January 26 – Australia Day !! Throw A few Lamb Chops On The Barbie !!

Help Capsule Computers CELEBRATE AUSTRALIA DAY !! A DAY WE ALL STAND UP BE PROUD THAT WE’RE ALL AUSTRALIAN AND MOST OF ALL THROW SOME LAMB CHOPS ON THE BARBIE !! Check out the video below of Australia’s first “Lambassador” and his Plea to the United Nations to make January 26th  INTERTNATIONAL AUSTRALIA DAY !! 

It’s a great laugh 🙂  Enjoy & Happy Australia Day to ALL from Capsule Computers.  We’re all out having a BEER & throwing a few LAMB Chops on the Barbie !! 😉  See you all tomorrow !!

After five years of campaigning against unAustralian behaviour across the nation and urging us to unite over a lamb chop on Australia Day, Sam Kekovich is set to take his cause global.

Convinced that mankind is facing a pandemic that threatens its very existence – unAustralianism – Sam will ask the United Nations to declare 26 January International Australia Day in his 2010 Address.

Says Kekovich: “Our world would be a much better place if it were more Australian. If we all came together as mates over a lamb barbie – just as we do Down Under.”
Sam’s global vision is to have every citizen of the world throwing some chops on the grill on 26 January and proudly proclaiming “Ich bin ein Barbecuer”.

As Australia’s first ‘Lambassador’, Sam will depart the country today, embarking on a tour which will see him put his case to business, political and social leaders from the United Nations Headquarters in New York to Hollywood in Los Angeles.

On the eve of his inaugural mission as Lambassador, Sam received an honorary handshake from Federal Minister for Agriculture, Tony Burke.

“I wish Sam every success with his mission to share our unique Australian values and past times with the world, including enjoying a lamb chop on the barbie. It’s a great thing for Australia and our lamb industry,” Minister Tony Burke said.

Sam’s Address to the United Nations will first air on Monday 11 January. In typical Sam style, his address will see him cite acts of gross unAustralianism from a local to a global scale.

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY !!

Another Modern Warfare 2 Glitch

Senior Editor at Capsule Computers : Duraroc is BACK once again with more information on Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer gameplay problems and glitches faced by everyone playing online especially XBOX 360 owners.  Once again there are some very good points and most of all it’s a very informative and interesting read, check it out and let us know what you think of it.  Leave a comment below.

Well here we are, another day and oh look another MW2 glitch. Yes that’s right another one! I suppose this is what happens when you have over 8.5 million people playing this game.

I am not one for advocating glitches. I think they are cheating, despicable and ruin the fun for other people who want to play fair. But they are better out, the more people that know about them, the more people will use them and the quicker Infinity Ward will fix them.

This glitch is another unlimited Care Package glitch. Youtube video below.

As you can see, it can bring a real disadvantage to the opposing team.

Now this rant is directed at all your people who use glitches in MW2. This one, the Care Package marker run like your superman etc. You WILL get busted one day soon. You WILL use it one too many times and someone from the Xbox Live Enforcement team will see it and then ban you from Xbox Live. To you, cheating scum, I say good riddance. Sure it is fun to do, but seriously, do you think it makes you a better player? What is the real reason you are using the glitches in the game? Why can’t you just shoot, stab, throw grenades like everyone else?

There are NO excuses for using a glitch in a game – if I see you use it – I WILL file a complaint against you for Tampering/Cheating and if you have the guts to stay in the lobby after the game, I will ask you why you were doing it.

Have fun, play fair.

Windows Mobile – The Gaming Future?

Philip Federico

Senior Editor at Capsule Computers : Duraroc wanted to convey his thoughts and feelings to all of us about the future of Windows Mobile Gaming… Is it the Future ? The Past OR the STONE AGES ????  Enjoy this hilarious & cool article that also includes 3 YES 3 game reviews 😉   *now please rememeber this all in good fun no HTC Touch HD feelings were hurt in the making of this article*

Hi Everyone, DuraRoc here, I have not one but 3 reviews for you today and it is from something a little different.

I have a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC own front end.  It’s a very sexy phone and it does everything of a phone that I ask of it.  I also use it to watch movies at 800×400 resolution on its 4.1” screen.  Sometimes I also listen to the great FM radio.  Hamish and Andy on the way home always make me laugh, and I always cop funny looks from my laughter on the train home.  For those overseas viewers, you can download Hamish and Andy’s Podcast’s from iTunes.

What the phone does have, is 3 of the best games I have ever played on Windows Mobile.  They keep me very busy on the train to and from work, they also keep the kids busy when the kids need some distracting.  I will convey my thoughts below and you may think, these are old games, with everything else out there today, why would I bother  with these.  Let me just say that all 3 games are timeless.  Who remembers playing Solitaire 15 years ago on Win 3.0?  Come on don’t be shy you can tell Uncle DuraRoc.  Anyways, here are my thoughts on these 3 fantastic games!!!

Bubble Breaker

 

The game is simple, get rid of the bubbles, trying to match the colours with as many as you can for higher points.  There are a few modes to keep everyone entertained, Standard as shown in the screenshot, Continuous, Shifter and the one I love the most MegaShift.  I can also play the game Landscape or Portrait mode.  Yeah you just trying doing that on a iPhone with GTA!! 😛

Anyway, back to the game.  Trying to convey my thoughts on this game is quite hard, as you can see it’s looks simple but is fantastic – I remember one day playing this on the train and being so immersed in its game play and fun that a 50 minute train ride felt like 5 minutes! I couldn’t ask for anything more from this game really.

Graphics on this game are outstanding, and it really shines on the Touch HD’s 4.1” 800×400 screen.  There is even great sound, beeping and stuff like that.

I would rate this game a 8.5 Capsules out of 10!!  Simply Brilliant!!

Teeter

 

All I can say about this game is WOW!!!  It’s very simple, get the ball in the green hole without it falling into the black holes – yeah simple you say, if you have a shakey hand like me from too many years of smoking you will find this game very very hard!!!  It a very smart game, it uses the phone Gyrator hardware for you to be able to manipulate the ball around.

My son @MiniDuraRoc loves this game, he has been up to Level 40 on a long wait in the SCG car park trying to get out after a Swans match and he loves to laugh at me because I can’t get very far.  The other boy in the house @LittleMiniDuraRoc is also starting to love this game, he is also better than me at this game and I love seeing his face when he sinks that ball!

Graphics again in this game are brilliant, the screenshot above tells the picture really, what more can I say.   Did I mention playing on a 4.1” screen at 800×400 res is brilliant!  The sound is also very very good, I love hearing that plunk sound when the ball drops into that green hole.

I would rate this one 9.5 Capsules out of 10 just for its sheer simplicity and its ability to keep a 9yo saying nothing for over an hour in a car park!

Solitaire

This game speaks for itself.  Come on, who out there does NOT like Solitaire?  What an absolutely timeless brilliant game!  Oh the joy when all those little cards get into their piles and then all the cards fall down!!  I won’t go much into this game, as we all know it and really it reviews itself.

Graphics, well as you can see above are brilliant.  Look at that chair on that HTC Touch HD’s screen at 800×400.  Look at the spade, the detail of it, the diamonds are sharp and sexy.

Sounds are also in there. The little beeps give me goosebumps.

Trying to convey my thoughts on this game is quite simple, I would rate this a 10 Capsules out of 10!!!!!!  Should be GOTY for every year coming.

In final summation conveying my thoughts on these 3 brilliant games – ask yourself this.  In 10 years time do you think you will be playing Solitaire or GTA?  Let me know your comments.

Have a good one.
