Wipeout HD
Wipeout HD is the latest installment in Sony’s futuristic, techno infused hovercraft racing series. Wipeout HD is more of a compilation of the PSP games, than a completely new installment. A lot of the tracks and ships will be found in the other games. However, what makes Wipeout HD so amazing is in its presentation. Wipeout is definitely a games that deserves all of that extra resolution high definition allows. This game is very crisp. The art style is very clean, but that doesn’t stop the ships from being rendered in great detail.
The looks of this game warrants the $20 alone, but you still get quite a bit for your $20. You’ll unlock vehicles and tracks through the single player campaign mode and once you get tired of that you can take it online and compete against other like-minded people. If you’re bored of racing you can, also, go into photo mode and take pictures.
The one thing that will always seperate Wipeout from similar games like F Zero is the music. The Wipeout series has always had a good amount of good electronica music to go along with its futuristic vibe. Wipeout HD is no exception and features a few artists like Mason and Kraftwerk. For those of you that don’t like that kind of music you can use the music on your PS3’s harddrive and create custom playlists for the game.
I suggest that if you own a PS3 to go online and pay the $20 for this game. It’s a great amount of fun for the price and Sony really should be rewarded for things like this.
Black Man in an Elevator
I first watched this a week ago. Apparently, they have a series of videos. You can check out and subscribe to their channel here.
Small towns
I’ve never lived in a small town, so I found this enlightening. I, also, learned that homosexuals have all the rights they want as long as they marry someone who is of the opposite sex. Who knew?
So what are small town values to you?
Reunited
Friday at work, an older man came in asked about something. I don’t actually remember what he was looking for, but what happened next was definitely something rare.
Another man approached him and asked if he was a certain person. He replied and said yes that’s me. The second guy told him who be was and the look on his face was like he just saw someone he had seen in years. Turns out they knew each other over fifty years ago when they were in the military.
That must be one of the most amaIng feelings in the world, finding an old friend so many years later.
Death Magnetic leaked!
According to an article on the 93X website, Metallica’s new cd has been leaked onto the internet. The culprit, is apparently a store in France that sold copies of the cd early. That by itself isn’t exactly big news. However, when the band’s drummer, Lar Ulrich, was asked about it he replied, “It’s 2008 and it’s part of how it is, so we’re fine. We’re happy.”
Very odd to hear from the guy that lead the way in bringing down Napster. Anyway, the cd is out there to get. I’m not saying you should download it, but it is out there.
That said, from what I heard, the only really bad song is their single “The Day That Never Comes.” So, if you were looking forward to the album, rest assured that their single isn’t a good representation of the album.
“Say Goodbye to Love” remixes
Kenna realeased three remixes to his single “Say Goodbye to Love” via his myspace.
To hear the songs you can either go here or visit Kenna’s myspace.
Herman Li is cool
Not exactly a fan of Dragonforce, but I don’t hate them either. I just thought this video was funny.
iPhone + wordpress
The wonderful people at wordpress have released their iPhone app. So far it seems pretty good. I just hope they add landscape support at some point.
