Video Game Fridays: Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusions (GG)

To tell you the truth, this was a somewhat non-memorable game.It is true that it had some great graphics, compared to other games I had played on portable platforms at the time. The story is essentially Mickey falling asleep on a fairy tale book, and he becomes the protagonist that saves the land.The stages in the game were good. As I see screenshots of the game, my memory is jogged, but it's nothing

The origins of EGM

This article was an interesting read on IGN retro. It's an article about the origins of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM). It brought back lot's of memories of similar gaming magazines I used to buy in Greece at that time :-)Look at that first cover! The graphics are indeed indicative on a bygone era!

My computer is obsolete :-)

It's funny to think that my PowerBook G4 is now obsolete...or vintage as TUAW puts it.Amazingly, my PowerBook runs with few problems, and I can still do (almost) everything I need to do on it - if you exclude the brain aneurism it had a few years back and it can do WiFi, Accelerated Video and Audio.I post this from my obsolete Mac. The funny thing is that an obsolete Mac is still better than an Obsolete

The 3G iPhone

Not the iPhone 3G (meaning that it runs on HSPA), but the 3rd Generation (3G) iPhone...in other words the third iteration of the phone.I know it's just a model, but it's pretty cool.Make the Camera a 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and I'm game ;-)

Video Game Fridays: R-Type (GB)

R-type was one of those games that came bundled with game boys one christmas in Greece (along with Gargoyle's Quest and Dr. Mario if I remember correctly). This was the point where many of my friends jumped into the whole game boy thing, and I could borrow this game from many friends.In truth, I only got through the first two stages of the game, but the replayability factor of this game is sky high!

This blog is an ESTP

Every now and then I take the Myers Briggs type indicator test. I tend to fluctuate between an INTJ and an ISTJ. Typealzyser analyses your blog for it's own Myers Briggs type. According to typealyzer this blog is an ESTP.Who would'a thunk it?ESTP - The DoersThe active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging

Ovi on the NIT

I had this realization the other day: Nokia is missing out on using Ovi on its lineup of internet tablets. I've written in the past that I really don't like the fact that the internet tablets don't have any PIM functionality out of the box. Well, OK, you've got your GoogleIM contacts, but if you don't use Google as your contact manager you're out of luck (well the contact management on the device

Television Tuesdays: My own worst enemy

Having written about Jekyll on BBC, I thought it only fitting to write about another series, similar to Jekyll, that is interesting. This season NBC brought us a new series called My own worst enemy.Like Jackman in Jekyll, the main character in my own worst enemy has a split personality. A day time personality of a typical office worker who is married and has the 2.5 kid + large house american dream
