Sharing daily insights as seen through the filter that is my life.

'Kara' From Quantic Dream

'Kara' From Quantic Dream

Truth be told there will be allot of cool things coming out of this year’s GDC but this new 7 minute tech demo from Quantic Dream of ‘Kara’ has really blown my socks off when it comes to my gaming itch. This clip manages to show enough emotion from the Kara character in such a short period of time that I found myself pulling for her survival.

Netflix Joining Cable?

Netflix Joining Cable?

I saw this report the other day talking about the fact that there are strong rumors swirling around Netflix looking to join a cable provider as one of their on demand channels. Which would be an interesting reversal of direction to say the least considering how much they have thrived as the poster child for the anti-cable solution.

SimCity 5?

SimCity 5?

SimCity fans rejoice because in 2013 you will be getting your first new SimCity game in 2013 and I like everyone else who is a fan of the series is hoping that this will be more in line with the original SimCity and not a Societies revisit. EA Maxis is the studio behind this project based on the trailer there looks to be some real hope for this game.

Facebook IPO

Facebook IPO

The speculation over the eventual announcement that Facebook will be joining the stock market any day now with their IPO announcement. To put this into perspective as to what this will probably mean for those luck investors that will be able to get in on this IPO the only real comparison that I can make would be to another online giant which is Google.

Soul train

Soul train

Just saw the news today that the creator of the Soul Train dance show has died today of an apparent suicide. Don Cornelius had used the American Bandstand show as an inspiration for the Soul Train show which ran in syndication for an unprecedented 35 years. Regardless of the issues surrounding his death the man was an American icon and innovator that has left an incredible legacy allot of which can still be seen on DVD’s and Youtube clips.

Political Web

Political Web

Oh what a tangled web it is to try and follow along with politics in the country. Not only did Rick Perry announce that he was dropping out of the presidential race but he stated that he would be backing Newt Gingrich. This at a time when Gingrich is gaining in the poles on Romney in South Carolina which is coming up on their republican vote soon.

iBooks 2

iBooks 2

So Apple is looking to do for the education system in this country the same thing that it has done for the music, movie and mobile phone industries. Which is to revolutionize the way things are done and how they will be done for future generations. Imagine if you will children going to elementary and high schools without physical text books.

Prometheus Trailer

Prometheus Trailer

I have to say that I usually like the stuff that comesĀ from Ridley Scott either in the movies or on the small screen but probably my favorite stuff that he has ever done has been the original Alien movie and Blade Runner. So when I first heard that he was going back to the Alien world to make a prequel of sorts, needless to say I geeked out all over my keyboard ;-)

Nintendo 3DS Buyers Remorse?

Nintendo 3DS Buyers Remorse?

It appears that the Nintendo 3DS has managed to whether the early storm as the sales numbers have picked up in the last couple of months. I have to admit though that when Nintendo announced that giant price reduction a mere 6 months after the 3DS came out that I was about ready trade the dam thing in.

Sabbath Is Back

Sabbath Is Back

What’s up webfolk? Wow there was a very nice surprise today in the world of heavy metal music as the expected announcement that the original members of Black Sabbath are going on tour in 2012. Which is great news in itself but then Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward announced that they are going to put out an all new album in the fall of 2012 as well.
