| New Wii Zelda Playable at E3 |
| 2010-02-05 00:14:42 |
Even though the Nintendo Wii is probably the most popular current gen video game console on the market most hardcore gamers have had a hard time picking up their Wii-motes.

| Lee Byung Hun To Receive A Bigger Role In G.I. Joe Sequel |
| 2010-02-03 22:44:49 |
At least Paramount knows how to capitalize on what was actually good in last year’s G.I. JOE: RISE OF COBRA. It wasn’t the “acting” of Channing Tatum or the misplaced “comedic” flirtations between Marlon Wayan’s “Ripchord” and Rachel Nichols’ “Scarlett” (Scarlett is Snake Eye’s woman!!!).
What made the live action G.I. JOE film even half way [...]...

| ‘Bad Apple’ Stop-Motion Animation |
| 2010-02-02 22:37:00 |
Mind blowing stop motion animation involving a web cam and 6,566 still photos of printed bitmaps.
Most people will probably think that some form of photo-editing post production was involved in the making of the animation. Instead, the animation is very lo-fi in it’s production. The creator of the piece simply changed camera positions and adjusted [...]...

| Jeremy Lin – Harvard Hoops Star With Pro Potential |
| 2010-01-30 00:11:11 |
Jeremy Lin is a possible player of the year candidate and is one of the main reasons for Harvard’s new found college hoops success. He’s also considered a prime NBA prospect.
He’s also Asian-American.
Of course I’m extremely proud of Jeremy’s accomplishments so far, but the fact that his skin color almost always overshadows his accomplishments in [...]...

| Koreans Rule The World of Texting |
| 2010-01-28 23:14:18 |
I suck at texting. I can barely type more than 5 words per minute with a number pad. So it always amazes me when I see these young kids type out full sentences in a matter of seconds.
But in the world of texting the Koreans reign supreme. The first ever Mobile World Cup was held [...]...

| BAY RONG/CLASH official trailer |
| 2010-01-25 22:58:59 |
The Vietnamese martial arts period film THE REBEL was, to me at least, the break out film for the Vietnamese film industry back in 2007. Who would’ve thought that a film starring a Vietnamese-American stuntman (Johnny Tri Nguyen) and a Vietnamese model/pop star (Veronica Ngo) would be so dramatically good. Or that it would prove [...]...
