Deus Ex High Definition Texture Pack

This is the reason that will make me beat the game one more time. There is still some work to do, but the screens look very nice and the developers seem very serious, so I think this website is worth getting bookmarked.

Gasol arrives to L.A.

Last Friday was one of the most important dates in Spanish sport history. Pau Gasol, arguably the best basketball player in our history, signed for the Los Angeles Lakers.

I think that this trade is something like a masterpiece by Mike Kupchak. They get one all-star for their weakest position, giving almost nothing: Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, two future first-round picks and Marc Gasol. Kwame Brown is an obstruction in every time he plays for and getting rid of it is nearly as good as signing Pau Gasol. Javaris Crittenton has strong potential, but he wouldn't have played so much in LA, and the same happens with Marc Gasol. Those two Draft picks will be in the 25-30 range, so it's difficult that any good player will come out of them.

Now I think that the Lakers are a real title contender. Their lineup (Fisher-Kobe-Odom-Gasol-Bynum) scares me, and I think that they can beat any team in the West (Spurs, Suns...) and in the East (Celtics, Pistons...), unless they aret affect by injuries.

Why Tim Schafer is one of my idols

Tim Schafer was already one of my idols. I think that Monkey Island 1 & 2, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and even Psychonauts are pretty good. However, after reading this article by him I have no doubt:

I just finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and I will tell you this: I liked it a lot. It had beautiful environments, fun platforming, and the awesome phrase, "I'll kick you to sleep!" You should all go play it right now. It was all super next-gen, but the most next-gen thing about it to me was Drake's shirt. Check it out: Somehow it's tucked in, and yet not tucked in, at the very same time. Of all the technical marvels contained in Uncharted, this was the one that really mystified me.

Yes, the shirt was dirty, like he had partied in it all night, passed out, threw up on himself repeatedly in his sleep, and was then left in a ditch outside of town by his mean friends. And by the time he walked home his shirt was dry, so he just said, "The hell with it. Let's go find some treasure."

So, on his left side, he tucked the shirt in, to show his trim figure and stylish belt buckle. "What a handsome young man," you might say, "If he gets that shirt washed, he may date my daughter." But his right side is untucked, like the shirt of a wild man, a renegade, a scoundrel. "What is that guy up to? Why is his shirt untucked? Does he not give a damn about me and my rules?"

At no time during the game does Drake stop and tuck in the loose part of his shirt. Nor does he ever just say, "The hell with it!" and untuck the whole thing. It remains in a state of half dress for the length of the game, through all sorts of climbing, jumping, and scampering. Jet skiing, swimming, and almost kissing--nothing can dislodge or fully tuck Drake's half-casual shirt. It is draped in a purgatory state, half in, half out, never completely free. It's like an unfinished symphony.

Then I realized what a clever invention the half-tuck is. How better to show off your rock-hard abs, but still create an air of nonchalance? Much like how a mullet shows the world your business side in the front, and your party side in the back, the half-tuck tells one story on the right side, but a completely different story on the left. In encapsulates the contradiction that you are: The shy extrovert, the organized slob, the guy who likes to shop at Banana Republic but also likes to fall into the Gap when he's feeling a little crazy. The half-tuck reassures the ladies that you're a man who cares about personal grooming, but who, at the same time, couldn't give a f##k. Who doesn't like that?

Of all the treasure I found on this quest, I think this little fashion tip is the one I will cherish the most.

My PS3 & PSP collections

It's been a long time since my last and interesting post. I'm not necessarily saying that this post is interesting, but at least it has something to do with videogames.

PS3 Collection

PSP Collection

Today I'm showing you my PS3 and PSP games collections. I know that there are some must-haves that I don't own, like Resistance, Ninja Gaiden or Heavenly Sword for PS3 and Syphon Filter, Vice City, Tekken or Ratchet & Clank. However, I'm really proud of my collection, I'm enjoying or have enjoyed every game, and nowadays I find very hard to have a decent collection (mainlty because of the price).

What do you think?
