If You Liked Snakes on a Plane…
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
Laughed so hard when I saw this. This is for all the people who thought that "Snakes on a Plane" was one of the dumbest films ever made.
Jill Valentine’s Dead?
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008For those who follow the Resident Evil series (I’m getting into it right now, belated, I know), there’s this trailer that was shown on Tokyo Game Show (I’m thinking by "Game" it means "Video Games", not the kind of game show we’re used to :P).
Oh man, please tell me that’s a fake tombstone. I love Jill Valentine’s character, and if they kill her off, I don’t think I’d want to follow it anymore. I’m a Chris/Jill shipper too, so it would be even more horrible if they killed her off on Chris’s game.
It’s cool seeing Chris again, definitely, and Sheva looks like she’s a good fighter too, but I’d prefer Jill. There’s nothing like seeing the originals in action. Graphics look pretty good in RE5, btw. Is it just me or is Chris hotter than Leon?XD
Or it might just be the biceps talking, but you know…XD
Even without that romance angle though (and it’s just implied, there’s nothing ever officially said by Capcom about these two), Jill is probably RE’s iconic character (more so than Nemesis), so if they did kill her off, I’m thinking they’re going to anger a lot of their fanbase. I’m crossing my fingers that that’s just a dummy tombstone, and Jill’s just hiding somewhere (and no, not infected, and definitely not as a BOW. She got infected in RE3, but she looked fine in Umbrella Chronicles, so it can’t be the virus).
Extinct Words :’(
Thursday, November 13th, 2008I just read online that there’s a movement to get rid of some words from the dictionary. Similarly, there’s a petition going on to save your favorite word from the list, so that it won’t be removed - by making use of these words themselves!
Here’s the list:
Abstergent Cleansing or scouring
Agrestic Rural; rustic; unpolished; uncouth

Caducity Perishableness; senility
Caliginosity Dimness; darkness

Nope. What you’re seeing isn’t a figment of your imagination. The floater actually does have a PC attached to it. Invented by Barry Lai Yin Lock for the NextGen PC Design Competition, this floater comes with a GPS device, Bluetooth, and Internet access. Instead of needing a fan to keep its system cool, it uses the water it floats on to keep the processor from heating up.
Looks like what they say about hairdryers and bathtubs aren’t applicable anymore. Now, if only this thing could automatically load a webpage to give you tips on how to keep you from drowning or escaping from a shark attack, then it’s golden.
