First of all, Linux Ubuntu bases its version number on years and months. The 9 stands for 2009, and the 10 stands for the 10th month. Which is when they release a new version.

Knowing that, you must’ve come to a point where you realise we’re in the 10th month right now. Which means Ubuntu 9.10 is not too far away – in fact, the beta has already been released!

So, what would  be the changes in the upcoming release of Ubuntu? Well, here’s a quote from wikipedia!

“The desktop installation of Ubuntu 9.10 is expected to include, among other programs, GIMP 2.6, GNOME 2.28, Mozilla Firefox 3.5, OpenOffice.org 3.1, and Empathy Instant Messenger instead of Pidgin. The default filesystem will be ext4, and the Ubuntu One client, which interfaces with Canonical’s new online storage system, will be installed by default. It will also debut a new application called the Ubuntu Software Center that will unify package management. Canonical intends for this application to replace Add/Remove Programs (gnome-app-install) in 9.10 and possibly Synaptic, Software Sources, Gdebi and Update Manager in Ubuntu 10.04. Karmic Koala will also include a slideshow during the installation process (through ubiquity-slideshow) that will highlight applications and features in Ubuntu.”

So, make sure you stay tuned at the ubuntu.com website!

Screenshot (bootscreen):

The game seems to be as easily playable as on the PS3. The graphics look amazing and it even seems that in this version the sackboys and girls are getting new moves. Lets hope that the game really is how it looks in the video!

I know the videos stops after 2 minutes 17 seconds. When a new correct video is uploaded I will replace this link, nevertheless! enjoy!

[Update] It seems that DirectTV just stopped filming the dance contest, which is a pity…

Now of course it wasn’t a real big surprise to hear that they announced a new character, but what made it a surprise was that it was the monk.

Please first watch the video below which is official Monk Trailer Video.

The Monk seems to be a mix between the Diablo II assassin and the paladin, combining agile attacks which look like magic and martial arts.

He uses many of the abilities which can be seen in old asian martial arts movies. I think this character will be a big hit with everyone since we all like to go pew pew martial arts on someone’s ass.

The tactic of the monk is a bit like the one of the assassin in Diablo II. Attack the foe as fast and as hard as you can and then move away, rinse and repeat.

I’ll stop with the annoying text if you would all please join me in watching the gameplay video below!

So the monk, the fourth character in Diablo III seems to be very fitting to the game and seems to be a lot of fun. What is next!

For this review I am going to try something new, a new style of explaining a movie.

What I want to do is review the movie by going from genre to genre. I might create some overlapping content but I don’t think it will be so troublesome.

Let us start with action, which is the movies main genre. The movie starts off at a slow pace, Jason Statham who plays the main character Chev Chelios , lying on his bed and suddenly waking up. He feels strange, like something is wrong and tries to get up and starts to feel really bad. He is getting pains in his heart. He then sees a CD which contains video footage of the night before. It seems then that he has been inserted with some Chinese drug. After hearing this he turns red of rage and start smashing everything. During the rest of the movie he pursues into many battles raging from fist fights to pistol carnage. When seeing the  action that is present in the movie I sort of feel that it could described similarly to just going on a random rampage killing spree in the game GTAIV.

Let’s move onto insanity. I marked this movie with a genre of insanity because of the things that happen. Some of the action in this movie seems so unreal that you would actually mark it as insane!! I am not sure if there is that much insanity in the movie but I do feel that this genre should be in the description of the movie just because it is Crank.

Comedy, ah yes… in every action movie we can find some comedy factors. In Crank, comedy is seen everywhere. Because of the feeling of the unreal action, you sort of feel like some of it is funny. When Chev (Jason Statham) goes to his girlfriends house to get her to safety he suddenly has to do a lot of house chores because his girlfriend is not ready yet. He slowly realizes that his heart is going to stop again. Inventively he picks up a waffle iron, sticks his hand in it and closes it, this giving him an adrenaline rush which makes his heart pump blood again.

Sex… These days no movie is good without a little bit of sex in it. In Crank, however, you can combine the sex with a hint of action and a flair of comedy. I will not go more into the details about sex in this movie but these scenes are ones that you won’t easily forget.

Romance, the one genre you wouldn’t think to find in a movie like Crank. Well, even with such a diverse movie when it comes to its genres, romance does play a part. Here you have to think of the relationship between him and his girlfriend Eve. Even  though he looks, acts like a coldblooded killer he still does go his girlfriend and tries to makes things right. In my eyes an assassin like himself would have just left her, even better… would not have gotten a girlfriend, but of course this guy does. Romance is not seen a lot through out the movie, and when it pops up it doesn’t stay for long.

Crank, a movie that I have watched many many times over, still enjoying it as much as the first time I saw it.
