OK, so I didn’t really see Tina Fey today, but I did see her on my way to the bus station yesterday. I just got around to pulling it out of my camera so technically….
She was filming something, I think Funny or Die: Billy on the Streets or something….
Tina Fey!
It’s probably the crappiest pina colada, but dagnabbit, it’s my pina colada. Happy Pina Colada Day! Seen here paired with some fish tacos.
I don’t like getting caught in the rain, but i do enjoy pina colada’s.
Will “Canadian Cheese” finally get a chance to try the legendary Uncle Tetsu Japanese Cheesecake?
Shooting Canon’s 5DS has been challenging to say the least. Challenging in a sense that I truly hate it’s ergonomics.
Anyway, resolution wise my old D700 won’t be able to keep up, but let’s see how my Nikkor 50mm F/1.4D holds up against the much more expensive and much bigger Canon 50mm F1.2 L II
Will be shooting comparison shots throughout the day. Stay tuned.
Hey all! I know I haven’t posted much. Busy with wedding planning and all, and sort of getting stuck playing InFamous: Second Son.
I still have to get my review of the HTC One M8, as well as Titanfall, as well as InFamous. I have yet to actually start the work on these, well, I do have the source material for my Titanfall HAR (Half Assed Review), but I just haven’t been able to put it together.
Anyhow, this is not what this post is about. About a week ago, Nekked and I did a session on MGS: Peace Walker, and we recorded the whole thing. Now, it is close to 50 minutes long, and for some reason my audio is very low. Granted this is the first time we did this, so please bear with us for now. This is really a test run for some stuff we have planned out.
Hope y’all enjoy it, somewhat. And if you did, please subscribe to our channel, and like our video…and while we are doing plugs, like our new FB page too! https://www.facebook.com/JWABlog
Sitting here next to my keyboard is HTC’s brand new flagship phone, the One…wait, I thought, they already had a One, um..
Yeah, HTC didn’t get too fancy with the nomenclature, like calling it the One-2, or the One-A, or what have you, but just left it the same. In fact they left a lot the same, the same awesome build quality, the same awesome boom sound speakers, same single piece aluminium, same ultra pixel camera. But unlike the name, they did improve upon what made the original One great.
At first glance, you will be struggling to see that it’s an all new phone, but upon closer inspection, you will notice it just that much bigger, and that much rounder, which actually makes it a lot nicer to hold. the rounded edges on the M8 makes it feel more at home in my hand, but at the same time, it feels like it will slip off, unlike the previous model, where the corners made it feel grippy.
I was afraid that with Beats and HTC parting ways, boom sound will be less ‘boomy’, but they improved on what should be a standard on all handheld devices. I played a song one after another, and the M8’s boom sound speakers were more powerful, and sounded a tad more punchier. I will have to do some more listening though, as Beats provided audio enhancements with headphones attached as well.
Now let’s move on the the camera. The front facer, is now a 5 MP sensor, and should do nicely to all those that are addicted to selfies (self included). The rear camera though, still remains a 4 UltraPixel, but with an added ‘depth’ sensor, which allows for post shot fun. From the little I have played with it, it looks more like a gimmicky type thing, but w/ the API being out on the Google Play store, I am really excited as to what other developers can do with it.
To round out the phone, the extra bit of width actually made it easier for me to type and hold the phone a bit. Sense 6.0 is slick, but I have not yet been able to dive deep and check out what’s new under the hood. Battery life has said to have improved some 40%, so I am hoping that it’s true. I still have to spend more time with this device, so look forward to my Half Assed Review.
I will be cutting and uploading some footage shortly, so look forward to that also. For now, enjoy some comparison shots between the M7 (old One), and the M8 (new One).
I just picked this up for my ps4. Hopefully it’s not a step child of the series. We’ll see when I crack it open on Sunday.
I would also like to mention our new segment called ‘half assed reviews’ which we will kick off with Titanfall.
Happy weekend everyone!
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.
I love fan films, since fans tend to stay true to the subject matter, and they don’t muck it up with visions of grandeur. Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way, and this Tomb Raider/Lara Croft fan film fits the bill. It’s still a bit cheesy, but, it’s a helluva lot better than Angelina’s rendition about a decade or so ago.
