted it. I heard that it was pretty good, plus there was some Hennessy event at Velvet Underground with free flow brandy to boot. Dammit! Tried to make up for it by downloading a whole bunch of mambo songs and creating a new playlist to blast music with. The result was well worth the effort, as my cravings for retro music was more than satisfied.

The Nintendo Wii is slated to be release in the US on 19th Nov. The what? The wee? The doubleyou aye aye? The doubleyou two? Yes the name is ridiculous, but the concept looks ingenious. It looks so bloody fun la. Check out the video man.

In first person shooters, it is often possible to aim an explosive weapon at your feet in order to take advantage of the explosive effect to jump higher. It is a crude but effective tactic, present ever since the first game with a rocket launcher.

These guys have turned this maneuver into an art form. Check out how they are able to fire off 4 to 5 rockets while hurtling through the air and get them all to land at the same spot where they themselves will land. Bonus points for the extremely cool editing and music.


Yet another beautifully done machinima film. Imagine a huge flock of birds flying in unison across the sky, except replace the birds with 1000 virtual cars running around a small town. Set to Moby, no less.
