Whitewashing in a (nut)shell

Whitewashing in a (nut)shell

GHOST IN THE SHELL was recently released to the world’s cinema screens and people are up in arms on the internet about “whitewashing”. The phenomenon Hollywood created way back in the early days of cinema by casting American actresses and actors as Asian, African or Hispanic roles. See Marlon Brando as Sakini in The Teahouse of the August Moon or John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The…

Top Gear races head first to disappointment.

Top Gear races head first to disappointment.

It has felt like an eternity since car lovers have been able to enjoy Top Gear since it was cancelled last year and that eternity continues. While there was a certain charm about the premier episode of the latest car show, there was missing chemistry between our two new main hosts. With little changed the show still managed to feel different in all the wrong ways. (more…)

Recently, Pontuz Bergman of Swedish Euphoric duo Wasted Penguinz took to Facebook to share his opinion on Hardstyle. Opinions are never right nor wrong, except for this one. The status is as follows – I’m a massive Hard EDM fan, and I mean that for everything from Subground to Terrorcore which ranges in BPM from 140 to 200 and beyond depending on the artist and their style.

Why we need more games like Need For Speed ProStreet!

Why we need more games like Need For Speed ProStreet!

Games simply are not what they used to be, especially car orientated games! The internationally connected car community continues to grow at a phenomenal rate and demand for more exposure doesn’t seem to be going any where, so how come game developers are forgetting about us ? Need For Speed was at the core of every car junkie’s down time. (more…)

We’ve all had the dream of owning a very fast, very expensive car and driving at ludicrous speeds on a winding or open road some where in the world. For most, it remains just a dream. But for the people of money, dreams become reality. Which is a bit sad to think isn’t it ? What if it wasn’t ? What if you could achieve this dream, from the comfort of your own home ? Through gaming equipment and some pretty nifty games to go with, you can do just this. Minus the air blowing through your hair (buy a fan). In recent years we’ve seen an increase in the production of Racing Simulator Cockpits. These beauties of gaming machinery are sometimes just as good as the real thing. Minus the risk. You’ve your rally cockpits, Formula cockpits and some rather interesting cockpits for personal use. With companies like Vesaro, GT Omega and RSeat the possibility of feeling the thrill of a fast car is pretty easy. These machines cost a lot of money sometimes and if you do have the money, then we should look at some of the best from said companies. The cheaper and dearer variants. I do apologise in advance for the change from British pound, to Euro and back to the British Pound.

Vesaro I Evolve Extreme Special Edition

This is the extreme end of commercially available gaming rigs, retailing at £45,930 without shipping or customization. Adding three 55 inch monitors to the mix, curved OLED monitors at that, there is a total of 165 seamless inches of gaming visibility for your enjoyment. Adding to the visuals is one of Vesaro’s level 5 industry grade PCs with a liquid cooled graphics card packed with industry leading components.

This rig uses 6 inch motion technology for a precise and immersive virtual driving experience that very few other gaming rigs can match. Using 4 actuators, I Evolve Extreme SE matches every degree of motion as accurate as is possible with the tech at hand. The sound is delivered via Logitech’s Z906 THX 5.1 Surround System across 5 outputs situated two at the bottom rear of the bucket seat, two at the bottom front of the chassis and a final output directly in front of the player. For the manual gearbox player, Vesaro offers the addition of a left or right arm for their added Thrustmaster TH8RS Shifter.

Added into the package deal is all the accompanying cables for the output (obviously) as well as a keyboard, F1 wheel, BMW GT Wheel and Clubsport V2 Pedals, a triple display mount required for the triple 55″ visual output, brackets for aforementioned speakers and your very own Cobra Evolution Pro Vesaro Signature bucket Racing Seat, which probably still isn’t its full name.

All in all, if you have the money for it, go for it. That is, if you have the space of course. The entire rig once combined with a gaming device such as a desktop PC or console roughly takes up most of the space of a regular sized sitting room, or an entire regular sized bedroom (cable and breathing space included). This is the track car equivalent of gaming, not your daily.

From the pedals to the bucket seat there is a stretch of 1810mm in length (that’s just about 2 metres) and 699mm in width (that’s just under a meter). Adding in the motion rig, it takes up 1940mm of length, 825mm in width and 719mm in height and weighs in at 132.7KG. The display width is 2030mm (or 2 metres) and 1190/1340mm (1.1/1.3 metres) high.

It ships with a 10 year warranty, powder coat black finish, modular components for your precise gaming set up, adjustable pedal length and either a right or left arm for a gear stick. It also looks pretty. You can find it over on Vesaro’s website.

RSeat RS1 M4A (plus add-ons)

NOTE : The “D-BOX” motion system is ONLY compatible with PC.

This is when we get into the “build not bought” territory of gaming rigs. RSeat don’t seem to offer a complete “one-click” package, but they do offer most of the necessary components for your rig. Their chassis, at the high-end range, is the RS1 M4A. This comes in at €12,499 alone. For the add-ons, what is actually needed to play a game, the steering wheel of choice (Thrustmaster T300RS Ferrari GTE Edition Racing Wheel) will set you back a further €309, the sound system being the same as Vesaro at €316, the pedals (ClubSport V3) at €360, the shifter (TH8A) at €169 and the stands at the biggest RSeat offer will cost you an additional €460. Totaling €14,113. The largest monitors that seem to be supported are 42″ displays. If we choose LG just like Vesaro (simply for the quality) then the cost gains an additional €1,140 (3 x 380). Leaving you with a €15,253 hole in your bank account.

The motion platform also comes in black powder coat finish just like the Vesaro as well as a white powder coat. Although no specifications on their website about the maneuverability of the platform, it also comes with 4 actuators. The pedal plate rests fully flat but can be adjusted up to 60°. It also comes with an adjustable keyboard and mouse tray for you PC gamers out there as well as a mount for a button box or tablet. The seat is finished in leather on a gloss black metal frame on sliders that allow for an adjustment of 90mm.

As with the Vesaro, RSeat also offer Buttkicker support as well as a mount to go with. All Buttkicker models are of course supported. There is a shifter kit obviously included as well as a speaker mount for your Logitech Z906 Surround Sound unit. To aid your assembly efforts, RSeat will also throw in all required tools, screws and instructions as to not leave you in the dark. Their warranty is sadly only 2 years but they do offer 24/7 support.

The space you will need for this Frankenstein setup is 1625mm in length for the chassis, 1255mm in height for the seat as well as 800mm for the width. The pedal area is 350mm and total weight being 140KG. The display area (maximum) is 2700mm in width and 1100/1350mm in height. It also adds 46KG to the total weight. You can find the guts of most of this stuff over on RSeat’s website.

GT Omega Pro Racing Simulator Supreme – RS6 Seat (plus add-ons)

Now I give you an affordable rig. Sadly, this one does not have a motion chassis, so you will have to just imagine the feeling of every pivot, bump, knock and crash. By affordable, I mean really affordable, at £470 including their floor mat and Fanatec Shifter Brackets. It’s the only one to even offer a floor mat. But it does not come with the add-ons needed to play a game and the 3 27″ monitors it supports. Adding £350 for the same Logitech sound system as before, £115 for the same shifter, £311 for the same racing wheel and £360 for the pedals. Then the 24″ LG Smart monitors will set you back £170 a pop, but if 28″ monitors some how fit, then £180. This brings the costs up to £2,116 (24″) or  £2,146 (28″).

The cockpit isn’t as spectacular as the two above but it is still better than nothing and best for your buck. It is made of a sturdy GT Omega Racing Chassis frame with an adjustable wheel mount, rear speaker mounts, gear stick mount, keyboard tray, angled pedal plate, adjustable and reclinable red/black bucket seat and your assembly tools are included too, of course. But no word on their website’s product page for their warranty.

This cockpit is also less cumbersome for your home, making it far more accessible and reasonable to explain to your missus why you blew your future child’s college fund on gaming peripherals. Weighing only a minute 45KG, the cockpit is 1550mm in length, 540mm in width and 1120mm in height. The monitor stand is 23KG (excluding monitors) and is 1210mm wide, 650mm in depth (length) and 1100mm in height. The mounting plate comes with VESA compatible holes of 75 x 75mm, 100 x 100mm, 200 x 100mm and 200 x 200mm.

This is definitely your best buy for an enhanced gaming experience for you die hard car lovers and is not as noticeable in your home as a motion ready simulation cockpit. You can find this rig over on GT Omega’s Website. You also get a nifty drinks holder.

Of course these simulation cockpits are not for your average racing game, GT Omega making the exception, so some games that are ideal for your best enjoyment are listed below. Need For Speed will work, somewhat, on your simulation motion cockpits, but not as effective as Forza or Gran Tursimo.

And as always, be sure to check out our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter by clicking on either, or both, images below!

Assassin’s Creed has become one of my most loved gaming franchises and the news that has surfaced recently has strengthened that claim. For starters, Ubisoft will finally be skipping a year to aid development. Secondly, it will have similar open world mechanics to The Witcher 3 and I cannot praise that game enough then lastly it is apparently set in ancient Egypt, near 2000 years ago. I was a massive ancient Egypt nerd as a kid. We have already caught glimpses of the game and some details have been leaked, revealed and confirmed so I will gather them all up for you, the reader. Currently the Assassin’s Creed franchise is experiencing what is known as “series fatigue”, that is when you overload your fans with experiences to a point that not even if you have ground breaking achievements, they will be tired of your content. The fact that Ubisoft is taking a year out to pursue a much more detailed and polished gaming experience speaks volumes. While they do believe Unity’s poor reception is reason for Syndicate’s poorer than average sales, it is simply because fans received too much to digest. Making an annual title is treaky business and that is seen in the Call of Duty series more than any other. We’ve had 3 Modern Warfare games and 3 Black Ops games, to say the least, I simply stopped buying them. With Assassin’s Creed, it took me a year to get my hands on AC 3 and I haven’t bought one since. This is down to the fact that I still have a third generation PS3. The past two titles in the franchise have been exclusively current generation titles. In 2016, I will finally feel like I won’t be missing out come November.

With this year off it gives myself and other fans a chance to breath for once. It adds the whole “absence makes the heart grow fonder” idea into the franchise. This isn’t the only decision Ubisoft is making about the series. With Empire being the 10th game in the main story arc, or 9th if you are the type to not count Rogue, it is time the series had a change up of operations. This includes how we explore the world the developers create, how we eventually interact with our targets, how we handle side quests and added elements like armour, artefacts and weapon collecting and right down to the very core of our gaming experience as a whole. What we do know for definite is that the developers want Empire to be more Witcher 3 open world orientated with heightened RPG elements and that it is set roughly 3500 or more years ago, making it the furthest back in history we have gone. Also, it was originally dubbed Project Osiris.

The reason we are so sure as a community that this is more than likely the next game in the franchise, is because on one of the Abstergo Emails during Black Flag we see a character looking at the Pyramids of Giza and said character looks eerily similar to that of a “leaked” screenshot of Project Osiris. Which also points that this idea has been circling around since 2013 and when the game falls in 2017, the character and setting would theoretically have been an idea for 4 years. The game seems to take place during the 4th dynasty before the completion of Khafre’s pyramid in approximately 2520 B.C.E.

With the decision to have a greater role playing game architecture and open world experience similar to that of The Witcher 3, the series will hopefully receive a much needed revival of sorts. The areas outside of the main cities always seemed identical in feel from game to game and that feeling was a dead one. While Egypt is mostly desert this means that the few areas of exploration we will experience will have to peak our interest. Side missions, collectibles and area specific loot are fine and dandy but adding a tomb robbing mechanic would be interesting to say the least. This means that the main character could increase their infamy while simultaneously boosting their assassin guild’s wealth. So here’s to hoping something of that nature is added.

The role playing elements they add are interesting to think about. While we have not been given any clear direction in what we will expect, ideas of religious ceremonies, owning property, having economic responsibilities and detailed crafting may finally be implemented at a scale that actually affects the story itself. Egypt was a superpower at one point, so affecting the economy could be a real idea to romance with. It would give us a feel like we can actually affect how the world we explore works, and that’s always welcome. I always feel like the immersion of RPG’s often breaks when I buy dozens of resources and the merchant acts like it’s a common occurrence. Little details like that really add to an experience and would give the gamer reason to travel to more areas to buy more items. Ancient Egypt was also the first use of penicillin but in a much more basic form as the mold that grows on bread. Adding this mechanic into the game as maybe a healing factor or even a slight reference by a character makes the bit of difference that matters to some gamers. Egyptian’s also had an ancient battery and what looks like giant light bulbs so that’d be interesting to delve into.

Although, by taking a year off from an annual title consumers will expect a much more polished and well rounded experience for their money. If Ubisoft fail to deliver, it could bring marketing disaster. It is a risky move that adds even more heat to a project than is already there to begin with. As a consumer I hope the next installment actually works too, I mean glitch wise. Unity had and still has a habit of characters without faces, Arno being caught on invisible ropes flapping his arms and missions simply not loading properly leading to the game being impossible to finish. The extra year Ubisoft takes to make the next installment could be used partly as quality assurance … I know I have high hopes.

The news of AC : “Empire” really intrigues me and I hope it revives a series I still love even with its weird direction in story development and unexpected fourth wall breaking events. We will have to see what PR and Ubi CEO have to say in the coming months about the rumours and leaks but until then, why not follow us on Twitter and Facebook ?

Assassin’s Creed : “Empire” Assassin's Creed has become one of my most loved gaming franchises and the news that has surfaced recently has strengthened that claim.

[alcohol-has-a-me-problem]

Today Marvel started the hype train on its merry way to screens and minds everywhere with the trailer for Captain America : Civil War, which hits theatres on May 6 2016. Not to be confused with the comic series of the same name, the movie adaptation of Civil War only shares two main similarities. The first being a contract of sorts that puts control over superheroes so they can’t run around with complete free will. The second is that the two sides are led by Cap on the “anti” side and by Tony Stark, a.k.a Iron Man, on the “pro” side. So I’m here to break some of said trailer down and make it easier to understand what is going on. Starting off with …

Location, Location, Location …

The easiest and quickest thing to talk about is, of course, the locations.

First and foremost, the location where Bucky is being held seems to be from the same scene as the police raid. Considering the police team are wearing vests that say “POLIZEI”, we can determine that this is Germany. To add to this, the airport scene contains vehicles which have the words “Flughafen Leipzig-Halle” which is an international airport in Schkeuditz, Germany.

This is the scene of a battle between Cap’s New Avengers and Tony Stark next to buddy Jim Rhodes, a.k.a War Machine, with possible help from cinematic new comer T’Challa, a.k.a Black Panther. Trailer spoiler – It doesn’t seem to end too well for Rhodes as his suit’s power core and mask are ripped away as well as the overall suit taking a fair bit of damage.

We see Cap drop kick yet another armed policeman off of a jeep as well as staring from a window at Bucky who seems to be on the run at this point possibly before the events of Germany, the trailer doesn’t make it clear. This is sunny Puerto Rico and quite obvious with the background building reading “Farmacia”. We also see that Bucky doesn’t have the luxury of a change of clothes .. how sad.

Of course we also have the Avengers’ headquarters. Which seems to have received a few face lifts since we last saw it. This location purely serves to provide a slap in the face to Cap and all superheroes as they are introduced to the Sokovia Accords. Basically a contract of sorts to provide a watchful eye over all superheroes.

We then have the generic downtown locations which will serve as the necessary location for conflict and mayhem, as per all action movies. Which brings us to a seemingly snowy location at the end of the trailer that serves as the literal punching grounds for Cap, Bucky and Stark. The teams are set in the scenes we see quite clearly. Which makes my job easier.

Good vs. Bad

No great action movie is complete without conflict. What better conflict than two seemingly unstoppable forces ? One force being anti nanny is being led by Captain America. The super-soldier who was frozen in time and has demigod like abilities of speed, strength, agility and endurance. The other force is pro nanny and is led by Tony Stark. Super genius who happens to be wearing what looks like the Bleeding Edge armour for this movie. We will get to that particular point later. Two greater friends could not be pitted against each other.

Cap has the help of his New Avengers as well as old friend Bucky. If the casting is anything to go by, we will also have Vision back on our screens. Which is a massive advantage to Cap and could explain the gaping hole in War Machine’s chest where there should be an arc reactor but only if Vision is late to the fight. This side has many advantages including Scarlet Witch who can manipulate the minds of any who stand in their way; Bucky who is practically a lesser Captain America; Falcon who can fight either Iron Man or War Machine in the air and of course, Hawkeye, because every team needs someone who has a finite amount of arrows and no superpowers.

Sharon Carter, a.k.a Agent 13, who was a love interest for Cap in the comics returns but was his protector in Winter Soldier. Originally the younger sister to Peggy Carter, another love interest, she was reintroduced as her niece. After the events of Winter Soldier she enlisted in the CIA and could still be a possible ally to Captain America.

On the other side Stark has his good friend War Machine who is simply a watered down Iron Man with some heavy machine guns; every law enforcement agency on the planet in hunt of rogue superheroes and T’Challa who is an enhanced human just like Captain America and Bucky who also has an entire suit made of vibranium, the same indestructible material as Cap’s shield, considering the metal is native to Wakanda, T’Challa’s home. Ant-Man is also on the cast list and as the comics show, he is on Stark’s side.

Crossbones also returns for this movie and he was left in pretty rough shape at the end of Winter Soldier. Unofficially this means he is on Stark’s side.

General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross returns not only to hand the Sokovia Accords over to the superheroes seeing as he is the US Secretary of State but could also set up future movies to have a Red Hulk. Now I am pretty certain this guy is simply just anti superhero. He is recognised as a villain but will quite obviously play an anti-hero for the sake of helping Stark. What is great about this is that a possible end credits scene could introduce Red Hulk .. or Spiderman.

Lastly we have Black Widow who seems to be on neither side. We see her talking to Captain America in the trailer telling him to stay out of it which get’s the response from Cap that she could arrest him, but we also see her inside a hanger at the airport as it goes boom telling him that he knows what is going to happen and questions if he really wants to punch his way out of it but we don’t see her face off against anyone. It seems that her conscience is weighing heavily.

… but he’s my friend.

Not only does the movie focus on a main villain who we have yet to be introduced to according to the official synopsis, friendship comes into question.

This movie has two plot lines that combine. The greater line is that Sokovia happened and that was a major incident. Not only did Stark create the sentient android that caused the mayhem, he also created the Iron Legion who banded together under control to aid Ultron in nearly eradicating all human life as we know it. Both of these related actions would cause Stark to be pro Sokovia Accords as he may still view it has his fault, which it actually is. It was his lust for knowledge that created Ultron in the first place.

This event showed the world just what people like Captain America and Iron Man are capable of. While events like the Battle of New York, which involved Manhattan being invaded by the Chitauri army under the control of the god Loki, and Malekith’s near destruction of London showed the destructive forces that exist, it was the heroes that fixed the situation at hand. With Sokovia, the heroes were the original evil. Stark agrees with the people, stating that without restraint they are no better than the villains.

As rogue heroes, both Falcon and Captain America have their equipment confiscated. We see this in the trailer but it is unclear whether this is early on in the movie or not. What is clear is that at this point Stark had tried to reason with Cap and get him to agree to the Sokovia Accords.

The second story line is that Bucky is a wanted man. It appears that he is being blamed for the explosion we see and is also wanted for obviously being The Winter Soldier in the first place. Essentially he could be seen as a war criminal if all the blame from the events of the last Captain America movie are put on him.

The previously mentioned T’Challa is also known as the Black Panther. In a scene we see him running after Bucky and being pursued by Captain America. This tells us that indeed Bucky is being blamed from the explosion as it seemed to involve politicians. It is very likely T’Challa knew someone at that meeting, possibly someone very close. With this addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe we have a human superhero who is on par with both Cap and Bucky, which is why we see all three at seemingly equal distances running at seemingly equal superhuman speeds.

Captain America will go to the end of the world for his dear friend. It is no surprise that T’Challa is not in sight when we see Iron Man face off against the old American heroes in what looks like a bunker. Cap needed the help of Vision to beat Stark in the comic event as the suit of armour Stark wore was especially tuned to fight Captain America as it knew all of his punches and moves before even he knew. With the information about the introduction of the Bleeding Edge armour, Cap will definitely need the help of his friend and possibly need to fight dirty or find a home advantage.

Finding the home advantage.

This movie puts two of the strongest superheroes against each other, so there will need to be dirty fighting or some advantages to use against each other. While Captain America has the help of Winter Soldier, this will not be enough and while Stark has his allies, it also will not be enough.

The reason why even two superhuman soldiers could be very small in the grand scheme of things when it comes to Iron Man enemies, is because of the MARK MLVI armour. It resembles the Bleeding Edge armour, but could take some of the abilities of the Extremis armour instead. The latter was used in the comic event and Stark revealed that it had recorded every punch Captain America ever threw and knew his next move before even he did. If it takes power design from the BE armour, it will have multiple repulsors to power the suit, ultimately making it more powerful than any human sized suit in the series to date.

Even with a suit of armour that knew Cap better than even himself, Stark had one flaw that would render his armour useless. His power core. Considering Rhodes is missing his very own reactor at the end of the airport fight scene, it brings the comic event to mind. Vision only appears in one single frame in the entire seven volume event. The only reason he does appear is to reach through the back of Stark’s armour and through the power source, rendering it completely useless. Cap nearly kills Stark right away.

Then there is the ability that both Cap and Bucky have of superhuman speed. T’Challa is key to catching both on foot and in places that neither Stark nor War Machine can go in their suits. T’Challa’s very own suit is made from vibranium which means it will stand up to the impact blow from Cap’s shield and even Bucky’s arm. His claws are razor sharp and a formidable weapon making close quarters combat tricky for any adversary. Along with a rather stunning suit, he has heightened capabilities beyond the superhuman physical feats. He has senses that match and beat Spiderman at the best of times making it near impossible to sneak up on him. In the comics Iron Man had to use the Plastic Ghost armour to sneak up on him and that suit had tech to make it incredibly silent including tanks of CO2 to make Stark’s breathing silent.

Captain America also has insight from the inside. Black Widow seems to be giving Cap pointers on whether to stay out of the fight or not. While she may be pro nanny, that doesn’t mean she won’t help out an old friend. That’s the thing about a civil war. You put two enemies of the same kind against each other and neither side is seen as the true victor as you may lost casualties who were once your neighbours. Both Stark and Black Widow show that while they are fighting for the greater good, it may not be that simple on their conscience fighting their comrades. On the flip side, Black Widow could also be of help to Stark as she will know more about what Cap’s intentions are.

The outcome.

It is unclear which side will triumph but it is safe to say it is the pro Sokovia Accords side but not without great loss. They will lose the trust of their friends and fellow Avengers for a time and we may see a rift in the team that may never repair itself; Stark’s tech might come under investigation yet again; there may be a death of a dear friend if they choose to do so; or we may lose a character for a time until they are needed.

It is obvious that the pro side must win. For superheroes to continue to be allowed do what they want without protest and for them to even seen as heroes to the people, the Sokovia Accords must be agreed upon.

Cast, trailer and posters.

I wasn’t going to leave you without some goodies. Below is a list of the confirmed cast so far, the synopsis, the trailer which premiered on Jimmy Kimmel Live and of course the movie posters.

Sennheiser – Reshaping Excellence

A little while ago, on Facebook, I shared a link to an interactive experience created by Sennheiser.

I did not know what that monument represented in the real world, nor why the sounds people created were similar. I did not even know what Sennheiser was trying to advertise with this…

Chat rooms are like flings.

Ever join a chat room or something like Omegle ? A lot of the time you find weird, weird people. But in the deepest reaches you find perfection. Those people that are not abrupt or those people that are just, cool. You know, the type of people you just fall to.  Flings never lasts though. As sooner or later they have to leave, but that is okay. What you had is gone and you must move on. Some times, however, you have to deal with a prematurely ended conversation. How does it end ? How did the cake turn out ? Was Michelle really that drunk last night ? You’ll never know!  At this point you’ll move on only to try and find them again and again! Sadly, to no success. That’s sad to me. That you can find a person that you feel a level of equality with and then .. poof. There gone.

Game To Movie : Did They Work ? (Part 1)

Next year’s holiday season brings us the release of the Assassin’s Creed movie, December 21 to be exact. So in light of this, we’ll look back to past Game-to-Movie adaptations.

Sometimes we’re glad to admit which ones we fell in love with, because they…
