A sequel to my last post about Avatar : The last airbender, this post is to express my joy and satisfaction after watching the 3rd disc of Book 2 - Earth. Got my disc on 29th May and just closed the DVD player window that was running this disc.
The 5 episodes on the disc were great to watch. Certainly 2 and half ours of my life well spent. I am certainly not going to describe the episodes and give away the plots. But if you are an animation fan, be sure to watch this disc. It has some great animation sequences (especially in a few fight routines) and totally worth searching for.
Have fun! Go Aang! (and Soka and Tof and ofcourse the beautiful Katara)
Heres what I did the other day, to keep the devil away since idle mind can be his workshop, I decided to sketch, scan and photoshop!
The above is not 1 complete drawing or sketch, but a composition I made using all the small pictures I drew. (The reason I tell you this is tomorrow if you ask me to show this picture in my sketch book, don't be surprised to see individual parts of it) And photoshop has been only used for creating the composition, nothing else. As in no retouching or anything (because I don't know how to :P )
a glorious sunset through my lens atleast in reality made a beautiful sense the vivid colors the watery shimmers the sky changing from blue to red - blackening the fiery sphere changing hemisphere ending the day a lovely way...
[for original 2112x2816 6MP pic, email me. (Or wait till I upload it somewhere :D) Its really beautiful. ]
A blank page waiting to be written on - scribbled with any gibberish is what I hope on, as, My stupid rhymes, or the amateur art forms are the best lines that I can give it, (other than my bills and accounts)
I wonder what this
page was hoping for and whether it got whatever it waited for. Or did I just play the same game that He plays with us when unexpected things happen just like this work by my pen.
So this is something that I just thought about while in the shower. You will find it to be either really funny or awfully stupid.. .but here goes -
We all hear all this talk about 'going Green'. Technically it means all that hybrid power use etc.
But considering the recent cricket world-cups, you can make another conclusion Have you noted that in most cases when an under-dog has beat a big-gun-on-paper team, the under-dog team's color has been green?! Oh yeah! Think think.... 96 world cup - Kenya beats West Indies.. Kenya color? Green... 99 world cup - no real shocks there 03 world cup - Kenya shocked Sri-Lanka, makes it to the next stage... Kenya again was.. Green 07 world cup - Ireland beat Pakistan... Ireland color ? Yes ... Green - Bangladesh beat India... and South Africa.... Bangladesh color? :) Guess? Green!
What color are you? :) Still blue ;)
Well.. lets hope we see something like this picture below soon enough
.. thats when the 3rd disc will be released. Oh sorry you are totally out of context. So, I am talking about Avatar : The Last Airbender. What do you mean you don't know it? Anyways, this wiki page should give you all the information. And heres the official page from Nickelodeon (thats the channel it is aired on) Yeah yeah its animated and meant for kids. But I like it. Why did I get so hooked up? Well, last year I accidentally watched one of its episodes while channel browsing after a futile attempt at my research project. That was an episode from Book 3 (season 3 in tv jargon) and I liked it so much that I decided to watch it all right from the beginning. It always was at the back of my mind, but for some reasons I would rather not elaborate on, I kept delaying the pleasure of watching it. Finally I had the time (and a Netflix account) from March 2007 and thats what I have been watching since then. But I was quite disappointed that the 3rd disc in a season is not yet released. Let this be a warning to all those tv-series producers etc. Release the WHOLE season at once. Do not - I repeat - DO NOT release individual discs in a season. So... thats why I am waiting for 22nd May when the disc will be realeased. Yes, I have it in my saved section in Netflix. If too many people have it too and if that makes me wait for more than 2 days, ..............I will be getting it from Blockbuster/Hollywood :D. Heres the official dvd site. And heres the episode guide link. I know you must be all hooked up too... so come and join the Avatar Spirit (fansite). I wish there was an official trailer I could embed here, but this stuff created by some fan is not bad at all.... Enjoy!
The war of the video-games is on Xbox360, PS3 and Wii are trying really hard to win the marketplace and seriously I don't care who wins among them. I know that I love to play all .. yeah ALL the games and think its completely unfair that I would not be able to play some game just because I don't have its corresponding hardware (which costs atleast 500$s) I have a regular Xbox (that my friends gifted me on my 2005 birthday) and keep playing Halo2 and other games that can be played on it. With Halo3 on the horizon, Xbox360 is going to be something to have. PS3 though boasts of a much superior hardware than the 360 (and a higher price). And then there is Wii with its awesome WiiMote. I think, that if I have to enjoy my games with my friends (who are not hardcore gamers) Wii is the best. I know that the self-reflection on the captain's helmet is great graphics programming and hardware capacity from the 360, and the 8 processor Cell is a great hardware that PS3 can boast about, but not all the people I play games with care about this stuff as long as they have fun. (We can have fun playing a simple game of cards too right? ) Ofcourse, we can all have our own opinions (and gaming consoles), but all I am saying is "IF I HAVE TO HAVE ONLY 1 FROM AMONGST THESE 3, I WOULD CHOOSE THE WII UNDER CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES"
I think this video here will prove my point -
By the way in the picture above the order is (L->R) Xbox360, PS3 and Wiiiiiiii!
