Sly Cooper Movie Trailer Released


For those of you who were (and still are) fans of the Sly Cooper video game franchise like myself, many of you have probably heard rumours about a Sly Cooper movie in the making. An official trailer was released yesterday for the the Sly Cooper movie, which is set to be released in 2016. Both Sony and Sucker Punch Productions (the game developers of the popular game series) have been working closely with Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment on the movie adaptation of Sly Cooper, according to the film's producer and CEO of Blockade Entertainment, Brad Foxhoven. The movie is to be made entirely in CG, which includes remodeling of the characters.

Although the CG work shown in the trailer looks phenomenal compared to the graphics of any Sly Cooper game ever released, I feel it has veered too off course as far as character models go. It is understandable that in order to create a CG film adaptation of a video game, changes must be made to characters and objects. However, the characters have been altered so drastically in this case that they bare minimal resemblance to the original characters. I am also curious as to whether this movie will have any relation to the story line of the video game franchise or if it will have a story line of its own, perhaps a side story of their adventures outside of the game.

Graphics comparison from the movie trailer to Sly 3:

Apple iWatch Rumours

A few months ago, I posted an article about the new Samsung smartwatch which was released last year. There have been rumours going around for the last year that Apple has now come up with a smart watch of their own, and have named it the "Apple iWatch". It looks as though the iWatch has many similar features to the Samsung smartwatch, such as the ability to text and access social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. Other speculations include the possibility of Bluetooth, maps, and Apple's notorious "Siri" software, a voice-enabled program that interacts with the user through text or speech and provides as much help as it can. It is also likely that the iWatch will be compatible with other Apple products, as it seems to be a trend that Apple has started, probably to show their appreciation to those who have remained loyal to the company by purchasing only Apple products.

Although it is uncertain what the cost is or when Apple plans to release the iWatch, this unofficial video released yesterday looks promising:

Future - How It Was (Official Video)

Some of you may recognize this song from the popular game GTA V while you were cruising around, f***ing sh*t up. Well, Future has finally released a video as well as an official version (No tags) of his song "How It Was". Check it out

Child of the 90s | Internet Explorer

This video is put together really well and compares our childhood memories to the activities we participate in today, similar to those of our past memories but not nearly as entertaining as it used to be. It's good to be reminded once in a while that we had great childhood memories (for the most part) and that we should always cherish those moments.
