Holy crap, is it issue 40 already? Last week I had an awesome time with fireworks.  Want to check out some? Go to www.youtube.com/versatileninja and see some of the footage that I got.

As promised, I have been keeping up with new information on Starcraft 2.  If you are itching for all Starcraft 2 gameplay videos since the dawn of time, look no further than the link below:

Most likely the game will not come out until early 09.  After all, there is much work that needs to be done.  The single player is only 1/3 done, along with all the various tweaks and fixes that is involved in balancing the sequel to what is the most influential RTS game of all time.  Can you believe that the original Starcraft came out in 1997?  Amazing.

Diablo 3 was announced recently, and no ETA date as to when that game is coming.  Some people are complaining that the new graphic style has a cartoonish look, but Blizzard says the game is more colorful and rich in color.  It helps enlighten the environment, whereas in Diablo 2, you were stuck in a dungeon and the colors were primarily dark.

As expected, new authors are not up to snuff. V1 has to always suck it up around here and compensate for others.  One of these days I’m going to go on vacation, and then this place will be a desert. ;p

On a total unrelated topic, I was talking to a friend last night to find him the trailer to what will become a badass game that is coming out for PC, Xbox, and PS3 later this year.  Game is called Mirror’s Edge.  Emphasis is on the environment, and less on the fighting.  In fact, the less weapons you have the faster you can move.   Makes sense, right?  Check out the official trailer below and be amazed.

Ok, I’m not going to spoil the fun. Go to the link below and watch the first 6 minutes of the movie.  If the rest of the movie is like this, I’m going to have to go to the theatre which I haven’t done so in years.

I cannot wait for this, it gets better and better!

So I lit some fireworks early this year, so check this out!

In light of a recent purchase of mine, my usual YouTube trolling stumbled me into this video. At first, I couldn’t stand the guy. But if you watch it ’til the end, you’ll see why I’m posting it.

This is an even better response video:

Finally, as a tribute to Will Smith’s awesome new movie (saw it last night, worth 7 bucks!!):

God speed, and Best wishes.

Then make sure to check that you update the anti-virus definition files.

Well, as of today, June 2nd, 2008, Mozilla has set a new Guiness world record for most software downloads in 24 hours. Today, Guiness sent the official confirmation that Firefox 3 did indeed set a world record. According to the Mozilla Blog: “ From 18:16 UTC on June 17, 2008 to 18:16 UTC on June 18, 2008, 8,002,530 people downloaded Firefox 3!” As most of us know, Mozilla’s servers were overloaded with downloads the first few hours, but things picked up from there.

As of now, Firefox is being used by more than 180 million people in over 230 countries. Firefox definately is a quality product, so IE users, get on the band wagon before the mob comes to burn your house!

This week is a very awesome week because July 4th is almost here! Last weekend I went on a Fireworks shopping spree.  In fact, my firework store was awesome because it was “Buy 1, Get 1 Free” sale.  In fact, I got an album up on all the goodies.  Check it out here: http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc106/versatileninja/Fireworks%202008/

On the side, I have been working on an online excel spreadsheet that will allow us to keep track of people who want Demonoid Invites.  So far it is looking pretty good.  Check that out here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p28ncn6kYKoOlFH1hGm5UXA&output=html

Nothing else too new.  Check out my youtube profile, and you can see some of the fireworks in action.  I’m not going to spoil it, you are going to have to check it out yourself to see what I’m talking about. :p

See you next week!

Diablo 3 was announcd this past weekend.  If you have never ever played the first two games, I feel sorry for you as they rocked so hard.  Diablo 3 rumored to be ready end of 2009, but who knows.  It will be ready when its done.
