There is something about open world games that just keep me coming back for more, and more and more until I either complete them or collapse into a sleep deprived coma vowing not to get sucked in again. In the years since GTA San Andreas I have sunk countless hours into The Godfather (completing to [...]

One of the nice things about getting random movies sent to you for review (apart from not paying for them, obviously) is that sometimes you get sent a movie you have never seen nor heard of. Case in point, The Death & Life of Bobby Z. A quick search on IMDB revealed a [...]

Back in the 80s, Arnold Schwarzenegger ruled the action movie roost with an iron hand. Every year Hollywood would spit out another no brainer action flick and Arnie would be at the helm kicking ass and taking names. Yes he always played exactly the same part but who doesn’t love the grandiose nonsense [...]

The third Resident Evil movie is something of an oddity in many ways. In terms of quality (i.e. how good the film is) I would say it’s second in the trilogy. The first movie remains the best, the second is still an over-pumped MTV video and this third one is a definite improvement [...]

NOTE: I am reviewing the US Blu-ray release of I Am Legend. The disc is region free and can be purchased from Movietyme. The UK version will be released on the 21st April.
Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel I Am Legend has certainly got some legs. This new version starring Will Smith is the [...]

We’ve just recently got back from Brighton, got there early to avoid the rush hour traffic and left early to do the same again. After 12 of 12 and other larks just recently I couldn’t be bothered to take any pictures around the town itself. It’s as great as it ever was, that is all.
But [...]

It’s 12 of 12 time once again, this month was supposed to be centred around our day trip to Brighton but after only three hours sleep I wasn’t going to get up at 5am to beat the rush hour traffic, so it’s around and about the usual places today. Brighton is still on for [...]

Once a year a local landowner (read: Many years ago an ancestor stuck a big fence around a piece of land and said “I’m having this”) named George Meyrick opens up his gardens to the public with the proceeds going to help local charities.
Having just been down to the Christchurch Food Festival we needed to [...]

A friendly reminder for frequenters who always forget, tomorrow is 12 of 12 day. We’re heading down to Brighton for the day (weather permitting) and I’ll be participating this month. Having just typed that it has clouded over, hopefully not an omen for tomorrow.

That’s the time on my in-game clock in GTA IV and the symbol of the story mode now being complete. I have never devoted quite so much time to a videogame in all the years I have been playing them, and quite frankly I am staggered at how those hours flew past.
I completed the game [...]

A small update following on from my post yesterday, I take my hat off to Kef who e-mailed me within an hour of contacting them yesterday regarding my buzzing subwoofer. Movement Audio who supplied the speakers are able to repair it for £80, which still made me wince but the price of a new sub [...]

Panasonic Unleash Blu-ray Spinner
Things have been a little quiet on the Blu-ray front just recently. Now that HD DVD is a dim and distant memory (except for those of us who bought the players and a ton of cheap movies) news relating to new players and titles has been a little thin on the ground.
But [...]

Facebook used to be great, really great. Like many social networking sites it started out as a way to meet up with old friends, share information and generally have fun.
Then popularity hit and that’s when the crap came. A huge torrent of the stuff, and every morning I would check my e-mail and find that [...]

I thought it was about time I wrote a proper post, so here we are. Just an update with what I’ve been doing recently.
Work
I’ve been doing a lot of work with Windows Server 2008, and completed exam 70-647 a couple of weeks ago which means I am now a (deep breath) Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Enterprise [...]

Great photos! I love seeing photos of the UK. 
So many pictures of food! My stomach is grumbling. Must go find breakfast. 
The coffee was worth the suffering, I nearly PAID for a Coffee Republic coffee in Brighton yesterday, but didn't.
I'm glad ...
Loved the shot of the Isle of Wight but those ribs looked vile! Just torn from the animal nasty. ...
Can i just say my legs in shorts are an acquired taste.... :-)
But the coffee was worth it the suffering ...
