Dead or Alive ? Doesn?t matter!

with 6 comments

Haven?t seen a stupidly hilarious movie in a while? Well then Dead or Alive is the way to go!

[IMDb]

Cover:

DOA - Dead or Alive

Plot:

DOA ? Dead or Alive is based upon the game of the same name. A select group of fighters around the world are invited to DOA for winning cash prizes and becoming the best in the world. Only, in this movie?
A number of fighters are invited to DOA, an invitational martial arts contest. They travel to the tournament island by plane, until they have to jump out mid-flight with parachutes, and then have until sundown to reach the main island to be entered into the tournament. Fighters are then pooled against one another in a knock-out style tournament, with the loser of a battle sent home, and the winner progressing to the subsequent round. The plot revolves around four female fighters who begin as rivals, but subsequently find themselves teaming up against another force.

Review
:

Now, what should I say about a movie of 4 girls wearing underwear and fighting clear fake with ultra-modern stunts and the sorts? I know. I must say ?LOL!?
The movie has Holly Valance, Jamie Pressly, Sarah Carter and Devon Aoki. That?d be enough to stop with, 4 stupid actresses, except perhaps Sarah Carter. So the movie is total punch, kick, punch, kick. And there is this host who is like the boss monster of a game, and they have to defeat him and his world domination plan. It gets so stretchy in middle that it makes the entire movie look very very stupid.
A stupid story + excellent unbelievable stunts + stupid actors and actresses + a few wasted henchmen forms this movie. Its all ?Aah? ?Grr? ?Bash? ?Boom? and background electronic music.
Score ? 6/10 [Sarah Carter looks good, saved you]
Recommendation:

Find the DVD on the road? Let it be.

Anyone remember the grand daddy of all keyboards, The Optimus? The 113 keyed big beauty of keys and functions?

Well atleast I do, and its finally going public. They are accepting pre-orders from December 12. I know its gonna be pricey for all that jazzy screens it gives you for the fingers but there is no way my next upgrade is not going to include this one, or the modified/enhanced versions that come out after this.

They say its gonna cost below a good-cellphone price, let’s see the price, brr! am scared. I just cant wait to have this one, the one gadget I’ve been waiting for a year now. Hell! It appeared in my dreams too :?

So…

Am sitting here, wondering how many clicks my mouse has achieved since its date of manufacture.

Looking at the folders on my drives I have never been to.

Looking at the music player sing by with volume set to 0.

Watching the new Spider-Man trailer and wondering why don’t they show Venom.

Visiting Neowin, Techspot, back to Neowin, back to Techspot, Orkut, dA, back to Orkut. Closes Firefox.

Giving away Ubuntu CDs to worthwhile people, 2 more to go.

Watching Lost - Season 1 and making my eyes red 4815162342 times.

Adding stupid movie torrents just to keep the list up and download flowing.

Thinking about humanity, why we exist the way we are. *Takes a gun and points to the head and wonders why the gun looks the way it is*

Thinking of how will you feel reading this post.

Wondering how many people would be bored at the moment on Earth. And if allowed, the multiverses.

Damn the #1 Linux Distro On Earth - Ubuntu

with 12 comments

Why is Ubuntu so damn addictive, why?! I spent a few days downloading these ‘good’ Linux distributions like SUSE 10.1 and Fedora Core 6 and I just cant stand their stupidness in front of Ubuntu. By stupidness I mean lack of pre-configured stuff and need of the user to configure many things. Its not really a pain to do all the customizations required for a smooth Linux operation but since I have seen Ubuntu which comes pre-configured to be lovable by all, I just get frustrated to see a distribution like Fedora, which is on a DVD unlike Ubuntu’s CD act so dumb waiting for user to do everything. Really wastes time if you ask me.

So yesterday I hoped to shift to Fedora Core 6 which was like a 3.6 GB download, all hopes failed as great as it failed to give my Keyboard’s extra keys some recognition, and the package manager ‘yum‘ is so slow as hell, ‘YaST‘ of SUSE is another thing, it beats ‘yum‘ in being slow. The Ubuntu’s apt-get is ultra fast in executing and downloading applications and installing it is a breeze after that.

I just simply cant stand SUSE’s slowness, its not even like my hardware’s slow, the applications open quick but process very very slowly, like sipping boiling tea. I dont know what the hell the applications do while executing, but its all slow as watching the sun go up between 4-6 AM [ Was awake installing the distribution :P ].

And for guides, I didn’t find a decent guide to Fedora or SUSE as I did for Ubuntu here and here. These new distributions are just hopeless, but for Ubuntu. Its like they don’t need migrators.

Comparing neatness, SUSE must take the crown with its attractive desktops and Fedora’s simplicity, Ubuntu’s brown doesn’t go down well with all actually but it is customizable.

So go get Ubuntu as a distribution provided your hardware’s like, popular in stores. Hardware issues with a Linux distribution sucks, really really bad. Thank my old hardware I got no issues, yet. :P

[Oh my god, They killed Kenny!]

And I’ve just started watching Lost, going good. :P
