Shaytards - Love in its purest form

Image
A look at a fantastic family, amazing entertainment and most importantly my second family By: Frederik About two years ago, while sitting in my room browsing pet videos on YouTube i came across a video called -  " How To Make a MEAN KITTY Love U! " - In this video a friend of the uploader called Shay Carl. His bright mood and positie attitude made me check out his channel. At the time he hadn't uploaded so many videos, although some of his best videos as: - " ShayCarl PWNS His wifes NOOB! " - At the time, Shay had already started on what would eventually be a hugely successful youtube series the daily vlogs: The ShayTards. When i discovered the vlog shay had been doing it for about three months, as of today the ShayTards have existed for about 2.5 years. Shay lives the good life in Idaho, America. Hes married to Katilette aka Mommytard, with this beautiful woman hes got four kids, two boys and two girls, from the top Sontard, Princesstard, Babytard and Ro

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - Impressions

Image
This might just be the best Elder Scrolls to date By: Frederik Bethesda Studios are about to do it again, with games like Morrowind , Oblivion , Fallout 3/New Vegas , Bethesda's got a pretty solid root when it comes to the gaming industry, they have more than one proven to be the absolute elite when it comes to Sandbox MMO's, and as far as i have seen Skryim is going to surpass every single Bethesda game to date. Everything has been improved drastically, the interfaces are much more fluent, you can see every single item in 3d so even carrots you can turn and look at inside your inventory. As seen in the video below this works well, when looking for the armor that fits you, since the menues are quick and responsive and yet very simple. One of the major changes since Oblivion  is the introduction of leveling Perks, when you level up you can choose special skills, i can imagine they will be similar to the ones on Fallout 3 : Lady killer - more damage to female opponents -

Battlefield 3

The Assassin of Activision has arrived By: Frederik EA-Games are bringing out the big guns to once and for all show who's boss. Badass With the entirely new game engine: "Frostbite" Battlefield have never looked better. There has been put huge amounts of work into every single aspect of the game, from lighting, animation, effects to story telling.  Lead designers of Battlefield have even told Game Informer that this game has been designed to outmatch Modern Warfare 3 - Infinity Wards major blockbuster scheduled to release around the same time af Battlefield 3 -  This is very brave words considering the succes of the Modern Warfare franchise, but by the looks of things it might just be possible. Take a look at this screen shot from one of the gameplay trailers. Firstly look at  the light coming from the sun and the way it is reflecting onto the body of the tanks. Frostbite 2.0 > Cry Engine 3 Secondly look at the tanks shadows the anti aliasin

Razer Orochi - Review and Setup Guide

Image
A look at Razers most portable mouse yet. By: Frederik When i was searching the internet for reviews on the Razer Orochi  one of the major reasons that i had my doubts of whenever to buy this mouse or not, was the size. Would it be too small and uncomfortable, or would it fit fine? Well i'm glad i dared to purchase it, because this is the best mouse i have ever used, and i have fairly large hands! The Mouse in all of it's glory The edges and curves of the mouse are all sharp and pointy giving the mouse a raw "batman'ish" look, which is cool and fits the gaming lifestyle. As seen on the pictures above and beneath the edges and the bottom of the mouse are blank black, and the top is a matt grey, very stealthy! A look at the mouse from beneath in its wired form The mouse also comes with a smart little protective case for gaming on the go, and a chord that can be plugged into the front of the mouse if battery life is short, or if care

Crysis 2 Early Multiplayer Review

Image
The Crysis 2 Multiplayer demo just hit Xbox live and i have been playing since By: Frederik Being a fairly large fan of Crysis 1 and Warhead, i was expecting this to be great, and so far it is! This game is like Black Ops on steroids, that mated with the POV camera from Mirrors Edge! The phase is so fast and action packed i don't even know why they added a sniper class, if you sprint and press the crouch button you will slide forward, allowing you to get some extremely cool kills. Or if you find yourself in mid air, press that magic crouch button once again and you will speed towards the ground, and pound the living hell out of the earth beneath you with your scientifically empowered fist. The Air Stamp Crytek does a very good job making you feel like your the only person who's got a nano suit, by making your teammates shout things like "Help! I'm in trouble!" or "Oh God!" this gives the impression that they are all helpless soldiers a

Minecraft and why i love it

Image
A look at this amazing indie game, and what i think of it By: Frederik Minecraft just hit beta stage, but i were fortunate enough to get my copy when it was still in alpha stage, so i have been on the riding this phenomenon of a popularity wave for some time, and i still am! This game is so amazing, even though there is no storyline whatsoever, heck there isn't even any score points. And this is exactly what makes this game so popular, there is nothing you have to do, everything is up to you to decide whenever you are going to build a castle, or a village or a underwater city! Here look at some screens from a server me and my friends have been working on. Our medieval city - With the John Smith Texture Pack Since there is no tutorial in Minecraft the experience can be very confusing at first, but this is in my opinion a good thing because it helps the game force you to be creative right from the beginning. When you start a new world you are tossed into a wilderness with no e

Four of my favorite iPhone Apps

Image
I’ve done the searching now you do the reading By: Frederik  Having been an owner of a lovely iPod Touch  for more than 3 years, i have seen my share of Apps rise and fall, crash and burn, soar and dive, well you get the point! I choose some of my very favorite apps but i left out ones like  Skype  and  Angry Birds  because i figured most people already know these Cut the Rope By:  Chillingo Ltd The objective of the game is to feed the frog-like creature “Om Nom” a piece of candy. Sounds pretty simple? Wrong! The game features loads of brain bending puzzles, and its great fun!  Getting the piece of candy to Om Nom can be simple enough, but most of the levels contains several stars to collect, to get the 100% feeling, and this is where the fun starts.  As any other game Cut the Rope starts with easy tutorial levels as seen on the first picture. All you have to do is swipe your finger across the screen and you will get tree stars, wasn’t that nice of them? Soon enough objects like these

The Pros and Cons of the iPhone 4

Image
A short post of what i think about the iPhone 4 By: Frederik Pros 1. Camera A nice thing about the iPhone is the HD camera, with 5 megapixel. It can capture crisp 720p video, which is impressive for an mobile phone. I recently read about an South Korean film director, who filmed an entire movie with an iPhone 4. And it is going to be interesting to see how it turns out. 2. Retina The Retina display is very nice, it is 4 times better than the old iPhone's display, if compared to a iPhone 3GS the difference is easy to spot. In medical terms retina is the name of a light-sensitive tissue that lies in the back of the eye. It functions the same way film does in a camera. 3. Facetime Facetime is an interesting function, never before have handheld video conversations had such good quality, and been so simple to use. This is a great example of what Apple does best: investigating the market, researching and improving and in the end, developing a much greater product at the time of relea

What will Apple do next?

Image
This is what i believe apple is going to release in the near future By: Frederik As the years have passed, Apple has risen to a level just above everyone else. Whenever someone thinks of a mp3 player they think of iPods, and if one was to mention 10 tablets the iPad would most likely be the first thing they would mention And even though Apples prices (as many would say) are overpriced, they still manage to sell thousands of electronics every month. If you go to Apples  homepage , you will most likely see some kind of handheld on the front page, and that is exactly what i think apple will focus on.  If we take a look at Apples upcoming OS update, called  Lion  we will see that right now that Apple is bringing the handheld experience into the computer. Lets look at this new app called Launchpad which will be available when Lion hits the shelves. So obviously Apple is taking the “pad” from the iPad indicating that this is going to be the same experience as the iPad while the “Launch” d
