Music / Elvis (the UNDEAD) is back in the biulding?

« on: 02 November, 2015, 08:32:51 AM »

Just been informed Elvis has new album with a philharmonic orchestra,
out for Christmas of course.

whilst i will likely buy a CD for an older friend,
whom would prefer vinyl to be fair,
I have to ask has zombie culture meets marketing truly invaded everything........

Film & TV / MR Robot, free on Itunes any one watched this

« on: 22 October, 2015, 05:13:43 AM »

Itunes offered ep 1 free, i was pleasantly surprised, Early Dexter style narrative, computer geek, slightly bonkers or just not able to fit in, dark undertones, some near to the bone statements about socail media. I shall be downloading the next three, to give it reasonable run,
not sure if it made it very long or is a sleeper hit,

any one else into this show.

Film & TV / the Left overs

« on: 25 September, 2014, 01:49:21 PM »

anyone talking about this?

damn its dark!!
2% of worlds population disappear in an instant.

story picks up three years to the day later,

a cross section of america in a tv show,
Cults, haters,non violent actions, inactions, flawed viewed, dysfunctional families,protests,drugs,poor schooling, one parent families,politicians and armed malitia.
well thats episode 1!!!!

I am hooked, either this is the next walking dead as in BLOODY HELL this is great.
or its all going to hell in a hen basket in few weeks.
but right now its a WOW.

plenty of brit actors once again pepper the screen.
worthy of your download space.

Film & TV / INTELLIGENCE . it is M.A.C.H 1 updated

« on: 02 February, 2014, 10:18:14 AM »

new show USA, on iTunes and other  interweb thingy things

top solider, implanted with a chip, that has pretty good 4G coverage, offering intel on all he sees,using the internet.

decent pilot program, budget for the show looked solid, with some highly paid chinese and cantonese stars, plus a couple of USA tv stars, which suggests contracts and so forth.

ME I AM IN.
how is it like M.A.C.H 1
in a similar way ROBOCOP was Dredd on so many levels.
worth a download, i think this one is for us.

No spoilers, but!!! this could have been a 2000ad character with ease.

Games / The one or the 4? Hive mind guide me

« on: 17 January, 2014, 12:32:56 PM »

Offer guidance the xbox one or the PS4
As Devons Mummy will state either or not both...

Titan falls and Halo have an edge for me at this point. So leaning to the ONE.
Live is big part of our game playing if that offers any strength either way

Show the path mighty board.

Games / Star wars Kinect are we impressed yet?

« on: 31 March, 2012, 03:17:33 AM »

launch party event in Singapore rest of world four days prior to April 3rd launch, max online exposure.

VERDICT.........

WE ARE!!!
its not overly adventurous, lots of gimmick including dance? ? which i am sure i will never play, (unless house is empty.

but overall, bloody fun, some easy some ok.
 HELL YEH! light sabre fight,
we wanted to be able to use our motion sound light sabers, which we purchased for our children as gifts, and have yet to allow them touch.

question was raised,
MAN SAID YES IF YOU WANT TOO. no demo, but crowd there to evaluate the game for their children where generally happy with response.

anyone else tried yet.
pre-orders comes with mini figure. (no word on special download content for pre order mentioned) normally does though.

Games / Gaming shops, gone with the next generation?

« on: 10 March, 2012, 07:24:05 AM »

Noticed that GAME in the uk was in trouble.
so thought i would ask the question.
 the next generation of consoles which are very likely to go CLOUD. will this be the death Knell for game shops, in the way the Record/CD shop has all but disappeared, given HMV are also in big trouble.

I like the physical game, BUT I cloud all my music these days, so the jump to my console doing the same is not a big issue.
am i truly incorrect, or is this the beginning of the end for such physical medium resellers, Book shops also suffering of course.
