No more smoking!

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

It is now official and very real. Smoking in public places is not allowed anymore in the province of Quebec. I present my condolences to every smoker out there that will have to grief their cigarette during break times or will have to bend to extraordinary circumstances to get their smoke. I won’t hide my [...]

The Last Stand is out!

Friday, May 26th, 2006

The moment I’ve been waiting for so long has finally arrived. The release of the third X-Men movies. Many consider X-Men: The Last Stand to be the final chapter of the X-Men series but I doubt there is any reason to conclude such a rich and profound comic based movie.

I’ll go ahead with my first [...]

Desperate Housewives

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

After all those years I never realized how much looks can really be deceiving. Just this week was the season finale of the second season of Desperate Housewives and believe I became an instant fan. It’s obvious that soaps are always over the top dramatic but this one is in a fact a good comedy. [...]

Da Vinci Code

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Ever since last year I was intrigued by the success of Dan Brown novel. When I had heard they were making a movie I decided I had to read the book first. A year went by and I missed that opportunity. I didn’t care much about the international success of the book becoming a movie [...]

Skype Unleashed!

Monday, May 15th, 2006

From now on, up to the end of 2006. SkypeOut calls made from US & Canada to US or Canada land line or cell phones are free. You read right! In order to make free calls you had to have two Skype accounts using their computer. You also had to pay a small fee to [...]

MGS4 Wallpaper

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

The lastest E3 gave us new screenshots of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. One of them had great wallpaper potential and I decided to keep it as simple as possible. It’s 1024×768 so it can fit most screen resolutions. The game will be released on the PlayStation 3.

Seven minutes of X-Men

Friday, May 12th, 2006

I’d call this a extended trailer. Tonight on FOX aired seven minutes taken from the upcoming movie X-Men: The Last Stand.

It pretty much shows three partial scenes, one where “the cure” is announced to the world and how the people from Xavier’s school react to it, and a second scene to see how the other [...]

Is it too early for HD gaming?

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

Let’s all agree that the next generation of gaming witch started with the Xbox 360 is truly amazing. Game play and characters have never been so realistic. The PS3 promises just as much if not a higher capacity to bring texture and multiple simultaneous animations on screen. However, I get a feeling that Nintendo’s Wii [...]
