The Hungry Earth saw the return of the Silurians to Doctor Who. It was their first appearance on “New Who”. The next episode, part two of the sequence, is called In Cold Blood and features a heck of a lot more Silurians. The BBC has become very quick to YouTube yank but, unless that happens, […]

Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures gone from Facebook
There you have it. Wizards of the Coast’s Facebook D&D game has been removed from Facebook. This comes as a surprise to me as despite playing it a lot (hey; I travel) I was totally unaware that the game was about to retire. If you go to the old URL for the game application at […]
Only the good dye Jung
It is only clever if you think it is. I’m informed that this picture is now in public domain and free for the talents of the intenet to dye in all sorts of pretty colours.
Have you ever wondered… where cursors come from?
Cursors come from the cursor woods of the great icon valley. We have Jay B Sauceda to thank for this discovery. Or, er, Nathan W Pyle. Perhaps Nathan’s the artist? Anyway! Enjoy!
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies graphic novel review
I’m going to be honest with you – I’ve not read Pride and Prejudice. Although I’ve read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter – I’ve not even read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Now I’ve read, and enjoyed, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies the graphic novel and so I’m not that far behind. However, it’s perhaps not […]
Sonic Colours – spelt right and due out late 2010
Here’s an interesting looking game. Sonic Colours might well just be one of the games that suits the Nintendo Wii down to the ground. Okay; it’s a Sega game that you can only play on a Nintendo console. That’s a little interesting. What’s also rather nice to see is that the SEGAEurope YouTube video uses […]
The Great Ghastly
What we have here is a successfull attempt to mix Pokemon with the works of F. Scott Fitgerald. I’m sure that doesn’t happen every day. I actually think The Great Gatbsy is a good read and recommend it. It’s short. With little effort you can say you’ve read a classic. Right now, on Amazon.co.uk, Fitzgerald’s […]
Looking sharp – Naruto Shippuuden: Ulimated Ninja Storm 2
Okay; so I’m following Naruto by the DVD release schedule here in the UK. Don’t mock me! It means the next disc is the start of Naruto Shippuuden. It’s late. I know the cheeky scamp gets a new costume. Or an old costume with black patches sewn on it. Whereas I worry about spoilers – […]
The mobile phone number of death: 0888 888 888
In Bulgaria a mobile phone number – 0888 888 888 – has been suspended and removed from use. Why? Everyone who was assigned the number died. The story might begin with the former CEO of the mobile phone company Mobitel (who managed the number). He used it first. He died at the age of 48, […]
Become the Avatar – Facebook RPG review
Seattle based social media Banyan Branch reached out to see if I would be interested in taking a look at the new “Become the Avatar” Facebook game. They’re working with Paramount. Since they seemed polite enough and Paramount’s busy internal PR people haven’t quite gotten around to treating this Scottish blogger with the VIP treatment […]
