  • Computer Woes

    Life without computers can sure be tough even if were for a day or two . Unfortunately i discovered it the hard way . Two days ago , while i was watching a movie on my computer , there was a sudden voltage fluctuation and my computer simply turned off .

    After that, when i tried to switch it back on, it refused to do so . Then i realized my SMPS was probably screwed . To my horror , my UPS also got screwed . So two bad things in one night for me . The nearest place i could get all these stuff was Shimla which was around 25 Km from my college .I couldnt leave my college for 2 days due to classes and stuff . Luckily , yesterday most of my classes was off, and so i was finally able to purchase all those things . All these expenditure reduced my pocket by Rs 2500 but finally it was good to see my computer back on again .

  • Ubisoft working on “Heroes” game

    Heroes is one of my favourite TV series . With the gaming industry now turning to TV Series for there inspiration , it was not a surprise to me when this was announced .

    The game will be developed by Ubisoft who have an aggrement with Universal Pictures that will allow them to make a game based on the series . The game is expected to available for all the major platforms in 2008 . I think the series has all the ingredients for the making of a successful game . The story line is immersive , the characters are awesome . The game will give the users an option to interact with the huge universe of Heroes so definately it is going to appel to both gamers and the fan of the series .

    And we can expect Ubisoft to do justice to the series with this game . There previous games such as Marvel Ultimate Alliance was well received with the fans . Now i guess the next in the line is going to be Prison Break . What say guys ?
