The Most Exciting World of Avatars

These are the days of the computer and you hardly find kids playing with toys any more. They would rather prefer playing on the computer games that they can download via the internet. With even the schools teaching the kids the basics in computers it is no difficult task for them to play these online games and they start doing this from a very early age. Some of these online games are extremely educative and help the children with their hand eye co-ordination.

The internet presents children with a thousand varieties of online games that keep them so engrossed, thrilled and excited, because most of these games are so gripping and something that the kids look forward to during their free time. Of these online games the Ben 10 and the Avatar games are what catch the fancy of the young ones these days. The kids only have to visit the games sites and they have a fantastic list to choose from and it all depends on their interests and their skills and of course enough time to complete them. You will find that there are ever so many different characters and that they all have different stories to go with them. For example Ben 10 is a cartoon network show that tells the story of a boy called Ben who changes his form to various alien characters in order to fight evil.

Another game that has caught the frenzy of the kids is the Avatar games especially after the release of the movie Avatar. These games can be downloaded from various sites for a cost. Some sites even allow you to play the games for free till a certain level.

Released in December 2009, the Avatar game like the movies is set in the 22nd century on an alien planet known as Pandora, which has a poisonous atmosphere to human beings. So in the movie they create Avatars who are a mix of the humans and the Navis, the natives of Pandora. Even in the game you are taken to the planet called Pandora where you can choose to play either an Avatar or a Navi. This choice will decide the what route you will take in the game that has two different game plays based on which character you choose to become.

The animation in these games so good that the children get the feeling that everything they are doing in the game is so real, thanks to the ever improving technology that is ever innovative. The child is able to utilize and modify various weapons and can create their own characters that gain skills as they move forward in the game through the exciting foliage of the jungles with unfamiliar plants that really shock you with what they can do.

The Avatar is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo, Wii and of course on the PC.

Avatar's Trinity

I had the pleasure of seeing the movie "Avatar" today in glorious 3D. The beautiful cinematography is enough for me to recommend the movie to anyone. Reviewers have mistakenly depicted Avatar as a love story. It is clear that Avatar is a religious story.

James Cameron's follow up to the epic love story of "Titanic" is not another love story. The love between Jake Sully, and Neytiri is shallow. Neytiri never seems comfortable with Jake; who tends to suddenly collapse into unconsciousness as his remote brain is disconnected from his avatar's body. Jake's true love appears to be the spiritualism of the Na'vi, the native people of the planet Pandora.

Avatar is a Trinitarian religious story modeled after Christianity. The religion of the Nevi is a step up from "The Force" that the Jedi relied on in "Star Wars". The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each have their elementary counterparts in this film. The Na'vi's answer to Christianity's Holy Father Yahweh is Eywa, or Mother Nature. The Holy Spirit is depicted as a network of roots between the pious trees. Modest imagination was used to name it "The Spirit". Through prayer to Eywa, The Spirit is able to garner the cooperation of the native animals to provide a miraculous victory for the Na'vi.

Jesus, The Son, is present in the character of Jake Sully. Jake is immaculately reborn in the opening sequence from cryopreservation. He is taught the religion of the Na'vi, and converts from godless capitalism. His prayers to the Mother Eywa are answered by the The Spirit as he leads his disciples in the final battle for the planet. He is even resurrected after willingly offering his life for the chance to become his avatar.

For me, Avatar's trinity rings hollow compared to Christianity. Whether or not it sinks to the level of sacrilegious, I will defer to theologians. Mother Nature is less than a week's work for Yahweh (see Genesis), and Jake Sully is a far cry from Jesus. Still, if the spirituality of Avatar is enticing, you may find Christianity enthralling. It's coming soon to a church near you.

3D Television Buyers Guide

What You Need To Know About 3D TV

The release of 3D smash hits like Avatar has led many television manufacturers to begin producing 3D-ready television sets in order to enable them to watch movies in 3D at home. While the use of 3D technology in broadcast television is still in the planning stages, it is hoped that by 2015, 3D television technology will be widespread enough that most people will watch movies in 3D, especially blockbusters and documentaries where 3D technology is at its finest.

3D Ready Televisions
The first and most important thing to understand about a 3D ready TV is that it operates on the same mechanical principles as a standard flat-screen TV, only that it has the necessary processing power and upgrades for showing effectively two images at once, since this is how the 3D effect is created. Most people are familiar with traditional 3D setups as they experienced in the movies, which used colored or polarized glasses to allow each eye to see a different image, resulting in a 3D effect. However, the effect is limited because the glasses interfere either with the color or the position of the screen, meaning that the screen must be very large and very bright in order for the effect to work properly. This was not considered a problem in theatres, especially since it permitted the use of 3D glasses so cheap as to be disposable should theater patrons break them or take them home.

3D Ready TVs get around this problem by using very advanced and expensive glasses that use what is known as an "LCD shutter". This method basically allows the separate halves of the glasses to become completely opaque and completely transparent at an incredible rate, much higher than the human eye can detect. By syncing the glasses with the film, the 3D TV is then able to show the left eye an image, then the right one, and then the left again, so that the 3D effect can be generated. This means that the glasses are expensive, usually about seventy-five pounds or more each. Luckily, most 3D TVs come packaged with two or more glasses. Additional glasses may be purchased, and it is hoped that their price will decrease as more methods are found to reduce the cost.

This means that the television needs to be able to display images twice as fast as normal however, so it must be capable of rendering images at 120 frames per second as opposed to the 60 frames per second present in most TVs. This need to be extremely fast accounts for most of the increased cost of 3D TVs, of which even the cheapest costs two thousand pounds or more. It is hoped that these costs will go down as efficiencies of scale and improved technologies are developed.

High Definition 3D Televisions
The high speeds and qualities demanded by 3D TVs also mean that they require very high resolutions. All 3D TVs are inherently high definition, but the demands of 3D mean that they must be able to receive and display massive quantities of information through high-end cables such as HDMI or composite cables. Luckily, cables are one of the least expensive parts of any 3D setup, as almost all cables are of equal quality. The electrons that travel down a cable go at the same speed no matter what, so purchasing thicker or gold-coated cables has a minimal increase in quality.

It is also important to note that the immense amount of data in a 3D movie, since it has twice as many frames as a regular movie, means that 3D technology will be limited to high-density discs such as 3D Blu-Ray for the time being. It is hoped that advancements in science will allow for additional disc formats to be used, and many companies hope to one day be able to stream 3D movies directly to televisions using advanced transmission technologies. Anticipating this, almost all 3D televisions have some basic ways of connecting to the Internet, although currently this usually involves the use of peripherals.

Although 3D TV technology is currently in its infancy, Samsung, Panasonic, Phillips and LG have all begun the production of 3D TVs and their models are already widely available for purchase in high-end electronics shops. While these initial models will no doubt look primitive in a decade or so, they currently represent the finest that modern television technology has to offer. Most electronics companies have declared that 50% of their production and sales will be nothing but 3D TVs as soon as 2012, and the fact that 3D TVs are backwards compatible makes them highly desirable. Many movie studios are anticipating this demand by shooting their latest blockbuster releases with 3D cameras, ensuring that even early adopters will have lots of films to watch. With the entire summer of 2010 slated to come out in 3D, and Avatar already available in the format, even those who buy a 3D TV today will have plenty to watch.
