Family Guy


Move over Simpsons, Southpark, Family Guy is back on Fox with its 8th season. Oh boy I can't wait for the new episodes!!

Meanwhile this category is for Family Guy fans like me. Come, share, discuss, have fun!!

iPhone






Here are some really cool 3rd party applications for the iPhone!! Don't worry, they are all tried and tested by me and work perfectly well. Some of them sure had their share of problems but I sorted them out and I'd love to solve any of yours. Just leave a comment.



Wallpaper - One of the coolest things that has ever happened to the phone. It enable you to share your wallpaper with others and save everyone else's who has this app. The source is AppTapp Official btw.


No Problems with this one as yet.





Parking Lot - Really cool game and the best you can have to kill time while waiting on a bus stop or just have fun. You have to move the yellow Beetel out of the parking lot. This app is by Big Boss's Applications and Things. Contact HuangzICT.




aMaze - This is one application I think which makes the best use of the accelerometer in the iPhone. The game has a classic wooden balance Labyrinth where players guide a steel through a maze to finish. The source is Ste Packaging. The site - blog.psmxy.org/




Lights Off - A fun and addictive game where you kinda play with lights. The objective is to switch off all the lights. I haven't been able to get past the 6th level. If anyone has pls help!!:p This one's also by Ste Packaging.
There are more to come!

Movies


So begins the Movies section. I am sorry for the delay.

Well here goes!!

Ironman


Rarely does a superhero movie receive critical acclaim as well as box office success. The movie simply put is SUPERB with a big S. Robert Downer Jr. delivers a splendid performance as the rich boy, the playboy, the genius boy, lover boy and ultimately our Hot Rod tinker boy!! He plays out his character easily and flawlessly. Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark heads the Stark Industries, the company that makes weapons for the U.S. Army ooohhh!!! He gets kidnapped by terrorists and is forced to make a big cool missile. Instead our hero creates a war machine IN A CAVE WITH NOTHING BUT SCRAP!!! He returns to America and resolves to kill those terrorists by creating Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia Pepper.. Potts.. Scotts... whatever is beautiful and plays the goody goody secretary. Obadiah Stane is the baldy villain and Jim Rhodes (Terence Howard) is Tony's MIT pal (psst, he's the future war machine).

Overall, the movie is the biggest scorer hollywood has come up with in 2008 with a solid script. Ahh it gives me hope that Superhero movies can have a decent storyline too. I eagerly await the movie's sequel now. Great job Mr. Jon Favreau. Did I mention, the CGI are excellent.

P.S. Don't leave as soon as the credits start rolling.

The Blog!!


As is evident from the obscurity of the blog's URL and title, I take an immense liking to the Lord of the Rings trilogy (the book essentially). The magnum opus never ceases to amaze me!
Much of that later.
The important question is what is in this blog for you? One is moved to think, 'ahh... its another of those fan sites with loads of stuff on a book I haven't read.'
Well no, I mean of course it will also feature an exclusive section of my favorite book, it will also contain other things.
In it's nascent stages i.e. for now the blog will feature content like movies, music, some games, etc. As it evolves, we will feature some really great stuff!
