Dead Fantasy, Part I

Choose Language: Español / English

Ayer vi la primera parte de este video, que es un video hecho por un fan, de varios personajes de Final Fantasy y Dead or Alive peleandose. Me encantó, me recordó mucho a Matrix y a mi Matrix me encanta. Además, como son solo personajes virtuales, pues hacen cosas bastante increibles y eso me encanta :D. Proximamente, la segunda parte.

Yesterday I saw the first part of this video, is a fanmade video which features some characters from Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive fighting. I loved it, it reminded me a lot of The Matrix and I love The Matrix. Furthermore, as they are only virtual characters, they can do some incredible things, and that's awesome :D. Next, the second part.

The Jack Bauer Facts I

The time has come for me to post the first post about the Jack Bauer facts., the ones i like most that have a relation with the show itself. Here we go: - Jack Bauer was recently named "most likely cause of injury" among C.T.U. security guards. - Jack Bauer arrested RoboCop. Think about that. - Only Jack Bauer can fly a plane from the luggage compartment. - If Jack Bauer was president, he would protect the secret service. - Most people would need months to recover from 20 months of Chinese interrogation. Jack Bauer needs a shower, a shave and a change of clothes. - If everyone on "24" followed Jack Bauer's instructions, it would be called "12". - There have been no terrorist attacks in United States since Jack Bauer has appeared on television. - Jack doesn't believe in Murphy's Law, only Bauer's Law: "Whatever CAN go wrong, WILL be resolved in a period of 24 hours." - Jack Bauer set an ordinary flash memory card to self-destruct. Don't ask how he did it, he's Jack Bauer. - Tony was once shot in the neck, rushed to the hospital, underwent emergency surgery and was back on the job in just a few hours. Jack Bauer still can't believe he went to the hospital first. - Don't ever ask Jack Bauer what is going on. He'll explain in the car. - Chase Edmunds waited until he was sure Jack Bauer was dead before he dumped Kim. - Jack Bauer literally died for his country, and lived to tell about it. - Due to Jack Bauer, no one looks forward to the weekend anymore, they look forward to the weekend being over, and watching 24 on Monday. - American Idol is only popular because it has a commercial for 24. - 1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer. Sounds like a fair fight. - The truth may hurt, but it doesn't hurt as much as Jack Bauer. - Jack Bauer quit for just five minutes, and a nuclear bomb went off. - Jack Bauer does not get taken prisoner. He puts himself in a disadvantageous position so as to make his next several killings more dramatic. - Jack Bauer doesn't have a refresh button on his web browser. All events take place in real time. - If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Nina twice. - If Jack Bauer was in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Nina Meyers, and he had a gun with 2 bullets, he'd shoot Stalin and Hitler so they wouldn't have to bear witness to what he'd do to Nina. - Lets get one thing straight, the only reason you are conscious right now is because Jack Bauer does not feel like carrying you. If any of these makes no sense, ask me, I will more than happy to clarify. Oh yes, this post will only be in english, sorry ^_^'.

24

Choose Language: Español / English

24 fue mi serie favorita durante mucho tiempo, 5 años, hasta que llegó la 6ª temporada, que es la más floja de todas. El hecho de que Heroes se estrenara ese mismo año, tambien tiene mucho que ver, pero este post no es sobre Heroes. Me encanta 24 porque es una serie con un ritmo muy trepidante (todo es en tiempo real, es decir, cada temporada es un dia y cada capitulo una hora de ese dia), es una serie en la que no puedes esperarte lo que va a pasar (no entrare en detalles porque no quiero poner spoilers) y es la serie de Jack Bauer. Me encantan los personajes que son capaces de hacer cosas que la gente corriente no puede (tengo una extraña sensacion de deja vu cuando escribo esto, seguro q ya lo he dicho antes XD). Personajes como Ender, Peter Petrelli (aunque sea tonto XD), Neo (que si, no os enfadéis todas las fans de Peter Petrelli, lo es), Jason Bourne (en serio, cualquier otra persona con todos esos poderes haría las cosas mejor que el :P) y Jack Bauer. De hecho, hay una web de Jack Bauer llamada los Jack Bauer facts (que casualmente es uno de mis links aqui en el blog :D) que hablan de hazañas o hechos relacionados con Jack. Yo los calificaría en dos grupos: los que son reales, es decir, han salido en la serie o son un resultado directo de cosas que ha hecho en la serie y los que son inventados. Mis dos siguientes entradas seran una recopilación de las que más me gustan, separadas en esas dos categorias :).

24 was my favorite tv series for a long while, 5 years, until the 6th season came up, the less good of them all. The fact that Heroes came out that year has a lot to do with that, but this post is not about Heroes. I love 24 because is a series with an action-packed rate (everything takes place in real time, ie: each season is a day and each episode is an hour of that day), you can't expect what's going to happen (I won't go into details because i don't want to say any spoilers) and Jack Bauer is in it. I love characters that are able to do things the average person can't do (i have a weird feeling of deja vu while i'm writing this, i'm sure i've told this before XD). Characters like Ender, Peter Petrelli (even when he's dumb XD), Neo (yes indeed, don't be upset all of you girls who are fans of Peter Petrelli, he is), Jason Bourne (seriously, any other person with all that powers whould do everything better than him :P) and Jack Bauer. As a matter of fact, there is a website hay una web about Jack Bauer called the Jack Bauer facts (which happens to be one of my links here in my blog :D) and talks about Jack deeds or things about him. I'd classify them in two groups: the ones that are real, ie: they are from the series or are a direct result of things he has done in the series and the others are made up. My next posts will be a compilation of the ones i like most, separated in those two categories :).

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Choose Language: Español / English

La saga Call of Duty siempre me ha gustado. El primero y su expansión sobretodo, porque algunas de las misiones a realizar aparecen en Hermanos de Sangre. Así que cuando salió el cuarto supe que tendría que probarlo. Lo que no sabía es que iba a ser tan bueno, ni que me iba a gustar tanto. Concedo que el modo historia sea increiblemente corto (si lo comparamos con el resto de juegos que hay por ahí) pero es TAN intenso que merece la pena. Además, gráficamente es genial (si tu grafica puede soportarlo claro): el prólogo por ejemplo, situado en un un carguero en medio del oceano, con tormenta, rayos, truenos, lluvia, es muy impresionante. Tiene también unos cuantos guiños a algunas películas del género como Black Hawk Down o The Shooter, eso siempre gusta a los fans (al menos a mi me gusta ^_^). He dicho ya que la historia es muy intensa? Esque realmente lo es, en el juego pasan cosas a las que no estamos acostumbrados y todos los que me conozcáis, sabéis que eso me encanta. Y no podría hablar de CoD 4 sin mecionar el modo multijugador. Siempre que he jugado online a un juego de este estilo jugaba al Counter Strike, pero ahora CoD 4 ha ocupado ese lugar. Al empezar a jugar sólo dispones de un número limitado de armas y habilidades para usar, pero mientras vas jugando vas consiguiendo experiencia y con eso desbloqueas.... efectivamente, armas y habilidades XD. Mi favorita, como siempre, es la M4A1 con silenciador. Y que conste que he probado otras ;P. Pero como siempre se ha dicho y siempre digo, una imagen vale mas que mil palabras, así que voy a dejar un par de videos para que los vea el que quiera. Aconsejo ver al menos los primeros 25 segundos del primero. Fue el primer video que vi del juego, y me dejo literalmente con la boca abierta. Oh, un último consejo: jugad en inglés!

I've always liked the Call of Duty saga. The first one and itsexpansion more than the others, because some of the missions you have to fulfill appear in Band of Brothers. So, when the fourth one came out I kwew I'd had to play it. I didn't know that it would be so good nor I would like it so much. I will concede that the single player mode is incredibly short (if we have to compare it with the rest of games out there) but is SO intense that it's worth it. Moreover, graphycaly is great (if your GC can handle it, of course): the prolog for example, takes place in a ship in the middle of the ocean, with a storm, lightning bolts, thunders, rain, pretty impressive. It has some nods to a few war movies like Black Hawk Down or The Shooter, and fans always like that (at least i like it ^_^). Have I told already that the story is very intense? It really is, there are a few things that happen that we are not used to see in games, and all of you who know me, knows that I love that. And I couldn't talk about CoD 4 without talking about the multiplayer mode. Every time I played this kind of game online i played Counter Strike, but now CoD 4 has taken that place. When you start playing you only have a limited number of weapons and perks for you to use, but while you play you get experience points and with those xp you unlock... exactly, weapons and perks XD. My favorite, as always, is the M4A1 with silencer. And for the record I've tried others ;P. But as it`s always been said and I always say, an image is better than a thousand words, so I'm going to post a pair of videos for the people to see as they please. I advise you to watch the first 25 seconds of the first one. It was the fist video of the game I saw and left me literaly with my mouth open.
