I stole some time...

Some days, I get some time, and then I can do some things, such as maintain a mildly popular blog. Today, I will post some things, you will look at them and rejoice in their wonderfulness.


Skate

What follows could be a look into the new standard by which all skating games could be measured. EA is touting this game, Skate, as the Tony Hawk killer. It's entirely possible, only time will tell. The actual gameplay footage is pretty stellar.




An Actual Fire Fox

It is fucking ugly, but, since it's named after the greatest browser on the planet (lol), I won't fault it too much.

And, really, it's not that ugly.


Honest First Date Answers

It's not exactly a unique concept, but it's still funny to watch.





Did I mention this yet?

Maybe I did, but if I didn't, Microsoft has actually come up with something that looks pretty amazing. It's Photosynth, which is a program that... well, let me quote their site:

Our software takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and displays them in a reconstructed three-dimensional space.

With Photosynth you can:

* Walk or fly through a scene to see photos from any angle.
* Seamlessly zoom in or out of a photo whether it's megapixels or gigapixels in size.
* See where pictures were taken in relation to one another.
* Find similar photos to the one you're currently viewing.
* Send a collection - or a particular view of one - to a friend.

I've been itching to find time to try out the tech demo, I really want to re-create my home on my computer for no reason other than the fact that I can. If I ever get around to it, you can be sure that I'll talk about it.


Rag Doll Kung Fu

Jim present me with a copy of Rag Doll Kung Fu, and I have to say that it's the stupidest game I've ever become addicted to.

You can pick it on Steam for $15 bucks, I'd encourage you to do so... At least download the demo, which is free, and see what I'm talking about.


That's it...

For the moment, but I always find my way back, like the dog you keep driving to the woods and leaving behind... he keeps coming home, more mangy than the last time. Then you shoot him and bury him in the back yard, and when he ends up at the foot of your bed again, you know the Zombie Apocalypse is upon you! Wait... what was I talking about?
