Next gen: #Fail

I’ve been a big advocate of the Xbox360. I’ve owned several, not suffered a RROD and played more games on my Xbox360 than on any other gaming platform I’ve ever owned (inc PC) thanks in no small part to trade-ins, ease of use and being able to play in my living room rather than tucked…

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Star Trek: Into Darkness

A current project for @gaminglives has swallowed 70+ hours of my free time recently and so I was kind of relieved to be offered the chance to go and see the new Star Trek movie with a mate instead of having another Groundhog Day style weekday.  Gods bless you, Orange Wednesday! I’ve not been to…

So how was your bank holiday weekend?

Well if I had to boil it down to the bare minimum, it’d basically be: got dumped and sunburned. I’m not going to go into the details of the dumping, mainly because it still preoccupies my mind and also because it was a private conversation between two people.  She had her reasons and you can’t…

Weddings: they ain’t all bad…

Okay, so maybe I was a little hasty about writing off weddings as nothing but an expensive party.  As it happens the wedding mentioned in my previous post was absolutely amazing. Not being a church wedding the ceremony was concise, well managed and intimate without the over-bearing religious message that tends to bore us folk…

Wedding Season.

That time of year has rolled around again and those getting in early weddings have had a harsh hand dealt to them by the weather. Tomorrow it is the turn of a family member to do the deed and although I’m looking forward to it the selfish part of me begrudges having to take two…

Bioshock Infinite

Bioshock Infinite. Good but not that good.

I accept that a lot of the time I may be a little more emotionally unattached than the average person and affinity with NPC characters is a rarity, the most recent one being Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2 – still to be topped. First person shooters are also not my preferred genre of choice but…

Going round...

Adventures of a Segway n00b.

Friends are fantastic really aren’t they? Especially when they serve up a little piece of geek heaven as a Christmas present. “But it’s March!”, I hear you cry. Well yes, but it wasn’t until recently that I was able to partake in my present: A Segway Experience. Yes that’s right, my awesome friends found somewhere…

New theme. Yes I cheated.

I’ve caved.  I’ve not developed this theme myself. But I rather liked the responsive nature and as such this theme will suffice until I decide what I truly want to do with my website. I intend to dissect the beast, learn how it operates and then implement similar functionality in the next theme I code…

Project WeightLoss

New year, new blog, new challenge. Seeing as how I spectacularly failed with my acheivement list last year, this year’s aim consists on one thing only. If I fail this then, well, I truly am hopelessly lost.
