Earworm: Shakira – Can’t Remember to Forget You ft. Rihanna
There are 2 things going great for this video, a very hot Shakira, and a very hot Rihanna. There is a song somewhere in there, I kind of lose focus. Enjoy!
Earworm: Freebird – Lynard Skynard
A friend of mine from FB, let’s call her Vementha, posted a few lyrics from this legendary song, and well, it’s now an earworm. The awesome instrumental riff in the back end of this song takes me back to Guitar Hero 2, and it’s awesome getting all the notes perfect. I wish I could take the time to learn it on an actual guitar though.
Anyway, enjoy this live version from 2003.
Batman Arkham Knight Trailer
Arkham Knight
This looks really juicy. I have only briefly played the first Arkham game for PS3 when it first came out, and I thought it was very well done. I never got around to buying the last 2 releases for PS3, but recently, a good buddy of mine gave the first 2 to me as a gift via Steam. Anyway, as I mentioned, the trailer looks juicy. It shows off 3 villains, Harley Quinn, Two Face, and the Penguin, oh and the Batmobile is PRESENT! This raises a question though as to how the Batmobile will be implemented in the game. Bats got around the previous games before just fine with out it.
The trailer looks gorgeous. I doubt it is done in real time, but with the hardware muscle of the next or current gen systems (PS4, and XB1), and the PC, it looks to be visually stunning. The game drops later this year, and will be only available on PS4, XB1, and PC. This will be Rocksteady’s final Arkham game, and it will also conclude that story line.
Some screen grabs for you:
Two Face
Penguin looking un-penguin like
Harley, I prefer this one over the past iteration from the previous game
Jumping into action
I am now Ben Affleck…wait..what?
The new Batmobile, looks pretty sick
Earworm: Everything Is AWESOME!!! — The LEGO® Movie — Tegan and Sara feat. The Lonely Island
I just saw the Lego Movie this weekend, and it was quite awesome. Having said that, they had this song in the movie called ‘Everything is Awesome’, and it I have been humming it since I left the theater. Granted my nephews kept singing it too, but, it didn’t matter, the song was an earworm to me. It’s sung by Tegan and Sara with The Lonely Island doing the rap. The lyrics are great, and the beat is so bubbly, it actually lifted my spirits up a bit. Anyway, enjoy the song, and oh yeah, go see the movie, it’s awesome!
Kit Kat Lands on Verizon HTC Ones
Hot off the heels of Sprints Kit Kat update on its HTC One variant, Verizon, surprisingly is 2nd to push out the Android 4.4.2 update among US carriers. If anyone recalls, Verizon was the last to push out the last Jelly Bean update (4.3) to it’s HTC One by about a month after the other 3 major US carriers. HTC itself said late last year that it will deliver Kit Kat to carrier One variants at the end of January, but with certification process taking a bit more time than they had anticipated, they retracted the end of January delivery date, and pushed it to sometime in February.
Sprint released their updates last week, and now Verizon is following suit some days later (about a week if not less). A tweet from @moversi of HTC announcing that they had received technical approval, and @VZWnews tweeting that it will start OTA in stages. I read this kinda late, and I am still downloading the update as I type this. But anyway, Verizon One customers rejoice! Hit that update button and get some sweet Kit Kat lovin’
Kit Kat!

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Impressions [UPDATE]
Just a quick update on my progress on the Definitive Edition of Tomb Raider. Even though I had beaten the PS3 version (100% on the single player campaign), I still find myself enjoying Lara’s rebooted adventure. It’s actually a bit fun now, as I’m just really toying with the NPC’s, even with Lara’s low skill level at this point in the game. Anyway, I find the graphics to be great, and it does add another layer of challenge to the game. Early on in the game, with the weather ravaging and slowing Lara’s progress, with blinding lightning, and rain drops filling the screen, it makes for an added element of hardship, and it makes you feel like you are there.
I mentioned before the jungle seems more livelier on this version as opposed to the PS3 or even the PC version on ultimate. Lara’s clothes also seemed more detailed. These are just initial findings though. I need to catch up on the PC version to see more and do a better comparison graphically. The few little things that they added to the PS4 version is a nice touch, like using the Dual Shock 4’s speakers for foot steps, gun fire, and other arbitrary sound effects. It’s not much, but it somehow add’s a lot. I notice the sound effects sound a bit better. Once I get my capture rig going again, I’ll post more video’s of all 3 versions. For now I leave you with some screen shots done via the PS4’s share button. I did adjust them slightly for clarity.
Lighting effects are great
Facial detail is absolutely stunning
Nice textures on her hand wrap
She really needs a day in the spa
Earworm: Ed Sheeran – You Need Me, I Don’t Need You
Seriously, I was never a fan of Ed Sheeran, but slowly his songs, his lyrics got to me, and I got on the bandwagon. This particular one is pretty good, a different tune from what I have normally heard on the radio. My good buddy, Marky Mark put this to my attention and I really really liked it. I hope you do too.
Tomb Raider Comic
Hot off the heels of the successful reboot of Tomb Raider, comes a comic book by Dark Horse comics. The story line will take place right after the events of the game, and will be written by Gail Simone. I haven’t been in the comics game in a while, but this excites me. I don’t know, I am in full Tomb Raider mode. The reboot totally won me over. Check out the preview art below.
