Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Screenshots
Well it’s coming and everyone is waiting for it, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 2, so we figured we’d put up as many screenshots as we could find that were tasty. Unfortunately it looks like still no main-story-line co-op, but they are offering co-op in the SpecOps mode which is taking down foes in special [...]

Thanks to Grant Gochnauer for the heads up on the news that Canon is working on a firmware upgrade for the 5D Mark II folks that will allow 1080p video recording at 24 and 25fps.

Tuesday, October 20, 2009
SmugMug’s Don MacAskill blogged about Vincent Laforet’s new ‘Nocturne’ short that was shot in 1080p at ISO 6400 on the new Canon 1D Mark IV — for those of you with your 5D Mark II’s, apparently the 1D MIV has better low-light performance, but the body runs a solid $5k — so probably just buy [...]

Thursday, July 23, 2009
Introduction I just purchased a Canon PowerShot SX 1 IS (not the SX10 — which has no HD video recording) to replace my existing Canon G9 (which is an excellent camera): What I really wanted out of the SX 1 IS was the 1080p @ 30fps video recording and improved zoom for traveling. Unfortunately when the SX [...]

Tuesday, July 14, 2009
I can only describe the first Army of Two game as a “huge let down” — the game was dripping with potential, but due to either a lack of time or vision the team couldn’t pull it all together into the co-op insanity and wonderment that it was suppose to be. You ended up with [...]

Wednesday, April 8, 2009
If you are a fan of tennis (either games or the sport), I imagine you were torn last year between getting Virtua Tennis 3 or Top Spin 3 — I was, and I ended up getting both. Let me sum up the difference for you: Virtua Tennis series is more arcade-style tennis — meaning it’s more about [...]

Saturday, March 14, 2009
What’s Going on with Netflix Streaming Performance? I noticed about 3 weeks ago my streaming video performance from Netflix has become unbearably slow. I’m on a 7 mbps Qwest DSL line in Tucson, AZ and my previous experience with Netflix “Watch Instantly” service had generally been excellent, almost never showing the buffering screen for a movie [...]

Saturday, December 6, 2008
Well YouTube has finally done it – they’ve turned on HD for select movies uploaded in a high enough format to support it. You guys probably noticed the new widescreen player rollout a few weeks ago, it looks like that was Part 1 of the transition. Part 2 was to actually enable a “watch in HD” [...]

Sunday, November 23, 2008
Uhhh… did no one here see War of the Worlds? Isn’t that sort of how it starts in that movie too? Ok that first bit was mostly sarcastic, but if you are interested in this kind of stuff, and the increasing trend recently of “lights in the sky” sightings has you intrigued, Google for “2012” and if [...]

Friday, November 7, 2008
Andrew Burnes over at VE3D has thrown up 26mins of Left 4 Dead gameplay video from the demo. I found the following bit of gameplay the most representative of the environments, scenarios and team-dynamic going on in that title: I’ll admit, the first time I saw Left 4 Dead demoed (maybe a year ago?) I thought [...]
