It’s time yet again for 12 of 12, creation of Mr Chad Darnell. Be sure to visit his site and check out the photos from everyone else all over the world. This months 12 of 12 is a very late in the day, last minute affair I’ve cobbled together because up until late this afternoon [...]
Time for 12 of 12 once again, the now five year old creation of Chad Darnell. As I know photos around Britain always go down well with my fellow 12′ers I’ve got a complete set this month from a beautiful National Trust site called Mottisfont. I’ll keep the chat light this month and let the [...]
Before Michael Bay spent a gazillion dollars on the Transformers franchise he made a series of somewhat clichéd action movies, but the one that has always stuck out for me is Bad Boys (his first feature film).

It’s 12 of 12 time yet again, the creation of the great Chad Darnell. For the last couple of months I’ve been a “gentleman of leisure” or as I like to call it, a “jobless waster”. But I am back to work again now on a new six month contract and the employer is in [...]
Earlier this week I wrote a post regarding my experiences (which are one hundred perfect stellar) with Splinter Cell Conviction. Since writing the post I have been continually playing through the multiplayer modes such as Hunter (take down enemies, which multiply if you set off alarms) and currently the DLC mode Infiltration. Which is like [...]
If I were going to choose one piece of music to sum up my experiences since leaving my last contract at the end of February, it would most likely be Too Months Off by Underworld. Firstly because it’s a great slice of electro wonderfulness, and secondly because that’s precisely what I’ve had. It also has [...]
If certain web forum trends are to be believed then once every few years people who play videogames a lot (or have done for a long time) usually tend to go through an occasional “why do I do this?” phase. Of course I’m no expert on this particular subject, or any other for that matter, [...]
