Uncharted Unwanted
Uncharted 2. Had no internet for the morning / early afternoon so I started this game. After quite some time I ejected the disc and it will be traded. It scores 96 at Metacritic. Some quotes: Playstation Official Magazine UK: Unless you’re born without thumbs, eyes or a sense of humour, it’s obvious that Uncharted [...]
Not talking
The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them – words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important [...]
Short SOCOM clip
Caught just to check the quality. Like the video below used a flip HD, gorillapod, toolbox and this time the room lights were off. That probably explains the central glare. File taken from the machine was imported into iMovie then exported as Large. It was then uploaded to wordpress.com from where it is served. Not [...]

Favela with a knife.
I usually do better on this map with a knife so it’s far from my best. First game too and it takes me at least one to get the reaction speed high enough. Filmed using a a Flip HD assisted by a large toolbox and Gorillapod to get the right height. It is remarkably abuse [...]

Been watching
Been watching a few films. 21 which is apparently based in the book Bringing down the house. The film is terrible. Shallow in every respect. Avoid. The book is excellent though and is highly recommended. Hackers. Angelina Jolie. Mildly diverting in parts and if you have a clue about computers you need to forget them. [...]
Modern Warfare 2: game in progress
“Find Game” is not good enough. It should give 2 options of “Find new game” or “Find existing game”. And why won’t it? Because almost no-one would join the latter. If I get joined into an existing game the first thing I do is check the scores. If there is 1 death or less I [...]
The BBC. Biased. Again.
Scots ‘drink 46 bottles of vodka’ says the completely sensationalist BBC. I think the average bottle of vodka (750ml) contains 30 units (25ml / shot). The government want us to drink no more than 21 units a week but this number is completely made up, has no basis, is as useful as pretending that badgers [...]

One term for some.
“If Google goes Baidu will be the only giant in China’s search engine market. A monopolised market can’t be healthy,” said Cao Junbo, chief analyst at iResearch. Guardian Google’s market share outside of China: 85.3% http://marketshare.hitslink.com or 87% according to HitWise. So who should really be concerned?
Cheatwell games and Technoballs
Your Name: Mark Subject: Techno Balls Message: Hi, Just tried to build the Techno Balls. I’ve given up. I’ve built MFI, I’ve built dolls houses for my girls and I can do IKEA half asleep but the views and lack of detail just mean I’ve run out of time. How to apply the wires is [...]
