I’ve been using CFW3.55 Hermes since I picked up my PS3, a couple of years back. Thinking it’s time to finally upgarde to Rogero CFW4.30 & see what the PS3 online gaming experience is like… or more so I can add patches to titles. As always bricking my PS3 is a danger, although I’ve never had issues on any device in the past when upgrading firmware, touch wood. So according…

[rating:3] I appreciate Eve’s tenacious marketing as much as I appreciated the beauty and wonder of the open universe world they’ve created. What I find funny about this email is how my ‘buddy’ introduced me. After sending the invite he apologised, and claimed this was the most evil thing he’d done to anyone on the internet, introducing me to Eve. Knowing the risks, I took a little dab, what damage…

Now you just thought this was a simple beat game? Ask anyone who has played any of the titles in the series and they will tell you it is anything but simple. But what a lot of players may overlook are the ideals and life lessons within the simple graphics. Here are the ones I took away: It’s all in the mind Chop Chop Master Onion’s wise words of support,…

No idea to buy those that have everything, here I am to solve that issue… Hobbit Feet (socks) from Jinx Heaps of other cool Middle earth ware too, but for 10 bucks you can’t go wrong

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…

stylophone

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…

broken nose nasal fracture

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…

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…
