Korzus ~ Discipline of Hate Mini Metal Review

Korzus is one the bands that started the craze of Brazillain Thrash Metal scene back in the late 80's and early 90's. Finding some their older albums is a bit of hard work, but you can find their newest album on itunes or amazon.

Point is, if your like Thrash Metal, then you will like Korzus. In Discipline of Hate, the album is fulled with great guitar work and solos. Even some of the vocals are interesting, like when they sing the main verse in "Truth" or sing "Raise your Soul".

So be sure to check out this album if you like Brazillain metal or just fast heavy metal.

Is Christmas Evil?

As the Holidays are coming up, I wonder to myself if Christmas was a good thing or evil? It does bring families together, but it seem's to a lot more harm then good.

First off, the advertising is horrible at this time of the year. I hate all those stupid car ads, like who buys a car for someone at Christmas. Unless your rolling in dough, that just doesn't happen.

Plus, poor families are blasted by this stuff. Their kids see all these ad's with families and tons of gifts and expensive things. So what do the Mom and Dad do, they either buy gifts and starve to make their child happy, or disappoint them. I don't know about you, that is downright sad.

Corporate and company's love this type of year, cause they can use it to make you feel like you have to buy more stuff then you already need. Think about it, you are living just fine today, do you really need 2000 dollars of stuff just to make you happy. You could use some of that money to donate to someone or help a cause. But corporate wants their big fat rises, and thanks to them, they help turned Christmas evil.

Christmas Devilry?

And what is up with the fact that we are celebrating some friction characters birthday? You think we would have moved on from that as a nation. I mean, its ok for some people to do religion holidays, but for those who don't believe in it, but celebrate the holiday anyway, should be ashamed of them-selfs.

Why does Christmas over shadow Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a real nation day where America was discovered. Shouldn't that get more importance over some fake made up beliefs?

What do you think? Does Christmas do more good? Or more Evil?

Another Horror Nintendo 3DS game announced!

Shinigami Oni is a newly announced horror adventure game made by Digital Works Entertainment. In Shinigami Oni, your goal is to wonder around a complex city where you must find the God Of Death. It sounds like a cool story, unlike your typical zombie or vampire experience. Other then that, not to many details about Shinigami Oni have been released. Let's that it gets a US release.

Judging from early reactions, Shinigami Oni seems to offer a different type of horror experience.

Final Cut Studio 4 Predictions

For those of you who know about Final Cut and who edit video, then you know how awesome Apple's Pro editing software can be. But there has been much worried panic and rumors spreading about the future of Final Cut Studio 4. Some believe that Apple is going to be dropping Final Cut Studio, or dumbing it down to a more friendly consumer base level. But I don't think Apple is going to give Final Cut, the uh, Final Cut just yet. Here's why.

Final Cut Studio 2 was mind blowing, but can 4 bring the awesome?

Apple has to many Pro users: If apple kills all of their pro software, then who is going to buy their MacPro and Macbook pro machines? Since they are still supporting and updating their High end computer's, it wouldn't make to much sense for Apple to kill Final Cut, which is one of the big reasons why many people buy a MacPro. 

Steve Jobs has hinted at something: For sure, Steve Jobs reply to a email saying that a new update was coming. But the question is, what kind of update? Will it be the high end professional editing that we expect, or some lame imovie gimmick. If Steve Job's still has some sense in him, it should be the high end professional editing that we expect. 

Release Date: I pinpoint the release of Final Cut Studio 4 to happen sometime within the first half of the year. According to some, it will come out early 2011, but I wouldn't hold my breath. But I think we will at least hear something before April, or by at least the end of the summer. 

Features: We all know that Apple is falling behind Adobe and Avid, so Final Cut Studio 4 is going to have to pay catch up. I think the most important thing that will be improved on is Speed, and perhaps a new interface. At least one of the two should arrive with Final Cut Studio 4.

Hopefully next year will be a better year for Apple Pro user's. Here's to wishing that Final Cut, gets many more upgrades in the future.

The Tourist Review ~ Depp and Angelina try, but the script doesn't hold out

Isn't it great to see a movie with Johnny Depp with no make up on his face. (Like in his many last films with Tim Burton) The Tourist tries to draw you in with its star power, who doesn't know Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. They both are able to pull off pretty good acting in this film. But while The Tourist does have star powers, it sinks a little bit with it's plot.

The movie begins with people watching Angelina Jolie's every move, when she receives a note that instructs her to board a train and find a man.

The note is from Angelina's wanted boyfriend, and he wants her to find someone to distract everyone off his trail. This is where Johnny Depp comes into play, and from there come misunderstandings and Johnny Depp being hunted by a mafia.

Angelina has a heart and didn't think her boyfriend would let it go as far as it did, so she decides to help him. From here begins a confusing relationship which I didn't really fell the chemistry. Johnny Depp (or Frank as his character is called) fells in love pretty fast. In fact, I don't even know if the two characters in the film have much in common.

Aside from this "Love at First site" flaw, there are also some plot holes in the story itself. I don't want to spoil the ending, but something happens that is never explained. And Johnny Depp likes to appear and find places he wants to go very easily.

The plot also has a bit of a slow start. But besides that, there are a few good chase scene's and the ending did keep you in suspense. The cinematographic was done well, and the music is your average film score. Overall, if you don't mind the plot holes, the rushed relationship, or a slow start, then you might be able to enjoy Depp and Angelina's performance together.

***** Stars out of Five. 


Warning Depp Fans, there are a few scenes where Depp is adorable.

Warning Angelina Fans, there are a few scenes where she does look hot. Her hair is always pretty much perfect.

5 Reasons why Google Is better then MobileMe!

It's the battle of the syncing software, with Apple facing off with Google to win over how you sync your online life. Should you shell out 100 bucks to use Apple's mobileme, or go with Google's services? In my experience, here are 5 reasons why Google blows MobileMe out of the water.

1. Google Is Free ~ If your not made of money, this a clear winner here. Plus you get almost all of the features of MobileMe. Contact syncing, email, calendar and photo sharing.  Of course, there is limited space for picture uploading, but buying space from google is cheap. 5 bucks a year for 20 GB, now that is a steal.

2. Google has more features ~ Google is often updating their email and other services more often then apple. You have priority inbox, google labs and lots more options then apple mail offers. Plus your getting all these features for free for no extra cost. Can you chat within Apple mail, have different themes or get online voice mail. Nope

3. Google plays nice with Apple ~ Even if you have a iphone, a imac and a ipad. You can still use all the greatness of Google on your apple devices. However, Apple does not play to nice the other way around if your stuck with a PC or linux.

4. Google is more reliable ~ According to user reports, google services are almost always online. Sure they are downtimes, but there are rare and often short. However, user report more issues with MobileMe, with problems with syncing or the speed of the service. If your like me, I would expect MobileMe to run flawless 99.9% of the time if your shelling out that much money for it.

5. Google has update blogs ~ You can see the progress that google is making with its services, but with Apple, your in the dark. No one saw that the Find my Iphone service would become free, which ticked off a lot of mobileme users who where paying for the service. MobileMe rarely receives updates.

As you can see, Google offers the better user experience.

Nintendo 3DS information to flood in late January?

If you have noticed, there is not to much information that you can find on the Nintendo 3DS at the moment. According to rumors, Nintendo is telling all of its developers to keep their projects under wrap for now until early January. (a few weeks before the Japanese launch)

This is probably to keep the focus off the Nintendo 3DS and let people buy the current offerings Nintendo has on sell for the Holiday season. Which makes sense from a business stand point.

Chris and Jill have to kill some zombies before they can tell us about their adventure.
