An Inconvenient Truth

The sun sends out light waves to the earth which are reflected by Infra Red Radiation into the earth's thin atmosphere which then reflects back to us although the earth's atmosphere is becoming thicker because of pollution causing infra red radiation to be trapped therefore making the planet hotter.

There is a great danger in global warming destroying our planet. This presentaton by Al Gore explains the damage we are doing to the planet, animals and our well-being. There could be a vast change in climate within the next fifty years according to Gore.

He makes the point of people's misunderstanding with the Earth's fragility which I believe is important and why we are in danger of destroying the planet. Many people describe this presentation as dubious and exaggerated. Even so maybe people should be panicking about this sooner rather than later to make any difference they can before it is too late.

No other politician wants to cause such panic among us although Al Gore is giving us a chance to save ourselves through this presentation. He has been chastised by other politicians through the media who choose to ignore the fact we will be in real trouble in years to come if we continue to destroy the planet.

He uses several charts and graphs to show the extremities our current actions will create in the future. From one level to an incredible rise which would be our demise. The ice caps keeping our climate at an unharmful temperature are melting because of global warming. This may wipe out the polar bear. The rise of carbon dioxide levels on one chart showing vast increased temperatures in the next fifty years.

The fact of the matter is people are already dieing from severe weather conditions and natural disasters. In hotter countries across the world people are having many deaths from hotter summers, floods, hurricanes and typhoons.

There are many things people should know in how to prevent the damage global warming is causing such as planting a tree, which through it's lifetime will absorb a ton of carbon dioxide, thermostats, recycling and hybrid cars.

LAbyrinth

Recently read the book about corruption in the LAPD following the murders of rappers Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace. From the outset we are told the story of a cop shooting of ironically another cop. The corrupt victim who instigated the altercation was African-American and therefore this was castigated through the media as a race related case. The book follows an LAPD officers hard work on the case.

The story also follows other corrupt officials and the removal of cocaine which was kept as evidence by the police, and also an officer being responsible for the pregnancy of a minor. There are many references to things not done legitimately. One under-cover division was closed, therefore causing a rise in crime. This just proving what a problem these corrupt officials create.

A lot of the story follows Suge Knight and death row records. Sometimes up to seventy gang members were at his recording studios, also police officers were employed as security staff, thus arousing suspicion among the detective on this case towards a man who had previously been charged with breaking the law including witnesses afraid to testify against this man who held such power. Someone was murdered at a death row party involving gang members and nobody was charged.

The story unfolds lots of suspicions surrounding the murders and that the truth could be found if looked for, rather than the media and others misleading the public to believe that these crimes are a mystery.

His final report on the case was changed from around forty pages to just two, as usual the powers that be decide to withhold the truth from the media. This lack of judgement in withholding the truth will probably always be a problem especially in this situation with both crooked cops and race discrimination.

Resident Evil 5 and Silent Hill: Homecoming

Recently just completed Resident Evil 5 and didn't find any puzzles throughout the game. Does this game need them? I think maybe it does because it's only taken a week to finish it. I am currently playing Silent Hill: Homecoming and I am impressed by this game.
There are many puzzles in this 'Homecoming' instalment to the excellent series and you have to search to get further. Although I haven't completed it yet I think the puzzles make the game more interesting instead of shooting your way through the game as in Resident Evil 5.
The action does keep RE5 exciting in an arcade way of looking at it but maybe a few puzzles wouldn't have gone a miss.

Resident Evil 5

Another instalment of the very popular 'Resident Evil' series comes to xbox 360. The fifth game sees Chris Redfield accompanied by a new partner 'Sheva' in Africa to challenge and put an end to the evil plot of Albert Wesker. Vulnerable countries have been targeted by Albert Wesker to release bio terrorism. The people are infected and zombified.
The game's graphics are excellent and the monsters you face are very realistic and give the experience of an animated film. The transformed people now mindless come thick and fast to attack you. You can play the game online, playing through as someone's partner. The character control is fantastically fluid and more direct with your 360 controller movement to give an added effect of realism.

Nintendo Wii

I hadn't seen a vast change in video games since I bought the original Playstation. There was an improvement in graphics on the Playstation 2 but I would hardly describe it as next generation platform. When I started playing the original Playstation I couldn't put it down and that was just the demo disc! I played the demo disc for about 8 hours not stop although I was 11 years old at the time. Maybe it was ahead of it's time or the fact that the games had been converted to disc rather than cartridge.

This Nintendo Wii is definitely a step in the right direction towards the next generation platform and actually actively being involved with character movement is what we expect. Virtual reality will improve game diversity although the usual games will also be popular and there's no denying that graphics and gameplay are at a high standard.

I have spent a lot of time on the sports games and I am impressed at the active part of it especially multiplayer wise. Also I think the Wii fit game is a good addition and motivates you to exercise.

Terminator: Salvation

I have seen the trailer for the new Terminator film named 'Terminator: Salvation' and it looks for the action scene interest person. From watching the trailer you see straight away that the world has become a war zone. James Cameron's first two films were excellent although the third instalment was a huge dissapointment in my opinion. Although obviously it's hard to judge how good this film will be with the world now in ruins and John Connnor creating his resistance. Every true fan to the series will still want to see these films and the story is going to be character based and sounds like the foundations are credible.

Lot's of action films have a sequel, change director for third film and it just doesn't live up to the previous two. Christian Bale is now playing John Connor in this fourth instalment and their are two more films planned.

James Cameron advised if their was another film made it should involve the war against the machines rather than protecting John Connor. Many people believe that sequels are inferior to their predecessor. John Carpenter said he struggled with an idea to make a sequel to the classic original Halloween film and was not involved in any of the other films involving the Michael Myer's masked character. He rejected any involvement with Halloween H20.
