Basement Cinema: Bulb Change
Two updates in one week, things are moving along quicker than ever! The new bulb arrived really quickly (thanks to CP Lighting) so I fitted it straight away to see if there was a difference.
Final Fantasy XIII Elixir unboxing
It’s almost becoming something of a tradition for Square Enix to release a licensed energy drink around the time a new Final Fantasy game comes out, so it’s no surprise to anyone that Suntory-licensed FFXIII drinks are currently available. What did catch my eye was this funky box on sale in the 7-11, containing both [...]
The Japan 2009 Stash!
Every year I push my suitcase to the absolute limit on the way home from Japan, filling every available bit of space with awesomeness from the land of the rising sun. This year I think I did particularly well!
Eurogamer Expo Leeds 2009 Photos
Today, three geeks desecended upon Leeds for a day of awesome gaming. This is their story.
Virtual On Twin Stick Project – Worklog 3
Oh what a mess i’ve made of this.
Virtual On Twin Stick Project – Worklog 2
Just quick update today…
Virtual On Twin Stick Project – Worklog 1
Slow and steady progress this week as I was up being sick from 5am yesterday and spent the rest of the day feeling sorry for myself. What I have done is break open my component parts and have a good nose around…
Virtual On Twin Stick Project – BEGIN
Ever since Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram was announced for Xbox 360 i’ve thought it would be really cool to make my own twin sticks – especially when the Hori sticks were announced to cost $300! I milled around online and in shops looking for old 2-axis 2-button joysticks which could work, but without any other real [...]
Manchester Zombie Walk
Today Manchester’s streets played host to hundreds of the shambling undead in an attempt to break a Guinness world record and also raise money for charity. Sadly the record wasn’t broken (a mere 160 Zombies short!) but a great and slightly weird time was had by all!
My Rig (oh how are you still working?!)
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet old faithful, my custom-built rig since 2003, this machine got me through Uni and many a freelance job. Today sadly it looks a little worse for wear, but it’s so bad it’s good The side and front of the case are always off to improve airflow, reset buttons long dead and [...]
Happy Birthday Gundam!
30 Years… 30 Years! That’s incredible for any franchise and it’s not going anywhere. What an amazing three decades it’s been, there have been great times (Zeta), some not so great times(Turn A) and some weird as hell times(G Gundam!) It’s spawned countless games on multiple platforms, and arguably one of the most successful hobbie [...]
Full Size BSG Viper on eBay
No self respecting Battlestar Galactica fan could say no to this! However I think alot of us will be out of the bidding proceedings as at the time of writing this post it’s currently at $21,300, ouch! Check out the eBay listing here, oh and there’s a Rapor that’s on there too!
The Japan 2008 Stash!
Figured it was about time I posted my stash from this year as i’m particularly impressed by how much fitted into my suitcase! The bulk of my money went on Gunpla and i’m really happy with the 6 I purchased, these are:
Sayonara Gunota
Gunota Headlines, on of the finest resources for all things Gundam is closing its doors today after 5 years, the internet is slightly less Otaku today
Wiieel!
I’m a little late to the game with this, but here’s my offering to the homemade Wii Wheel circle! I think it’s a very strong contender for shittest ever! Please pay special attention to the space cut for the IR, and a small hole allowing access to the sync button! Not to mention that fantastic [...]
