Fresh Prince of Gotham

By Jeffrey | July 28, 2008

This is fairly well made for an amateur music video, but it can also be quite painful to watch. It’s a car wreck you can’t look away from!

Fair warning: I don’t think it spoils any scenes from the Dark Knight, but just in case, if you haven’t seen the film I would avoid anything even remotely related to Batman.

You Must See The Dark Knight

By Jeffrey | July 18, 2008

I, naturally, saw the midnight showing of the new Batman last night and it blew me away. It was an absolutely amazing film; but there were several “shock” moments of, “Did that just happen?!?”. And also, word of warning, it is one of the darkest films I’ve ever seen; it is definitely not something you’d want to see with small children.

Critics are also talking “Best Picture” for this film - unheard of for a comic-book movie - and “Best Actor” for Heath Ledger, which he completely deserves. He was simply incredible as The Joker. Nobody has captured the absolute psychopath image of The Joker like Heath did.

I highly recommend you all see this film if you’re at all remotely interested. Don’t question; just go.

There hasn’t been a movie I’ve seen multiple times in theaters since Pirates of the Caribbean, but I fully expected this one to be so when I bought my tickets a week ago I made sure to get multiple showtimes.

I’m seeing it again this afternoon.

Nintendo 64 Games In High Resolution Glory

By Jeffrey | July 7, 2008


A while back I did a guide on how to get your Playstation games to look stunning again, so now I figured it was time I balanced things out and wrote up a similar guide for the Nintendo 64.

Only this time, thanks to the power of emulation and high resolution packs, the games will look far better than what can be done with simple graphics shaders. Who needs the Virtual Console?

Do Solid State Drives (SSD) Use More Power?

By Jeffrey | July 2, 2008


Tom’s Hardware is running a story discussing whether the increased battery-life and lower power-consumption claims of solid state disks are valid. Turns out they don’t? How is that possible?

The results of our testing are a shock for anyone who cares about battery runtime, as our results prove unmistakably that battery runtimes do not increase when using flash based SSDs. As a matter of fact, most flash SSD products actually contribute to emptying your battery even faster! Mainstream flash SSDs — if they can even be called “mainstream” at prices of $500 and up — do not even provide convincing performance while they help to suck your battery empty quicker than before.
