The 3DS and it's unlocked potential...

As many of you know, the 3DS is a new device which portrays 3D depth without the need of glasses unlike the overly priced rental shop known as the cinema. 


As you have gathered from the title, the 3DS has yet to break free and hit it's  ocean of opportunity, it has merely skimmed and created ripples showing off only it's small wavy brilliance. It's like drinking nothing but water for a month and then having a drop of honey, the taste, the feeling and any other possible thoughts are merged and collaborated into one feature, an unforgettable moment of your life, young or old.

Like any other console, the 3DS had little to offer at launch, the first batch of hardware are faulty and possible overally expensive. However, as time progresses, the 3DS has much more to offer and Nintendo have reached yet again new heights. The thought of a console done by Nintendo requires users to be 8+ is on its own incredible, please, take the time to note that down. A CONSOLE BY NINTENDO HAVING TO BE 8 years old and over!!


The friendcode bugs me, I think the whole thing with friendcodes is often disturbing. I mean, i can barely sleep at night knowing the 3DS has a friendcode, with only a 100 friend limit, though thats just me, i've lost sleep but i dont plan on losing anymore.

What can the 3DS do?
With the hardware specs, and with the power of Nintendo, 3DS can do a lot more than a lot of things, the thought of 3D sport is also appealing. The public internet, streetpass and other familiar things has got me and other gamers interested. Though i believe that the 3DS has started a trend, i dont believe that 3D gaming will soon be catching on. Other companies have tried and if im not mistaken, there are now companies making 3D TVs which do a similar job to the 3DS....figures....


Companies that copy inventive ideas really need to stop, all they do is take the flaws from another company, improve it and increase the prices by x10. As a customer, i don't want to see this happening but i DO want improvements, Nintendo are always slow on improvements, though are not slow on deliverance (if that makes sense to you people), this is what makes them weak, other companies will indeed take the idea, try and use it as a USP and will produce better results (didn't i just say this?).

Mario Kart 7 is on it's way to the 3DS, possibly one of the most looked forward to game coming to the 3DS, it has such creativity, such purity, such basic fun. Similar to a fighting game, you can be a noob and still have some sort of chance at winning against players. Only those who have trained and familiarised themselves with both the track and characters will have a great chance of winning, while those who get items can still beat those experienced players with the items provided. As mario kart progresses, the game changes, rainbow road becomes easier to fall off, items become more effective, tracks have much more than a 1 way layout etc. A lot of things change and I feel like with the help of the 3DS and its own features, perhaps the game can become ridiculously competitive. I also liked the fact that you could have up to 8 people who dont even need the game to play with, such features often confirms that Nintendo are just thinking of us :). The only bad thing about mario kart 7 would be that 1 on 1 races will of course be incredible boring, though you would expect that...

I'm moving off the handle a bit too much, my point being that games on the 3DS which are about 4GB big have the ability to do more than a wii, than a PS3, than any previous DS, the 3D function, hardware specs, competition on consoles and crazy apps will boost the 3DS, though like always, Nintendo will tease their audience and will not boost the 3DS to it's best potential. Over the next few months i shall be saying some of the ideas that i have been thinking off will be displayed to you guys, showing what i feel gamers want and how nintendo could use it to their advantage too.


I think this post wasn't as spine tingling as it should have been, though give it some time, every blogger has his weak days.

Palmers College and its lack of support

Palmers College, one of the worse colleges around i must say. As you walk in, the trees, green grass and buildings all look lovely... these of course are the only nice looking parts in Palmers.


Students can only walk on the grass during summer, though there is virtually nothing stopping students walking on the grass, thus giving the grass a mustard effect. Saving my friend from walking into what looked like dog poop on a human size scale is probably the most shocking thing about it all, it isn't clean as the pictures portray though is cleaned on probably a monthly basis. Let me stop rambling on about the outside part, anyone could see that...


The majority of teachers lack the ability to teach or even to understand the main purpose of their job, understandably, there are those days to which I teacher may not care about anything, though this should not have to continue throughout the year. I would say Palmers is like a snow flake as it gently blows, following with the natural light breeze of the wind, go any deeper and you will notice that the snow flake was merely made out of poison and was dropping into the devils soup, to which Palmers is being served.


There equipment for the most of it is half decent, not good enough, but it will do. The computers might have an easily downloadable OS (Windows 7) but there is a low amount of memory on each computer, which to me doesn't make sense. Only ICT/Computing students will use computers on a daily basis, they need the necessary amount of memory, having to ask to add more memory or being limited on such a small amount is unjustifiable by the college.


Want to feel like a sardine? GO TO PALMERS!
Each corridor has such a small range, its incredible someone like myself could even manage to fit through it on a daily basis, loads of people come and go from all directions. Luckily, it isn't a constant flow, you as a student have only two options, leave earlier than 5minutes to which you would have to wait for your teacher either way, due to this you may have to be the colestiole of the blood stream, you will have to wait in the corridor (depending on your class, however the majority of classes are in corridors), as people can only give beams of anger and disappointment as you help slow them down. OR as a student, you can turn up to your class 5-10 minutes late, the corridors are clear, though you face a risk of getting in the danger zone. The corridors can only be described as thin crust from nicely cut bread, filled with a load of oranges trying to get in and out of the narrow lining. Along with typical slow walkers, large groups of friends and those people who just love to stop in front of you and have a mindless conversation about gossip, the only thing you may have to not worry about is that others think the same, you are nothing but a drop in the ocean, there is no difference here. No identify. No arguments.


My ICT teacher (Gavin Gill) refused to mark me and my friend's folder after saying that we did not have anything in order. Originally, i thought "yes, I should have had everything in order" but compared to other people, it seemed untrustworthy. Another one of my friends didn't get his work marked simply because he "didn't have the work in his folder". However, as soon as he got his folder, he opened it up and saw the work which apparently, wasn't there. This just shows what a lack of support he and other teachers do to try and keep students above everything. He was willing to give up his Saturday to mark work for the last time, but he didn't mark mine, a few others and missed out work which he criticise us for not having, when clearly it was there.


It's understandable to think that "yea i told you so" but at the minimum he shouldn't have pestered his students for 1 week about completing the folder and its work. Some pieces of work were not even explain through class. Such lack of teacher support often makes me think why there is even a teacher. All Gavin Gill does is sit at his computer and read a PDF out loud. The only thing the students get from listening to him is the average grade and page number, anything else is either irrelevant or simply unjustifiably stupid.


Having work in a folder (slightly organised or not), Gavin Gill bigged up the situation as if it was 2012's last day on earth, when the user provides the input, i expect the output. An output to which Gavin Gill did not provide. I am better off reading a PDF and saving myself the long distance journey of college only to witness such actions...life lives on, and i still digress, oh well.


I could literally go on for hours on end explaining why im still in Palmers and why it isn't as good as shown, though i don't have the time to rant and im sure you don't have enough oxygen in your lunges to laugh at.


Good day and in my next post, it will be less ranting, more....something creative and whatnot Stay tuned or stay fumed.

Update around my blog....

So, after about an hour of continuous searching for the unseen option to allow me to have editable widgets, I started to think that it was impossible. I was trapped within an endless cycle of stairs running into each other, falling in a loop with no end, a life with no meaning and a world without material. I would have found it easier to win at Connect 4 in three moves. 

Eventually, I DID find a way to add widgets and change my layout, it was a difficult process, inventing the telephone would have been easier. Though, through my expertise of the internet and clever high-end thinking, I managed to somehow escape the loop, break the unless falling stairs and free myself from the fear of hopelessness. Feel free,to leave a comment if you have made such an easy mistake.


Ive changed the background, added my twitter feed and added some other features, there are also a donation button at the bottom if you people wish to donate money towards me :)

Movie review - Paranormal Activity 1,2,3

Many of you may be asking yourselves the very same question as im asking myself. "Why review these movies", well, the answer is clear. I do not like the whole "not knowing" scene with these movies, I can potentially save many peoples time from stopping themselves from watching such movies.


Though I have seen many horror genre films, i would say that I have also gained some sort of catharsis effect (meaning the graphical images and typical codes and conventions are not as effective as they should be), thus meaning, some of what I say could potentially be due to the bias side of me.


Paranormal activity 1
I did not watch this until number 2 was out for a while, after using social networks and hearings a wide range of people saying how scared they were from the film, it really hyped me up. I continued to think "wow, finally a good movie worth watching has arrived". The film follows a couple living in a massive house, it includes some of their history which involves completely invisible spirits who wish to rattle common household objects. After a while, the spirit takes control of the main character and she goes on to killing her husband. The police comes and shoot the now-murderer, therefore ending the movie. To me, there are clearly 2-3 jumpy unsuspecting parts though, the level of this is not too high, i'll class it as a raise of a left brow for about 3 seconds. Often social realism films are cool when performed correctly.


To me, Paranormal Activity 1 is the best out of the 3 films, you do not gain such a relationship to the characters and it just felt like im just watching another episode of Spongebob Squarepants.


Paranormal Activity 2
Number 2 wasn't anything interesting, after a while, i forgot what actually happened, though after watching a small segment, remembered again. It takes place in the past to the present, to the future. Nothing is necessarily wrong with this movie, though it was basically like watching number 1, the linear structure was very similar, the characters played the same roles (though their were few more characters playing smaller roles). Though towards the end, it actually suddenly gets better, the quiet house and the character from the first movie appears to kill.


Overall, this was the 2nd best film.


Paranormal Activity 3
Firstly, if you have not already, WATCH THE TRAILER!

cool right? This one actually battled between the second movie for being the second best with me. Though when i rewatched the trailer, i found that the movie itself did not even use clips from the movie. This in its self does not need explaining as to why the film was the 3rd worse.


I heard from people that Paranormal Activity 3 was possibly the scariest of them all, that as usual it was the best one out there. After watching the trailer, i thought this would be true. I heard on many social networks from many people explaining how they couldn't sleep. I watched it, and it is clear that those who say how scaried they were, clearly overreacted. There is one part in the film, where i knew something was going to happen, really i did, but i did not know exactly when. The scene where the babysitter watches the kitchen and everything drops, that was the probably most jumpy part, to which i raised TWO brows to the segment of the movie.


Poor film, poor quality. Im lacking to explain the film in detail as the film lacks its general purpose. The characters are unrealistic and as usual, there will be a 4th movie. Will this be worse? Obviously yes, though people will still go around saying how they couldn't sleep for days. Though, these movies are aimed towards teens/pre-teens I guess that would justify things.


not the best of movies, though no need to watch all of them, simply watch the first as it seems to be the best. Or watch the second if you dont want to watch the first. And if you dont want to watch either, simply watch the 3rd, though it sucks so bad, that you shouldnt watch it.

Hello Google :D

So, im new to this blogger thing, i'll be testing out new features and hopefully producing really good things to show you guys. I find this blog like an extended version of Twitter, which I also have an account for, lets get this blog thing on de roll!
