Wholy Crap Evil Demon Spawn!

Yea.. a friend (john) sent me the link for the Trailer... Just SmackDown-a-lisous... Sorry for that last comment, I appologize.
So the Rock will star as "Sarge" in the new G2M (Game to Movie) "DOOM". Yet another game storyline ripped to pieces. I mean, Its not the Rocks Fault, Im not bitching about him being in the movie, Although they could have picked someone else. But thats not the point of me posting at the moment. Granted that some G2M's or Even C2M (Comics) have had a Great out come, but still the Storyline has a tendincy to be mixed up.


Reading up on the Storyline for the movie Doom they give does it some justice, but the games storyline deals more so with Hell and its Demons, The Plot I read for it, doesnt state much for the Hell reference just something about a Portal to Earth.. Well We'll see, It was suppose to be released August 5, 2005. New Release Date: Oct. 21, 2005.

Burn, Flip, Burn .. Ahhh No Ink....

This is the Freaking Sweetest thing! that I have ever been waiting for, its Freaking PERFECT.. I stopped using labels a few years ago because it is just too damn expensive.

On January 4, 2004, HP announced an innovative new technology to address the problem of labeling CDs and DVDs.

LightScribe technology allows consumers to create silk-screen quality labels on their CDs or DVDs by burning text and graphics directly onto a disc, eliminating the need for adhesive labels.

However, this seems to be an older Technology, But has yet to really catch on. I went looking around on the web to see How much this will cost, i.e. Hardware, Software and media. Suprisingly this setup isnt all that expenisive. Below is a price list of Hardware, Software and Media for the Lightscribe technology.

HARDWARE
  • BenQ - Model #: DW1625 BLK OEM $ 59.99
    WRITE Speed
    DVD+R 16X
    DVD+RW 4X
    DVD-R 8X
    DVD-RW 4X

  • Verbatim
    • 4.7gb 8x DVD+R 10 Pack Spindle $ 12.99
You can spend under $100 bucks to start out. Most of US already have the software, its just a matter of getting the Hardware and Media for it. The cost of the hardware is very cheap, the current regular DVD Burners match what LightScribe Technology Capable DVD Burners offer and at a cheaper price. Although, I did read that DVD Media for this technology are in short supply, they are still available and can be purchased online or in store. For me, I've been looking for this kind of thing for a long while, and It is perfect! I shall be investing shortly. And with that said, I'll surely update when I do.
