  • On PewDiePie’s $7m…

    The problem here isn’t the money this young man is making with his videos… the problem is that there are 37 million souls watching him playing games instead of spending that time playing games themselves, which to me makes no sense at all. It might be a sign that I’m getting old, but I rather play […]

  • The Blogs are Dead… again.

    I often forget that I own a blog. This place…. where I began blogging in 2005, is becoming 10 years old in September. 10 years of mostly obsolete content and information. I tought about deleting it out of shame of not updating it even once a month… guess that says a lot about myself and the […]

  • Late 2014 Resolution

    Learn to code decently in a specific language, once and for all.

  • The Meaning of Life

    Perhaps the oldest question in the history of civilization… it’s the also the one question with the most number of answers. Their validity is another issue… I often say that life, and all its aspects are terribly subjective. Even death. It all depends on how you experience life itself and the end of it, either […]

  • The Blog that sleeps…

    It’s more like the blogger who sleeps… I really have to reconnect with my blog. Twitter, Facebook and G+ are taking a heavy toll on blogs. Mine is no exception. In the social networks you have almost an instant audience, it’s like you are in the middle of the street shouting you rants at strangers, […]

  • Farewell LucasArts

    It’s a sad day for us gamers in their 30’s and 40’s. Today Disney announced that it’s closing LucasArts. The famous game studio that was part of LucasFilm, and included in the package that George Lucas sold to Disney, is being closed down after 31 years. I’m 34. I grew up with LucasFilm Games (that […]

  • Outrun

    I’m completely addicted to this album! A pure trip to the 80’s in all aspects! Great work from Kavinsky. A true homage to Sega’s arcade and console hit Outrun! Love the Testarossa!

  • Say “Kiss me”.

      Dreaming with Blade Runner 2… Crossing my fingers, hoping that Ridley Scott doesn’t ruin it…

  • Star Wars Blu-Ray Rants

      So George… here we are again. One more release. This time, the entire saga. Of course you took my money, but this time, I offered some resistance. First of all, let me put this straight: I’m not a Star Wars purist. While I prefer the original trilogy, I can watch any of the first […]

  • Bye bye iOS, Hello Android

    Yes, I’ve gone Android. For those who know me that might come as a shock. I’m a big Apple fan, I have a Mac since 2007 and never thought of going back to Linux or Windows (until recently with Lion’s release, but those are another 2 cents). I got an iPhone 3G when they were […]
