VideoGame inspirational Posters
Posted on October 17, 2006, by admin, under Blog, Games.
When I was a kid I loved to fill my room with posters, I guess most kids liked too, of course there came a time when I was “invited” by my parents to get rid of all that paper hanging in the walls (some in a very bad state) but If now I could have space to put posters I would surely like to include the following ones.
It seems that RetroBlast held a contest to create inspirational posters based on videogames, Pinball and Arcade machines. Some entries are very good, I particulary like the Adversity poster based on gauntlet , Chalenge is also very nice, as well as Good Will.
Anyway, see the complete gallery at RetroBlast.

Divx for Xbox 360
Posted on October 13, 2006, by admin, under Blog, Games.
Rumour has been flying around that Microsoft will add support for Divx and Xvid video playback on the Xbox 360.
Right now, if you want to play any videos in divx you either convert them to wmv format (yuck) or use another tool like Transode360 or vlc360 to convert on the fly and stream the videos to your xbox, of course you’ll need to have another computer online and using Windows Media Center. There’s also a commercial alternative for Apple computers but I don’t recall the name.
The rumour states the update will come in the form of a patch in 2 months time. Let’s hope this is true, I always thought it was stupid having a Xbox that works as a “media center” without support for common video formats like divx.
You can find the rumor at Xlife.nl.

Comic books in your DS
Posted on October 12, 2006, by admin, under Blog, Games.
4ColorRebellion as posted a review of Comic Book Ds, a homebrew application for the Nintendo DS that enables you to view digital comic books in a neat way.
I haven’t tried CBds yet but I’m willing to get some legal comics from Homebrew Cast and give it a go since I take my DS everywhere (yeah, it’s part of my lifestyle now) and I spend nearly 2 hours of daily commuting between my home and work.
Yeah, portuguese public transportation are clearly not the fastest of the world.
The application seems to have a dynamic menu system that permits the user to jump from page to page with ease, you can also zoom in a particular panel. There’s some limitations derived to the size of the images but those will be fixed later.
Anyway, you can catch the whole review of Comic Book DS (including screens) at 4ColorRebellion.
