Monster Quick Sketch
Just a quick sketch with an awesome app on the G1 called Doodledriod. I love the transparency feature and the reasonable amount of brushes. The color editor is really sweet because it allows you to create colors or use a color picker that will let you grab a color from your image. I find myself doodling anything and everything.

Android’s G1 SNESoid: It’s All About Retro Gaming

I got Yongzh’s latest emulator and it is such a joy to play these old SNES games again. Since it’s an early build, there are some quirks such as off synced sound and a handful of games that don’t work. Like always, he’s going to update his masterpiece and I’m sure the next update will fix these minor issues. When you save a state and then go back to play the game, try to restart it before you load your save because I find that restarting first will get it going properly.
If you’re a gamer on a budget like me, just do a search for SNESoid on the Market and you’ll find it.

Top 10 Really, Really Bad Sci-Fi Films
I love Sci-Fi movies like anybody. To be quite honest, I think most of them are really awful. I know there are terrible ones like Battlefield Earth but I didn’t watch it because it’s pretty obvious that it’s mediocore. A good Sci-Fi flick should not confuse me with techno jibber jabber or a convoluted story. A thoughtful Sci-Fi will usually ride you like a reverse cowgirl. The new Star Trek movie does just that.
10. Blade Runner
Yea, I know this is such a cult classic but it’s a bit on the boring side. Granted the visuals are spectacular, the story was a thinking man’s movie. I just didn’t get it.
9. Tron
A dude gets pulled into a video game world. You can check something like that out at game cafe. Once again, the visuals outshine with a crippled storyline. It is the 80s afterall.
8. Ghost in the Shell
Once again, visuals are breath taking but the story just didn’t drive it. Anime tends to suffer in the cohesive storyline department.
7. Terminator 3
Arnold came out of retirement and got roided up to make this masterpiece. Please stop.
6. The Fifth Element
This movie was terrible on so many levels. I wanted to like it but I can’t seem to erase Chris Tucker in a dress out of my mind.
5. Signs
Now this is the thinking man’s movie. We’re invaded by Aliens and apparantly water was there weakness. Swing away George, Swing away.
4. Aliens 3
The first and second one were considered Sci-fi classics. The 3rd one was just plain awful. It was suppose to be a mashup of the action scenes from the first and the tones from the second. Hopefully, they don’t try to introduce Predators into the storyline.
3. Resident Evil
Translating to movie form shouldn’t be that hard because everything’s done for you. Just don’t screw up the character and story development.
2. AI
The visuals were grand and that’s it. The story is as interesting as watching paint dry.
1. THX 1138
Don’t ask me why would anyone watch student work. I remember watching this movie years before the DVD release and I was underwelmed by it. People next to me were so engaged but I just couldn’t find myself liking any aspect of it. It felt so pretentious. Come on, it didn’t go anywhere and make any sense whatsoever. Boorrringggggg.

The Top 10 Worst CG in Movies Ever
These are the top 10 awesomely bad CG found in movies that I’ve seen. I can’t believe with their overbloated budget, they couldn’t pull it off. Often times flicks don’t even need CG but they insist on using it.
10. Star Wars- Yoda
Seriously, we were better off with a puppet and a guy’s hand up his ass.
9. Daredevil- Daredevil Leaping Around on Top of buildings
Remember him running around and leaping from building to building? I wish I’d forgotten.
8. Indiana Jones 4- The Jungle Scene
If you ask me, the before picture at the bottom is way better than the top. The overuse of soft glow was a big ass turn-off and it looked like a blue screen disaster. Gross.
7. Spiderman – Spiderman
I think they used Daredevil’s model and mapped Spiderman instead.
6. Hulk- Hulk
Come on. What’s up with the purple pants? All they had to do was hire a buff guy and have him hold tiny props of everything.
5. Matrix 2- Crapload of Neos on Screen
Part one was pretty good. Are you sure this isn’t Multiplicity 2?
4. Beowulf- Horses
I thought the movie was incredible until I saw the way the horses ran. It looked like they weren’t moving their joints.
3. I Am Legend – Zombies
The zombies straight up look like something from Duke Nukem. Resident Evil 4’s zombies look more convincing.
2. Spawn- Violaters at the End of the Movie
This scene destoryed what is a kick ass character in a beautifully crafted comic book. I still have issue 8 where on the cover Spawn’s posing like the Spiderman. Never watch this scene drunk!
1. The Mummy Returns- The Scorpion King
I remember watching this in the theaters and out of nowhere, a scorpion with Rock’s face on it appeared. I almost fell off my seat laughing.
Street Fighter 4: House of Shoto
As far as I can remember, Street Fighter has been an obsession that I hold dear to my heart. And when I found out that 4 was coming out, I was beyond excited. The game is finally out and what do I have to say about? I got the Xbox version and so the SF controller is no where to be found. I’ve been going to almost every store to get one of these things and I get the same response, ” Sorry we’re out.” So I’ve been playing the game with the Xbox controller and kicking a bunch of ass still. The controller sucks anyway. It was poorly put together caused the diagonal pads are just plain crap. Every time I try to go diagonally left, I just won’t register. My friend returned his directly to Mad Katz and he got the Playstation Akuma fighting pad. Guess what? The adapter kept on bugging out!

RepliGo PDF Reader: Is That a Book in Your Pocket?
I’m a big reader and if I could, I’d take all of my books with me where ever I go. I love to read on the John. I love to read while waiting in line. Well, you get my point. The latest update to an already decent PDF reader for the G1 is pretty good. The last update allows you to search, restores page where you left off and thumb through the bookmarks. He’s added hyperlinks and will open up the browser when you click on one. The only thing left for him to cover is converting big ass PDFs on your desktop and loading into the SD card.
