RoboCop the musical: Murphy, it’s you!

September 6, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

There’s nothing wrong with this recent trend for turning golden oldies into musicals. I think. Not so sure that “Murphy, it’s you!” is my favourite but here it is anyway. What do you think? Does the Murphy, it’s you ever reach the ear splitting heights you feared it would?

PlayStation Move advert isn’t naff

September 3, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

I was lucky enough to have a go on the PlayStation Movie during the Edinburgh Interactive Festival. I wasn’t allowed to take any photos but I did get a feel for the Move device itself. It’s certainly more responsive than the Wii-mote. Not sure it’s as amazingly precise as some people claim but I didn’t […]

Inflatable Bag Monsters: Must See Art

September 3, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

These are so cool. Is this New York? The subway vents are certainly one of my memories of New York – that and the steam that blows from tubes stuck in the ground. Steam is impressive. Monsters that appear from the trash are even better. I think Joshua Allen Harris’ deserves extra kudos for essentially […]

Rocket Jump of legend

September 2, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The rocket jump is a must watch movie. Once again we can see how knowledge of computer games – and the ability to find a rocket launcher when you really need one – is a likely lifesaver. This video is from the same team the real life aimbot and I begin to wonder whether they’re […]

Brushfire review

September 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brushfire is a miniature war game from On the Lamb games. I had my copy sent to work – a digital marketing agency – and handed it to a colleague sitting near me and explained I’d be writing a review of it. Captain Caveman, as we affectionately call his colleague, isn’t a gamer but he’s […]

Chillin’ Chewbacca

September 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The danger of beating a wookie at chess is that it might rip your arm off. Everyone knows this. Really, though, is this fair on the wookies? Maybe they’re just big fuzz balls that like to relax at home. I suspect this may be the case. I’ve photographic evidence.

Sticker collecting is sexy

September 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Cute girls collect stickers. This blogger knows one in real life. This photo comes from the rather excellent and sometimes naughty 9Gag. Now, I might accept that the photo is staged – the second half looks posed if you ask me – but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that this photo can be used […]

The Xbox’s revolutionary new D-Pad

September 1, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Which is better? The PS3 controller or the Xbox 360’s? Microsoft say they’ve had some feedback from their community which suggests that the D-pad on their controller could be better. They think they’ve made some significant improvements. In this video fan facing spokesman, Major Nelson, shows off the new controller. Check it out. Looks pretty […]
