It was the time when you buy a game, you have a physical game and the manual. Back to home, you start playing the new game. The manual might help you need it. What do you have now? The games are available only on the internet. You have to download them. Create an account on the game websites. Because you can't play if you don't have an account, even if you play solo. The manual??????????????????????????????????????????? No. There's no manual included with the games. You have to go to
Tomorrow is Friday 13th and I'm going to watch horror movies.
Here my list.
- Beetlejuice
- Freddy vs Jason
- Hitchcock's The Birds
I'm not sure if Hitchcock's Psycho is counted as a horror movie.
If only Coleco Chameleon was true, I would buy it Unfortunately, it's seem it's a prank after all.

"Why hasn’t this website included any new images from New Horizons since July? As planned, New Horizons itself is on a bit of a post-flyby break, currently sending back lower data-rate information collected by the energetic particle, solar wind and space dust instruments. It will resume sending flyby images and other data in early September. The team will dive back into data analysis and the pace of news and image releases will pick up with the team's activity. New Horizons – which is healthy an
Yeah. New Horizons finally reaches Pluto at last. http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20150714-2 Frozen plains on Pluto http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20150717 Mountain range on Pluto http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20150721-2 Why I am late to announce great moments like this, is behond me. New Horizons finally reached Pluto and I didn't blog it. It's a piece of history.
I noted some websites now support Unity to play games unstead Flash. So I decided to try Unity too. If the installer is about 700 kb, the whole installation takes forever to load. I suspect the data is about one gig or even more. I first thought Unity is a plug-in for browsers but it's something else. After the whole installation is complete, Unity starts and I get this: WHAT IS THAT??!!! Do I need to open an account to play Unity games? It's more like open a Flash account t
I noted in mid 1980s the disk drive becomes popular to North-America even if it costs more than the computer itself If you think the disk drive at $249 is expensive, take a look when the Commodore 64 is introduced in 1982. http://www.pcmuseum.ca/details.asp?id=15 Commodore 64 is at $599.00 and the disk drive at $399.95 The computer is more expensive than the disk drive. At $249, I would buy a disk drive. I wonder how much a disk drive is in Europe since people keep buying cassett
UHD is the next resolution of the television. I saw few UHD television sets at the store. I first thought the UHD would be the same resolution like the wides creen on movie theater but then, I found on the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-definition_television, UHD is still 16:9 like HD but with higher resolution. What a shame. I would like to see movies on the television without black borders. This UHD televiison is curved. I don't know if it is better than a non-curved t

Pluto would be a gas planet with rings since it has more two moons but I might be wrong. Just guessing.
