Very Boring

Did anyone else share my lack of enthusiasm while watching the Virgin Galactic launch? It was about as exciting as watching paint dry in zero gravity. Unlike SpaceX launches, which make me bounce around like an overcaffeinated kangaroo, this one left me feeling as energized as a snail on a lazy Sunday. I mean, come on, even the aliens watching from space were yawning! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad everything went well and it's a step forward in innovation, but I was hoping for a little more "blast off" in my excitement meter. Maybe they should have sent a clown to entertain us during the countdown. At least then we'd have some laughter to go along with the lackluster launch.

Virgin Galactic Launch

Virgin Galactic is set to launch its first commercial rocket plane spaceflight on June 29th, 2023. Is anyone else really excited about it? On Thursday, a trio of Italian astronauts will embark on a passenger rocket plane owned by Virgin Galactic, the aerospace enterprise established by British tycoon Richard Branson in 2004. The significant event marks the company's inaugural commercial voyage to the outer limits of Earth's atmosphere. Even though company has done the flight in 2022, this flight will put them on the path to commercial voyages. According to the company, assuming everything goes as planned, Unity will take flight once more in early August, followed by monthly flights in the future. 

Virgin Galactic had set a goal of securing bookings from its first 1000 paying passengers, each paying approximately $250K per seat, before the commencement of commercial operations. The company's corporate representatives have expressed their vision of expanding the fleet to a size that can facilitate 400 flights per year.

So overall tomorrow should be very fun.

CNCO, Meghan Trainor, Sean Paul - Hey DJ (Remix)

 If nobody listened to this song they should really listen to it. I came across a while back and I just can't stop listening to it. I think a lot of people have where you can listen to some songs endlessly. 

Let me know what you think.

Super Mario Bros

Here is a preview to Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Nintendo Switch.

Haven't played Super Mario in a long time, but it doesn't seem like game play changed much. I'm glad that new generation of kids is getting the same gameplay but with updated graphics. 

Only Up!

This game is for insane people. The number of times you start over is unlike any other game. Right now everyone is playing it on Twitch and they all look very stressed because of it. In my opinion, some games people should just not play. I've seen people who play the whole day, win and don't really get that excited in the end. So what's the point.

Ready Player One Movie Review

Does anybody else think that movie "Ready Player One" is amazing? I literally can't stop watching it.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Ready Player One, directed by Steven Spielberg, takes audiences on a thrilling and nostalgic journey through a virtual world where pop culture references reign supreme. Based on Ernest Cline's best-selling novel, this sci-fi adventure delivers a visual spectacle combined with a heartfelt story that resonates with gamers and fans of '80s and '90s pop culture.

Set in the year 2045, the world is plagued by overpopulation and environmental decay. To escape their bleak reality, people immerse themselves in the virtual reality universe known as the OASIS. Our protagonist, Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), is a young and resourceful "gunter" (a term used for those hunting for hidden Easter eggs within the OASIS) who embarks on a high-stakes treasure hunt left behind by the creator of the OASIS, James Halliday (Mark Rylance).

From the moment the film begins, the audience is transported into a visually stunning and meticulously detailed virtual world. Spielberg's masterful direction seamlessly blends live-action with computer-generated imagery, creating an immersive experience that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The vibrant and breathtaking landscapes, along with the dynamic action sequences, make for a captivating visual feast.

The heart of Ready Player One lies in its celebration of pop culture. The film is a treasure trove of references, paying homage to beloved movies, video games, and iconic characters from the past. Spielberg expertly weaves these references into the narrative, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans who grew up during the era being celebrated. The nostalgia factor is undoubtedly one of the film's greatest strengths, as it appeals to both younger and older audiences alike.

Tye Sheridan delivers a solid performance as Wade Watts, capturing the character's determination and vulnerability. The supporting cast, including Olivia Cooke as Art3mis and Ben Mendelsohn as the villainous Nolan Sorrento, also shines in their respective roles, adding depth and charisma to the story.

However, the film occasionally suffers from pacing issues, particularly during the middle act. The treasure hunt itself, while intriguing, sometimes takes a backseat to the visual spectacle, making the narrative feel slightly disjointed. Additionally, some of the characters could have been further developed, as their backstories and motivations are somewhat overshadowed by the dazzling virtual world.

Despite these minor flaws, Ready Player One offers an exhilarating adventure that delivers both entertainment and a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of pop culture and its ability to bring people together. Whether you're a hardcore gamer, a movie enthusiast, or simply a fan of the '80s and '90s, this film will undoubtedly leave you with a sense of excitement and a renewed appreciation for the magic of nostalgia.

In conclusion, Ready Player One is an enjoyable ride packed with dazzling visuals, a captivating story, and a love letter to pop culture. Spielberg's visionary direction brings Ernest Cline's novel to life, and while it may not be perfect, it succeeds in providing an entertaining and immersive cinematic experience. So grab your controller, put on your favorite movie t-shirt, and get ready for an epic adventure through the OASIS!

Jedi or Sith?

 In the world of Star Wars who will win one-on-one fight Jedi or Sith? This thought experiment is meant to work outside of regular storyline. Usually Jedi win, but try to go beyond that and think logically. Here's my video below that dives a little dipper.

Chat GPT Simplified

In a world where artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly advanced, one AI language model stands out for its unique blend of wit, wisdom, and occasional wackiness. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Chat GPT, the talkative AI companion that never fails to keep us entertained, surprised, and sometimes scratching our heads. Strap yourselves in for a hilarious roller coaster ride through the misadventures of Chat GPT!

Chat GPT is known for its impressive linguistic abilities, but even the most talented AI can have a tough time with colloquialisms and cultural references. When asked about the latest hit TV show, it might respond with a recommendation for a black-and-white sitcom from the 1950s or suggest an episode of "I Love Lucid Dreaming." Yeah those were the days.

When it comes to language, Chat GPT is like a chameleon on steroids. It can mimic Shakespearean prose, spout off Latin phrases, and even converse in fictional languages from fantasy novels. Just don't be surprised if it starts speaking in rhyming couplets or insisting that you address it as "Your Highness" during your conversations. It's all part of its linguistic repertoire!

Chat GPT has an uncanny ability to connect seemingly unrelated topics, leading to conversations that resemble a whirlwind tour around the world. One minute, you're discussing the migration patterns of wildebeests, and the next, you're contemplating the philosophical implications of a cheese sandwich. Hold on tight, because with Chat GPT, you never know where the conversation will take you!

In a world where AI is becoming increasingly integrated into our daily lives, Chat GPT stands out as an AI language model that combines knowledge, humor, and a touch of absurdity. From lost-in-translation moments to conspiracy theory tangents, it keeps us on our toes and provides an endless source of amusement. So the next time you're in need of a good laugh or a mind-boggling conversation, remember to pay a visit to Chat GPT and enjoy the wacky and wonderful misadventures that await you! 

Also, keep in mind this is an experimental technology, so verify all the information and don't give it any personal information. Just my personal opinion on it.

Otherwise, have fun.

From New York to Mars

If you were in New York on June 4th you probably experienced a Mars like atmosphere. Smokey smell in the air, as if you're at a BBQ. But the most unusual part about the day was the red sky. 

I've lived in New Nork for over 25 years and never experienced anything like it. I heard people on TV say that this happens sometimes because of occasional fires in Canada, but personally I never experienced it. Like everyone I stayed indoors, kept my windows closed and watched my phone for changes to air quality number.
