Google Reader has just stopped refreshing, I’m sad 🙁 It’s one of those events like the Kennedy assassination, Diana’s demise, or the falling of the Berlin wall, I’ll always remember where I was when it happened. RIP Google Reader 2005 – 2013 Update: It’ll be a week tomorrow since Reader was stolen away from us in its prime, and I still find myself habitually opening the app, only to be…

Cool news, everyone’s favourite 4 player squad game is hopefully having a sequel… and no I don’t mean XCOM 🙂 Back in the 66 Mhz days of Uni, ’93 Syndicate (Just read Peter Molyneux was involved!) and ’96 Syndicate Wars were 2 DOS titles I put heaps of time into, and watching house mates play. Strange the memories I have of it are trying to get my guys to stick…

Insightful article from The Guardian, both interesting and scary. I’d love the opportunity to play with some of these data sets.

Here’s an interesting article at Joystiq, comparing the prices of past consoles at release, with today’s prices, allowing for inflation. Surprising?

On a chilled Sunday afternoon, who needs more than this! Mindless violence, punctuated frequently with humorous quips, while making simple decisions of light / heavy / ranged / teleport. Welcome to Deadpool. It’s easy to work through, challenging in that you’ve gotta get the solution right without needing to googling it, but most of all, it’s fun! Plus I haven’t played a more comic book style game since XIII Gaming…

I’ve now played a couple of hours of The Last of US, hoping it will be a game I’ll play to completion. I am only early in to the story though, just finding my fist Clacker corpse, and **SPOLIER ALERT** why didn’t I read anywhere that Sarah dies! 😉 I finally picked up Hawx-2 last weekend. If there is one genre I feel as not received the quality and quantity…

A great update to the new look Android Gmail app this weekend! The delete button is back, without going through the sub menu. Genius… but how it passed through user testing intrigues me?
This will be interesting, as the OS should be easy to emulate… still upset they run with this and ditch Reader though 😉 Will Google become the next Nintendo, meaning 3rd place in the console market share… but surely they can never have bigger titles than Mario and Zelda? ign – Android Games Console
