Happy 4th of July! ^_^

Remember the WB network? That had shows like Tweety and Sylvester, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, and so many other awesome shows?

Kids’ WB and the WB both ended when the network turned into the CW. On April 28, 2008 however, it was announced that there would be a revival! Currently, you can visit here to see the Kids’ WB network, which features quite a few cartoon shows. As for The WB, it is a private beta, and you can sign up right here.

The WB will be an online site, and will feature series like Buffy, The O.C, and Gilmore Girls, plus many others shows and original series. This is great news for everyone! For up to date news, join the WB Facebook group, here.

When I was a little child, my father and I went to the library and I saw this title jump out at me. I wanted to see it, and I was granted my request. The movie is about 15 boys who get stranded in sea, and get shipwrecked on an island. They learn how to survive, and uncover mysterious things during their stay.

It’s a classic anime movie, made in 1987. The movie is quite rare, and unfortunately can only be found on VHS to this day. The distributors (Celebrity Home Entertainment) went out of business, so it has been very difficult trying to track down who to contact to make this into a DVD format.

Its a wonderful family-friendly movie, but unfortunately the movie has not aged as well. Compared to more recent anime films, this movie is sorely lacking in a variety of departments. Perhaps someone might remake this movie - that would be awesome!

You can purchase a copy of the VHS movie right here, on amazon.com.

Hi! Welcome to another installment of the monthly flashback, where I take a look back at the month.

Personally, June was a bit sleepy. Not many extraordinary video game releases, which gave me time to catch up on games that I have not yet completed - such as Half Life 2. I finally finished all three parts in The Orange Box - it took awhile (even more so because I bought this game last year, lol.)

Meanwhile my YouTube channel has been getting a lot of hits, and I am still continuing to make one video a month.

Flashback

Synopsis: What did I do in June? Well besides starting college once again (I’m taking Medical Ethics and a Kosher course), I’ve been playing a few video games, such as The Orange Box, and Lost Cities. I also purchased WOTB: Commando 3 and enjoyed playing it a bit with my friend Alicia. The Street Fighter HD Hyper II Remix Beta (does these names get any longer?) was included as well - which was okay. I was never too good at the 2-D fighters. I also have been watching The Mole and the final episodes of Passions.

That wraps up the stats! Look forward to next month for two video game reviews, Unreal III and Soul Calibur IV. Also, Project Runway premieres July 16 at 9pm EST on Bravo, as well as Big Brother 10 on CBS, July 13. In seven days, it will be my birthday!

See you in July : )

What is Orisinal?

Its a wonderful website that has amazing mini flash games. The art style is wonderful to look at, and best of all works great on a Wii internet browser.

There are many games to choose from, each with their own unique gameplay style. My personal favorites are:

High Delivery - in which you guide a bottle with balloons to gather flowers in the sky.

Rainmaker - travel around on a cloud washing the birds

The Way Home - guide a squirrel through the rooftops

There is also other things to do, like make flowers arrangements and send them to friends. I recommend everyone to check out the site, right here, and check out the new game just released, Sunny Day Sky.

Your Xbox 360 red rings… and you get it back realizing you can’t play many of the arcade games you purchased.

You bought a new 360, and could not transfer your purchased content. These problems are now all in the past, thanks to a wonderful update that fixes these issues. For information regarding the solution, please click here.

Hi! Welcome to another addition of HappyCube, which involves my friend Alicia (Happy) and I (Cube) discussing about a suggested topic. Last time we talked about creating our own DDR game. Today’s topic is:

If you could live in any time period, which years would you pick, and why?

For this interesting choice, I decided I would rather live in the old days. Like the way old days - going back in time. I would want to live in the time when the Bible was given to the Jewish people so I would know if it is true or not. The life I live is based on us receiving it, and I would loved to have experienced it so I would know my faith is true.

I would miss many things if I lived in those days (which was about 1313 BCE.) I would miss cold drinks, Slurpees, Ice Cream, Video Games, Television - but life back then was much simpler.

I would certainly miss my friends that I have now, but I have a feeling that I would see them no matter what lifetime I lived in. If I had my friends with me during that time period, it would pretty nice. We could talk and go riding on animals around places - plus eat that elusive ‘Mana’ which was food that fell from the sky that tasted like anything we wanted it to.

If I lived in that time period life would not be so hard, as the amount of options available were much more limited back then. I forsee that as time progresses into the future, society will become worse… so I would rather live in the older days than newer. But for now, I will settle for the present time, as that’s what I was born into and this is my life to figure out : )

To see what my friend Alicia has to say about which time period she would live in, please click here.

This week’s song is… not trance!

Yes, it’s a pop song called Beautiful Things.

I really like the style.. it’s peaceful.

Andain - Beautiful Things

In less than two weeks, it will be my birthday.

I have been wanting an HDTV for a long time now - and it seems that I have finally settled on one.

Its a Samsung brand, and it looks great. Its roughly $500, and weighs about 20 pounds.

Its 22 inches, which is wonderful for our apartment and it has a 3000:1 contrast ratio. Here is the link to the product. I will write an update in the future when I receive it and how I am enjoying being in the HD world (finally!)
