I’m eager to start MGSV after completing Batman Arkham Knight, but here’s the biggest challenge initially playing MGSV – How to control snake? As I’m still waiting for the full game I thought my time would be better prepared with time spent playing MGSV: Ground Zeroes, rather than Rocket League 🙂 Controls for my reference, I’m not finding it intuitive as yet Really enjoyed the couple of hours it took…

This is going to be posted so often on social media pages… could it be a catalyst to stop the petty corrections in spelling and grammer? Nah, I don’t think so either 🙂

Today I ordered a YubiKey, mainly motivated that I keep forgetting passwords 🙂 I hope this will allow me to step up the complexity of passwords that I use, and free up a little personal RAM One key. Two form factors. The Standard and Nano deliver a one-time passcode (OTP) with a simple touch of a button. No SMS-like passcodes to retype from one device to another. Our most basic…

I was so stoked Friday to find Cyanogenmod 12 arrives for Nexus 4! The boards said it was stable, or that snapshot is the new stable, so I thought why not. I’ve been doing this since the Nexus 1, so I dropped into the usual update process; I backed up everything and took advantage of being able to install direct from my copy of CM 11. Everything went well, apps…
So between learning my way around an acoustic guitar and trying to finish the main story of withcer 3 before Metal Gear Solid 5 arrives, I’ve been trying to set up my Raspberry Pi as a VPN router… again 🙂 Here’re a few of the links that have helped my journey To run the initial config at any time: [code]sudo raspi-config[/code] Raspberry Pi – Static IP address Essential, so I…
Another distraction away from Witcher 3; I’ve acquired an acoustic guitar and Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin. Both heaps of fun, hard to believe I’ve left it so long to pick up either one of them earlier 🙂

I was reluctant to pick up the next gen of console, cautious that there were not enough quality original titles available. True, I have have been playing ported versions of GTAV and Street Fighter IV, but the 2 games that have been impressing me lately are the 3rd part in trilogies, begun on the last generation of hardware; Batman: Arkham Knight, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I’ve still yet…
This is a sad day in the age of cloud computing, I’ve just heard that yahoo pipes is to be pulled out of commission from the end of September 🙁 I know I can pull my news feeds via different mechanisms, I already do for popular sites, but this makes me sad. Yahoo pipes is, it is still with us for now, a fantastic powerful UI, that allows a user…

Quite gutted that I can’t buy early Beta Access to Street Fighter v in my geographic area, so I have been making the most of the fighting options available for Street Fighter iv, on the PS4, with Geek Fighting Gadgets 🙂 I’ve been searching for an hard copy of SFiv for the PS4, to be told they’re not available; so reluctantly settled for the digital version… all cool but my…

This title reminds me Rez, and in turn Child of Eden; although rather than relying on the Kinect this plays on the efficiency of the left and right side of ones brain. This is a game I will keep installed to fill those brief moments when a casual game is needed. what a choice PlayStation Plus title

wish I had more time to play, although enjoying the other aspects of life 🙂 Loving Batman: Arkham Knight, the city is vast, the bat mobile is awesome, and the plot dark & trippy. Just had a quick intro to Styx: Master of Shadows.. fantastic free title from PS4 Play, I’ve paid much more for worse, although cautious the plot could be too 2 dimensional, but it takes me back…

I’ve been a fan of batman since my teen days, and have enjoyed each of the new video game series, so was stoked to pick up Batman Arkham Knight on the PS4. I wasn’t happy about seeing the ‘season pack’ for sale for ~$70! Guess the Call of Duty business model is working? First impressions Frame rate seems a little too fast, the moment in combat is somewhat lost Batmobile…

DS4Windows I’ve been trying this out in the few hours I’ve had to play Elite:Dangerous 1.3, it’s so much more comfortable than the 360 pad I was using prior, just have to work out how to get the mouse pad working ????
SlashGear: Planetside 2 online shooter launches June 23. F2P MMO FPS ???? I d don’t have much time for games currently, but this will certainly be in my download queue
I’m enjoying Mortal Kombat X, although I don’t seem to be and to activate the story mode. I’ve deleted, reinstalled, and downloaded patches (~4Gig!) 3 times, with no luck. Think it may be related to the training, although experiments are unsuccessful 🙁

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.…
