I'm a bit later than usual today due to visiting my Mum, David, Jasmine and Otis in Southampton today. Had a great time on the way over brainstorming various things including: content for my personal YouTube channel, how to work the Twitter machine, and if I can somehow combine them all with the posts here to pretty much automate the…

This week, I've been playing The Dreamerz - a point-and-click exploration and puzzle game set on a series of weird planetoids.

It's like nothing I've ever heard from a Halo game before. Created by Freemind and GrayLightning from OverClocked ReMix What do you think?

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This week on RGF, I'm playing a lovely little game called Mushbits. Visually it reminds me of a pink and blue game that I used to have on the Amiga - I cannot recall what it is called though. Which kind of defeats the purpose of me adding this…

This week has gone very fast. That Asda have decided to move around the Music and Video department didn't help, as for the past three shifts I have felt that I have had too much to do and not enough time in which to do it in. Little baby Flipper Stewart is doing well - getting big now, fast! Noticeably…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aryc3gSkLuk This is how you make the character creation music from Phantasy Star Online sound like it's from Outrun. I can't tell you how many hours I put into the character creation screens in PSO, never mind the game proper. So good. This captures the spirit of the original…

I started doing Friday updates…
