When HOLLYWOOD is video GAME!



I find films released these days reminding me of old video games that I played, some of them are abandoned now. For instance I take two movies EXPENDABLES and A-TEAM, it’s not just the screenplay or heroic things they do or stuffs they carry its all of them matching with games. I’ll analyze both the movies separately in following paragraphs.


EXPENDABLES, Story line: A Group of 6 American guy with guns kills tons of soldiers of some weak country because they are going to save a girl whom is a native of that country fighting against growing illegal drug plant in her country by another wealthy American! as per standard book of “Hollywood reasons”  head of Expendables group likes the native girl, so they are to save her.
The climax alone is enough to state that this must be a movie on super natural powered guys like X-Men not guys with superlative intelligence and physic. This movie reminds me every much of Contra, Quake, House of Death, ____ Dragon which asks you to shoot/fight against weak gangs first and at end fight hard and tough against final enemy to find a girl kidnapped or bombs to be dismantled. Just like game hero guys kill tons of native soldiers, with no bullets of native soldiers hitting them (Super contra, Quake provides shield and extra life on putting cheats when just game starts). At last Villain takes the girl and then hero gets her back! Then they lived happily forever!!


A-TEAM, Story line:  4 American soldiers’ forms a team unknowingly on the go, their execution style and intelligence make them live legends. Often they’ll get caught and escapes out with top hands help, actually movie runs around American dollar plates/dyes that are stolen by terrorist and wanted by CIA agent. Unlike Expendables this movie runs with nice logic.
Only the screenplay makes me think it as a game, when a plan is dictated by the lead to his mates it is already half executed! Price of Persia, Hitman: Silent Assassination are some games that I can compare with this movie, both the game dictates the current/future level in a video format. If there is some other thing that I can compare with it is going to the availability of map, thrust guns that they get on the way which they need not carry. Know the rule of game every level brings you new weapon to use and bring new area (map) to attack and conquer which is available on Pause menu.


Both these films resemble very much like Counter strike!
Moral: DO NOT MISS A-TEAM, please SKIP EXPENDABLES even if you get free DVDs.

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

When would the thriller end in Group B?

Chennai, 18/01/2011 World Cup 2011, the final four from Group B is to be decided in the last league match of the tournament. If the last played match in Group B between England and West Indies on 17/03 was won by West Indies there would not be any problem. Now I'll discuss the possibilities! If Bangladesh is to Exit This is the simplest of all, if BAN is going to lose against South Africa they'll make their way out from World Cup. If West Indies is to Exit This is next possible if BAN wins SA, and India wins West Indies they are out with 6pts while team ahead of them will have 7pts and 8pts. If England to Exit This is next in list, If BAN wins over SA. If Ind Vs WI match ends with WI winning by small or moderate margin. If India to Exit The most impossible to happen thats why I say India is already qualified! After BAN wins SA, WI must achieve a target over 250runs in 25 overs or target over 300runs in 30 overs. If India is going to chase West Ind...

A trip to Meluha alongside Shiva

I never comment about his attitude or his grin face very ill tempered guy… no one wants to mess with him. He was breathing heavy probably he just battled out someone near our lake’s bank or was he resting after his regular practice. Why does the blood stains are still there in his sword probably he just put few life to end, just before I could ask him to wash them we heard some announcement deep from Manasarowar. Couple of strangers were using some bizarre tools to shout, actually they are inviting us to their town. I wanted to warn of letting strangers inside village but Shiva had other ideas, he was sure they are not part of local barbaric tribes. May be our ancestors mustn’t have allowed other tribes to fetch water from the holy lake, their thirst was for blood not water. I thought he can discuss about foreigners to him but he was so depressed about next barbaric attack from local tribes. Before dusk another attack we were not able to prevent the murder of kids and women. Ruthl...

How to make Recycle bin understand your mood? Delete operations made easier

I know the title is bit void ;) but i can't come up with better. With the internet age on high we are finding it difficult to actually delete outdated items. So here is way to make your Recycle bin to understand you. How? Properties dialog box of it :) Recycle bin Properties dialog box Right click Recycle-bin icon to access Properties , at the bottom of dialog box you'd find a check box (Red box in image) whether to ask for conformation un-check it when you are on week-end PC clean work. Delete operations are now just a button away ;) cool isn't it, but beware of consequences. {Sorry for the old-look image I use windows classic theme, as I heard it will use only minimum processor so speed will increase you can try this too } Still not enough you want the file to go away... just go away instead of sitting in recycle bin watch the pink box. Click configure for independent drives, every drive tab will have options similar to as Global settings except for '...

The MFRP @ Best

The training that I experience here in Cognizant is good, after clearing all those modules I was waiting for the MFRP final review. At the first review our team was not able to perform well because we were not working as a team. It was more a single handed project, it was regarded as structured but not Object oriented programming by our Mentor these comments made us realize that we are struck deep and in dark. In the extension or the final phase of project we followed agile methodology in which I played as Business Analyst / Tester. Predominantly I was to be involved in resolving bug, code analysis and design, but nothing stopped me from helping in coding. I worked on bringing a program with BLOB data type that could handle all binary formats and a new theme/look for our project to make the interface look cool. I accomplished both the task on time with sincere guidance from Yusuf and Viswa (the two M.Tech grads in my batch with extensive practi...
