hello
welcome to synae.

welcome to synae. it's been a long while in the making, and i'm just surprised it's not the pile of wank it could of been. students, games, music, reviews, drinking, movies, drinking movies, music, emo-bashing. it'll be epic.

do i know you?

maybe, maybe not. synae has been around before. now it's back, with css! and an address! ledge. you can find out what bunch of goons are making this car-crash of a blog here. or you could find us here.

what have you got?

good question. first, emo jokes, and in honesty that's all a good site needs. however, to fill the space inbetween, you'll find handy student guides, reviews, 'jokes', interviews, old stuff we dredged up from c:\, advertisements and other, undecided greatness. have it.

well
i guess you'd like something.

i heart videogames

Games are immense. Video games, card games, drinking games - all core to our lives. so we'll embarrass ourselves on guitar hero expert mode. we'll play poker until our eyes bleed. we'll scream 'fucky duzz' and reply, 'consume!'. all in the name of synae. immense!

don't drop the pod!

so i got a new one. yay! we'll do our best to cover new music, the odd festival and whatever else goes on in the music world.

11 lbs of movies

unfortunately, i have to work to supplement my student loan. i used to do this at a local cinema, and it's poor. now i write for this site, and do super IT support. isn't life grand?

mindless musings

the vague category. for when one of us wants to make fun of another, or to slam yet another social group. or glasgow chib jokes. it's going to be crazy, and i've got a semi already.

search

support us
it's not all free you know. want something from amazon? search for it here, buy it there. we both win, and it costs you nothing extra

or simply click the item title in any review entry. we genuinely appreciate it. you can find out more about this system here

css & user-agent
hoorah, we 'validate'. it's always nice when that happens. css is such fun to use, even if it renders in every browser *totally* differently.

so, play nice. follow these rules.

i've tried my hardest to make it cross-browser friendly, but if it implodes on yours, please e-mail me. i <3 the net.

notes
i'm quite a poor student as it happens, so if you perhaps want to offer me clothes or some kind of web developing gig, drop me a line.
