‘Ready Player One’ Review By Ernest Cline – The Novel For MMO Fans

James Halliday is dead. The Willy Wonka-esque creator of the world’s most popular Massively Multiplayer Online game, OASIS, which serves as an escape for many of the Earth’s citizens after the collapse of civilization, has sent out a riddle regarding three keys. The one who can collect these three items will receive the reclusive Halliday’s massive $250 billion fortune and full access to the virtual kingdom he created. The first key is found by Wade, a kid connecting to OASIS out of a dreadful trailer park in Oklahoma. Little does he realize how much is life is going to change.

Ghost Rider Review: Roadkill Warmed Over

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is mostly an unholy mess of a movie that just narrowly misses falling into so-bad-it’s-good territory. Nic Cage returns as the demonic anti-hero and Johnny Whitworth plays Kurt Russell in the Neveldine/Taylor duo’s attempt to grittily reboot the Ghost Rider franchise.

Microsoft Unveils New Windows 8 Logo. It’s Awful.

Microsoft Unveils New Windows 8 Logo. It’s Awful.

Microsoft’s fallen into an odd position. From its re-introduction of Windows Phone while trying to recover Windows sales (after Vista failed to ignite like XP did) to the creeping threat that their dominance of the desktop isn’t going to matter too much going forward, Microsoft has had a lot on its plate. As part of their Windows 8 reinvention, the company unveiled a new logo that fits their new post-PC strategy with the OS.

I hate it.

Microsoft Updating Bing Vision with Newspaper Match this March

Microsoft Updating Bing Vision with Newspaper Match this March

While Microsoft continues enhancing and pushing Windows Phone 7, one feature that has been in my opinion, one of Windows Phone’s top features is their Bing Vision search. Now, Google Goggles provides a similar experience, essentially an app that allows you to scan QR codes, bar codes, or an image/landmark to search instances of the object on the web, however Bing Vision works more dynamically and in my testings provides more useful results. One such example is if I open Bing Vision over the front of a Book, the app will immediately pull up a link for the book in Amazon where I can go and purchase the book. This kind of search provides a quick and simple way to comparison shop or easily purchase a product.

Take Shelter Review: “Is Anyone Seeing This?”

Take Shelter Review:  “Is Anyone Seeing This?”

Michael Shannon plays a family man plagued by apocalyptic visions in director Jeff Nichols’ latest drama. Jeff Nichols made his debut as a director with the terrific Shotgun Stories back in 2007. That film accomplished a lot with very little, providing a combination of elegant filmmaking and raw emotion that would please Kurosawa. Here, he again tackles the subject of family tragedy in Middle America and achieves results that are just as impressive.
