no, not the phone. that little battery on the bottom

ive been looking here, there and everywhere on the net for decent battery extenders for iphones/ipads etc (powertraveller was a top contender) but all were quite pricey and also quite bulky! I found this from a random ebayer online for twenty bucks or so – chump change and a lot less than the 80 plus that a lot of other batteries you can find online. sure, this may only charge up once, but i can take this with me, chuck it in my pocket and not have to worry about lugging around something bulky and in the way compared to a lot of the others. i think the others would be handy if you were away on a trip and forget your charger, but something that can just extend your day, this is pretty handy. and cheap enough to buy a couple to leave in your bags/gadget pack.

This Isn’t something from the show – an honest to god, actual movie being made.

Good on pauly for getting this to happen. SBS have been far from helpful with a second season. Who knows, this movie could get commercial interests with the other stations if it does well

As found on Theverge – ( http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/22/2967017/watch-this-uncharted-movie-trilogy )

More proof that video games can be an art-form (hello, Ebert), the Uncharted series of games is a good example of cinematic storytelling. Someone’s put together the cutscenes and gameplay in a way you can watch it as it’s a proper film. With games like Mass Effect and Bioware getting short films and proper films released, i suppose it’s only a matter of time until someone looks at Uncharted to be a film….

(edit – nevermind. too slow. looks like it’s already been optioned and in talks now)

only took me twice as many months compared to the rest of the folks out there. this is why i can never play WoW anymore. its too much time that i don’t have.

opinions?

i liked the ending. i know people whinged and complained about how they felt betrayed, but reading god knows how many classic sci fi books in the past, i loved it. its almost classic pulp 50s scifi in its ending. sure, it might of been nicer getting some more endings and what happens to all, but the actual ending i liked. i didn’t expect my shepard (or any shepard) to come out of this happily ever after. im glad they went in this direction, though. part 3 was far too linear compared to the earlier games. you really only get a small amount of side missions per priority ones. i am aware that the galaxy is at war, but skyrim spoilt me somewhat and i enjoyed being able to explore different planets and getting to find new places. it tied up all the loose ends for me though so i just have to look at the game in a more dragon age 2 perspective. speaking of which, bioware need to hurry the hell up and give me something new. for the time being im going back to the beginning and playing as femshep, and getting rid of “her” this time. that was my biggest mistake playing through the game. Oh, and more skyrim quests. got a long way to go there.

If the mass effect movies eventually DO come out, whoo boy. its going to be good

Just reading this article about John Barrowman at an sci-fi expo in Chicago over the weekend where he accidentally mixed up his Doctors when talking about the show. When the crowd called him on his mistake, he had this to say..

The Olympic folk in London want Keith moon to perform for the Olympics. Anyone else see a problem with that?

As a delayed birthday present, I got myself the newest 1080 apple tv. As you can see from the photo, there’s a drastic size difference between the two. Why? Apart from the space saving, it’s handy to have the Netflix option on more than one piece of tech in the house (and it’s a hell of a lot easier to unplug and move the apple tv than it is the Xbox 360).

Probably the killer choice for me is the AirPlay mirroring. People are still asking “when are apps coming to this?” and until then, it’s easy enough to open up something on your iPhone/iPad and push it to the apple tv. Live streams like abc news 24, twit tv, al jazeera English. Even some apps are supported – iview, bbc’s iplayer. It’s such a handy option I’m genuinely thinking about later on down the track buying a cheap tv for my bedroom and just attaching another atv to its side. Sure, I won’t have free to air, but it’s very uncommon for me to have standard tv on anyways, and on the rare occasions I do watch normal tv I’m only a hop, skip and a jump away from other units.

For quite some time I was trawling the web for video transmitting hardware for this very problem (hello slingbox. How did that Australian launch go? Still haven’t seen a single unit over here…), I think I’ve found the solution right here. Now to save the pennies…. My dream home would have one of these and a sonos unit in every room

I love Quantic Dream. They’re a game developer company who keeps games interesting – they released the PS3 exclusive “Heavy Rain” a few years back – an almost interactive horror/thriller movie which truly gives you the choice about how the game ends. (Hurry up with the film!). Here’s a short film they’ve made which is completely rendered on the ps3 – not a new game, but using a new gaming engine that will run their next game. Beautiful little film, and it’s got a Asimov / Ghost in the Shell vibe as well. Worth a watch

Pretty smoooooth mashup between Adele and Daft Punk. Not a huge Adele fan, but this really suits her. And give her some collaborations – I’d probably listen more to her music, she’s got an amazing voice…
