This one is for the pocket less Bling-a-holic!

Admin — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:10:41 +0000

Its amazing how some people can come up with some weird products and still get away with it. Covered with 50 fake diamonds, more like rhinestones, the Diamante mouse can light up that old school system of yours. The funny thing is that this mouse when used excessively might stick those ‘diamonds’ up your palms due to the heat. So, thats no score. Another thing is that, for a mouse that has craft material all over it, 50.38 US $ sounds outrageous.

But if you are a hardcore bling-a-holic and still do not want blow a huge bazooka through your pocket, you can go for this baby.

Features

A standard-shaped desk mouse studded with dazzling white, fake diamonds.

Compatible with USB.

Suitable for ages 8 years+.

Size: 10 x 3cm.

GTA IV price and release date announced in India

Admin — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 09:44:20 +0000

GTA IV is all set to hit the Indian stores this April 29. That reminds me, for those of you who are writing the ‘competitive exams’, cheer up atleast you know you will get something.

By April 29th, I mean April 29th. You are probably wondering that it may take two days for it to arrive on the sub-continent. Well, think again. Thanks to e-xpress interactive we are getting it on the same day for both the consoles Xbox 360 and the PS3.

Also, a word of advice. Do not spend all that money in your pocket. Try to save it as much as you can unless your dad is willing to invest Rs.2499/- for a game on the Xbox 360 or Rs.2999/- for a game on PS3.

Those of you who are smirking away to glory just because you modded your console, too bad you won’t be able to play multiplayer. The smirk gone? Hey, its just a game. But it is an really exciting game. Mwahaha !

Good News! Demonoid to be resurrected!

Admin — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:42:22 +0000

Yes yes I know! It is exciting isn’t it? However, Former owner of Demonoid, Deimos has stepped down due to some preoccupations in his personal life. The Site will be run again under a new admin. This message was posted in the forums :

Hello Everyone,

It is with great sadness (and not a little relief) that I announce that I will be stepping down as admin of Demonoid, with effect from today.

Demonoid is currently suffering from a number of things, prime amongst these being my distraction with real-world issues, and so I have handed the reins over to a new administrator – a close friend of mine, which I trust completely and has the knowledge and time to take care of the site.

He will, in due course, be making his own announcements about the future of Demonoid. Of course, speculation over the future of the site is fun, but it is ultimately fruitless – you will all, in the near future, become aware of what the future holds. I trust that you will all give your support to the new admin as he finds his feet while he resurrects Demonoid.

Thanks again for your support in making Demonoid what it was and is.
Goodbye and good wishes – it has been a blast!

– Deimos

With its RSS reader already up, we can soon expect the relaunch of the site soon. Ladies and Gentlemen, They are back with a bang!
