Yesterday Apple had it’s announcement and preview of the 3.0 iPhone software. It introduced a lot of new things (many of which I thought would never happen on the phone) so let’s go through some of the key points: Read the rest of this entry »
Apple is announcing its plans for the 3.0 edition of the iPhone operating system tomorrow. I’m sure there will be a post here about it so if you don’t see it on the two million other websites that will talk about it then have no fear, fakepixeltrees is here! Read the rest of this entry »
So Resident Evil 5 came out this weekend and I finally got a chance to actually sit down and play it for a bit. While the storyline so far seems a bit soft compared to previous installments the game play and graphics are definitely there as well as the overall creepiness. The only major problem I have with the game is that, unless you’re playing co-op your partner is more useful as extra bag space than she is as an actual partner. She’ll shoot when she feels like it and if you’re being attacked by an enemy she may or may not help you. This is a slightly bigger improvement over Resident Evil 4’s buddy system with the President’s daughter (since all she did do was run, die, and help you with puzzles) but only slightly.
Cooperative is definitely the way to go with this game but even in single player mode I’m still enjoying it and feel as if it gives the game more challenge since you have to manage both inventories (which means giving each character health, weapons, and adequate ammo) and you have to struggle to keep her alive (as well as yourself since the game is tailored to two people) through the game. This then gives you more things to think about and forces you to make some tougher decisions on how you want Chris and Sheva to act. Read the rest of this entry »
The Internet, since I’ve started out on it (oh so long ago it seems in the 90’s), has changed drastically in its reasoning for existence. It’s strange to think back on the different incarnations and to now realize that most businesses and most people’s lives wouldn’t be able to exist without this “series of tubes”.
Back when the internet first started it was simply there. No graphics (No graphical user interface, either) just command lines that were mostly used by businesses and universities in simple processes and were more difficult to comprehend than more recent versions so people never took the time to learn it. Those that did were coveted for their abilities (and then laughed at behind their backs because they were learning something that wasn’t necessary back then). Read the rest of this entry »
It’s Thursday and now all of the weekend buzzing over Zack Snyder’s newest movie,” The Watchmen” (an adaptation of the Hugo Award-winning graphic novel), has finally subsided. Now that those who were as rampant and excited to see it as me have probably already the topic seems like a safe subject to write on without fear of completely spoiling it for those that would be angry at me for doing so. For those that are unsure if you should see the movie either because you’ve never read the comic or you’ve read the comic and are unsure if it stays true to its roots (and you’re afraid you’ll be more angry than entertained) here are a few reasons (in no particular order) why you should in fact pay your dues and go see it:
I shouldn’t have to say this but WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
