Elvis-Virtus

Jax and Kano awake gingerly from the explosion while the gunfight between Stryker's men and the Black Dragon clan continues. Sonya sneaks up behind three of Kano's men and maliciously kills them. She then enters a security control room. Upon observing Kano running from Jax on a closed-circuit monitor, she flees to find them.


Jax, still demanding to know where Sonya is being held, engages another fist fight with Kano, who continues to taunt him with threats against Sonya. This sets Jax off in a rage and he retaliates with increasing force. After savagely beating Kano into a stupor, Jax lands one final left hook squarely on Kano's eye, cracking the socket and dislodging his eyeball. Sonya arrives to see Kano unconscious and Jax resting. She takes out one final henchman but not before he tosses a grenade towards her partner. Jax rises and runs towards Sonya to keep her safe from the blast.

What can I say, I was blown away with the opening sequence as if my imagination when I was reading the novels turned to reality. I was amazed how they depicted the Great Ice wall and also the land of Westeros especially Winterfell. * If you have a hard time knowing the geography of Westeros, it is basically like Italy with 7 kingdoms (Like Rome,Naples,Turin etc.), it has a wall on the north that blocks off other clans, and on the west across the ocean is Pentos were the heir of the Mad King resides. Think Westeros as Italy, the northern wall is somewhat the Rubicon which separates the Old roman empire from the Gauls and across the Mediterranean is Greece which is depicted as Pentos here. Some little history for you.

The biggest news in the gaming world last week was the rumors about Nintendo’s Wii 2, also known as ‘Project Café’. And maybe two of the talk about topics about it are its processor and its controller. According to rumors, Project Café’s processor is much powerful compared to the Xbox360 and PS3, it seems as no surprise to me because when I think about it,  PS3’s CPU, CELL, a 3.2 GHZ microprocessor that was developed by Sony with IBM and Toshiba is already old and in fact, the one inside the PS3 is the first commercial model which is really under par with the new CELL processors being made today. The Xbox360 uses a CPU which is as powerful as the CELL but has an architectural difference compared to the CELLS as this one uses 3 cores vs. a single core for the CELL.

I recently changed browser from Orca and Chrome to just one browser which is Opera. I was looking for a browser that has the features of Orca/Avant that I really liked and the performance of Chrome. I really liked Orca (have been using it for 4 years) because it makes my browsing experience a lot easier with its address nickname features, its online password storage and mouse gestures. But with its aging engine (Firefox 3.0), I’m starting to feel its downside with the newer sites that uses the latest CCS and HTML commands and keeps on crashing with multiple tabs streaming videos (about 10 – 15 websites at once). I decided to move all my bookmarks and passwords to chrome because of its performance with the newer sites but I was quickly turned off because of the lack of features and stupid plug-ins.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (what a long title) is a prequel to the Planet of the Apes series, The 5 original films not the 2001 Tim Burton Debacle. If you don’t know what the planet of the apes is about, it is basically chronicles the fall of mankind and the rise of some kick ass intelligent apes through the eyes of George Taylor and some protagonist apes.
