L. A . Noire PC First Look




Ever since L.A. Noire came out for the XBOX a few months back this action adventure game with a difference has been making waves.Since the days of GTA 3, Rockstar Games has been the master of open world action adventures.Add to that the film noir style that Rockstar put into its other masterpiece Max Payne ,and you get L.A. Noire.It has the open world awesomeness of San Andreas and the Hollywood style storytelling of Max Payne.
So , saying that I was looking forward to L.A. Noire being ported to the PC would be an understatement , I was actually praying for it.It finally happened , and L.A. Noire PC came out just a few weeks back , in November , almost 6 months after the XBOX version.

Facebook spam and those who play along



Recently Facebook was hit by a wave of  spam in the form of image shares depicting porn , animal abuse and even photoshopped celebrities.The hacker group Anonymous was initially linked with this spam attack as they had previously made known their intention to hack into facebook. However , they are denying it , and as of now no link can be established that ties them to this spam attack.

That , however isn't why i decided to write about it. What irked me most was how many "concerned " netizens were actually passing some of these shares along in the name of "creating social awareness".

The Best George Best Quotes


My Top 10 George Best quotes :

"If I'd been born ugly, you would have never heard of Pele " .This was what George Best had to say about Pele who had hailed him ( Best ) as the best footballer in the world.
George was almost as famous for his witty comments as he was for his football , and his off field antics.

Here are some of his best quotes, and a few about him.


10) "I spent 90% of my money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."


9) "I was in for 10 hours and 40 pints - beating my previous record by 20 minutes." George Best, on the blood transfusion after his liver transplant

R.I.P. George Best , 22 May 1946 – 25 November 2005



Rock music and Manchester United Football Club are two of my favorite things in the world . Add to that an unhealthy fascination with all things Irish , and this article  almost wrote itself , on this 25th of November.


“Boss, I think I’ve found you a genius"

These words spoken by United scout Bob Bishop to then manager Matt Busby have since then become a part of legend.
George Best , arguably the best footballer to ever play the game , and without a doubt the most talented ever from the British Isles , passed away on this very day five years ago.
