Demigod: Fantasy strategy gaming returns!

Since Warcraft III in 2001, this genre has been lacking of a good-over-the-top-fun game for us to play. Finally, with the release of Demigod, our hopes of enjoying this kind of rush again increases.

Set in a magical world where gods walk among mortals, Demigod blends action, strategy and role-playing elements into a thrilling new experience. Select the Demigod that will lead your minions into battle and unleash the dogs of war against your rivals. Your Demigod will do whatever it takes in order to ascend to true godhood.


Once in the Arena, each Demigod will be joined by support troops that fight to the death as you struggle to seize key control points and slowly turn the tide of war in your favor. And your Demigod will level up during the course of each battle, becoming even more powerful as you unlock new abilities and powers.

It's a brutal conflict of Demigod versus Demigod, where the very ground beneath their feet will tremble and quake.

Here is the exciting trailer for this amazing game.



This game will be released in February 2009, so we'll keep posting videos and screenshot as they are released, meanwhile you may visit its official website here. Here are some screenshots...

USB Batteries

Now, how cool are these? You won't need another battery recharger ever, since you now might be able to use your own usb ports to plug in your new usb batteries.
They're normal AA batteries made of Sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH), they take a few hours to charge but still they're very handy and easy to use. You can buy them at thinkgeek.com for about $20 the pair.

Games now will be rated as movies

Yeah, that's right, at least in England anyway. Apparently, the market for video games has outgrown the actual classification so the British are going with the movie-rating-system for all video games now.

"Why?" - you might wonder. Well, the answer is pretty simple and very predictable: GTA IV.

According to REUTERS: "Ministers have come under pressure to tighten regulation with the release of violent games like Grand Theft Auto IV, a sprawling gangster adventure featuring car-jackings, prostitutes and drive-by shootings."


Who would have thought about it, right?

Come on! Is it really that violent?

Let's start up!!

Ok, let's do this! I've been meaning for a while now, to start a blog about all the weird articles, pics, videos, flash games, and other interesting stuff that I've found hidden in the internet. But, come on! There's so much stuff out there that I had to narrow it down to just a few categories. I'm pretty sure that the title of this blog sells away which these categories are.

So anyway, I hope to be posting quite often and will be trying to write in my best english (notice that english is not my first language). Welcome gamers, gadgeters and goodie-whatever-ers...I hope you have as much fun reading this posts, as I will have posting.

Cheers,
