Star wars
We've watched episodes 1 and 2 to refresh our memory on the plot and characters before we'd go and see the new and probably most wanted part. I read that it has broken the all-time record with 55 megabucks in the first three days. Also I found out that wikipedia has nice and nearly complete description of "Star Wars" universe. Actors, terms, places, events..., a mix of real and fictional in form of an encyclopedia. You wanna know what "bantha" is and how do they look like? Go there and see.Probably one of the most puzzling things that troubles me for a long time is how to make a lightsaber. I know it's just a movie but still... We came to a conclusion that it must be "plasma" saber rather then light. See, modern techniques could allow to recreate something that looks and feels like a lightsaber using electormagnetic field and a plasma generator. There are cost-perfomance issues as well as technical problems making it impossible to build in practice but at least in theory we are capable of such projects. Okey, modern science-technology level doesn't have a suitable energy source and that's the biggest problem. Carry on folks, let's wait another 10-20 years.
Quake4 is out and looks like Doom3, which is fair since Quake uses Doom's engine. The recommended computer configuration sounds crazy to me because I can't upgrade my laptop to 512 MB memory for like a year. Need more money! Yeah, getting a job would do too.
Weekend is almost over and we forgot about the Battlegorunds game. Last time me and my ally have won the game quite easily because I grew quite fast and I took advantage of it pretty well. A few minutes ahead of others moved to the level three and after that organized a brute force attack on a nearest foe. A few pamels later I had an extra holocron and all bounties of half of the map. Did you know that isles are short of carbon? Luckely this fact was on my side.
