So Street Fighter V has finally arrived, and I’ve been playing as many matches as possible since launch 🙂 So the important post launch questions: is it worthy of the pre-launch hype, is it an unfinished product, how does x platform matches work? Is Street Fighter V worthy of the pre-launch hype? It is no secret that I’m a long time Street Fighter fan boy, so my opinion here may…

07/02/2016
The Nexus 5X has been my primary handset now for a couple of months, I am loving the speed of the device and 4G, but there’s something I’ve been missing, and that’s super user access. My history of rooting Nexus devices is documented on this blog back to the Nexus 1, and touch wood I haven’t had any issues in the past… except losing data once in a while. Rule…

Android Police: Facebook Is Adding Tor Support To The Android App. Engadget: Facebook on Android gives you privacy through Tor. The Guardian: Facebook adds Android app support for anonymity service Tor. So from what I understand all this will allow is FaceBook to be accessed via an onion domain. Is this a good / bad thing? Pro Given the FB user base size, this may encourage more individuals to use…
Google Keep to Ubuntu
23/01/2016
I’ve not been posting as often as I’d like due to the Android WordPress app not connecting… that’s another post. What I have been doing over the last couple of days is dropping any stories that I like to Google Keep. This has to be the one mobile app that I find the most useful; from shopping, book, movie, games, and to-do lists, to inspirations, notes, and shit I must…

linux spoof mac address does what it says on the tin, although not sure why you would need this or if there is a root free Android version 😉
Google’s new algorithm will make Chrome run much faster Chrome is about to load web pages a lot faster than you’ve experienced up until now. Thanks to a new compression algorithm called Brotli, which Google introduced last September, Chrome will be able to compress data up to 26 percent more than its existing compression engine, Zopfli, which is an impressive jump. Sounds cool, but will this allow for more Google…

There are so many references within the Metal Gear Solid universe to David Bowie, as a tribute I’m to finish this game next RIP Bowie, as Pratchett said “Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?”
Robot Wars returns to the BBC in 2016
14/01/2016
With new technological advances making for an even more exciting and immersive experience, this is a fantastic example of the kind of content-rich factual entertainment that BBC Two excels at. Robot Wars returns to the BBC in 2016 – BBC Media Centre I’m quite stoked about the return of Robot Wars, although a pity Craig Charles probably won’t be hosting this season due to Red Dwarf commitments… pray they don’t…
Thanks to The Register; here’s The Edward Snowden guide to practical privacy If you’re just an average user concerned about your privacy Use Tor when browsing. You don’t have to use Tor all the time (it does slow things down considerably and some sites will also block Tor traffic).

Star Wars Battlefront
21/11/2015
Star Wars Battlefront Cons: I’m no fan of EA, I detest the model of releasing games with partial content Pros: It’s Star Wars; X-wings vs Tie Fighters, Speeder Bike races through Endor forrests, and I’ve only played the tutorial 🙂 I hardly play online games, so this will make a more social change. The last time I played Star Wars Battlefront was on the PSP the best part of a…
Back to Bloodborne
13/11/2015
I’ve been having fun playing Dark Souls 2, progressing slowly, got to a point I couldn’t pass (caves spiders, then multiple dark cleric boss), so thought I’d take a break. So booted up Bloodborne, played around in the Dark Forest levelled up a couple of times, and ended up opting to have a look around the Gaol. Joy of joys, after several attempts & ringing the beckoning bell each time…
I’ve just had a revelation
29/10/2015

29/10/2015
So after getting Elite:Dangerous to play well I’ve lost 3,500,000 credits, the last encounter in a war zone with a T9 of all ships! So I decided to cut my losses, and not in the manner of unplugging my ‘net connection, I took the hit, just time away to read up and contemplate 🙂 So I’ve now gone back to Dark Souls 2, and have the usual love hate thing…
Back in the Elite:Dangerous universe
25/10/2015
After 6 months or so away from playing, I’m back in the Elite:Dangerous universem I thought I’d go back and visit space, see if much had changed. After spending 3 evening trying to establish and fix when my PC would randomly boot while running Win7. After checking everything from BIOS t, drivers, and the PCU, removing and refitting the memory seemed to fix the issue… for now. I then installed…
