Lamborghini Countach, on my way home from work

I saw this on my way home from work - it’s a Lamborghini Countach. I want one. When I was younger a had toy of one next to my bed, it was my dream to own one (but white).

Finished Quest for Glory 2 remake

I finished the “Quest for Glory 2” remake a couple of minutes before it was released, which was rather fun - chatting with people on the internet about it, but not being able to say anything, haha. We did manage to find the download URL before it was officially published tough - but only by [...]

I’m providing one of the download mirrors, so I got the game a day early - we were told we’re allowed to play it, but not release it or any information about it until the official release. I grabbed a few [...]

Quest for Glory 2 remake

For those of you who don’t already know, I’m a huge Sierra “quest game” fan - my favorites being the “Quest for Glory” series. The problem is, these game were made ages ago, and feature very low quality/detail graphics, so aren’t as fun as they could be:

Anyway, a long story [...]

Incredible Video Editting!

I didn’t think much of these videos by their titles, but they’re insane.
The first shows they’re able to easily cut objects out of a video - as if they were filmed on a blue/green screen - without having to cut out the object in every frame. It’s called the “Interactive Video Cutout“.
The second shows how [...]

New Theme

I FINALLY got around to changing the theme on my blog… I guess I was kinda inspired by last month’s webstats - so I may as well give my visitors something slightly more pretty to look at.
It’s a modified version of a free theme, and I got Michelle to make the new header - thanks [...]

The Mummy 3 (SUCKED)

My brother and I went to watch The Mummy 3. We both really enjoyed the first two, but knew better than to expect too much from the third one. Nothing could have prepared us for such trash. I was considering walking out, about 15 minutes into it, so after my brother suggested doing so it [...]
