North Korea’s Hangover Free!

There is a God! No more hangovers equals more partying. Only thing that is left is male contraceptive pills and free money!

The state newspaper Pyongyang Time (great start) says the “suave” liquor will spare you holding your head up when you wake and dragging your sorry ass over the porcelain throne, that surprisingly is despite boasting 30%-40% alcohol.

The holy brew as I’m now calling it, is reportedly made from a type of indigenous ginseng called insam and glutinous rice, and cultivated by an organic farming method.

Giving North Korea’s history with outlandish claims its best to take this with a pinch of salt.

According to the paper – the spirit “is highly appreciated by experts and lovers”.

The drink derives from Kaesong (Kay-Song) Koryo (Core-Yo) insam – a natural herb thought to have medicinal properties. According to the Pyongyang Times, replacing sugar with the scorched, glutinous rice removed the bitterness from the insam and, crucially, the hangover – whatever it is, I hope it tastes good and keeps me partying well into the night! 

Turn UP!!

*Now if only I could get some without going into North Korea.

I know what you’re thinking boys, but not THOSE movies. 😉

Augmented Reality is going to be huge according to John Gaeta the creative director of ILMxLab an immersive entertainment-focused company — showing off its insane capabilities at Sundance Film Festivals experimental New Frontier Exhibit showing off “Holo Cinema” Think “Obi Wan you’re my only hope” but bigger. It’s an AR installation that places viewers within the sandy world of Episode VII’s Jakku.

The technology relies on a pair of lightweight, sensor-laden active shutter glasses. These glasses, in combination with a motion-capture system which are used to track positioning, let viewers watch the inhabitants of Jakku via hologram.

The company is already at work on consumer-facing projects that could accompany the studio’s next blockbuster films. So when Episode VIII of Star Wars hits theaters, according to Gaeta, there’s a very good chance it’ll arrive with a Holo-Cinema version that you’d pay through the nose to go see. But lets face it you definitely would. Look how cool it is!

It’s boring being an adult, look at how cool these toys are!! Big boys and our drone racing, drone flying, drone everything toys!! These crazy people are racing drones now!

Skilled pilots fly quad-copter drones through real life courses at speeds up to 120mph. The drones are custom built for speed, agility, and performance & these crazy son’s of naughty words are real life pilots! Steering from the point of view of the drone by wearing First Person View (FPV) goggles that display a live image transmitted by an onboard camera.

Flying a drone competitively at high speed in FPV is an intense, immersive experience.

I don’t know about you but I want a go NOW!

4K Blu Ray Gone!

Ever have something so good it got taken away before you could even have it? Well, it looks like this may be the case if things keep going the way they are! You boring lot you!

4K Blu Ray is the best visual/audio quality you can get for your home theatre. They look as good as they do in the cinema and they’re coming out in a few months but if the stats are to be accepted, it most likely will be ignored by you like that annoying ex thats really hot but also really crazy, so you got to stay strong! 

Now to watch these 4K films you may need to put down a lot of money for a shiny new player, which in reality you wont need as you can already stream content in 4K!

Digital out sold physical-media purchases last year, clocking in at $8.9 billion compared with $8 billion and streaming subscriptions jumped 20 percent to reach $5.7 billion.

Its a lot easier to stream 4K for the regular Joe like you or I, than it is to buy new hardware, and for the industry folk, 4K Blu Ray is a lot harder to pass through all the legal hoops, for 4K Blu Ray to go ahead, you have to get all of the format partners to get on board and then convince the studios to get on board and then convince us to buy new players. When you can stream with no problem whatsoever & it is already available! So I don’t even know why we’re having this discussion! 

One big problem with 4K streaming is that you need a solid internet connection (between 11Mbps and 15Mbps) to enjoy it today.

As history points out convenience always wins over quality when it comes to media formats. The unfortunate thing about 4K Blu-ray is that it lost the fight to streaming before it even arrived.

There’s another type of party that you can have down ‘there’!! – The Vaginal Soundsystem Babypod Lets Pregnant Women Rock Out With Their Foetuses!!

Apparently audio stimulation may help in foetuses develop in the womb & now theres a solution, that doesn’t involve stretching your expensive Beats around an expectant mother’s stomach.

Instead use the Babypod, its basically a tiny speaker with an aux jack at one end for your iPhone and a small bead speaker which goes, well you can guess where.

Babypod claims the clearer audio “stimulates the vocalisation of babies before birth through music and encourages their neural development.”

There’s no word on if there’s a male equivalent.
