Review – Movie – Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

NOTE: I was originally going to make one long review with a spoiler filled section of bitching following this segment. Unfortunately due to the somewhat random and incoherent nature of the plot, the spoiler filled section became very random and incoherent. In the interest of making some level of observations, I’m going to go with the non spoiler filled section here and sort out the rest later for a second post. Ok, Revenge of the Fallen. Transformers 2. In case you missed it, my Transformers 1 review can be found here. This movie is certainly an action flick. Lots of…

Programming (Part 2)

I promised a part two so here it is… The first post can be found here.

The first programming language I ever learned any part of was BASIC.  This was around 1987-1988 when I was 7 or 8 years old.  I know this because, at the time, my dad had gone back to school to finish his degree in Computer Science…

Review – Kirby Super Star Ultra (NDS)

A few months ago, I put out a request to my friends online to recommend some DS games.  The key was, I felt that I was stuck in a rut and I wanted something different that I wouldn’t likely even consider normally. After several good suggestions, I decided on Kirby Super Star Ultra.  I’ve played Kirby’s Dreamland and Kirby’s Adventure many years ago and I’m pretty sure they were alright.  I have this unnatural love for Kirby’s Pokemon clone Jigglypuff.  It was a platform game, something I generally enjoy a lot.  I ended up picking it up.  Ok, gambling on…
