GTAiv: Lost and Damned – first impressions

December 26, 2011December 26, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on GTAiv: Lost and Damned – first impressions

I just started to play Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. It took me some time to get back to GTA controls after some Red Dead Redemption. My first impressions start with the knowledge that there are two episodes. I did not know they were two. Thought it would be just one new story. […]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

December 25, 2011December 25, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

First, yeah, it is a good choice to see The Exorcism of Emily Rose in Christmas Day. Much better than watching it on Halloween or something. I was expecting something more from the movie. It doesn’t have that big special effects I was expecting (but that’s probably good, as Jennifer Carpenter as a great performing), […]

Tamara Drewe (2010)

December 23, 2011December 23, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Tamara Drewe (2010)

Tamara Drewe (2010) is a story about love and betrayal, sex and teenager rubbish. I will not describe the plot here as you can read a minimal description on IMDB, and giving more information than that would have too many spoilers. In any case, the movie is somewhere in between romance and comedy, although it […]

Red Dead Redemption

December 21, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Red Dead Redemption

I’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption for some time. Well, in fact, I do not play it for a while, but it is the latest game I played on my XBox (that I am not using that much, I must confess). I am a fan of Grand Theft Auto and therefore I needed to test […]

Artificial Intelligence for Games errata

December 21, 2011December 21, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Artificial Intelligence for Games errata

This year I am teaching Artificial Intelligence for Games. I grabbed some book PDFs from the Internet (yes, sorry, it would be impossible to buy all the books to choose one, and libraries around doesn’t have books in this thematic) and I chose a pair of books to buy. One of them is this Artificial […]

December 20, 2011December 20, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Mac OS X ‘ls’ vs GNU ‘ls’

There are a few details that can change completely you decision when to use one version of a command or another. Mac OS X ‘ls’ command is one of those you do not want, and you are desperate to install GNU version of ‘ls’. Check the differences (below ‘gls’ is the GNU version of ‘ls’). […]

Lion, and some more impressions

December 18, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on Lion, and some more impressions

And here I am, back on my comments on Lion. First, I will let you know that the things that I am liking more in this new machine are not related with the operating system itself, but different approaches I am taking, like the usage of homebrew for installing UNIX software. Also, the hardware makes […]

The Last Airbender (2010)

November 11, 2011November 11, 2011ambsLeave a Comment on The Last Airbender (2010)

The idea is great, and I wonder why there isn’t a great game with this idea already available. Of course Diablo has some similarities, but the idea of the four main elements is not there. But then, the movie could be much better with the same story behind. There are lots of slow (or even, […]
