For some people, 2008 is already gone. I’ve still got a few hours, and I’m spent the last bit reading various blogs “Worst Movies of 2008″ and decided that I would do the same.
So here is a list of movies in 2008 that I was disappointed with: Continue reading
I’ve had my Sony PlayStation 3 for a couple of weeks now. While I cannot say that I wish I had never gotten it, I can say that I am currently disappointed with this system.
It really doesn’t matter what message board or forum you visit, you’ll find people comparing the PS3 and the Xbox 360. And there will always be someone asking which is better. My response was always the same, “it depends on what you want it for.” Continue reading
It’s no secret to anyone that I recently switched to a Mac, and absolutely love it. While it does just about everything I could want it to do, I still had some issues with the way iTunes is set up… specifically sharing a single library among multiple users (i.e. me and the wife) or among multiple computers (gasp, a Windows system!).
The same holds true for iPhoto, and until I can get the issues worked out with that all of the family digital photos still remain on my Windows XP system under Google’s Picasa software. — Why isn’t this available for OS X yet??
Looks like my problems may be solved, if the latest Apple rumor is true. According to 9to5 Mac Apple may be working on a Apple Media Server similar to current offerings from HP.
Based on 9to5 Mac’s speculations, the device would essentially be an extension of the Time Capsule product line. Heck, if it allows centralized network storage of iTunes, photos, and movies I’d be happy. At that point, it really wouldn’t matter what else it offered for me.
I was pretty excited when I first heard about Mortal Kombat vs DC. The thought of Scorpion vs. Batman was just cool. Yesterday evening my step brother decided to pick up the game for the Xbox 360. While it was a fun game, I’m glad I wasn’t the one that spent $50 on it.
While it has a lot of nice visual details, and the story was decent, the game itself felt like it was missing a lot. For starters, there isn’t a lot of fighters. MK vs. DC only has 22 characters so it’s missing a lot of people from both universes. If you’re expecting to unlock additional characters, you’ll be sadly mistaken… there are two characters that can be unlocked by completing each of the story modes. Two, that’s it.
The only hope is that maybe, we’ll see additional characters added by way of downloadable content. After all, that is the new way of milking money out of the customers, isn’t it??
While fun, right now I couldn’t justify buying the game. Perhaps if the downloadable content adds enough at a fair price (i.e. free) then I might change my tune.
If you’re ever in the Brentwood, TN area and happen to like Sushi that I’d highly suggest you give Peter’s Sushi & Thai a try. My step father knows the owners and introduced me to the place about a year or two ago. Regardless of that, the place is just awesome. Don’t take my word for it, try it… though I’m sure you’ll love the place. However, if you want a second opinion, you might aught to ask Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban.
Friday night we were standing around waiting for a table, and who happens to walk in? That’s right… Nicole, Keith, and the rest of the family. Though I didn’t get to actually meet the couple, just getting to see a real celebrity like that was just cool. 
No, I didn’t bother taking a picture of them… that would have just been rude. To my surprise, I didn’t see anyone else doing it either.
Anyway, I hope they enjoyed their food… I know we did!
