Game Preview – Tomb Raider (2012) *New Trailer

2011-06-03T06:39:00.001-07:00

Just Hours after it released, the new Tomb Raider CG Trailer is here!!

Tomb Raider (2012) is a reboot of the original, which stars a 21-year old Lara Croft.

“Fresh from academy and in search of lost relics, a 21-year-old Lara Croft journeys to an island off the coast of Japan aboard the Endurance, a salvage vessel helmed by Captain Conrad Roth. Before anchoring at bay, the ship is cleaved in two by an unforeseen storm leaving Croft separated from any other survivors and washed ashore. She must endure physical and emotional torture in order to survive the island.”

There have been no clear indication how the gameplay would be, if it will be similar to Crystal Design’s past Tomb Raider game (Lara Croft and Guardian of the Light), or it will be like the old tomb raider game or something like Uncharted.

A younger Lara Croft

It seems that the release date will be move to Q3 of 2012, as indicated in the trailer.

Here is the trailer:

Blog–Multiple Monitor setup, is it for you?

2011-06-01T08:10:00.001-07:00

I’m a bona fide Multi-monitor user, and for me, it is one of the most beneficial setup for PC Users. I pity the people who uses one monitor as they haven’t yet feel how uncanny and surreal the feeling a multi monitor setup will bring you especially for your work.

Time and time again, I have been asked of countless questions, why am I using multiple monitors, what are the benefits, why don’t I just use one and so on.

In this blog, I’ll try to answer the 6 most frequently asked questions concerning the dual monitor setup. Here we go!

2011-05-29T21:36:00.001-07:00

*Tune in tomorrow for Eijan’s Recommendation

I’m now Fucking back, Hail to the King baby!!

There have been tons of news happening during my absence, to ease my return, I’ll be showing you the list of TV shows that were renewed and cancelled, my condolences for your lost(s) .

*Fox had a genocide with their rookie TV shows as majority will no longer see the sight.

* I was disappointed Chicago Code was cancelled, it was one of a hell exciting show and my second favorite Police drama behind Blue Bloods. V’s cancellation was another disappointment as it had one of the best finale ever killing half of the regular cast.

Bad Move Fox!

Web Series–Mortal Kombat: Legacy Episode 2

2011-04-20T15:01:00.001-07:00

Jax and Kano awake gingerly from the explosion while the gunfight between Stryker's men and the Black Dragon clan continues. Sonya sneaks up behind three of Kano's men and maliciously kills them. She then enters a security control room. Upon observing Kano running from Jax on a closed-circuit monitor, she flees to find them.

Jax, still demanding to know where Sonya is being held, engages another fist fight with Kano, who continues to taunt him with threats against Sonya. This sets Jax off in a rage and he retaliates with increasing force. After savagely beating Kano into a stupor, Jax lands one final left hook squarely on Kano's eye, cracking the socket and dislodging his eyeball. Sonya arrives to see Kano unconscious and Jax resting. She takes out one final henchman but not before he tosses a grenade towards her partner. Jax rises and runs towards Sonya to keep her safe from the blast.

TV Series Review–Game of Thrones Episode 1

2011-04-19T05:54:00.001-07:00

*Might have some spoilers, be Warned

Ned Stark

What can I say, I was blown away with the opening sequence as if my imagination when I was reading the novels turned to reality. I was amazed how they depicted the Great Ice wall and also the land of Westeros especially Winterfell. * If you have a hard time knowing the geography of Westeros, it is basically like Italy with 7 kingdoms (Like Rome,Naples,Turin etc.), it has a wall on the north that blocks off other clans, and on the west across the ocean is Pentos were the heir of the Mad King resides. Think Westeros as Italy, the northern wall is somewhat the Rubicon which separates the Old roman empire from the Gauls and across the Mediterranean is Greece which is depicted as Pentos here. Some little history for you.

News–Rumor Wii 2, Codename: Project Cafe

2011-04-18T06:29:00.001-07:00

The biggest news in the gaming world last week was the rumors about Nintendo’s Wii 2, also known as ‘Project Café’. And maybe two of the talk about topics about it are its processor and its controller. According to rumors, Project Café’s processor is much powerful compared to the Xbox360 and PS3, it seems as no surprise to me because when I think about it, PS3’s CPU, CELL, a 3.2 GHZ microprocessor that was developed by Sony with IBM and Toshiba is already old and in fact, the one inside the PS3 is the first commercial model which is really under par with the new CELL processors being made today. The Xbox360 uses a CPU which is as powerful as the CELL but has an architectural difference compared to the CELLS as this one uses 3 cores vs. a single core for the CELL.

The Italian Plumber is again happy with this news

Eijan’s Recommendation–Opera Browser The Best Web Browser hands down (Also a Review)

2011-04-17T00:09:00.001-07:00

I recently changed browser from Orca and Chrome to just one browser which is Opera. I was looking for a browser that has the features of Orca/Avant that I really liked and the performance of Chrome. I really liked Orca (have been using it for 4 years) because it makes my browsing experience a lot easier with its address nickname features, its online password storage and mouse gestures. But with its aging engine (Firefox 3.0), I’m starting to feel its downside with the newer sites that uses the latest CCS and HTML commands and keeps on crashing with multiple tabs streaming videos (about 10 – 15 websites at once). I decided to move all my bookmarks and passwords to chrome because of its performance with the newer sites but I was quickly turned off because of the lack of features and stupid plug-ins.

Eijan’s Recommendation–Logitech G510 Gaming keyboard (Also Review!!)

2011-04-11T06:41:00.001-07:00

* Unboxing video is here

I was looking for a new gaming keyboard for a while now, I was really disappointed with my past keyboard, the OCZ Alchemy Elixir, it had faulty software with Windows 7 and just plain bad hardware design especially its polling algorithm.

So I was researching for keyboard, there are few simple rules I follow when buying a keyboard, 1) Never buy a Razer Product (I Simply hate Razer products, their product is over expensive, the so called feature(s) can easily be found on a cheaper hardware *and works much better than Razer's, Software and Hardware are faulty and does not work well) *Don’t believe me, ask the forums, not those Razer fan boy forums, of course they will defend Razer because they are the few who bought it and had to live with their poor choice. 2) It should have tons of Macro buttons, If you haven't use macros, you are truly missing out. 3) It should have a backlight, I rarely turn the lights up on my room. 4) It should have Media Control Buttons, I don't like having to exert myself to use a mouse then point the pointer to those small media buttons just to pause or stop a movie I’m watching.

A keyboard that meets my requirements
