Heello

So, the guys who created TwitPic made this new website called Heello, a twitter copy, which is more about chatting than following updates.. Instead of following people you are listening to them, instead of tweeting you ping, and instead of Re-tweeting you echo a persons Ping...

I like it a lot, since you get to connect with people you don't know, and otherwise wouldn't have met...

Gaming and Summer Vacation

This one will be a little update on what I've been up to lately... (Couldn't find anything to complain about lol)

Back in August, on my 18th birthday, I got myself a PS3... Been playing by myself on it a lot until April, where I got into a clan called VoX (Very old 'Xperts) where we've been organizing a lot of matches.. this is totally different from playing by yourself.. It's always better to play with friends or people you know in general.. And in the clan we're all friends and we have so much fun when we play games together... Socom 4 was a game very anticipated in the clan so I got it... And I must say it was disappointing.. I mean, it was fun at first but after a while it is quite boring.... But the game has a co-op part in which we have had hours of fun. Mainly because everybody dies and yells for people to revive them :D

On the clan forum I have been getting on image editing again... Fittingly me joining the clan, and getting into making signatures, fell into the same period where we were learning about using PhotoShop at school... Or.. the others did. I kinda knew it all before.. :D

The clan was formed back in the middle of March and have now grown to have about 100 members, which is amazing! Other clans have been around longer and some even have less members others have around the same amount... :D We have great alliances with other clans like TNW, PGO and DADs Army.. In cooperation with them all we have been working on a new system for clans all over.... To set up a site with members' games lists and clan events where the other clans can go to find information about other members and clans... THis will be great and will mean full games with people you know. :D

And now that I'm done with school on this side of summer and still unemployed I will have a lot of time to play games and do images in photoshop.

Btw. my PSN id is GunNut92 if anyone is interested... :D

Future weapons and warfare

Today America has satellites which can track and eliminate enemy missiles. With lasers! Yet, America and the UN spend millions of dollars on military resources like soldiers, weapons and tanks.

Why do they not simply turn the lasers downward and eliminate the enemy bases or enemy troops. They could also just send up some new satellites with small missiles or machine guns to eliminate the enemy. Then soldier could tag the enemy with laser markers and then signal the satellites to attack.

This would make future wars and battles go over quickly and safely (for the "good guys"). The enemy would attack but destroyed before they could make any real damage.

If they put a lot of resources into researching these types of satellites and weapons they would probably save a lot of money in the long run. It would also be a way to scare people who want to attack USA and her allies. In the future there would not be as many wars because people would not dare to go to war with America & Co.

The Shining: Review

Okay, so I have just watched The Shining. It has taken me some time to get around to do this but now I did.
The plot of the movie is basically:

A man, Jack, takes a job as the caretaker of a hotel in the mountain over the winter. He, his wife and their son moves in at the hotel. The boy can, for some reason, communicate telekinetically with other people who have the gift (the shining).
After a month's time Jack starts to get a bit crazy. He is trying to write a book and his annoying wife keeps interrupting him. When Jack makes his way to the bar and receives a drink, which is all in his head btw. When he later returns to the bar he meets a previous caretaker, who went crazy and chopped his family into little pieces with an axe. He tells Jack to "correct"(kill) his family. Then Jack hunts his kid with an axe into the giant labyrinth in the yard. The boy out smarts Jack and escapes the labyrinth and leaves with his mother in a snow cat. Jack gets lost in the labyrinth and freezes to death.

Notably bad things:

1. The wife.
   They have casted an extremely ugly (read: gross) woman to play the wife. She ruins the experience of what could have been a great movie and almost turns it into garbage
   
2. Tony
   The boy have an imaginary friend called Tony who lives in his mouth. WTF? When this friend talks the boy looks at his finger which Tony apparently talks through. FAIL. It looks stupid.
   
3. The ending
   In the end we see a photograph of a ball in 1921 where Jack is in the front of the picture.
   
   Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't get it. Is it supposed to show that Jack is in fact a ghost from '21 or is it a magic picture of all the caretakers, who have gone mad after 1921? I don't know.
   

Notably good things:

1. Jack Nicholson
   He is awesome in this movie. He has that evil/creepy look that the character needs to make his point.
   
2. Jack's reaction to the boy's bruised neck
   When his wife finds the boy with a bruised neck she accuses Jack of having done it.
   Jack just looks at her like he doesn't understand and just doesn't give a tine rat's ass.
   
3. The first bar scene
   His wife tells Jack about a crazy woman the boy had seen and Jack has the greatest response ever: "Are you out of your fucking mind?"
4. The blood
   The boy keeps seeing visions of blood coming around a corner and down a hallway. It looks great and I love it.
   

I wish someone would make a spoof of this movie where, when the boy sees the two girls he would just run them over on his tricycle an yell: "Get out of the way bitches!" or something like that. I would watch that movie!

If I had made the movie I would only change like one thing: The actress playing the wife; she is ugly and she can't act and it is because of her people say you shouldn't run with a knife in your hand.
When she runs her arms are swinging a lot and she should have stabbed herself with that knife many times.
 
The Simpsons have made a great parody of the movie, where they have included all the important things:

Danish Radio Stations SUCK

Here in Denmark there are no good radio stations for people who, like me, want to listen to rock. All the stations play pop or techno! This means that you have to either turn to your own music or search the web for stations from other countries.

After many years of just listening to my own music I bought a great little box called a ROKU SoundBridge which you can use to play music from your PC’s music library wirelessly. Now, this box had a function which would allow it to receive internet radio stations. I searched the Roku Radio website for good rock/metal stations and found an American radio station from Seattle called KISW, which had an online player.

This station has really impressed me. I thought it was just going to be another bad radio station which would play some soft rock songs like the standard Danish radio station but it turned out to play great music. It plays everything from old school rock to rock songs by new artists. And this is just the music I like; it’s Metallica, Alice in Chains, Disturbed and all that kind of music. They also have some great programs like The Mensroom, where four guys talk about the news and what they think about it (funny as hell) and the Hookup, where you call in and request a song which start with the letter that the last song played ended with. This is a great way to incorporate the listeners and the Danish radio stations could learn something here!

Whenever I have friends over and we play Playstation 3 I put on the radio station in the background and they all think it is a great station!

It can definitely be recommended for people who like rock which is harder and heavier than the kind they play on the pop rock radio stations in Denmark!

Metal Horns

I hate people who does not listen to metal or any other kind of rock and run around flashing the metal horns (<-- picture)!


The metal horns represent everything metal. It was originally a way to shield against people giving you the mean eye. Ronnie James Dio grew up watching his mom do this on the street when someone looked badly at her. Dio brought the gesture to the world of metal.

The metal horn gesture has always been a way for metal listeners to express themselves about something cool and awesome. The horns represent everything about metal, but when other people use the gesture it becomes "pop-ish", which is very bad!

The gesture is thrown around these days, when people don’t know what to do on photos and stuff. It’s like what happened to the peace sign(picture -->). It became popular to use the hand gesture when someone took your picture or filmed you. That is how it is today with the metal horns. People have made it popular. It was, in my opinion, supposed to be something the metal lover society had for ourselves. It would be our signature. How we would know each other.

I saw a behind the scenes of a commercial shoot, where five model sat on a bench, having a break, and when the camera came they all startet throwing horns. Now, unless those model listen to metal, which I doubt, they have not earned the privilege of throwing horns. It would be like if a person saw the Swastica (the Nazi symbol) and thought it was cool. This person the had the symbol tattooed onto his/her body. When this person some day runs into a Nazi, how do you think the Nazi will react? I think he/she will be f-ing pissed. He would probably beat up or maybe even kill the person.

So: Don't use gestures/symbols you have not earned the right to use!!!

Sencerely

The Metalhead of Denmark!
