I have the perfect present for you if you’re a fan of Diablo II and don’t want to wait until Blizzard releases Diablo III.

Play Torchlight, preferably on Steam, it’s the perfect game to help you getting through the probably very long time of waiting until you can finally call Diablo III your own. Torchlight is basically an improved Diablo II clone with a 3D engine but unfortunately without a multiplayer option.

Until January 4th you can buy it for just $9.95 USD (on Steam until January 3rd for $9.99 USD). Don’t think, buy. It’s at least as addictive as Diablo II with better graphics, smoother gameplay and if you use Steam you have Steam Cloud support and Steam Achievements. Steam Cloud support means you can play the same save games and characters wherever you log in to a Steam Client.

Happy holidays and a happy new year!!

For some reason the embedded video doesn’t work. Until I found a way to fix this simply click the image or the link to watch the video.

The next movie that caught my attention is ‘Inception’. It’s starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Caine and is directed by Christopher Nolan who directed movies like ‘The Dark Knight’, ‘Batman Begins’, ‘The Prestige’ and ‘Memento’. It will be a Science Fiction Movie, but it’s not quiet clear what exactly it’ll be about. My guess is something similar to ‘The Cell’ and/or
‘The Thirteenth Floor’. It’s supposed to hit the cinemas in July 2010 (Germany August).

The third one is ‘The Wolfman’ supposedly available to you on February 10th (Germany February 11th) 2010 at a theater near you. =) Big suprise it’s about werewolves and the trailer looks very promising. Main characters are played by Anthony Hopkins, Benicio Del Toro and Hugo Weaving.

The last movie is ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx to be released on October 16th in the USA.

Six years too early according to Robert Zemeckis and neither Sports Almanac nor DeLorean in sight.

Explanation:

So what about this post? First the picture. It’s from the second ‘Back To The Future’ movie that takes place in 2015, which is six years from now. When this future fax arrives Marty has been fired and the future doesn’t look so good until Marty and Doc travel back through time (using a DeLorean) save the original time line (by retrieving the Sports Almanac) and the fax turns blank.

Still, why this post? Simple, because I was fired as well. But don’t worry- everything goes according to plan, even though it’s plan B.

District 9 plays in an alternate timeline where aliens made first contact 30 years ago. The unusual is that they were refugees and the last survivors of their kind. They’ve been held in Johannesburg’s District 9 for the last 30 years until humanity decides what to do with them. So far, aliens refused to share their technology with mankind which is why a private company (MNU) is now given control over District 9. But MNU couldn’t reveal the secrets of the alien’s weaponry because it can only be activated by alien’s DNA. Things get complicated for an MNU agent when he gets infected with a virus in District 9 that alters his DNA and makes him the key to the alien’s technology and therefor the most wanted human being on earth.
