By installing Gnome on 13.10 Saucy Salamander I lost my mouse cursor when opening Unity Now I’ve never beent he biggest fan of Unity; but through asking advice on the irc freenode #ubuntu channel I was introduced to xubuntu. 🙂 I find it hard to believe that over the many years, installations, and virtual boxes that I’ve never tried xubuntu before! I’ve fallen for its simplicity and ease, what drew…

After a session playing Skyrim yesterday (I accidently killed the Ebony Knight, I may go back to an earlier save), I was inspired to load up for the first time Bethesda‘s Rage, and I’ve been pleasently surprised. It feels like a glossy verison of Borderlands, set in a near identical World Interplay’s signature post- apocalypse Fallout, although with a feel of Mad Max. Finding it easy to engage with; usual…

After my AMD graphic card driver update my Kerbals are now back in space! And this time in 1080p 🙂 I think this weekend may entail a mission to the Mun!

We all have someone that we’d like to introduce to this new app

Bataman; Arkham Origins (Metacritic 74%, 8.0)on the 360 is staggeringly beautiful, (I’m going to have to go back and play the last title to see how it looks in 1080p) the textures are detailed, and the character movements slick. The flow style battle is back, just as brutal, and fun. Gadgets are equipped from the offset, with the ‘level-up’s’ earned It all sounds good eh? But my one problem with…

I’ve just picked up Assassins Creed iv Black Flag for the xbox 360 🙂 I have mixed expectations about this; (no ratings yet: Metacritic as it doesn’t release to the rest of the World for another 12 hours, gotta love the antipodes) I didn’t really get into ACiii, I didn’t like the controls or find the plot engrossing… but on the other hand I’m a big fan of pirate games,…

We’re moving into the age of the paperless office at work, so I’m looking to start using my wi-fi Nexus 7 to take notes on. I can tether it to my mobile if necessary, and who knows they may one day entice BYOD by allowing us to connect our own devices to the companies wi-fi. But until then I’d like to use my Android device offline. Keep is great for…

The last time I stopped blogging for an extended period wasn’t because I had stopped playing games, but one single game, Skyrim, was taking all of my digital time. This time around it’s GTA V 🙂 Am I enjoying it as much as Skyrim? Maybe not, as it doesn’t have the personalisation, and specialisation… but then I haven’t taken it online yet! I’ve completed the main story, and am now…
Here’re a summary of nice to know GTA V Tips and Tricks within the Los Santos World, that I’ve realised over the past few days. Melee (XBOX) trigger = attack while locked on, holding Left Trigger X dodge B Counter A sprint as usual stripper bars Great location to lose the cops… like you need an excuse to enter Clothes shops can also be used, although perusing garments isn’t quite…
[Rating:0] – I can’t think of anything redeemable I wrote a post recently that I should review poor games from time to time, and this weekend is certainly it. Fast and Furious Showdown is perhaps the worst game I’ve played on a 3rd generation console. I do like driving games, and have even been known to enjoy a Fast and Furious film. I would not say that I am a…

I’m shocked, you hear stories, how a steam console could be linux based. An then the day arrives when I can install Steam on Ubuntu. This is a game changer, lets hope the AMD graphic card support gets better

What is a stylophone? A stylophone is a miniature stylus-operated analog synthesizer invented in 1967 by British electronics engineer and musician Brian Jarvis. The stylophone has a metal keyboard played by touching it with a stylus—each note is connected to a capacitor within the circuit, which is discharged by the stylus’ conductivity, producing a note. Some well-known songs that have featured a stylophone include: -David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” -Roxy Music’s…
