Transformers Prime – Beast Hunters – Predacons Rising
Chronicles the epic battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots in their mission to defend Earth and one day restore their home planet of Cybertron.
This is a sweet ending to the Transformers Prime series, it has been an amazing series with a fantastic storyline development with this 60 minute movie being the perfect final twist. With the end of the series I wasn’t satisfied but with this I was, but I can’t get enough of Peter Cullen, his voice will forever be the guiding voice of Optimus Prime. I couldn’t believe the ending, but I won’t ruin it for anyone but it was a hell of a final battle. I hope that Transformers continue on its success with the new movie and then another animation comes out, since this new one has a lot based on the next stage of the Transformers. If you enjoyed the series you will love this short movie.

Bayan Winter Blast 2014

When you have a chance visit the Bayan Winter Blast this coming Saturday!
Robcop 2014
In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy – a loving husband, father and good cop – is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
I have been waiting for a while for this movie, and it was worth the wait, it brought back good memories and they did Robocop justice. I wanted more robot action but I loved the plot of the movie and how it developed and bringing in Michael Keaton as the head of OCP was genius. I even loved the role played by Samuel L Jackson, it was like watching an angry News Commentator going at politicans in the middle of the movie. Joel Kinnaman was the perfect guy to play Alex Murphy, he had the same feel that the original guy did and he played it perfectly. I can’t wait to see the next Robocop after this one, it was just this good, and hoepfully next time around it’s against an army of robots. If you loved the old one then you will love this one.

Wahlburgers
The combination of this reality tv show couldn’t be any better, it’s very rare that I like a reality tv show, most of them really annoy me. But this one is different, this one has food specifically burgers, which I love, and it has the Wahlburgs, the family of actors that I adore. Mark Walhburg, Donnie Wahlburg, and Paul Wahlburg with their mom have this restaurant and a burger franchise that they want to take across the world or to start off with Boston then everywhere else. Everyone knows Mark Wahlburg from every movie and this New Kids in The Block Days, then there is Donnie Wahlburg who is known to be the bad ass brother in Blue Bloods, always kicking ass and taking names. And then there is Paul the heart of the restaurant and working with their mom, and he is always in the Kitchen and the food just looks so damn good. Seriously I’m thinking that I will be driving there the next time I will be in New York, the food seriously looks amazing, the burgers look so juicy I’m hungry just thinking about it right now. If there is a reality show to watch then this is it.

DDoS Attacks On Torrent Sites
I kept wondering why the hell my torrent sites kept going down, and a few were down for a few days, at first I thought it was simple server issue, but when it happened to a few of them for more then a few days, I knew something else was going on, and in this case a DDoS attack seemed to be the most likely perpetrator.
The MPAA has been known to hire outside companies to perform DDoS attacks on torrent sites over the past few years and some of it has been successful. But this time around it seems to be a whole other type of DDoS attack, based on an NTP protocol which can be explained much better and more info can be found at Reddit as to what exactly is going on.

Hopefully site admins can figure out how to best handle this so our favorite sites don’t go down so easily or for such a lengthy amount of time, and in my case I need to watch my shows.
Epic Water Battle In Aruba
Posted in Watersport on 08 Mar 2014 at 10:14 amWatching this video makes me want to go wakeboarding, I can’t wait for the summer to enjoy the water, but it’s getting too hot in Kuwait. We still haven’t enjoyed the winter to its fullest, I still want the chilly weather.
Now ski diving over the water seems like a very fun proposition.
Gazer Automated Stabilizer
The one thing about taking shots on the move is that the shots usually come out very shaky, and getting to be smooth is a difficult task. There are lots of great kits out there in the market but they all take practice and skill to get the right weights perfectly to shoot with these stabilizers, I always wondered if there was an automated stabilizer and thankfully someone else was thinking the same idea and brought it to Kickstarter.
There are different models for different uses, for those who want to shoot with a GoPro or Camera phone there is one, and those who want to use a point and shoot there is a different model and there is one for a DSLR and they look very simple to use. I already made a pledge for the SP1 & MD1 for my usual use as thats what I shoot with mostly. Check it out if this interests you as there are is only a few days left to back this project.

The Prancing Horse – Ferrari California T
Posted in Car on 05 Mar 2014 at 7:51 amThe new California T from Ferrari, with the upgraded look and very much upgraded engine. This is the introductory machine from the Ferrari family but it is one hell of a machine to drive. Packing a much improved 3.9-liter, turbocharged V8 with 560 horsepower and 557 pound-feet of torque it is one very exciting machine, which equates to an extra 70 hp and a 49 percent increase in torque over the previous engine. The on thing I heard lots of complaints about was the convertible top and it seems they heard it loud and clear with a 14 second close time as well as a few other upgrades such as new steering box, improved magnetic dampers and an upgraded traction control system. And I really like the front look of this car, I drove the previous California and it is a fun machine to drive so with all that’s packed in this new machine I’m assuming it’s that much better.
GulfRun 9 – Around the Corner
This is one of the very exciting times for me of the year, I love going to GulfRun, getting all the cars ready and just talking shop with so many people is always crazy. Now the count down is here and we are at the final stages before heading to Bahrain.
The Car Show is on the 10th & 11th of January @ 360 Mall with a lot of amazing machines to see. Can’t wait to get to the track, seriously excited about it.
LG G Flex
A ridiculously large phone that bends, I’m honestly impressed with the specifications of the phone. The other large phones out there are the HTC One XL & Samsung Note 3 with the Note 3 being much more successful then the One XL. The LG G Flex is the best specced flexible curved phone out in the market at this point with a lot of interesting features.
Specifications
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU
- 2GB RAM
- 6-inch flexible OLED screen at 720 x 1280
- Rear mounted power and volume controls
- Android 4.2.2
- 32GB internal storage
- Bluetooth 4.0
- 802.11 b/g/n/ac dual-band Wifi
- A-GPS and GLONASS support
- 13MP rear camera, 2.1MP front-facing camera
- 3500mAh battery
- 160.5 x 81.6 x 8.7 mm; 177g
I like that it has very good hardware specifications for a phone this size, and I like that its flexible. The only thing that is annoying about this phone is that it is Android 4.2.2 and not 4.4.1 which would be much better. LG has been very successful with the LG 2 and lots of great opinions about the phone so this one might be just as good even though the software is somewhat dated.
I really like that it’s curved and I want to try it out to see just how it feels. The interesting part is the self healing rear cover meant to withstand scratches in your pocket, not direct intentional scratches.
