windows music mash-up

And here I thought I was sick and tired of hearing the same old SFX from Windows, and viola - I stumbled upon this genius of a work.

Composed entirely of sounds from Windows 98 and XP, the end result is nothing short of amazing. Yeah, its that good.

Kudos to SomethingUnreal for creating something great out of nothing ^^;

i believe i can fly

Ok, I admit I don't play COD4 online but the single player campaign alone was probably the most immersing FPS I've ever played in a long long while.

Still, I never knew that you could kill someone with a flashbang if you threw it hard enough. Ouch.

this is your captain-to-be speaking

Any wannabe-pilots for the A380 can get their first shot at the cockpit with this pretty awesome interactive website.

Still worth a look even if you haven't once dreamed of having your callsign as Maverick ^^;

VR-Wii FTW!!!

Now here's another reason to get a Wii and start playing around with it.



Pretty mind-boggling no? It kinda reminds me of this cop game I saw at the arcades where the player actually has to stand on a mat holding a light gun. It plays exactly like Time Crisis but to hide you literally have to move your body downwards, making for some more intense gameplay - or more hilarious scenes depending on whether you are the player or not ^^;;

me, myself and I

I recently stumbled upon this really unique Japanese game while getting my usual dosage of gaming news from Gameaxis. Named Cursor * 10, this flash applet basically has you literally moving your mouse cursor from one level to the next while its life counts down to zero at the bottom right of the screen. When your cursor does 'die', you start all over from level 1 again - but this time you have a little help from your ghost which does exactly the same thing it did. Sounds downright bizarre but - well, you just have to try it for yourself ^^;;

coin-op marching band

Hmm, it's been awhile since I last posted but that's to be expected because *drum roll* - I've finally got my new Viewty! I've been eyeing the phone for quite awhile now since my 3-year-old K750i was finally giving up on me. Even though I'm not a huge fan of LG phones since my friends all told me they suck, the Viewty somehow managed to lower my sense of skepticism (must be that 3-inch touchscreen lol). Anyway, that's that - it feels pretty good to finally own a new phone after two years of national service where cameras are not allowed due to the possibility of a security breach. Yeah right.


Speaking of drum rolls, these guys could probably do it better :



Being a avid gamer myself, this performance sure brought a smile to my face. Now, if only I could get the school bands in Singapore to do something like this..

ultra HD anybody?

Just when the world is looking on at the unfolding HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray drama, this rabbit gets pulled out of the hat :

TOKYO (AFP) - The Japanese government will begin a joint project with private companies to develop technology for next-generation ultra high-definition video, a daily newspaper report said Monday. The communications ministry also aims to begin broadcasting with the system in 2015 and internationally standardised the Japanese technology, the Yomiuri Shimbun said without citing sources.

The technology, to be called "Super Hi-Vision", could show images of about 33 million pixels, 16 times more than the present Hi-Vision technology, a high-definition TV technology developed by public broadcaster NHK, it said.

The ministry was expected to spend 300 million yen (2.7 million dollars) on start-up research starting from the fiscal year in April, it said.

No comment on the report was available from the ministry on Monday, a public holiday in Japan.

Looks good no? No, I meant the TV of course..

how to win Guess Who in one move

I guess nobody plays Guess Who nowadays, with the advent of TVs, computers and what not, but it's still a pretty nifty trick IMO - provided your opponent's character is Anne of course.

literally cool

Only found in Japan of course, but it's not as if it would have much use in hot-as-hell-all-year Singapore -_-"
