What does the world love Justin Bieber? It seems that there’s a healthy amount of males support too, genuine fans, not just screaming teenage girls that are just programmed to love him.
Not only have the little wiggler released an auto-biography of sorts, Yes an auto-biography before the age of 20, it must be less than 50 pages! He has movie too………….
Justin Bieber’s new movie/life story/concert experience/3D extravaganza thing.
The movie give’s an in depth behind the scenes look during the 10 days leading up to Justin’s sold out performance at Madison Square Garden. They follow the emotional journey(*face-palm*) as Justin tries to recover from a throat infection, that leads him to cancel an appearance, visibly crushing the 16 year old, that to be honest does seem to make for an emotion and geniune scene. He is only little afterall.
The movie shows Bieber at his most vulnerable moments and the extreme fanatical devotion of his fans. I personally have never seen anything like it, and surprisingly Island Def Jam president L.A. Reid said “Beatle-mania doesn’t compare.” The sense of wonderment and admiration from his fans was absolutely incredible and had the entire theater choking up to see how ecstatic the girls were when Scooter handed them a pair of free front row seats. For anyone who has ever loved a band, they know that feeling and how those girls will remember that night for the rest of their lives.
3D Paradise Paintball is the latest development in gaming via SNS. It has been presented by the Chinese company Cmune who develop games and applications for social networks. 3D Paradise Paintball has been listed in the top 5 Apple Widgets and the company have been awarded ‘Start-up of the day’ by Microsoft.
The game itself is a first person shoot ‘em up. It surprised me in many ways as being much more advanced than I had expected. The 3D rendering, map sizes and designs rival those of early millenium top-end development releases of the same genre, which, in my opinion, is already a triumph for a free online based and hosted game.
I was also impressed by the loading time, I was expecting to have to download a series of random plug-ins and watch a progress bar for the next 30 minutes, but even this ‘hunk of junk’ desktop of mine was in-game within 3 minutes.
All this mechanical and technical effort is let down slightly be some actual game play issues. The rather strange avatars leave something to be desired and I found it difficult to differentiate between friendlies and enemies at a glance.
The absolute, most important aspect of an FPS, for me, is the hitbox activity, which unfortunately seemed almost non existent. I mean, every time I actually managed to hit another player, I would decrease their health by the same value where ever the shot landed (apart from maybe the head, its quite difficult to tell where you hit). On another occasion I wasted several shots trying to ‘pwn’ this ‘n00b’ that was running away from me, despite my cross-hair landing perfectly in the guy’s back for at least 10 shots, I failed every attempt. Years of gaming experience would suggest to try shooting slightly ahead of the character to account for ‘bullet time’ but this too was without success. Truth is, I just couldn’t work out (bearing in mind I only had the chance to play for a short while) where, how and what affects the hit-boxes. But hey, its not like its trying to be Call of Duty or CS:S is it.
Overall, 3D Paradise Paintball is years ahead of it’s ‘Flash’ game competition and will only improve on their next project. I have every confidence that the Cmune team will be big news in years to come. Good job guys.
