ChenZen

So according to the Telegraph.co.uk, twitter and other social networking sites have been used as a means to add hundreds of new words to the Collins English Dictionary.  They note words such as ‘hmm,’ ‘heh,’ and ‘meh’ as having been added due to the younger generation using them in common speech as well as online. 

WARNING: This review contains spoilers. So this movie took me by surprise when I watched it with my mother on Friday.  Everyone has been telling me how good of a movie it was, but I was still a bit skeptical.  That is, until I actually saw it.

So apparently at the Game Crazy convention, there was some gameplay video taken and leaked onto youtube.  So here it is!

So apparently IBM has taken pictures of atomic bonds for the first time ever.  The picture below is an image of an actual molecule with carbon and hydrogen atoms sticking together.  Kind of like something you would see out of an organic chemistry class. I think this is very exciting news.  We all know that [...]

The drop of the price for the 80GB PS3 model had an immediate effect on the market.  This week, sales have already increased a whopping 30% according to VGChartz.  It seems that the overall sales have not been as high as they would have expected though.

So, exciting news: school started.  Again.  It’s funny how ever since you turn about 5 years old, you start going to school.  Then you basically stay in an institution for at least the next 12/13 years. 

So a little while ago I wrote my impressions of Canaan, an anime season that is currently ongoing.  Well it seems that Good Smile Company is currently making a Canaan figurine that is now available for pre-order.

So Danny and I have been working basically non-stop on ChenZen the past week or so getting the site up, writing posts, publicizing, talking to people, and trying to stabilize our server space, among many other things as well.  So I officially declare that every Saturday, starting from this Saturday, to be “material gathering day.”  [...]

So we already know about the Barbarian, the Witchdoctor, and the Wizard classes for Diablo 3.  Now, with Blizzcon upon us, we have the Monk joining our legions as another soldier in the fight against darkness.

So the guys over at Kotaku just confirmed that this $300 price cut isn’t all what it seems right now.  So what is it really?  Well Kotaku found a nice Japanese article that showed what you’d actually be spending on the new little piece of hardware.

So last night I was able to grab the new Wolfenstein by id software and published by Activision.  I sat down and played straight on through with maybe a 20 minute break in the middle, so I’m going to try to put everything I thought about this game now while it’s still fresh. I guess [...]

So recently at [Pocketables], there were a bunch of images released of an unidentified Android MID (Mobile Internet Device).  So far I haven’t been able to find any information on this device, aside from the pictures, but it looks like it will be pretty awesome. 

So another series that I have been watching this summer season goes by the name of “Canaan.”  The plot of Canaan isn’t the most original, but it’s a pretty good “girls with guns” take.  There’s action and some kind of plot (which I haven’t quite figure out yet, but I’m working on it).  The first [...]

So Danny took me, Riceboy0019 (Sherman), and a few other of our friends to a Japanese Buffet near Menlo Park Mall in New Jersey last night called IchiUmi (or One Ocean if I’m right).  To be honest, I wasn’t expecting too much from a buffet, but was going to try to eat more than my [...]

So we’ve been experiencing almost 12 hours of downtime since we last saw many of you, if you’re actually still with us.  First, our webhost was having trouble their SQL servers last night, which prompted us to just wait for it to fix and come back up.  Then, this morning – after confirming that the [...]

Wait, that’s in 4 days right?  So [Activision] will be releasing this new iteration of Wolfenstein, and I think it actually looks pretty decent.  It’s not a game that I’m absolutely waiting for, but it’s about to come out and having played [Return to Castle Wolfenstein], I figure I’ll probably give this a spin eventually; [...]

So Tuesday I went to a baseball game.  The game was the New York Yankees vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.  Went with three of my friends via the train to New York from New Brunswick.  One of my friends lives on the Rutgers campus, so we went to his house first and then walked over [...]

[Brian Lam] has recently confirmed the existence of the Apple Tablet.  He had gotten an encrypted message from someone who wanted to give him the scoop on the device. Brian recounts his whole tale of getting in contact with his source, ‘[redacted],’ and what [redacted] says, but here are the details you probably want to [...]

So I realize I just posted about Bakemonogatari, but the ending single disc came out today.  That means I had to grab it, listen to it, and post about it.  I think I mentioned this in my previous [Bakemonogatari] post, but the person who composed this is Ryo from [supercell] who features the singer Nagi [...]

So the Team Fortress 2 team has released a new update yesterday.  And it isn’t for any particular class!  It’s “The first ever classless update.”  Now what new exciting features does this classless update entail? Hats! A whopping 18 of them.  I mean, doesn’t seem like much of an update other than that, but we [...]

So as always, I’ve been watching a ton of anime, but this particular one has perked my interest quite a bit.  Bakemonogatari, which is a play on the words ‘bakemono’ which means ‘monster’ and ‘monogatari’ which means ‘story’ is based off a bunch of light novels by Nishio Ishin.  So essentially ‘Bakemonogatari’ means Monstory or [...]

So the other night I went with Misfire and Kaisuri to 8 on the break.  This is the local arcade that is near our houses.  Actually, it’s the only arcade near our houses, but they’re usually stocked with a few of the newest games out there.  The place is kind small and the interior resembles [...]

So utorrent has released a 2.0 beta with UDP support.  I assume you all already know that utorrent as one of the best bittorrent clients on the web for Windows (along with a mac beta client), so adding this just reinforces their position.  Whether on my PC or hackintosh, I love to use utorrent and [...]

So it’s talk amongst yourselves time at Kotaku and I was just browsing the comments when I came upon this video relatively quickly. Basically the kids are talking about how lame Sega is and how Playstation is better.  The words stick on his mind all day and he ends up going  to a batting center [...]

So today my dad needed me at home to help him construct a new vinyl shed in the backyard.  The entire process took about all day, but it was nice to be outside in the nice weather and actually accomplish something.  The way that people manufacture “do-it-yourself” construction kits is pretty ingenious.  It’s almost like [...]

So I was catching the tail end of the live Sony conference yesterday and saw part of a game that caught my eye.  It’s called the last guardian and from the trailers, it looks super sweet. 

So I was pretty distraught when I learned that the Nintendo Press conference lacked a title I was hoping to hear – the next Zelda.  While I do not own a wii, I still believed that I would play the next Zelda, but with no new word – who’s to say when that could be?
