Build me up, buttercup

I spent yesterday afternoon building a shelf with Donny – major thanks there, dude… couldn’t have done it without you. I stained it today and will put a satin varnish on it tomorrow and mount it on the back wall of our lounge room. On the other side of the room, I’ve rearranged the equipment [...]

I’ve only played this game for a couple of hours in total, but I knew I was going to love it when a citizen that was trying to thank me for rescuing her was being drowned out by the dying screams of a guard whom I’d just stabbed in the stomach. Laugh? I nearly died.

I already had the Blade Runner box set pre-ordered, and upon reading this I added [...]

I was doing some searching for an HDMI-DVI adapter to hook the PS3 up to my LCD monitor, and found that Dick Smith are selling Monster HDMI cables for $300 for a 1.5 metre length. People, that’s a horrific ripoff. You can buy a cable – even in expensive stores – for $40 or less [...]
Sometimes you eat the bear…

…and sometimes the bear eats you. I just cancelled my order for Rock Band. There are supply issues, there are issues with broken hardware and I’m low on funds. It just seems better to give up on it and have another look at it in a few months time, say March or April. Kind of [...]
