As frankps sees the world!

I love writing about places that I visit, I guess just as much as the travel itself! In November I visited a friend of mine in Madrid before attending the annual Tech-Ed in Barcelona.

Lets start with the last one first, Kalandorok, it is made by the same people behind the classic Üvegtigris (2001 and Üvegtigris 2 – 2006). I hoped that they had found a great story, that I could really laugh from, but sadly […] Continue reading →

A Fox representative confirmed the rumor with “news travels fast”, and that the Blu-ray release currently was […] Continue reading →
