Pac Man is 30!

Happy birthday from Good Delicious to the awesome Pac Man, who celebrates his 30th birthday today!

I'm of the generation of 80s kids who grew up with Pacman EVERYWHERE around them - TV, cartoons, magazines, games, lunch boxes, bed sheets, EVERYTHING.

And we still love him just as much!

Also - make sure you check today's Google Doodle for a fantastic Pac Man treat!

Lost Planet 2 - The Trailer of Trailers

I didn't really like the first Lost Planet (360 version). Loved it initially, played quite a bit but then the mech sequences were just too...... boring. And clunky.

Doesn't look like I'll be playing Lost Planet 2 either, even though it promises to be an awesome coop game. Perhaps (if) when it's out on PC.

Still, that doesn't stop your favourite blog from posting about the game, especially when capcom have come up with a trailer that is JUST AWESOME. AWESOME I TELLS YA!!!

Watch it here

AVATAR

We watched AVATAR again tonight, the film everyone's heard about.

Watching it again reminded me of how fantastically visionary and advanced the film is. Mixing cutting-edge technology/computer wizardry with live action filming to create a very believable world, Pandora, with its natives, the Na'vi.

Amazingly, the computer cluster needed to render the film (which is from the same company that rendered Middle Earth for us) is made out of 34 racks: each rack has 32 machines, 40,000 processors, and 104 terabytes of memory.

Even more mind-blowing, the final film footage takes up 17.28 GIGABYTE PER MINUTE of storage. Remarkable, once you consider that the film is 166 minutes!

Best thing is that James Cameron (the director) is a gamer, and his gaming inspired this film the most. The gaming inspirations are to be seen everywhere - from the title of the film, to the main character's alter-ego, to the world of Pandora and it's creatures and habits, it's like watching an amazing video game come to life.

Superb. Watch it, love it.

So THAT'S why Bill wasn't there!
