Marvel: Super Hero Squad Online - Game Review

If you haven't seen or played the game Marvel Super Hero Squad Online then I advise you to play it. Okay, the characters of the game are all SD or Super Deformed. Super Deforming the characters made them look funnier and cute. Usually, SD is done with some anime to make a funny story like the Full Metal Alchemist SD I've seen before. Even Gundam SD was made fun and at the same time cute but that is totally a different story.

Let us focus on Marvel Super Hero Squad Online or MSHSO. The game was based on its animated cartoon show version. I've seen a few episodes while watching with my son and I can't help but laugh. It's funny and also hilarious and that was probably the reason it had a great impact on kids and kids at heart as well. It was also the reason I use it as a theme on my son's 6th birthday.

Fix Firefox Search Hijacker

Have you had an experience where you are trying to browse something and then suddenly your Firefox browser redirects you to a different URL? Whenever you make a search or you misspelled a URL, it redirects you to another URL. This usually happens when a user installs a plug-in for Firefox which hijacks every searched keywords the user uses. This plugin is a hijacker application. You don't need to worry because it is not worst as it seems though when not properly handled it may harm your computer when you continue to browse with this issue still on hand. It's best to fix it before it gets worst. Here are some of the hijackers I've encountered:

Yahoo - keeps on hijacking my misspelled URL and redirects me to their website for hosting purposes. 

Hotspot Shield - is quite random, sometimes you are on a trusted website and then when you click on a picture you are suddenly sent to search of hotspot shield.

It is very easy to fix and there are no need to install any other application. Just follow these steps:
  1. Open a new tab on your Firebox browser.
  2. Type about:config
  3. On the search box, type keyword.URL
  4. Once you found what you are looking for, right-click on the item and choose Reset.
  5. Now enjoy your browsing once again.
Hope this helps your problem.

Bastion: Game Review

Bastion is an RPG game made by Supergiant Games. It is a great RPG game however for me it lacks charisma maybe it is because of what the team Blizzard (Diablo creator) have set as a new standard for RPG games. I've played it for awhile but unable to make a review. So now here is my review for the game.

Graphics was stunningly designed. You can see their artists' love to the game by the quality and detail of the doodads and characters in the game. I must admit that this game inspired me to make a new blog for game reviews only because of the game's art. I love the way they have designed everything.

Media Player and Codecs

Watching movies and TV series is one of my daily habits. I've tried a lot of media players out there like the free media player from K-Lite media player, Windows media player from windows and even the bundled media player application from purchased DVD drives or bundled media player on purchased computers but VLC Media Player is the best one that suit all my media viewing.

VLC media player is a freeware application for viewing movies. It can view most of the standard video formats and is very easy to use. For more viewing pleasure and more movie format options, you can also install the codecs packed with K-Lite codec pack which is also a freeware application. For anime lovers, this will be helpful since a lot of subbers prefer to use a codec that has a much compressed image to make the file smaller but has the same or even higher image quality.
