On Valentines Day, again, a US university was rocked when one of its own students entered a lecture theatre and shot at classmates with a shotgun.
Five students were killed, and sixteen wounded before the gunman turned his weapon on himself. As usual the 24hr rolling news channels descended on the university campus and the salivating […]
Been busy. Decorating. Setting up the BigPC in the spare room (or office, as it pretty much is). Had to re-route an ethernet cable from the router to the XBOX downstairs (via exterior of house). Can someone tell me why the XBOX doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi? FFS it’s £70 for the Wi-Fi adapter. Rip-off […]
Geeks everywhere rejoice. The genius that is Jonathan Coulton.
Christian conservatives. Gotta love’em.
(p.s. this video accompanies my *first* podcast… to go live sometime over the weekend, once I get everything sorted. Worked very hard today getting the first one ready. Am good. Deserve a present. )
UPDATE: Actually it may be Monday before the podcast goes live. It’s my first attempt and I’m not […]
As HD-DVD kicks the bucket, rumours are aplenty that Microsoft are planning a Blu-Ray add-on drive. On RatGeek I explain why this is pointless.
Sony, that huge electronics and media behemoth, is struggling with its latest PlayStation games console. Over on Rational Geekery, I explain why the platform isn’t necessarily a lost cause and highlight a couple of options open to Sony.

Just had a quick blast on the Timeshift demo on the XBOX 360. Not impressed. The graphics, which we should remember may be better in the actual release build, are decidedly last-gen, looking little better than some games available on the original XBOX.
It’s also horribly unoriginal - even more so than most FPSs. The population-under-siege […]

I went to my brother-in-laws last night to play Halo3 online.
It’s pretty hectic. The “Team Slayer” mode is brilliant. Two teams fighting over various environments trying to get the highest number kills. Simple, eh?
It’s brilliant.
We play split screen with other online players. We also play one-on-one offline. My sister plays too.
She’s not so […]
One of the guys I shared a house with at Uni, Rick Dacey, is producing a video blog from the Barcelona round of the European Poker Tour.
About 4 minutes in, Rick interviews a feisty female player named Liz Lieu. Nice one, dude.

Ah Ha! It must be the videogames!
Desperate Dave has hinted that he plans to ban violent computer games, as part of a crackdown on violent crime in Britain.
So much for progressive conservatism, eh Dave? *tyger sniggers* Seems to me you’re just another ignorant and conniving politico, prepared to jump on the video games are […]

I know, slow on the old blog the last couple of days. Been busy with a few jobs Mrs. tyger lined up for me. Plus: I still have that laptop review to write (sorry Lucy, hellishly busy), not to mention a whole heap of copy to complete. Oh, an it’s my bro-in-law’s birthday, so there […]
