I succumbed to a 14 day PlayStation Plus offer, Race the Sun is my first few game to try. You are a solar craft. The sun is your death timer. Hurtle towards the sunset at breakneck speed in a futile race against time. Delay the inevitable by catching energy boosts which reverse the setting sun – if only for a moment. Race The Sun is inspired by arcade games of…

One of the great features of the PS4 is the new Joypad, it’s more ergonomic, and the touch pad is a work of design genius. So I was stoked to find out it could be used on the PC by following this simple guide from Make Use Of – how to use the ps4 controller on your mac or pc Now I can ditch my old Hori xbox pad for…

Bloodborne’s difficulty is a refreshing change in platform open world titles, a challenge that I am enjoying after months of Elite:Dangerous. It is not that each individual encounter is hard; far from it, it is quite easy to take down a single foe. Although when this difficulty is compounded by ever enemy that you face, as the ‘save’ points as few and far between, does it become a true challenge.…

With the news of the the next Deus Ex title (Mankind Divided) being 4th Gen (7th?) only, I made the leap and picked up a PS4 this weekend; together with GTAV, and Bloodborne So why a PS4? I’m a long time Sony fanboy, even though I’ve prefered xbox live over the years to the PLaystation offering. Games I wanna play only available on the Playstation Platform: Bloodborne Final Fantasy Street…

Finally made it to Pratchett’s disk, not too bad too wise, but trading my Clipper for a Asp I could have done it in half the jumps. On the way to HIP 74290 I was thinking that my next mission might be to Sagittarius A Star, although after arriving here, and reading that the Ankh Guards (primary occupier [Neutral]) are looking for food and non lethal weapons, I’m tempted to…

I’ve been playing about with some python code, having creating a few (useless) Reddit bots, I might look to publish the code as sure others would like to do similar… although all my code is pretty much plagerised from a variety of different sources 🙂 So I’ve been on another break from Elite:Dangerous. Returning to Siddha I didn’t fancy trading, and the conflict zones nearby have dried up, so I’ve…

I haven’t played Elite for a week, after the ‘Ball Dock Clipper Incident’ In exile from elite I’ve been visiting Arkham in Batman: Arkham Origins, and enjoying the change in genre and gamestyle. Finally beating Deadshot last night, I feel I’ve earned the rights to return to space trucking 🙂 My Clipper currently has a hold capacity of 240 tonnes, but due to my reduced funds, and to cover insurance…

I’ve just crashed my Clipper with 240 tonnes of gold into a space station, ~ 4 Million credits with insurance gone in the blink of an eye. I love elite: dangerous, but it makes you pay dearly for your mistakes. I need a break, finishing the COD:AW campaign for a change of scene and genre Update: shit story, too much of a wannabe COD:MW [RATING: 2], not looking forward to…

I finished in the top 70% percent in the Federations Battle of Lugh; I didn’t show the greatest commitment to the cause, so quite stoked with the 7 million payout + bonds. Off back to Ross 780 to swap my Vulture for my Asp, and continue ranking up in the Empire, and space trucking 🙂 Change of plan; I’ve put on my explorer space suit, and I’m off to see…

Finally made time to complete this choice title, Brothers: A Tale of two Sons A great story, an emotional roller-coaster, paced to perfection, but as all good games, just long enough. Very nice scaled environments, great character movement, and novel puzzles. Money well spent, will play again… there are achievements outstanding, nice work starbreeze Ah He? [rating: 4]
Here’s a script that has been in my library for a while, don’t know why I haven’t shared it before now, all credit to nearengine 🙂 This does a simple delete on all of our Reddit post history, no double delete like other options redditPurge is a simple script I wrote while learning Python. It destroys your entire Reddit history, letting you start with a clean slate or delete your…

I thought this a worthy gesture: GNU Terry Pratchett header set X-Clacks-Overhead “GNU Terry Pratchett”

I’ve spent most of my time in the Elite: Dangerous universe trading, space trucking valuable cargo on short efficient jumps, getting a feel for the engine and saving up enough credits… to buy a bigger ship and have the ability to haul more 😉 After the last 1.2 Wings update, and the last patch that has brought down the cost of battle focussed ships, I’ve decided to try more pew…

This week a great man shuffled off his mortal coil, Terry Pratchett, Discworld series author, dies aged 66 I’m very sad to hear he’s passed away, but also know he campaigned for everyones right-to-die, so I hope he had the opportunity to act on his wishes. I’ve loved his books from childhood, will certainly read them to my child, Terry left an amazing legacy, and I thank him for all the…

I was given a Void Cube for xmas, all good fun solving it, just like a normal cube. Differences are: Yellow of a normal Rubik’s cube is Red on a Void White on regular is Yellow on Void Red on regular is Purple/Pink on Void Easy enough to follow the 5 layer solution: You can do the cube The issue is sometimes you get Parity, where the invisible center pieces colours…
2 modern day legends talk about the potential disasters that the Sol system could succumb to. I found this really interesting, certainly the info on the temperatures of Brown Dwarfs

I’ve been playing far too much Elite:Dangerous! So much that I missed this patch to SSFiv back in December! Here are the changes, thanks to Eventhubs, now off to see how the changes work for my mains, and if they’re any new moves 🙂 Update: Detailed guide of moves here: capcom-unity.com Ryu gains new Target Combos, more offensive and defensive options, and a move known as the Hanagashi, which simulates…
