As the PS4 is rumoured to be released later this year, I’ve had a retro experience on my PS3, via the new version of MultiMan. It’s now possible to play old PS1 games! I’m so stoked at the opportunity to play some old classics, and thanks to CoolRom I’ve picked up a couple of old favourites: Metal Slug X Oddworld – Abe’s Oddysee Parappa the Rapper UmJammer Lammy They’re all…

Mainly due maxing out the WordPress engine with auto posts & it has taken a while to clear all of the detritus. But it’s gone, & I hope to record what’s on my mind & what I’m playing with more often. I’ve a couple of new toys; finally a decent PC gaming rig, AMD 64 8 core… thinking I maybe should have gone for a P7 for better Ubuntu compatability.…

bitches! I’ve just heard of this titles release from this sites rss. Cell shaded zombies, intriguing progressive plot, take my money. But no, another title not just toned down, but this time denied to us in the antipodean, and why? On Telltale Games’ official forum, a member asked about the release of The Walking Dead in Australia. An employee of Telltale replied with the following: “Sorry, but due to the…

No luck gaining access the site for a couple of days, no biggy, an email exchange later & my ip is apparently added to the firewall exclusion & I’m in… I thought the issue was too much space been taken up on server, as I’ve revived warnings & had just backed up files to server. I’ve tried a couple of WordPress plugins to clear the old posts, only to receive…

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…
I’ve been a huge fan of Tolkien since my pre-teen years. I remember distinctly how my imagination was provoked the 1st time I read The Hobbit, blown away by the amazingly original Lord of the Rings movie (1978) [I’ll pick that ball up another time], & then enthralled by not just the novels of LoTR’s, but the Middle Earth role play source books which created an entire universe with graphic…

I’ve both Dawnguard & Hearthfire installed, I’m finishing off the vamp missions, maxing our my vamp skill tree, before I plan to turn back to lupine. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed my time as a blood sucking creature of the night, but I find the dark lord far too overpowered. Twice in the last 24hrs I’ve been trying to fast travel & both times the game hangs on the…

Wow, the google doodle today is something quite original, a simple Star Trek point & click, which ends with a search return screen for Star Trek: The Original Series Enjoy 🙂

What key words serached for in google correlate over time? Nice question, & here’s the tool to help you find an answer, google trends, correlate Limited to NZ, here’s the correlation for Call Of Duty searches… student hardship the 6th match, causation link? And come on, people must search for ‘one cup‘ for another reason, who are you dirty people 😉
Have I got some cool shit to show. I took the fusion table I’d made with the list of xbox titles, and I’ve cut the data by different descriptions on a couple of network charts. Did I mention the tables are interactive? Have a play, see what you think xbox titles by developer & genre Note to self: 10/09/16 – Rebuild this for PS4 🙂
Sad, but here I am on a Saturday playing with more fusion graphs 🙂 & here’s today’s data source, 149 megs from NZ Stats 2006 census data Here’s my first NZ heat map, showing 2006 population by region. Frustrating that I couldn’t get the map to geocode Hawke’s Bay on a NZ map. Switch to a World map, Hawke’s Bay shows fine, but Canterbury is moved to England, & Marlborough to…

I’ve been playing with Googles Fusion Tables, specifically the map function, & for a free service it’s quite impressive. Data can be uploaded in several ways, via traditional file types (txt, csv, xls), linked to from Google Docs, or simply pasted into a fusion table. Here’re a couple of examples that I’ve put together: a map of crop circles in the UK from 2009 data courtesy of The Guardian, data…

I’m going through a personal Beatles revival, although when I say that, I’ve never been a fan, so to speak. Being part of Thatcher’s yoof The Beatles were always a background noise; we sang their songs at school, everyones Mum had had a crush on one of them a decade or so ago, Paul was still rocking, I can’t really remember John being shot, but there wasn’t 24 hr news…

Hard Boiled is one of my all time favourites, Woo, Wong & Chow Yun-Fat together created a masterpiece. Stranglehold was fun, but Sleeping Dogs looks to be more undercover cop, Hong Kong, duel 9mm’s than its inspiration. An undercover cop, too deep in with the triad, Hong Kong based, open World title, was always going to be compared to Woo, so this post is probably already a cliche, but I…

This has to be one of the most interesting plugins for a web browser I’ve seen in a long time… perhaps since the advent of Flash! This fantastic plugin takes an HTML table, allows you to analyse the data, & save the results in an xls format. Mind blown! Excel is my first weapon of choice at work; I may need to source data via SQL, but reporting happens &…
