ā Xbox One engineer – Gameplanet New Zealand I don’t know what to think about this. The console will be on the market for 5+ years, so you would think that it would be future proofed? But then I guess it’s about an economy of scale, saving a few hundred bucks off the build cost allows MS to sell new boxes for the same price as current models, give or…

For a year or so, I’ve been using a very useful and effective GreaseMonkey script, which deletes all of my Reddit posts. Userscripts: Delete All Comments – it also deletes posts. Together with the Reddit Enhancement Suite option of auto scroll, clearing my history is achieved in a single click. All good, but I came across a post on Reddit, by one of the mods, stating that deleted posts could…

I always fancy playing a game that someone has borrowed š eh oh, back to finish Tomb raider

I’ve been looking through the games I’ve mentioned here, and there are not that many that I would say don’t play… except maybe for Journey, but others from what I’ve read on Metacritic would hold this opinion as sacrilegious. I’m going to try and find a game I can not enjoy & criticise… remembered I wasn’t that keen on Fifa 13 either, but I think that is football and sports…

I’ve always been a gamer before consoles and PC’s could fill this gap, and today I’ve been like a child in a sweetshop, as I’ve found this wonderful repository ebookbrowse Here there are links to role play books that I’ve long since stored or given away. In particular MERP, or to you none geeks, Middle Earth Role Play. BTW, from the MERP book cover, this is what I thought the…

I’m so stoked Disney made this! [Rating:4.2] – It could have been longer and explored more ideas, other than that perfect http://youtu.be/1dIznsAdTOE

At the end of the 80’s, as a teenager RPG’s had just started to be released on consoles… or more importantly for me, on the ones I owned. I’d been reading the Fighting Fantasy books of Stephen Jackson and Ian Livingston from when they were first available, now I had the opportunity to role play without a dice, pencil, and eraser! The titles that are most prominent in my memory:…

Last Saturday the sites twitter feed was suspended, I’m quite gutted about this, as it was my personal update of what was happening in the World regarding the topics I enjoy reading about, i.e. games and techno toys. So as this option has disappeared for now, I’ve been more reliant on the RSS news feeds on the top tab. I’ve played with dumping the content into posts on the site,…

[Rating:5] Ingress Intel Total Conversion This app has been installed on my phone and tablet for the past couple of weeks, and it’s chewing up bandwidth. I have been opening it more often than Gmail! It’s fantastic to see what has changed in the ‘hood overnight, and perfect for planning the most AP effective route for my lunch time migration between portals. This is truly an amazing feat of programming,…

I’ve had this domain name for a couple of years. I only use the space to blog and play with web technology, I am not reliant on search traffic, I make nada from it, so I fancy a change. Something that’s more me. Available options I’m considering: www.MasterYoshi.com – who doesn’t love Yoshi? www.FinalBossBattle.com – the end in nigh www.BlankaFanClub.com – Blanka’s my Friday night special www.DuckDuckTurn.com – PunchPunchKick has…

Samsung hit speeds of 1Gbps in testing, wow! But what are we going to be moving that will be so large? I had comparable speeds to what I use now 7 years ago, on broadband, but I guess streaming had improved. Holograms by 2020 perhaps?

We’ve currently been pulled from Twitter, fingers crossed this is only temporary. I’ve filled in a request to lift the ban, let’s hope it’s lifted soon.
Slashdot Cyanogenmod 10.1 After owning my N1 for a few weeks I’d rooted it amd installed Cyanogenmod. I loved what it allowed me to do with my phone, beyond the generic Android OS. By N1 has been boxed up for a couple of months… well actually used as a dev test phone for a work app, and I’m more than happy with 4.2.2 on the N4 and N7. If I…

[rating:2] Bonza! I’ve finally acquired a copy of Journey this evening. Iām enjoying the space, and the non verbal narrative reminds me of the games (ICO, Shadow of the Colossus ) that brought me to the PS3 I’m really absorbed by the look and feel… but it just doesn’t hold my attention. Or maybe not if I take this critical response at face value 1/4To3 Update I’m finding the lack…

http://m.coolrom.com/ I’ve been hunting for ROMs on my Android, a friend showing a box shot of the retro shoot ’em up classic Super Fantasy Zone motivated me š This site is a fantastic repository of classic titles that deserve to be replayed and not fall into obscurity [rating:4]

[rating:4.5] if you like video games, you will enjoy this. As a long time avid gamer it seems crazy that I’ve never played a Tomb Raider title before. I understand the premise, think I may have even watched a film, not that it was memorable. But in a way I’m quite happy to have left it until now, this Square Enix version of Tomb Raider is as close to a…

[rating:3] I played the last Far Cry iteration on the 360, or rather I started it, and was bored easily. I’m only an hour or so into the third version on the PS3, and am enjoying it… come back soon to see if that lasts

Bugger, I must not have turned off my PS3 correctly last night! I booted it up this evening to try Far Cry 3, Rogero wouldn’t load, apparently corrupted files. No more MultiMan!… time to upgrade to MM 4.14 me thinks, bugger I’ve lost all of my saves though. [rating:0]

[rating:2] As a break from GTA, I’ve installed Terraria on the PS3. I’m working my way through the tutorial, I can see this taking up a big chunk of my gaming time. Off to see if I can play it on Android š Edit: Apparently you can!
