Regular readers may have noticed the blog turn into some kind of product shill over the weekend. “But how would we notice the difference” you cry? Everything is back up and running once again. The problem? Err, I didn’t pay the bill! My domain expired in the early hours of Sunday morning, and it [...]
It’s 12 of 12 day today, but I’m afraid I’m bowing out again this time. Why? Well to be honest, I did begin participating but I only really like to do them if I’ve got something worthwhile to bring. I’m sure people don’t want to see the same old pictures each month, here is my [...]
Before the event of this current generation of happy, shiny HD consoles and their 60fps DD5.1 gaming goodness I used to play quite a lot of PC games. I had a regular supply of relatively inexpensive, high end PC equipment and could usually play everything with the detail turned up to eleven. These days, things [...]
This post is something of a departure for me. It’s not about a videogame, a movie, a TV show or any kind of visual feast in either high or standard definition. But it’s about a topic that has been floating around my head for some time now, and that’s weight. Have you ever sat down [...]
My apologies for neglecting blog duties recently, I’m finding there aren’t enough hours in the day to fit everything in and the blog is the last thing on my mind right now. A rather bad spell of writers block has also been upon me of late, and sods law will, naturally, dictate that I get [...]
There you are, photographic proof that the Legendary Edition “cat helmet” is in actual fact larger than your average cat. It may perhaps fit a small lion cub, but I’m not going to test out that theory. In other news, I’ve played around twenty minutes of Halo 3 so far and…it’s Halo! It looks better, [...]
I’m at home today, waiting for my copy of Halo 3. After an unexpected (but very welcome) rebate from the gas and electricity people I decided to splash out and secured the Legendary Edition (aka the one with the cat helmet). I’m cursing my own stupidity for not having it sent to Sally’s work, and [...]
We were up in Southampton this morning, an unexpected visit but we did manage to complete 85% of our Christmas present shopping in the space of around ten minutes (children getting older+gift card=problem solved). After kicking back in the excellent new Pret A Manger and enjoying a double hit latte, we wandered into the Apple [...]
If you live in America, next Tuesday brings you probably the largest day in videogame entertainment history: Halo 3 launch day. Our friends across the pond haven’t been able to move for the last few months without seeing an image of Master Chief emblazoned across anything with a surface large enough for his armour-clad persona. [...]
Shoot ‘Em Up is quite possibly the most intentionally ridiculous movie I have ever seen. Ninety minutes of sheer, unadulterated nonsense that won’t enrich your life in any way, shape or form. As a fan of trashy action movies, I absolutely loved it. This is not a film that is grounded in any kind of [...]
