Windows 8 rant- full review coming(I think)

Windows 8 it one of the most controversial OS releases since vista. "The interface formerly known as metro that I think is now called modern," or TIFKAMTITINCM has replaced the start menu and begun to invade the desktop.

Good-
Windows 8 is faster in almost every single way.
Metro looks cool(some disagree, I think that's a personal preference)
Works on tablets too
Cheap!- $15 for special upgrades and ~60 for a copy
old laptops without windows 8 touchpad drivers are screwed

Bad-
Metro is wonky(search mostly)
No start orb(start8 by rocketdock)
UEFI boot is another attempt to kill linux
it transmits data to M$ constantly

Ill give a full review sometime soon, I just wrote this while It's reinstalling (I hate old dell laptops)

District 13-Movie Review!

District 13 is an action movie set in(what was) the near future. It was released in 2004, and was set in 2010. The worst Ghettos in France are walled off with no food, water, schools, police, or public services of any kind. Damien, a budding super-spy/star policeman, is put in charge of disabling a neutron bomb that was stolen by a gang led by Taha. Taha importes much of the cocaine, heroin, and most of the other drugs that plauge the district. He is rivaled by Lieto. Lieto was born in district 13 just the same, but he fights to keep his people free of drugs. At one time he had opened a school, which was shut down long ago. The movie opens with Leito desytroying 1 million Euros of stolen Cocaine from Taha. This is inturrupted by K2, Taha's right hand man, invading Lieto's home and slaughtering his men. K2 tries to kill Lieto, but Lieto uses his highly advanced parkour skills to evade his men. After this, Lieto invades Taha's base and captures him, and his sister, whom K2 kidnapped. They flee to the police station to turn Taha in and flee the district, only to discover that it is being abandoned, and the warden must cooperate with Taha's men, putting Lieto in jail and allowing Taha to take Lieto's sister back into the district. Lieto goes insane from this, killing the Police cheif when he apologises to Lieto, effectivly landing himself in jail. A few months pass, and Taha steals a neutron bomb from it's convoy. He tries to tamper with it, activating the timer. Damian is sent to find and defuse the bomb, and is told to trick Lieto into helping him. Lieto sees through this, escaping. Damien meets up with him and explains, and they form an alliance. Lieto intentionally get them captured, and the two give Damian's superiors Taha's bank account number. They escape, and Damien's superiors drain all of Taha's Bank accounts, and he is then killed by his gang because he cannot pay them. K2 is then the head of the gang. He contracts Damien and Lieto to find and disarm the bomb. They find the bomb, and start to enter the disarm code when Lieto realises that they are actually arming it. He stops Damien, and they both know that the bomb was meant to obliterate district 13, and was never stolen. They return to the outside, and fight their way to Damien's superior. He is exposed to the media, and Leito and his sister return to district 13.
This was an excellent action movie and I give it 10/10. It has an equally magnificent sequel, District 13: Ultimatum. The sequel was english dubbed, but the first one can only be found subbed here:http://www.fullmegamovie.com/watch/district-b13-2004-english-online/ It is an excellent sub.

webcomic 2: ctrl+alt+del

control+alt+delete(CAD as I call it) is a very gaming centered comic.
the art is fantastic, and the cast is Ethan(the worlds single weirdest person), Lucas (a fanatical but logical gaming addict), and Lilah(a female Lucas that ultimately marries Ethan), and some supporting cast. The comic strikes a nice balance between long, drawn out stories and quick one liners. There are small amounts of sex(mostly references to porn, occasionally one hints to sex, and rarely some skimpy clothing).

Modding Halo PC

Hello all, I already showed you how to get Halo PC for free, and now you may have finished it, or so you thought.

I will be using a tool known as HHT or Halo Hacker Tools. Despite the complicated sounding name and UI it is very simple, and I even got my parents to use it!

1. download HHT at http://halo2.filefront.com/file/Halo_Hacker_Tools;44736

2. extract the .zip to a folder like C:\ or desktop

3. open said folder. make a shortcut to the .exe that runs the program

4. use it

5. HHT will open. find your halo maps folder which is usually someplace\halo\MAPS

6. select a map. the ones with names like a10 are campaign levels. the farther up the letter/number it is is which level. In windows eplorer, Pillar of Autumn is at the top, and the maw is at the end.

7. find weapons in the middle window and expand it

8. choose the weapon you want to change

9. in the top right window, scroll down to proj (short for projectile)

10. highlight it

11. look in the bottom right window. change the projectile via dropdown.

12. change it! don’t use grenades though I haven't found a way to add velocity, so, you’ll just blow yourself up.

13. fire up halo PC and try it out

14. read other guides, like the one that came with it ;)

SOPA and PIPA

Hello all I came to tel you about SOPA and PIPA. These are 2 bills theoretically to cut down on piracy, but they can block even sites that "condone or don't do enough against piracy." In other words, Facebook, twitter, blogs, even CNET and ourselves! Please do this immediately!
