This is something for anyone who enjoys comics, “The Song of Ice and Fire” or both. I just read the first issue of the newly started “Game of Thrones” comics and so far I like what I see. I must say if you’ve read the books or even if you watch the series, in terms of story line there’s basically nothing new in there. But still, the graphics are quite nice and this is generally a great way to visually review everything that’s happened so far.
And of course here’s the new fabulous Satori demo, which totally made my week. I must say this was specially a breath of fresh air seeing that out of about a good 30 or so [recent] demos that I watched in the past week, this was one of the very few [about 3!] that I actually enjoyed.
As it is the usual case with Satori, this is demo is quite a mental trip. One unusual side effect was that the first time I saw it, after I finished watching the demo I noticed that my heart beat had risen quite a bit. Part of that might be due to the unusual and very effective soundtrack. Check it out! =) Of course it’s best if you download the real time from here and watch that. 😉
Here’s something that’s been eating up a lot of my time lately. LEGO Digital Designer is an application by LEGO, which you can use to virtually build whatever you like, using all the LEGO pieces ever made. Yes, huge collection of pieces. That itself is something that made me a very very happy girl. But the fun doesn’t end there. Once you’re done building, you can actually order what you just built! Isn’t that fabulous? =D
So here you can download the app. Enjoy the addiction! ;D
Time for another ASM2010 favourite! =) I was previously informed that Satori was going to have a new demo for ASM, and I was waiting in anticipation to see it. When finally the demo showed up on the ASM TV stream, me and a bunch of friend, as expected, went “Whooohooohooow…. haaaaaaa….. aaaaaaaa…. woooooooo …. wooooohooooooooowwwwww …. hoooooo ….. waaaaaaaaa….” =D
I’m not going to say anything more. In fact I can’t, even if I want to. It’s completely impossible to describe something like this in words. So if you haven’t had a chance to see this super fantastic awesome demo yet, here it is. Check it out! =)
Today a friend said to me “you should really see the Robin Hood movie, it’s right up your alley!”. And I said, “oh it totally is, and I’ve already seen it!”. And he said “but… but… but… but… but there’s nothing about it on your bloooooooooggggg!!!!”. Well, you can imagine the utter SHAME I felt at that moment! =P Oh my GOD, how did I manage to not write anything about my all time favourite version of Robin Hood?? So let me fix that now…
Yes, a couple of weeks a go we went to see Robin Hood. And I’m glad that despite a few discouraging comments that I heard / read about the movie here and there, I did go to see it. I have to say I don’t understand what’s not to like! In fact I enjoyed watching the movie IMMENSELY! =) The small but important modifications made to the plot felt like they were exactly what Robin Hood always needed to turn into a most interesting story. Since I know many of you haven’t seen it yet, I’m not going to say much more… but I just have to say that everything about this movie was very impressive. The cast were the best possible, and the the whole mood and feel of the movie really worked for me. So don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise…. and go see the movie for yourself. =)
This has to have a blog post. =) I’ve been listening to this album for the past couple of days more or less non-stop… and I love it. Very nice collection of “bass-driven sounds from all over the world”. Totally recommended. Check it out! =)
Here’s another serious competitor for ASIMO. I just came across this article on IEEE Spectrum and was pretty amazed by how natural some of this robot’s moves are. And it actually looks pretty neat too! The wrist + finger movements / control impressed me the most.
A while ago I wrote here that I was no longer certain whether or not MS Courier is still going to come to reality. Well, happily, I just saw this article on Engadget, with some new news on Courier. Apparently this very neat gadget is very much in development, and below you can get an idea of how it will look like. =) YAAAAAAY! Honestly I’m impatiently looking for this one to arrive, I totally want [well, more like need! =))] one!
