A Home For My Head

Console Wars! Everybody knows about the disastrous Xbox one launch & Microsoft has got a lot of bad rep for all the mistakes it made back then. Now the unusual mid generation console upgrades are here for the first time. Tables are seemingly turned this time around as Sony is the one whose PlayStation Pro has come under some criticism for not packing enough punch in its hood, while Xbox One X now looks as if it has made all the right moves and is definitely a lot more powerful & capable than Pro. Will it actually matter now? Is it actually gonna help make Xbox get back up & compete with Sony at the top, or is it bound to be a case of too little too late for the American Giant. I think it might me the later & Sony does not have much to worry about & was actually right to have not upgraded their original model extensively. Here are the reasons Sony doesn't have to worry about Xbox One X: The Price: Xbox One X is priced $500 while PlayStation Pro is $10...

Cristiano Ronaldo just won the 'Fifa Best' award yesterday after scoring his least number of goals in a La Liga season i.e. one worse than his debut season with 'just' 25 goals, made his lowest no. of appearances in a La Liga season at just 29 matches, had just two goals in the champions league uptill the quaterfinals, & despite that he was the undisputed best of the 2016-17 season. The Best With Zinedine Zidane resting the Portugese legend on quite a few occations at the tail end of last season, he was in prime condition for the 'Big Matches', & boy oh boy did he performed in those matches. He was an absolute monster in the latter stages of the Champions League scoring a mind boggling, record breaking, & unparalleled 10 goals in the knockout rounds of the greatest club football competition. Man did he turn up for matches against Atletico, Bayern, & Juventus. It all started against the mighty Bayern at the Alianz Arena where the most pla...

If you take a look at the little 'about me' widget located on the sidebar of this blog, you will read me announcing that I am a DC fan, so does it automatically mean I absolutely hate Marvel and anything Marvel related, HELL NO! I absolutely love Spiderman, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Deadpool to name a few Marvel characters. I use to watch almost all of their movies till about the Avengers came out, then I started skipping almost all of the MCU movies until Homecoming came out, cuz gots to watch Spidey! In between I also saw all  the X-Men movies including Deadpool. I am talking about going to the Movie theater at this point as I have seen almost all of the MCU movies at some point or the other with the exception of Thor 2 and Dr. Strange. So what gives why can't we all just take the high road and love all the great characters, stop being fanboys, stop trolling or debating on the Internet and just enjoying the great age of comic book movies in peace. Wel...

In February 2012 I hooked up my brand new mint ps3 to the TV & started playing one of the greatest games ever made: Uncharted 2 (Courtesy of Mr. FullPawar who lent me the game) fully intent on burning through the story mode as fast as I can, while enjoying the story but not sparing a second thought on collectibles or trying different weapons or anything but in the middle of the game I heard a sound "plink!", turns out without even knowing I had earned a PSN trophy, a bronze one called 'Cadet Fortune Hunter', I wasn't sure what to make of it first it was a digital accomplishment more like a Facebook 'like' not anything real, right? Little did I know that little trophy will completely change the way I played games suddenly what used to be a sprint from starting a game till completing its story mode became a project, a project that gave me a whole lot more satisfaction than just seeing the end credits roll, getting that elusive Platinum became the driv...

Ever since that fateful night in Istanbul in May 2005 when Liverpool made the greatest comeback in Champions League history on the biggest occasion possible: The Champions League Final, they have not managed to rise to the heavy-hitting nametag of a European giant that carry around with them. Over the last decade or so they have been more often found languishing in a battle for the top four or worse, rather than challenging for the title in England, & have not been in the knockout stage of the Champions League since 2008-09 Season. That is definitely not a rosy picture for Liverpool.  While their great rivals Manchester United themselves have hit some turbulence over the last few seasons after Legendary Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, but to just say they have fared better than their arch rivals would be an understatement. They have won more trophies during the last season, where they were supposedly rebuilding , than Liverpool over the last decade! Amazing, right? I...

If you have a look at the current position of DC comics and the content that it is putting out be it Comic books, animated movies, TV shows, video games, or whatever else they are making you would believe  that it is basically a brand of Batman & Others, while the recent Wonder Woman movie ( that is by the way first movie ever for a 75 year old character ) has given some of long due spotlight to her, the fact remains that in last decade DC Comics has become so focused on The Dark Knight that the Superhero that started it all in Action Comic #1 in June 1938  i.e. Superman  has been forced to take a backseat. It is not just that publishers are doing it on purpose why would they want one of their very few truly great characters to suffer? Fans  (haters?) are too responsible for shifting the focus off superman as they regularly moan, complain, & criticize dear old Supes.  So let me quash some of the criticism  that is being thrown towards Superman and...

Real Madrid decided to let their second choice Right Back Danilo leave for Machester City during the summer, & instead of signing a experienced replacement decided to promote their own youth product Achraf Hakimi to plug in the gap left by Danilo. Now two week ago, Carvajal was diagnosed with viral pericardium infection & due to the uncertain nature of his injury, Zinedine Zidane faces a problem on how to deal with Carvajal's absence, here are the 5 ways Zidane can fill the void left by Carvajal's injury: 1. Trust Achraf Hakimi This is exactly what Zidane did during the match against Espanyol that was the first & only match Real have played since Carvajal injured himself against Dortmund. The youngster to his credit performed admirably considering that this was his Official Debut, but he is still only 18 years old and to expect him to fill in for Dani & playing at times three games in 8-9 days maybe to much too ask & may lead him to burning ou...
