Game Over On!

Finally I pimp my Xbox. Got it modded to basically have it as a Media Center. It even has loads of emulators to play my old-school games. One in particular is WWF Wrestlemania. Man! They don't make such games anymore. Its a very basic game but the final moves of the players are so fantasized (skulls flying, hams falling, wolves), it just brings the game to a different level. Besides WWF, I have a few Mario games for Snes and a few Xbox games to I play. XBMC is another app which is the multimedia part of the media center. I hooked up my xbox to my router and now, my PC can easily stream all the audios and videos I have (I use ccxstream for now). Which leads me to build my own file server very soon.

Its cheats are the simplest (type god to be in god mode) and has almost similar graphics as Quake2. Only difference here...

Back From Vacation

Critics, get ready! (I don't have any fans for my blog, just critics and occasional random reader ;) ) I am back from a long vacation.

Regular blogging will pick up soon after my brain stops farting all the nostalgic moments from the trip. It keeps coming out like a smooth 5sec transitioned Picasa-Slideshow. No wonder when I watched Swades the other day, I felt it is the best movie a director can ever make. Thud! *My head hits hard with a Reality rock* Work is piling up and I have moved out from my holiday mood. I'll not talk about what I did on my trip here. Or even on what happened after I left Mumbai . There are many discussions, debates, arguments, suggestions, help on this matter. All I can say is, my support is for the people of Mumbai. I don't feel an urge to pour my emot...

I am India

I have always liked Bharat Bala's initiatives to bring a sense of patriotism. This is his latest offering. "This film is a journey through emerging India, 'the fastest growing free market democracy in the world'. It celebrates the relentless spirit of the people of India, who through their karma give it a place amongst the leading economic nations of the world. Conceived and produced by Bharatbala Productions (BBP) for India Band Equity Foundation (IBEF)."
