I just made a vehicle that's basically a big blue block of a tank, that shoots eggs out of two mounted guns on the front. I attatched balloons to the top and sides of the vehicle and stuck some propellors on the back, so that I can fly it around like a zeppellin. And then when I press a button, the shell of the vehicle breaks into two side parts which drop off as the inside of the vehicle drops out, essetially transforming it into a really fast car. Once I find some springs, I'm going to create another version where the shell of the vehicle is just one piece on the top and attatch the springs to the top of the inner car, so that i can drive along, release the shell and then shoot it off behind me as I speed away like some kind of raggedy ass Spyhunter shit. I am having too much fun to actually progress in the fucking game.

There's your fucking Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts review.... read more

de Blob, Australian developer Bluetongue’s third Wii title, appeals to this innate love of all things messy. The city of Chroma has been sucked dry of colour by the evil INKT Corporation. You, Blob, and your gang of revolutionaries must overthrow the evil empire and bring rainbow shades back to the world. How? Paint, of course!

The city itself, divided into 10 or so regions, lays waiting in monochrome. The buildings, landmarks, trees and even the Raydians (the people of Chroma) have been washed clean of any tone or colour. As Blob, the sole remaining denizen with the ability to spread paint, you must re... read more

OK.. that's a lie. I tolerate Facebook. A little bit of me likes 'updating my status' so I can let everyone know on a daily basis just exactly what is pissing me off. Another bit of me likes looking at pictures of other people's friends - to remind myself of what fun means outside of my chariot of hamshankery. The rest of the time, I just feel like a fanny for using it.

However, up until a few months ago, Facebook had never managed to insult me. For all its SQL cubes, fancy pants design and lovely lovely AJAX, it still hadn't managed to find a way to specifically offend me. That is, until target advertising found it's way onto my profile!

I'm all for targeted advertising. I mean, if I claim to like a certain band, then it makes sense for me to get adverts about that band, or perhaps bands on the same label. Relatively inoffensive, simple things.

What I'm not particularly enamoured with is when Facebook somewhat bruntly asks: ... read more

Because Haikou, Hainan Province, was the first relay location in China, the busload of uniformed runners attracted quite a bit of attention. “When we were having lunch, all of a sudden people saw us and said, ‘Can I touch your torch?’ I said, ‘Of course you can touch it. In fact, you can hold it.’

The Xbox 360 conference @ E3 just finished on the bombshell that Final Fantasy XIII, the PS3 game, is going for simulataneous release with the PS3 versions in EU and NA!

Sweet Baby Jesus!

And I was going to buy a PS3 this month as well. Thank Christ I didn't bother!... read more
