The new Nokia WP7 phones

October 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Today Nokia took the wrappers off their survival plan – the new set of Windows phones. They announced two; the Lumia 710 and the Lumia 800. The Lumia 710 is designed to be an entry level smartphone. We’re talking 1.4Ghz processor, 3.7 inch WVGA screen, 5 megapixel camera and 8GB on internal storage with microSD […]

Fat Dragon and Troll Lord go to price war

October 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A few hours ago Fat Dragon Games emailed customers to declare a flash sale. All Castle Winterhawk products would have %30 off. This is a set that allows you to build large castle or keeps out of paper. At least; I assume that’s how it works – it’s an RPGNow download. Perhaps the future we’ll […]

Dungeons and Dragons 4th ed cheat codes

October 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Many computer games have cheat codes that the knowing can use to great advantage. Cheat codes may grant extra lives, automatically level you up or even make you impossible to kill. Never seen the attraction in them myself unless it was to power back to a place in the game you’d gotten to before some […]

The Diablo III mini-movie – the Black Soulstone

October 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

This is almost a mini movie. It’s a very long trailer. I think the phrase we use now is “cinematic”. It’s a chunky slice of video to get you to invest in the Diablo III world. It certainly looks great to me! I sense Diablo III is going to be pretty gritty. In the Diablo […]

Skyrim’s Live Action trailer gets M17 rating

October 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

The ESRB content rating given to the live action Skyrim trailer is the mighty mature 17+. Give the video a watch and try and spot the blood and gore, intense violence, sexual themes or the use of alcohol. Okay, if you read the YouTube comments then the 17+ rating might make sense. User Nabbo99 decided […]

Which HTC phones will get Dropbox’s free 5GB?

October 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

HTC have announced a new deal with Dropbox. HTC’s Android phones will come with a free 5GB of storage. It’s a great idea; a good counter to iCloud. I’ve an HTC Sensation with Dropbox installed. I don’t pay for Dropbox but have done some of their social media competitions in order to boost my storage. […]

Trading sites giving away 100s of Eredan cards

October 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Brother and sister trading sites Trade Cards online and Miniature Trading (guess what they do) are giving away hundreds of Eredan cards. The first 100 users to email them with the answer to the following question picks up a coupon free stuff. The question is: What’s the name of the first enemies you face in […]

Need for Speed: The Run – movie or game?

October 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not really a fan of driving games – mainly because I’m rubbish at them. I remember all to well when one Project Gotham game had to tell me it could not find anyone worse or of the same skill level on the servers to race with; it could only find people better than me. […]

Fan film: Naruto Shippuden: Dreamers Fight

October 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The plot is pretty simple – Rock Lee decides he needs to test himself by fighting Naruto. Okay; that’s a simple plot but it fits with the rest of the Naruto Shippuden series I’ve seen. It sounds like something Rock Lee would do and Naruto agree to. This 15 movie (part 1) isn’t really about […]

Monsters under the x-ray

October 24, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is art. Okay; it’s rather freaky art from To See in the Dark and combine what with monsters good enough for any dungeon – and this Geek Native blogger is interested in it. The octo-lady is certainly nothing I’d like my heroic pirate PC to have to deal with. There’s something about her that […]
