Whilst I pad for time in making a decision about the winners of the DVD competition (an action which will take me approximately 60 seconds), I thought I’d let you know an interesting thing.
Whilst spending some time with the mad nuclear scientist Dodd and badger-fanatic BadgerJam from TeamTeabag at the weekend, we decided that the [...]

We interrupt the ramblings and generally incomprehensible nonsense on Randomlinkage to bring you a special news update regarding the nightmarish, almost apocalyptic water CRISIS occurring in Northamptonshire at present.
As you may have seen on the national news, water supplies to much of Northamptonshire have been contaminated with some sort of virus parasite type thing which is [...]

1927, Deepest Scotland…
John Logie Baird: Quickly Wifey! To my study! For I have inventorised something quite splendid indeed!
Mrs Logie Baird: Reduce your enthusiasm Man, for I am seated right next to you as I have been for three hours at your request.
John Logie Baird: Forgive me Wifey, but my dab-handedness with gizmos is about to [...]

This is one for all the fans of the Half Life world. Not interested in Half Life? Never played it? Never mind, you won’t have to read this and it’ll save you a few minutes of precious life.
For us Half Life geeks amongst us, you might have heard of the comic ‘Concerned‘. It’s an online [...]

That’s right folks! The arrival of June 20th means that it must be… COMPETITION TIME!
Previous competitions on Randomlinkage have been shams, mere whispered promises of untold wealth that were never realised. But this competition has a prize. An actual, proper prize, that, should you win, I shall post/deliver to your door.
What of the prize? Well, as [...]

I imagine you’re wondering something along the lines of “What are those scary eyes at the top of this post all about?” Well I shall enlighten you.
They are, in fact… my eyes. My eyes, taken from screenshots produced by the brilliantly comical but ultimately inconsequential Face Transformer, provided courtesy of the University of St Andrews.

*read the below as a sort of cinema trailer read by a chap with a really deep voice… please… go on, humour me*
In a time when the world economy is shaky, when a humble loaf of bread is quite expensive and when you have to remortgage your house just to fill your car with fuel, [...]

I’m man enough to admit that the clip above, provided courtesy of YouTube’s magical video delivery system (which must surely be powered by witchcraft), made me cry.
When I was a child, I watched the Transformers film. This was back in the day before spoilers and previews, so I really didn’t know what to expect. I [...]

It’s been over a year since I began my violent war on crime.
Sadly, my frequent beatings of Mr Penge for thieving pens from the post office were all in vain and I had to settle for playing Crackdown instead. Lots.
But as always happens, shinier games intervened and Crackdown was bumped to the bottom of the [...]

You’re probably wondering what’s been going on round here lately. My contributions have been somewhat poor, with a link to a naff video of Star Trek’s Will Riker and my plans to have a sandwich being the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel. As for Mr Trench, he has become somewhat irregular in his [...]

Hi there everyone. Please, watch this…

No, I don’t know what’s going on either. Time for a lie down.

For X-Files geeks the world over, the trailer for the second film, somewhat unimaginatively called “I Want to Believe” is now available for viewing.
Click here to be whisked away to IMDB.com, where you will be sat down in a comfortable chair and fed caviar whilst you watch the trailer. All 84 seconds of it. When you’ve [...]

One of the upcoming games that is an absolute dead cert for me to buy is Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii. Myself and my esteemed colleagues Doctor Bevan and Evil Lord Bray have wasted many hours of our lives enjoying the sight of Jigglypuff getting smashed in the face with a baseball bat. [...]
