• HD DVD is Dead!!!

  Today marks a day of a new technology crashing to the ground. Toshiba Corporation, the brainchild behind the glorified new movie media known as High Definition Digital Video Disc, or HD-DVD for short, pulled the plug on their so called superior technology. The ongoing and bloody battle has been raging for months where Sony’s technology known as Blu Ray was going head to head with HD-DVD. This was known to come to an end at some time, as the differences in the two mediums were virtually unnoticeable. The Blu Ray discs hold a bit more amount of data on them, which makes them technically superior to the HD-DVD medium. The only fall back that has been mentioned about the Blu Ray is that the protective coating on the bottom of the disc is mere fractions thinner than the protective coating of the HD-DVD discs. Users have to be more gentle and show more care for their Blu Ray Discs when handling them, which can be seen as a downfall. These are the main differences in the two mediums, and both of them offer the same exact high fidelity and the difference can’t be noticed by the human eye. When it really comes down to it, the amount of movie companies that were choosing HD-DVD were dwarfed by the amount of companies who chose Blu Ray. It was always a disappointment when a new movie came out to DVD, and the company chose HD-DVD instead of Blu Ray. Well now that has been laid to rest, and in the 34th round of fighting, HD-DVD is down for the count. Blu Ray is now the king of media, and improvements will be made to this technology to offer its viewers an even more intense viewing experience.

  Doth thoughest knowest of thine Dragons Lair in yonder West Hartford? For many a fine yeareth, the writers of Old-Wizard hath gone to thine Dragon’s Lair for gaming supplies and found both supplies and stinkiness. Now those days are over as the Dragon’s Lair is empty with no Dragons or treasures. However the stink remains. All the halls are filled with its foul reek. Farewell to you gaming store we’ve been thrown out of, loved and hated for so long. Why you closed, we are uncertain, although our hearts will be forever open to your return. Plus it will save us gas by not having to drive so far for commons. Adieu.

  Today marks a sad day in the realm of digital music and file sharing. What was first started as oink.co.uk and more recently transferred to oink.cd, was the cozy little corner of the internet with a nice music sharing community. Users were able to upload full albums to the site and share their beloved musical jewels with other users. As long as users kept their sharing ratio at a decent level, everybody was allowed to take and give music or other files as they wished. We have caught news that today the owners of oink.cd got their servers raided in Amsterdam, and the site has been completely shut down. The greedy music giants have shut down a perfect utopia of people who have enjoyed and shared their music for years and years. When will the music battle finally end? When will we be back to full album sharing over a digital medium? This was a breakthrough service, which united people on a common ground, and has been devastated instantly, with no warning or remorse.

  The gaming giant and mass producer of mediocre games, Electronic Arts(EA), has announced its deviant intentions to buy the online gaming demi-phenom Mythic Entertainment. While many readers may have suckled on Mythic’s past holy grail, Dark Age of Camelot, the latest concern is their current brainchild, Warhammer Online. Granted they didn’t think the idea up, they have recently picked up the slack and have been developing what looks like a great mmorpg set in the warhammer universe. How the merger of EA and Mythic will affect the grandulous old world beauty we have come to expect from mythic remains to be seen. However, with the quality of games that EA has put out in the past, I fear Warhammer Online may fall into the eye of chaos(cheap pun)….

Search your feelings, you know its true. Old-Wizard will be with you…always.
