Yet another chiptune for your listening pleasure....
“‘Very poorly explained…that is incorrect, the Kappa is more commonly...”
– Professor Snape in Chaper 9 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I wonder how many people from Japan 08 picked up the reference to our ‘half-cucumber’ friend from Ushiku.

Thoughts on Harry Potter
Several weeks after almost everyone else in the civilised world, I finally went to see the new Harry Potter film last weekend. It was good, let me tell you that much, but almost straight after I left the theatre, a few thoughts arose in my mind which I’d like to share with you today.
My first impression of the film was, as I said before, wonderful. It was witty, funny at times, dark at...

Holiday To-do list
School holidays start today (well, technically tomorrow), and there are a number of things that I really want to get done. Whats the best way to get things done? Closing facebook seems to work well, as does organising it so that people will yell at you if you don’t get things done.
That is essentially what I’m doing here with my list of things i want to do in the holidays. In no...

Review: Spelunky!
(I’m quite enjoying this whole reviewing thing, so I might try and make it a weekly feature. Who knows! I don’t, that’s for sure!)
Introduction: This week’s game is Spelunky, by Derek Yu. Spelunky is a cute little freeware game that’s almost a perfect cross between a roguelike and platform game. If you don’t understand what I mean by that now, hopefully you...

Review: Shaiya
Warning: Image truly indicative of actual game quality.
Introduction: This morning, I decided that (just for fun), I would download and have a play of the MMORPG Shaiya. I’ve been steering away from this game for a while now, mainly because of the terrible ads scattered all across the internet which are obviously targeting a very specific demographic (if you haven’t seen them, here...
Macbeth: Act 1, Scene 3, Lines 1-2
First Witch: Where hast thou been, sister?
Second Witch: Killing swine.
(I thought this was appropriate).
“Hickey, you need to learn to ****ing relax. I swear, I’m going to buy you...”
– A first-year uni student at Bodhi. Their table was very loud and argumentative. This was possibly a had-to-be-there quote, but I found it quite funny.
WatchThis started happening a fair while ago now - whenever I move the sides with any speed at all, the cube simply falls apart. That wouldn’t be too much of a pain, except that the only enjoyment I get out of the cube is by doing it really, really fast. See my predicament?

“Q: Assess the impact of increased access to electricity by isolated communities...”
– This was my answer to question 30 of our half yearly physics exam. Yes, it is ridiculous and stupid. Have a good laugh now, because I’d like to take a paragraph or two to explain the justification for writing something so obviously stupid.
Firstly, it was the last question I attempted in the...
E3 Wrap-up
So, I watched the Nintendo E3 press conference via the internet this morning. I know, I’m a couple of days late, but it’s the first chance I’ve had due to exams. It was reasonably lengthy, and was no way near the failure of last year’s conference, yet for me, there still wasn’t a whole lot to be excited about. Here are the main items talked about during the...
Obligatory First Post
So, I decided to make a tumblelog.
My blog has been rather dead for a good couple of months now, and so in an attempt to ‘spice things up’ a little, I’m switching to Tumblr. Compared to blogspot, it has to be said that Tumblr is pretty damn user friendly, so hopefully that will inspire me to post more often. After all,
A tumblelog is a variation of a blog that favors short-form,...
