There is a demo out now for Duke Nukem Forever. The game has been getting some really bad reviews. Was thinking is it really bad as they say. So I game the demo a try. The game does have some good graphic but there was a bit a choppiness when I was just walking round a room. Another graphic problem was when I died and it loaded up again. The textures disappeared, while some popped in after way too long. Zoomed in with weapon I had then they disappeared again. Now I know way the game got bad scores. The demo did have the Duke “ness” I remember from Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown. That was the PlayStation version of Duke Nukem 3D.

Posted in Review's with tags review, Sucker Punch, Sucker Punch DVD, Sucker Punch DVD Review, Sucker Punch Movie, Sucker Punch Movie Review, Sucker Punch Review on June 29, 2011 by getbent57 Was looking forward to seeing Sucker Punch because it looked very cool and Zack Snyder was behind it. Really like his other movies. Well I was disappointed. While there are lots of killer action scenes that are just pure awesome. The rest just falls flat. The begin was confusing a bit. It makes a be more scents a little bit more as the movie goes along. Next the awesome action stuff is great. The soundtrack is pretty sweet. That being said it seems to turn some the scenes into a music videos. Then the ending which was lame.
Wanted this to be a cool movie. Well it is a pass. While there are some cool things in it they just don’t make it worth watching. A rent if there is nothing else.

I have not seen the extended version of any of the three films so it will be nice to see them in High Def. According to the back of the box there is over 26 hours of bonus content. My guess most of that content might be commentaries. The box set contains 15 discs. There is lots of stuff to look at for sure. Will be watching it all for months to come. Wal-mart had a great deal. Got it for $60. Most place wanted much more than that.
Skype
Posted in Just something to say with tags Give Skype a Try, Messenger vs Skype, MSN Messenger vs Skype, MSN vs Skype, Skype, Try Skype on June 27, 2011 by getbent57 Gave Skype a try out last night. Over the years I have used MSN Messenger to have video chats. Should say try to have video chats. Most of the time it would not work right. Am so glad I gave Skype a try. It took only a few minutes to set up and it worked right way and it worked great. The picture was way better than Messenger as with the audio. Speaking of audio it is drop out a few times. I think it was an internet connection thing. Skype has been around for years. I am little late to the party but know I am on the bandwagon.

They are mostly on products and what not. There is a website that make they for free. In fact the one on the left was made using it. It is just a like to this blog. The site is called QR Code Generator. I think you can and link just about any thing. They are designed to be used with smart phones. I don’t have one of those. Found an app fro my iPod touch to test it out on. They are pretty cool.
