March 31st, 2008

Filed under: The Lowdown — NunoXEI @ 10:00 pm

If you like to stumble on random stuff out of the blue and you’re the kind of person that REALLY likes to dig around like a warthog in a grub fest then The Flype Club might and might NOT be for you. Nuno gives you the lowdown on the Flype Club with the help of two founding members “stevenswrong” and “mcgrory” (on Twitter). Find out about the origins, the tribulations and the plans for the future of the (not so secret) Flype Club.

post The Lowdown 011: Biodome of Montreal

March 25th, 2008

Filed under: The Lowdown — NunoXEI @ 10:00 pm

The Montreal Biodome is a facility located in Montreal that allows visitors to walk through replicas of four ecosystems found in the Americas. The building was originally constructed for the 1976 Olympic Games as a velodrome. You get to walk through a rainforest, a temperate forest, an estuary habitat, and the arctic and subarctic ecosystems; all of them carefully monitored to produce near-exact habitat conditions all year round. Nuno gives you the lowdown on an assortment of animals found during his visit to the Bidome in this video tour and review.

post The Lowdown 010: Ghostly Walks Tour of Victoria, BC

March 19th, 2008

Filed under: The Lowdown — NunoXEI @ 10:00 pm

While Nuno was on the west coast of Canada, in Victoria, BC he was lucky enough to tag along in a group of tourists, led by John Adams, renowned historian and researcher and host of the show Creepy Canada. Nuno joined the 9:30pm group which lasted for about an hour and a half. During a dozen tales or more about the chilling history of some of the areas surrounding the waterfront of Victoria, Nuno locked on to John Adams for the entirety of one of the tales. Nuno gives you the lowdown on the Ghostly Walks Tour of Victoria, BC with special guest John Adams who’ll present you with the tale of Bradey and Lady Churchill.

post The Lowdown 009: Subscribing to RSS

March 13th, 2008

Filed under: The Lowdown — NunoXEI @ 10:00 pm

It’s funny with the speed this world is moving at thanks to the internet and the torrent of new content ALWAYS out there and ready to be blogged about, shared through social networks or collected within social bookmarking web applications, something like getting content to come to you instead of you going to it still baffles people. Nuno gives you the lowdown on how to subscribe to RSS feeds using Webtertainment.tv as the base example (of course). Here’s the first Lowdown screencast and a test for future one to come. Hopefully my father, brother and girlfriend can learn something new after this one :) .

post The Lowdown 008: The Sex Museum

March 10th, 2008

Filed under: The Lowdown — NunoXEI @ 10:00 pm

I’ve studied art history and classical studies and so have seen my share of images and read plenty documentation on the views of sex throughout human history and culture, but nothing as blunt as The Sex Museum in Amsterdam can give in such a short amount of time. Nuno gives you on a quick lowdown of the sex museum, also known as The Venus Temple, and hopefully enlightens many out there to the very real notion of sex as an act of pleasure and not just an instinctual necessity to procreate.

post The Lowdown 007: Torture Museum

March 9th, 2008

Filed under: The Lowdown — NunoXEI @ 10:00 pm

Ever wonder where modern torture etiquette came from? Nuno gives you the lowdown on the Torture Museum in Amsterdam and in doing so highlights some of the old age devices that have thankfully gone out of practice today. At least we can all hope so, but really, who knows what goes on in the darker places of war and tyranny.

post The Lowdown 005: Order of the Stick Webcomic

March 3rd, 2008

Filed under: The Lowdown — NunoXEI @ 10:00 pm

I’ve been following Order of the Stick since it came out (albeit a few dozen behind at this point) and am nothing short of amazed at how much substance is actually in them from both a joke and a story perspective. It’s considered a must read for gamers, especially those who play Dungeons & Dragons. If you have a couple days (or weeks) I highly recommend starting from the beginning so that you can marvel at the outstanding amount of gaming geek humor Rich Burlew is capable of on a regular basis.
