What’s not as well known is that she’s also the author of Postcards from the Edge, which was later adapted into the award winning all-star Oscar-nominated dramafest film of the same name (with Meryl Streep, Shirley [...]

Great OOTS today

The Order of the Stick web comic is one of my favourite web diversions. I have fond memories of being a Dungeons and Dragons basement dork back in the days before I knew about exciting things like women, the outdoors, socialising, sport, sunlight,  and… Well, most things.

Review: Motorstorm Pacific Rift!

The original Motorstorm was the first game I experienced on the PS3, and I played it to death. The graphics were fantastic, and the gameplay, despite being difficult to master at times, appealed to my inner madman.

GTI Club+ coming soon to PS3!

I’ve always been a fan of racing games. The first one I ever played was on an old Apple II Europlus, and it consisted of a bunch of full-stops (periods) sliding by to form the track. Things have changed a lot since then, as evidenced by the upcoming release of GTI Club+ on the Playstation [...]
