May 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Amazingly the post is a look inside – take a breah – the Borderlands 2 Deluxe Vault Hunter’s Collector’s Edition and Ultimate Loot Chest Limited Edition.

May 17, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The first reaction, of many, was that this would be nothing but a US copy of Steven Moffat’s and Benedict Cumberbatch’s contemporary Sherlock Holmes. CBS then said Doctor Watson would be a woman. Joan […]

May 15, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

The latest trailer for Prometheus gives us the best glimpses of the aliens yet. It’s fair to say you’ll see a lot of overlap with classic Alien horror and design. This is an official trailer, not a leak, but still be cautious about watching it or reading any further if you’re worried about spoilers. The […]

J.J. Abrams and Favreau’s Revolution trailer

May 15, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This sounds like a winning combo. J.J. Abrams is the man behind the Star Trek reboot film, Lost, Fringe and Alcatraz. Jon Favreau is the man resposible for the Iron Man movie and Cowboys & Aliens. I enjoyed the latter. The team have paired up for a post-apocalyptic drama called Revolution. It’s airing in the […]

Sony’s HX8 Bravia is magic

May 14, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I need a new TV. The thing is – I’m holding off finding a replacement because I believe the current fad for 3D will pass. The next generation of interesting TVs will be connected devices; TVs that I can use to connect to the internet. Step forward Sony with their Bravia line. The flagship model […]

Wall Street Journal reporter hacks RPG projects on Kickstarter

May 14, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A Wall Street Journal reporter or a programmer working for him/her has exploited a bug in Kickstarter’s API. The result was some 70,000 unlaunched Kickstarter projects were exposed. The good news?
