Evangelion 2.0 To Premiere at Glasgow Film Festival
It appears the second remake movie Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance will be on show next week in the UK on Monday 15th during the Glasgow Film Festival with subtitles. Since the Japanese DVD release won’t be out until May 26th apparently, I think I will go see it on the big screen and see how many people here turn up for the evening!
Will be interesting to see how big the Anime community is or how many Eva fans there are here. Never went to the cinema here to watch Anime before… ^^;
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Review
No More Heroes 2 takes place in Santa Destroy 3 years after the prequel. The city has developed a lot since then with high rise buildings everywhere but there’s also plenty of killings and Travis Touchdown has dropped to 51st place in the rankings. A brother of one of the assassins that he killed meets him on the rooftops for revenge which he soon finds was part of a bigger plan. Travis’ best friend is killed and upon meeting Sylvia once again, he learns that the boss happens to be at the top of the United Assassins Association.
Microsoft Office 2007 Buyers May Get 2010 Upgrade Free?
According to PC Pro, a Microsoft blog had suggested that anyone who buys any version of Microsoft Office 2007 between March and September this year maybe eligible for a free upgrade to the latest version 2010.
I wonder if this applies to students who can buy (students in the US included) the Ultimate Edition for £40 instead of paying the RRP of £600?
Windows 7 Professional was also available for students at £30 instead of the RRP of £220 but the deal is now over unfortunately.
Local Library Computer and Printer Access
Been a long time since I visited my local library – Why use it when you’re in uni or have access to the internet at home? Well, maybe for novels or if you would prefer to have tangible books before you.
Dropped in again after I needed something urgent printed off. My old inkjet printer’s head failed again just when I needed it. It was working fine for a number of weeks ago. I think it’s around every two years this happens.
So, being out of uni now I thought I would try the library. Turns out they’ve renewed the cards from the old blue and white ones to this purplish one now which apparently gives you discounts at other local facilities.
Perfect World International Review
Amongst the bigger paid MMORPG titles such as Blizzard’s World of Warcraft and Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XI, there’s plenty of free titles out there. One of them is Perfect World (完美世界) from Chinese developers originally released back in 2005 in China before it hit the Western world in 2008.
I thought I’d give it a try since it looked interesting and fairly up-to-date.
Avatar and The RealD 3D Cinema Experience
Yes, yes. I know this site is feeling like a diary lately but nothing on the gaming and Anime side of things of late quite pique my interests.
Anyway, found the time to go back and claim my free viewing compensation at Cineworld after the waterworks incident just over a week ago. Luckily it wasn’t too late ^^;
Avatar isn’t a bad movie but very predictable as most others have said. Those of you who don’t know the story already (which I doubt), Avatar is about how the human race have found a precious mineral known as “Unobtanium” on the alien planet of Pandora. However, the blue-skinned inhabitants there known as “Na’vis” refuse to let them enter an area where the resource is most abundant and for this reason, they make an effort to communicate with them via research using “Avatars” which allow the humans to look just like them. Jake Sully is another one of those people who takes over his brother’s avatar but unlike others, he is accepted amongst the people when he meets Neytiri, a princess from one of the tribes and a sign is given by their sacred tree. They agree to teach him the ways of their people, unaware of what Jake’s true mission was.
Spoilers and thoughts ahead.
