New Liquid Pencils

Today, some people don’t like writing instead prefer use typing on a computer, which they find rather easy but for those who do like writing there is a good news. Now you don’t have to sharp your pencils and not even you have to load a lead in your clutch or mechanical pencils as Sharpie has come out with an interesting new pencil that mimics pens by being liquid.


These Sharpie pencils will allow for you to erase your work up to a certain point that is after it’s been sitting for over 3 days you won’t be able to erase it, similar to pens that can’t be erased. That will free your space of not caring an extra sharpener or extra leads, and no doubts it will look stylish if you use it. So say good bye to the old wooden and mechanical pencils and try these liquid pencils.

World's Largest Clock

People around the world especially Muslims are anxiously waiting for the time when the world's largest clock begins ticking in Islam's holiest city Makkah in Saudia Arabia. A test of three month will start in the month of Ramadan (Muslim’s calendar month), which begins today.


Each face will be emblazoned with "God is greatest" in Arabic language and fitted with thousands of colored lights and will be visible from more than 25 kilometers.

Saudi Arabia's state news agency says that the clock tower will be more than 600 meters high which is roughly six times the height of London's famous Big Ben. The tower is designed by German and Swiss engineers. The entire project costs will be $800 million.

The clock tower is part of the Abraj al-Bait hotel complex (situated in Makkah) and visitors will be able to stand on a terrace beneath the clock to have a view of the city.

Bulletstorm Developers Had To ‘Fight Console’s Lack Of Memory’

The Bulletstorm developers have revealed that they had problem with the console versions of Bulletstorm, due to their lack of memory.
“That’s the funniest thing. It’s not the console power that we’re fighting the most – it’s the memory. And it doesn’t matter if it’s PS3 or 360. It’s that we have so much content, we’re struggling to just fit it all in – like half a Gig of memory.” said People Can Fly boss Adrian Chmielarz during an interview with CVG.
“And then you minus the operating system and everything else and suddenly you’re left with: ‘What? One texture? What are you talking about?’”
Despite the struggle, PCF overcame the problems, and now all versions are about the same.
“Every day I see people playing on console, I ask if one of our team can show me the game on console and they’re like: ‘Erm, I’m playing on PS3, dude.’ The other guys play 360 – same thing.”
“We represent Epic and Unreal Engine with this game, so we better step up, right? We better do something cool with the visuals. It’s on and off: Sometimes we push PS3 when we want to reach a certain milestone, sometimes it’s 360, sometimes it’s just PC. It’s a mix of everything.”

Bulletstorm is set for a Q1 2011 release for the PS3, 360, and PC.

Gran Turismo 5 Still Not Complete

This is becoming a bit ridiculous. Gran Turismo 5 now in to it’s sixth year of development and Polyphony boss Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that the game is not done yet. He tweeted: “GT5 is getting to where it will be finished shortly.” The game is due to be released this November in the US and it’s really hard not to think that the game might be pushed back to 2011.

Thanks,
