Pocket Legends – amazing 3D massively multiplayer game

skykid — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 01:16:54 +0000

Few days ago I complained that I was not able to find a single game on iOS with a decent multiplier mode build in. I almost gave up looking – but hey I found one – and what a game it is. The title is Pocket Legends – and is fantasy themed game. One can play it on iOS, Android and even as an app on Google Chrome . I spent the last 6 hours playing ( I know – too much time on my hands ) . I have played it both on my computer and on my Ipod and when you switch the platform the experience is totally different. Playing it on an iPad must be a blast. Oh and did I mention – it free !

Video recording on Skype

skykid — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:57:14 +0000

Skype video chats are fun – and if the quality is decent enough Skype is perfectly suited for conducting video interviews . For that one would need to use a software. Yesterday a friend of mine asked me to recommend him a free program simple enough to be used by everyone. We checked some options – including the trial versions of some paid programs ( VodBurner and Evaer ) – but none worked flawlessly . Yet we got lucky when I stumbled on Supertintin – while the free version of this software is limited to 5 minutes , it worked great just ” out of the box ” .

You can download the software at http://www.supertintin.com/

Do you know any other free Skype video recorder ? Let me know !

Skaterz : The Twins

skykid — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 01:40:52 +0000

Stumbled upon this amazing clip on Vimeo. Not only the kids rock those skates , but the camerawork is cool too – love the situate scenes at the begging. I have never learned to Skate – had a Skate one and tried inspired by movies and clips just like this one – but what seemed easy on films was not as easy in practice. So I learned some trick with the bike insted ( :

Solomon’s Keep

skykid — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 00:38:35 +0000

Just stumbled upon a great game for my iPod -Solomon’s Keep . It remind me a bit of Diablo and its a cool to play. ( and free for the Christmas ) Sadly no multiplayer mode is available – that`s what is lacking in most app games – a real multiplayer. Now I am looking for a similar game for the computer which can be played over Internet.

Action movies

skykid — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:53:40 +0000

Few days ago I met a new friend. He is quite cool – and is quite smart as well ( knows about programming and all that ). So we were talking and he asked me to recommend a film – preferably action and I could not come up with a single title. The only action movies that come to my mind are those I watched when I was his age ” Terminator ” , ” Rambo ” …etc. I enjoyed those – yet the action genre never got much of my attention. Nowadays I watch a lot of movies – a great deal of them – coming of age ones as it can be easily seen from the reviews I wrote for TheSkyKid.com . One thing is for sure – I would much prefer to see ” Son of Rambow ” than Rambo ( :

That is actually an amazing movie . And it is just that – a real action with a young actor in it…and its the amazing Brad Renfro.

@SkyKid The Mist, Poseidon, Jurassic Park, Julia… What I can think of for now

Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)

skykid — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 00:57:40 +0000

Do you believe in true love; in having a soul mate – a person that completes you? Before you start wondering what sort of weird movie review is this going to be, I will explain myself by saying that you are likely to ask yourself that kind of question, both while you watch and after you’ve seen the 2011 romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Yes, it’s a comedy. Yet, it is also a Coming-of-Age film, even if those who come of age belong to two different generations – a father (Steve Carell ) and son (Jonah Bobo). They and others in the film each “come of age ” in their own way as the story unfolds.

Everything starts with a divorce. A man tries to reinvent himself. A women attempts to justify her decision to herself and a son who is madly in love. He is only thirteen and people at that age who talk about being in love usually hear the “You have no idea what are you talking about” phrase. But, if people who would say that watch Crazy, Stupid, Love, they are quite likely to change their perception.

The story lines combined different subplots whose twists and turns ensure that you will enjoy the entire two hours of cinematic entertainment that directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa have prepared.

Lo 27

skykid — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 12:54:42 +0000

An amazing love ballad from the Polish group L.O.27 – Kiedy chcesz ( When you want ). According to Wikipedia L.O.27 was the Polish, “response” to the successful American band Hanson. LO27 début album sold about 70 thousand copies). I only wish I knew of the band earlier …but back in 1997 – there was no YouTube and even trough the Polish band was quite popular in its own country not too many people outside it have heard of them . The band doesn’t exist anymore ( unlike Hanson ) – yet its great that they have left us some amazing vibes.
