Battlefield 3 is trying to become the new king of first person shooters and this game looks great. It uses the new Frostbite 2 engine so we can expect realistic animations, huge maps, great lighting, and destructible environment. Of course we don’t yet know how the game is going to play; we can expect a…
I recently read Plague, the third instalment of the Gone series, and I must say this series just keeps getting better. If you have not read the previous books in this series or my reviews of them, this review probably won’t make much sense. Basically the town is running out of water so Albert (who’s…
If you’re like me and have a great interest in science, this may interest you. A YouTuber who goes by “thunderf00t” claims to have the first video footage of potassium gas. I was skeptical of this claim but it’s been over a week and no one has come out to disprove it, so I searched…
A physicist at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland managed to trap Antihydrogen for over 16 minutes.
It said John Green on the cover so I had to read it. There really wasn’t much choice in the matter. But after reading the novel I never got around to reviewing it. I couldn’t make up my mind about this novel… until now. The plot is quite simple, we have two Will Graysons. One…
I had heard from others that this book was great; in fact, I’d even heard it being described as a masterpiece. So there was really not choice in the matter, I had to read this book. But then I found out that this would be one of the books assigned for English class, so I…
The first clip is of Evan Longoria saving a reporter from being hit by a baseball. Here he displays amazing (unbelievable) reaction time and hand-eye coordination. [youtube V6Ig3_Agass] The second clip is of a reporter who makes a backwards half court shot without even knowing it. [youtube u9C8tkJNt8Q] And the last clip was what the…
In this video the Coca Cola seems to freeze spontaneously after the man opens the bottle. Apparently it’s a special type of Coca Cola that you can only get in certain parts of the world. [youtube j07SweYJTSM] The Coke is “supercooled” (when a liquid is brought below its freezing point without crystallizing). When a liquid…
Last weekend I got to see the horror film Insidious with my friends. I don’t know why we keep watching horror films at the theatre; none of us actually enjoy being scared out of our wits. Insidious follows a family of five that just moved into their new house. All is going well until one…
This video is a great example of why soccer is loved by so many. It’s this kind of spirit that makes soccer what I consider to be the greatest sport. [youtube jU4oA3kkAWU]
This is a truly amazing video where Richard Dawkins explains in a powerful speech how lucky we are to be alive. [youtube IOXMjCnKwb4]
On Friday, I had the chance to go see the movie “Battle Los Angeles” with a couple of friends. This movie was not quite what I expected… but then again, movies are rarely what I expect them to be. The plot is quite simple; an alien race invades earth for our resources and a group…
I have said the book is bad, and I have claimed that the story could be a lot better. But the movie also proved that the story could be a lot worse. Basically, the story is the same; a girl is violated and murdered and goes to heaven, only it’s not heaven but a place…
So, I was going to write a blog about the situation in Egypt. But it turns out that my favorite author – John Green – already did a great four minute vlog on this topic. So here it is. [youtube Pn9x4LCQ5I0] But there is something I would like to adress. US president Barack Obama stated that such…
After reading this book, I often wondered if I read the same “The Lovely Bones” that everyone else is talking about. Because to be honest, my opinion greatly differs from that of the majority. Basically, this is a story about a girl who was violated, murdered and now in heaven. but she is restricted to…
