On tuesday night, as part of an early birthday treat, I settled down in Northampton’s Derngate Theatre to watch the new Mitchell and Webb live sketch show. And jolly splendid it was too.
For those that are unaware, Mitchell and Webb are two comedians who you might know from television’s Peep Show (though they didn’t write [...]

In Japan, if someone is photographed or filmed while handcuffed, their hands have to be pixelated if it is used on TV or in the newspapers. This is because someone who had been arrested brought a successful case to court arguing that being pictured in handcuffs implied guilt, and had prejudiced the trial.
Wikipedia said it, [...]

In a piece of news that makes you sit up and think “Ah, excellent, people have finally seen the light”, the BBC report that the new Nintendo Wii has battered Sony’s PS3 in the North American market. Wii sales stand at 600,000 after 8 days, PS3 sales stand at 200,000 sales after 10 days. Ooh, [...]

This is another brief message, this time for those folk who, when asked what gift they might have purchased you for Christmas, say “Ooh, that’d be telling!”:
DESIST FROM SPEAKING AND NEVER UTTER ANOTHER WORD EVER AGAIN
Of course it’d be telling, that’s why you were asked, moron. If you’re capable of speaking such utterly obvious trite [...]

Dirty Sanchez: The Movie
I would hazard a guess that at least one scene was not supervised by the RSPCA.

Ahhh, Kajiu Shakedown, without you I would never have known more about the antics of Jackie Chan than perhaps I would like to.
Jackie is busy at work milking his US cash cow, aka. the Rush Hour franchise, and is thankfully keeping us all up to date with all things Jackie via his on-set diary. Better [...]

I’m not a fan of the ‘dance music’ that the youth of today are so fond of. I find it a bit repetitive, a tad soulless and altogether quite distinctly crap. However, this is not to say that I can’t appreciate talent where I see it.
When I see certain DJ’s doing mixing with ‘the decks’ [...]

Amongst the hairs upon my head are a few rogue elements that don’t conform to the colouring of the rest. Instead of the dark brown colour that most of the hairs are, there are those exceptional ones that I like to call a ’sterling silver’ colour. They aren’t grey. Grey is for old folk. Sterling [...]

I’d say it’s pretty much a 100% ‘Yes’ response rate if you asked people born in the 1980’s “Did you have Lego?”. I had Lego. I loved Lego. I had the Pirate ships, the fire station, spaceships, loads of stuff. A truly fantastic ‘toy’.
But now we are all older, so much older, so very, very [...]

The Shooting Stars team do The A-Team.
Mercenary 1: Oooh! Oooohh! Oooooh, oh heck, look Dan!
Mercenary 2: I know, they’ve modified the van!

A mere few hours ago I was cursing, fuming and on the verge of tears. My PC was nearly dead, gone, doomed and in need of expensive repairs. But here I am, writing this, safe and well. This little story may get a bit technical so those folk who don’t know anything about computers should [...]

Want to buy a map piece?
IGN have posted their review of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Long story short?
9.5
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is, in my opinion, the greatest Zelda game ever created and one of the best launch titles in the history of launch titles – second only, perhaps, to the at-the-time ground-breaking [...]

Updated: Zelda & Madden 07 scores added.
Wii sprays liberally all over of America from tomorrow. Accordingly, reviews are starting to come in. I’d advise keeping an eye on Metacritics list of Wii titles.
Or if you’re lazy, just peruse IGN’s Wii section, as along with Eurogamer they’re the only two review sites I read.
Summary of IGN’s [...]

In a somewhat implausible piece of news, it looks like a dance track about Cillit Bang might be making the Christmas number one…
Click here for evidence of this madness.
Behold the amazing remix and video delight. Prepare the laughter pants!
That’s right, the Cillit Bang Remix, made famous by the internet and it’s magical tubes, is being [...]

An amazing bit of new technology, which is a t-shirt that allows you to play real music with an air-guitar, has been called a
“wearable instrument shirt”
Great. That’ll sell. I suppose that’s what happens when you let science-nerds get excited. Oh but wait, what’s this?
By customising the software, the team has also tailored the technology to [...]
