I’ve just watched the 2 series 17 South Park Black Friday episodes, as fantastic satire as ever 🙂 “I like the PS4’s controller’s better.” – “The PS4 controller has a touchpad interface.” “Let these Sony fucks wallow in their limited voice-control functionality!” “When you pre-order a game, you’re just committing to paying for something that some assholes in California haven’t even finished working on yet.” – “You know what you…

OK, to be honest I haven’t really played a Grand Turismo title since ’99, GT2. I had an imported Japanese copy before the millenium, and I put in so many hours. My favourite car back then,probably like many other gamers, was the Escudo Pikes Peak Special, and I’m so stoked to see it back in all its ~1000 hp glory in GT6. The handling is as I remember; drop the…

Finally made my way through Journey! It was an enjoyable experience. Experience being the key word, as it wasn’t really a challenge, in fact I spent the last half of the game repeating the mantra: “Please let this be the end!” I can’t understand how this was awarded GotY over other, more deserving, multi platform, titles. However ater playing this game through I am will to upgrade my score little…

Today confirmed I’m not part of IGN’s core market. Why’s that you may ask, you’re a gamer? 😉 Funny you should ask, it’s their Game of the Year nominations. Year after year I have a WTF moment when the winner is released, this years shock caused by The Last of Us (PS3 only), coming out the winner over GTA V! I found TLoU too much like a Resident evil clone;…

BitText – a list of the active chans, broadcast messages, on BitMessage

I don’t know for how long Bitmessage will be usable, I fear that it will go the way of the BitCoin wallet, and take forever to update. Until then here’s I’ll use it where I can, and here is a summary of just how many messages are sent, down to the hour granularity. Bitmessage Statistics

While reading up on Cryptostorm I’ve stumbled across bitmessage: Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide “non-content” data, like the sender and…
