Schools, Gee argues, are giving kids the manuals (text book) and asking them to learn for themselves, in an environment that doesn’t effectively cater to their personal needs and issues (see next heading) where the rules are unclear. In video game, the rules are easy to learn because they’re a part [...]

Uncharted Unwanted - Posted 15:27 Friday 29 Jan 2010
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 2 is [...]
Short SOCOM clip - Posted 18:27 Sunday 24 Jan 2010
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 sure [...]
Favela with a knife. - Posted
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 [...]

“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 will [...]

Ipod touch now jailbroken. Each time I do this I wonder why then reverse it then see something cool I could use/try. So this time I’ll stick with it. Takes longer to restore it anyway. PSP also modded to the latest custom firmware so time to get a couple of large mem sticks and get [...]
