Michael Joseph Jackson is dead

Michael Jackson - Date of Death 25 June 2009, Los Angeles, California, USA

Michael Jackson, who died today at 50 years, the music world through the 1980s, selling millions of records and concert tickets and dubbing himself the “King of Pop”. And while Michael Jackson won several times in such popularity contests as American Music Awards and MTV Awards, for his music and movies. He have got good and bad reputation for diffrent things he have done in his life. I still remember when his album Thriller come out and I loved the video. What ever ppl will say about his life, I still loved his music.

American superstar Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana in 1958 and has been entertaining audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joseph Jackson, had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Katherine (Scruse). Together they prodded their growing family’s musical interests at home. By the early 60s the older boys Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964 Michael and Marlon had joined in.

A musical prodigy, Michael’s singing and dancing talents were amazingly mature and he soon became the dominant voice and focus of “The Jackson 5.” An opening act for such soul groups as the O-Jays and James Brown, it was Gladys Knight (not Diana Ross) who officially brought the group to Berry Gordy’s attention, and by 1969 the boys were producing back-to-back chartbusting hits as Motown artists. As a product of the 70s, the boys had emerged as one of the most accomplished black pop/soul vocal groups in music history, successfully evolving from a Temptations-like group act to a disco phenomenon.

Solo success for Michael was inevitable, and by the 80s he had become infinitely more popular than his brotherly group. Record sales consistently orbited, culminating in the biggest-selling album of all time, “Thriller.” A TV natural, he ventured rather uneasily into films, such as playing the Scarecrow in The Wiz (1978), but had better luck with elaborate music videos. In the 90s the down side as an 80s pop phenomenon began to show.

The 25 June 2009, in Los Angeles, California, USA; The 911 call came in at 12:21PM at his Holmby Hills home in L.A. The ambulance picked up Michael Jackson from his home when he got a cardiac arrest and that paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance … and it was looking bad. The hospital were unable to revive him, when Michael Jackson arrived at the hospital he had no pulse and they never got a pulse back. Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.

He died at age 50. Even if he had a hard life, done way to many operations or all the things ppl looks at and dislike him, his music was something awesome. He was a great music artist and had not many tracks that ppl didn’t love. You can’t never take that away from him. I will play his music under my show tomorrow in a memory of him, good or bad, I like his music.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game

June 21st, 2009  / Author: TaxiGirl

If we had to describe Ghostbusters: The Video Game in one word, that word would be ‘authentic’. If given the liberty of a couple more, the next one would be ‘hilarious’, and we’d follow that up with a ‘fangasm’ chaser. Ghostbusters is great. It’s not great in a ‘holy hell these mechanics are so inventive and this gameplay is so perfectly balanced’ kind of way, as truth be told, the moment to moment gameplay is the weakest thing about the game. No, it’s great in a ‘I can’t believed they nailed the feel of rolling with the Ghostbusters. I’m hanging with Bill Murray!’ kind of way. Simply put, this game will change the way you think about licensed titles.

The team at Terminal Reality really has gone to great lengths to make this a proper Ghostbusters game. Importantly, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis were involved from very early on, and wrote the script and dialogue, treating this as a third Ghostbusters film (never mind that a third one is now underway). Thus, the events in the game are significant, and take place in 1991, a year or so after Vigo is defeated at the end of Ghostbusters 2, and the whole thing just feels… right. You join the Ghostbusters as a new recruit, and your whole job is basically to kick butt while listening to hilarious banter between the rest of the team. This is all about being part of the Ghostbusters, so you’ll rarely be on your own. Not only is the dialogue great, but there’s nothing quite like three or four Ghostbusters all firing up their Proton Packs; streams pulsing, sparks flying, collateral damage mounting, all to wrangle an ectoplasmic entity.

Speaking of collateral damage, Terminal Reality built an excellent engine for this title, and its focus is squarely on physics. This isn’t the prettiest game ever (although it does run at 1080p which is nice), but the powerful physics engine is crucial to the action feeling authentic. It just wouldn’t be Ghostbusters without the ability to absolutely level the ballroom of the Sedgewick Hotel, for instance. What fun would it be if you didn’t leave scorched trails all over the walls as you tried to track Slimer? What fun would it be if the tablecloths didn’t burn up in an instant? What fun would it be if you couldn’t smash the chandelier and the grand piano, or pick up a table with your Proton Pack and wrench it across the room, shattering it into splinters? Huge numbers of objects in this world are destructible, and it really adds to the chaos and fun.

Of course, the physics aren’t just about collateral damage – it has also allowed the team to build the mood, with objects floating in the air, or books arranging themselves into stacks. It means that as you watch Stay Puft stomp past you from inside a Manhattan office block, the windows dynamically shatter from the thud of every step. On top of that, many of the enemies are golems – comprised of dozens of smaller objects, such as a lumbering beast with a body of swirling books and a lamp bulb head. Each blast from your Proton Pack dislodges books until you’ve worn it down enough to target and rip off its head with your capture stream, showering the floor with (now) inanimate tomes.
