This year has seen an unbelievable amount of geek-related media turned big screen masterpiece. The Dark Knight, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army (though I wouldn’t call this one a masterpiece) - most of which have earned their place in the top 250 films of all time, according to IMDB. Not to mention the big ones of the past; Transformers, V for Vendetta, Sin City and 300.

A lot of people have already been bagging this film, months before it has even come out. Mostly because of the casting choices and the CG daemons we see in the trailer that bare no relevance to the original game. Fair enough… but I personally can’t wait to see it. The trailer blew me away - and though I can’t see any logical reason why Ludacris would be cast in this film at all, let alone as Jim Bravura, I’m now 100% convinced that Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis can pull of Max Payne and Mona Sax respectively. As long as she doesn’t sound like Meg from Family Guy.

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been working on a contract job with Leighton Contractors, helping them style their new management system before it’s implementation and launch this coming Monday. During this time, I have been working closely with some of the lead developers of the system, and in doing so was introduced to this handy little tool called FireBug. Firebug is an add-on for Firefox 3 that allows you to not only view the core code and styles of a web-page, but temporarily alter them in real-time effectively allowing you to debug on the fly.
