I took part in the Destiny Beta and managed to go on one 3-person fireteam raid. It’s a good format. This is why we’ve three Guardians doing the tour in this very impressive trailer for launch day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZyQK6kUdWQ I’m impressed with the group balance here.

I wondered whether it might be scary running across the rooftops of Gotham city, jumping from gargoyle to gargoyle only to throw yourself through a skylight and into the combat below.

Do you want? Dyson’s 360 Eye
I’ll put my hands up. I want this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OadhuICDAjk There have been iRobot’s Roomba cleaners around for a while. I’ve always wanted one. My tiny Leith flat has wooden mini-steps between each room and the hallway so I’ve never got one. My assumption is that the little Roomba had no chance of making it from […]
Funky! Spirit of 77 Kickstarter rolls in the wonga
Spirit of 77 mixes in classic 70s sci-fi with action, glam music and even kung-fu. Sound ambitious? Not your cup of tea? I worried but when I read through the free to download Cruise Ship of the Damned I was won over. I’m not alone. At the time of writing the Spirit of 77 Kickstarter […]
Netflix secures Gotham
Here I was worrying that Gotham would roll out on an American cable network and may never get any further than that. Warner Bros’s worldwide television department have announced a deal with Netflix that will take the series across the sea. From 2015, each season of the series will be made available to Netflix members […]
