I have much time on my hands in Berlin now so I’ve been to the movies. I watched two classics in a charming little theater in the Kastanienallee, Delicatessen and Taxi Driver and two current Hollywood blockbusters in the UCI Colosseum multiplex theater, WALL·E and Burn After Reading. I will not talk so much about the films themselves because that has already been done by people way more proficient than me. No, I will focus on my experiences around and inspired by the movies. With no spoilers, as usual.
A premiere here on the Promenade Blog: my first video post! And it’s a rant about the new Alone in the Dark by Eden Games. So if you can stand my voice and my thick accent when talking English then feel free to click the play button. If you prefer to read and click some links: No problemo, what is said can be read here as well. A weekend well spent…
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: No, I don’t hate the game, in fact it’s quite entertaining. But I needed to vent my anger that I am unable to handle the game controls well. And I die a lot!
I just came home from watching “The Dark Knight” in the UCI Colosseum in Berlin and I have to say: What a bunchload of crap! Really? No, of course not! This movie actually seems to me as one of the best super hero movies there can be — with a sophisticated story off the beaten tracks while staying true with the fans. Read on.
I just purchased a Wii - now didn’t we see that one coming from a mile away? And another wiimote. And a game additional to Wii Sports, namely Trauma Center: Second Opinion which actually was the reason for getting a Wii in the first place. Read the rest…
Ever heard of Gilgamesh? He is the hero of the world’s oldest epic. Gilgamesh becomes a hero on his journeys. That pretty much sums up the Simpsons movie I went to see with Lisa and about 50 other people yesterday. Sitting in the third row of the Royal English Cinema was a better idea thanks to the fairly big screen and the comfortable seats. A short report of our experience follows below. No spoilers, as usual.
If you want to see a pair of tits in a non pornographic context then take an arts class or watch art films. Lisa and I went to see David Lynch’s (not so) newest film INLAND EMPIRE (all caps) in the Rechbauerkino in Graz today (actually yesterday). Because these little artsy theaters don’t sell popcorn or nachos we went to the Cineplexx first, that was swamped with rednecks from the peripherals of Graz and got us a hunk of nachos with cheese and salsa for a bunch of money. Funny thing was that we even made it back downtown in time and got seats in the second row1. And then INLAND EMPIRE started.
My favorite PC gaming magazine, GameStar decided not to print cheats, tricks and hints for games anymore:
The internet has established itself as source for cheats and hints; you will find more up to date and more accurate walk-throughs at www.gamestar.de and on many other sites than possible in the magazine.1
That is another way of telling that printed media are sooner or later becoming extinct. That’s why I decided to take a look back into the wild and crazy 1990s and my personal experiences with PC-Gaming magazines. Read the rest…
Original: Das Internet hat sich als Quelle für Cheats und Tipps etabliert, auf www.gamestar.de und vielen anderen Seiten finden Sie aktuellere und ausführlichere Lösungen, als sie in einem Heft möglich sind. [back]
For those who haven’t noticed it yet: I’m a die-hard Hello Kitty fan and possess a very large collection of Kitty knick-knackery. That’s why I couldn’t resist purchasing the Hello Kitty Magazine today while shopping for groceries with Lisa. The following is a short review of this magazine and my test results. Yes, of course: There are tests in it. And a poster!
Yes, that’s right: Microsoft finally decided to redesign Solitaire for Windows since it’s first appearance in 1990. While downloading 539.1 MB worth of Updates I decided to write this short review. Now with pictures and hence even more pleasing to the naked eye. This is an updated version of the article I posted yesterday evening, but still I decided to keep its timestamp — the good ol’ times….
