Camcorder Killer? Read on.

January 29, 2008 at 12:27 pm (Electronics)

Panasonic is releasing what may be the hottest HD camcorder to date. And it also takes pictures. Yes, that’s right. Panasonic’s Lumix TZ5 is a HD camcorder and a 9.1 megapixel camera rolled into one. With 10x Digital Zoom and a 720p high definition recorder, I’d say they have a winner in their hands. It will set you back 350$ but with that price comes a bevy of features including an optical image stabilizer, motion-sensitive ISO control and ever important in-camera red eye fixer. Visit Panasonic’s site for more information on the product. Commence drooling.

Want to create a super heroine? Why not now?

January 29, 2008 at 12:17 pm (Comics)

If you have been trying to get yourself into the world of comics and you have an awesome idea for a super heroine, look no further! Shadowline is hosting a competition where the lucky winner will have his/her character featured in a self-titled three issue mini-series. Franchesco, a well renowned artist in the Shadowline and Image company, will do the initial concept art/character design and pencil your book! For more information, I suggest heading over to the Shadowline main site. However, the first round requires you to e-mail in a brief one paragraph story summary for your character to superheroinecontest@gmail.com. Also, this needs to be done in about two days, so HURRY NOW. I wish I was creative enough to think of an original superhero but everything I think of just keeps treading back to familiar waters. Oh well.

Pick of the week!

January 29, 2008 at 1:13 am (Uncategorized)

This will be a weekly segment featuring what I believe to be THE pick for the multiple genres that I am interested in. So basically, you will be seeing four picks per week declaring what I, your beloved blogger, feel that you should be watching/reading/playing/using.

And so, I shall start out the week by providing you with what is hot hot hot!

Comics – This I guess is a no-brainer forĀ  those who are active in the comic world, but if you are not, then I highly suggest picking yourself up a copy of the massive crossover event called “The Messiah Complex” by Marvel. It features prominently the X-Men and it includes a diverse array of artists and writers and a storyline that pulls you in deeper and deeper as you go along. You will not regret it!

Movies – Currently, I’m kind of slouching when it comes to movies as I haven’t yet seen some of the more recent movies to come out so I will start out my pick for movies with one that is slightly old but a must see regardless. That movie is Sweeney Todd. Tim Burton has always shined (at least, for me, that is) when it comes to directing a movie and his latest doesn’t disappoint. Like many of his other movies, this film is dark, with music being a central focus in delivering the story. However, be prepared. Blood is in this movie. I’m talking gallons here folks. Copious amounts of it. So definitely not for the squeemish.

Games – Again, I’m also kind of slouching here too (what can I say, it was a busy winter) so I cannot give you the up to date pick for the game of the week. However, I can give you one that should be played asap and that game is Unreal Tournament 3. Sure, you might be saying, “But Clazzi-Flo, its just another FPS (First-Person Shooter) and yes, typically, I would agree with you. But UT3 has always held a special place in my heart for being a truly great FPS series. They constantly try to outdo themselves and UT3 has done just that. Not only does Epic Games ravage your eyes with their impressive visuals but the game handles smoothly and works exactly as a FPS should.

Electronics – Now that the format wars seem officially dead (never know but I’m just saying it how I see it), now would be a great time to grab yourself a Blu-ray player. Many companies offer them at a fair and competitive price and I believe we will only see them begin to drop now that it has become the go to format. Finally, you can stop from having to agonizingly choose between two formats and prepare to take a step into next generation.

Guten Tag! Jambo! Konbanwa! Ahnyung! Hello!

January 29, 2008 at 12:35 am (Uncategorized)

Welcome to the very exciting (at least to me it is :P ) and very new blog of Clazzi-Flo’s Entertainment Emporium! *applause

I am very anxious to start writing my own personal opinions of the very things that interest me the most and anticipating the feedback from you, Dear Reader! This Blog is my first real foray into the Blogging world so I will be taking things just a little slowly and safely until I get the hang of things. Then hopefully we can go from there and really take this thing places. I hope you come to enjoy my rantings and feel free to tell your friends about it!
