Angry Video Game Nerd – The Movie
Announcement
On September 23, 2010. James Rolfe announced that AVGN The Movie is comming.
Announcement was made on his YouTube channel.(JamesNintendoNerd)
(See more on “Angry Video Game Nerd” down below.)
About AVGN
- The Angry Video Game Nerd (abbreviated as AVGN, occasionally shortened to The Nerd) is the main character and title of a series of farcical retrogaming video reviews by James Rolfe.
Starring James Rolfe, the show generally revolves around retro game reviews that involve bitter rants against games he deems to be of particularly low-quality or poor design. Such games are often associated with movie tie-ins. The series began as a feature on YouTube, and later joined ScrewAttack Entertainment, which would later have three of its features, including the AVGN, transferred to GameTrailers exclusively. The show, formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd, was renamed because the show started reviewing games on other consoles, and also to prevent any trademark issues with Nintendo. - The Nerd character is a short-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic.
He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and the consumption of beer, particularly Rolling Rock, and on a few occasions Yuengling. A particular characteristic, which has become something of a trademark of his character, is for him to describe, in great detail, extremely repulsive and painful, usually firmly scatological acts, and to claim that he would rather endure them than to play the game that he is reviewing. Varying amounts of physical comedy are mixed into the verbal abuses. - The Angry Video Game Nerd (abbreviated as AVGN, occasionally shortened to The Nerd) is the main character and title of a series of farcical retrogaming video reviews by James Rolfe.

Some AVGN episode
This game is Seriously amazing!
Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter – trailer
- For all of you who didn’t know, Serious Sam is the best FPS ever made! Ever? Ever!
- I’m writing this because I found this hilariously funny trailer that I had to share with everyone.
(More on Serious Sam franchise is down below.)
Serious Sam
- Serious Sam is the title of a series of first-person shooters created by the Croatian development team CroTeam. Originally released for the PC market only, Serious Sam’s rising popularity resulted in the porting of the series to a number of different platforms, including the Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2 and Xbox Live Arcade among others.
- The series follows the adventures of hero Sam “Serious” Stone and his fight against the forces of the notorious extraterrestrial overlord Mental who seeks to destroy humanity.
Gameplay
- The series’ gameplay could be seen as a throwback to earlier first-person shooters. Released during a time where shooters were becoming increasingly realistic and more concerned with “authenticity”, Serious Sam offered up traditional, Quake-style shooting. However, the more modern technology of the time allowed for a new take on that classic formula.
- Closed-in corridors are mostly replaced with wide-open environments, small groups of enemies are replaced by dozens attacking at any given time, and there are many hidden areas and treasures to find, often in obscure and counter-intuitive locations.
- Ammunition and weapons are plentiful, and guns, for the most part, do not need to be reloaded.
- Enemy designs are whimsical and often take inspiration from mythology and fantasy, and include anything from flying harpies, to giant bipedal cybernetic monsters, to headless suicide-bombers.
- Serious Sam features cooperative gameplay, something not commonly seen in modern PC first-person shooters.
Serious Engine ( I,II and III)
- CroTeam created their own engine for use in both The First Encounter and The Second Encounter. Named the “Serious Engine”, it is designed to cope with extremely large view distances and massive numbers of models, unlike most FPS engines which are developed for a limited draw distance and only a few animating models on screen at a time: it is very efficient, capable of maintaining dozens of moving enemies even on a modest system challenging the well known id Tech, Unreal or Source engines. The “Serious Engine” can render through both Direct3D or OpenGL and, while it does not support pixel or vertex shaders, it is optimised for Direct3D 7′s hardware transformation, clipping and lighting. The “Serious Engine” is available for licensing from CroTeam.
- A more powerful iteration of the “Serious Engine” was developed for use in Serious Sam II and is known as “Serious Engine II”. It supports for many features of modern GPUs such as pixel and vertex shaders, HDR, bloom and parallax mapping.
- Serious Engine 3 was used in Serious Sam HD: The First and Second Encounter, and is to be used in Serious Sam 3 as well. It includes detailed shading, and enemy textures are completely remodeled to look more realistic. This engine is also being developed to harness the full capacity of HDR and High Definition mapping.

Final Fantasy XIV
Amazing trailer
This looks amazing! 
Info on Final Fantasy XIV is down below.
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy is a media franchise created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, and is developed and owned by Square Enix (formerly Square). The franchise centers on a series of fantasy and science-fantasy console role-playing games (RPGs), but includes motion pictures, anime, printed media, and other merchandise. The series began in 1987 as an eponymous video game developed to save Square from bankruptcy; the game was a success and spawned sequels. The video game series has since branched into other genres such as tactical role-playing, action role-playing, massively multiplayer online role-playing, and racing.
Although most Final Fantasy installments are supposedly independent stories with various different settings and main characters, they feature identical elements that define the game that’s been remade over and over again. Recurring elements include plot themes, character names, and game mechanics. Plots center on a group of heroes battling a great evil while exploring the characters’ internal struggles and relationships. Character names are often derived from the history, languages, and mythologies of cultures worldwide.
Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV (Online) is the fourteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series, due for release on September 30, 2010 for Microsoft Windows and March 2011 for PlayStation 3. The game is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game and is developed and published by Square Enix. The game takes place in a land called Hydaelyn, mainly in a region named Eorzea, which will have a contemporaneously aesthetic blend of science fiction and classic fantasy elements.
The game will be released in Japanese, English, French, and German.
Internet Explorer 9 – Beta
Internet Explorer 9 is fast, crazy fast, at least when the real-time rendering is in question.
Speed on ordinary websites it is similar to Google Chrome, which is a great improvement over the IE8.
The overall design of the browser has drastically changed, it looks as if someone took Chrome and slightly changed the layout of things. Why do I constantly mention Google Chrome?
Because the whole experience feels like Chrome, IE9 team chose the right role model 
Now let’s see how IE9 renders my website:
Click on the image for the full size
If you didn’t noticed, there are no shadow, and it really disappointed me. 
(Ignore the header because it is a PNG, shadows aren’t generated by the browser)
I expect two things from the browser, those are speed and correct page rendering.
In this moment I’m not fully satisfied, I’ll wait for the official version before I say anything else…
