Company of Heroes

Finally, i finished company of heroes. I was halted on like mission 12/15 for quite a long time, then i finally finished it. Its a great game. The graphics is just brilliant, and i also feel that the control that the player has over the game camera is great. From an rts camera view, you can zoom in all the way until you can see the faces of the infantry men clearly. The details on the tanks and the infantry is just amazing. When you zoom in enough, the facial details are amazing. Moreover, the body motions of the infantry is very realistic. Before, i wasnt really interested in ww2. But this game really got me to dig ww2 and what it was all about. The game starts off with the events at omaha beach, and you gotta play the role of allies in the campaign mode. Man, do you get one fucking hell of a beating when you are on omaha beach. Now i truly realise why there is so much fuss over d-day, cos you see the casualties and you are just shocked. Once omaha beach is over, you play 15 different missions where you have to use allied troops for various aims. Most of it is basically to control territories and force off the axis forces. The cut scenes are also fantastic. They are made in great detail, and the voice acting is also good. I was really pissed, cos when i saw the screenshots of cnc 3, it looked as if they had ripped off company of heroes, which i think they did. Anyway, i think this game really shows how far video gaming has come. From the time when we had doom, it is amazing that games have grown so much in detail. In the final mission, you finish off the german troops in the game, and it ends with a simple cut scene. I was actually expecting the final cut scene to be more elaborate. maybe they wanted to finish development quickly. Anyway kudos for company of heroes, its a hell of a game.

Fracture

This movie is just awesome. Its really really just simply awesome. I love to watch classic films, old ones shot in the 70s' and 80s' and just to watch all the movies that are classics. Thankfully, ie progress and watched a couple of those films. One of them was Silence of the Lambs, and if you really think that the shit zombie,gore,resident evil,28 days later,the hills have eyes and all that crap is scary, you can fuck off cos you havent seen no shit. Silence of the lambs had almost no violence, no gore, but it is definitely one of the most fucking scary shows you can ever watch. At the end of the movie, i promise you will have goosebumps, and you will be thinking 'what the fuck'. And the reason for that is anthony hopkins, it just that he is a damn fucking good actor. He plays a similar type of role in fracture, and i can definitely see he is putting all of the experience he has got to good use. He is so good at playing the psycho maniacal shit-scary dude. The plot in fracture was also good, and it was nice to see a duel between an established a-lister and a rising one, ryan gosling. I think ryan gosling definitely gave a good account of himself, and hopefully he learned something from the master. A lot of the great actors of the past couple of decades are being overlooked by the current generation, and young people nowadays look up to crap actors like brad pitt, tom cruise, vin diesel and all that total crap. The really fucking talented actors are the ones who have really carved out a name for themselves by acting in terrific shows, people like robert de niro, robin williams, anthony hopkins, jack nicholson. These guys are the real legends, i really encourage people to go find classic movies like schindlers list, one flew over the cuckoo's nest etc. They show the real class of hollywood. Anyway, fracture is a good movie, so go watch it.

Google Gadgets

I would like to thank google gadgets for all the add-ons you find on this blog. There is an amazing variety of google gadgets that people can add to their own personal websites, and some of them are really very cool. So far, on the blog, there is the national geographic photo of the day, the yoda speak, which is really cool, cos you just enter a sentence normally and it produces the same thing the way yoda will say it. then, there is the pac-man game i added which is also cool. Gonna be adding some more google gadgets, its damn nice.

Counterstrike 1.6

I have returned to the addictive counterstrike. Possibly one of the most low budget projects of all time, counterstrike is just a mod created by a couple of geniuses. I think that cs should have probably come out about 8 or 9 years ago. It is one of the most highest grossing online games ever. Amazing considering the average graphics, absence of any storyline, and the amount of glitches the game has. Yet, I have to admit it is one of the best damn games i have ever ever played. It is just so addictive and fun, and has become such a cult phenomenon people have been drooling over this game ever since it has been released. Sometimes, it can be really funny BECAUSE of the glitches, with player models going under the ground, skywalking and all that. Skywalking is really fun and annoying to other players. I remember times when i just skywalked throughout the round, irritating the guts out of the terrorist team players.
