30 years later: Cannibal Holocaust

Posted Aug.31, 2010 at 12:15 AM by Pojut under Creepy/Horror, Movies, Nostalgia

Considering we are a PG-13 website, this is the only picture from the film I feel comfortable posting. I'm not kidding.

30 years ago, Cannibal Holocaust was unleashed upon the world.  It went on to become one of the most controversial movies ever…no small feat, considering it came from the same country that gave us everything from Salo to Suspiria.  Hit the read more link for a look back at this blood-soaked classic.

Note: There are some story spoilers (not that you’d watch Cannibal Holocaust for the story, ha!)

Microsoft upping sound quality on Xbox Live voice communications

Posted Aug.27, 2010 at 8:45 AM by Pojut under Misc

Picture from hackmod.com

Microsoft is finally addressing the crap voice quality issue with Xbox Live, with plans to significantly up the bitrate the service uses.  My endless days of Rainbow Six: Vegas would have really appreciated this update a couple of years ago, but better late than never!

Buying used games cheats publishers

Posted Aug.24, 2010 at 10:20 AM by Pojut under Misc

According to Cory Ledesma of THQ, buying games used cheats the publisher out of money.  While I think “cheating” is a bit strong, the man’s point is true.  However, I find it interesting that his theory only applies to video games for him, and not cars…or books…or movies…or just about any other product.

Samsung firmware update breaks Universal & Warner Bros movies

Posted Aug.23, 2010 at 7:22 AM by Pojut under Misc
