I am. Well, I was.. I mean I have… in the cinema. Erm, uhm, you know? Actually, let’s start this again shall we?
The first draft of this review turned out to be a complete disaster. I had initially wanted to ‘describe and rate the total experience I had: the place, the cinema, and the film.‘ [...]
Four things Sony can do to turn the tide for the PS3 in 2009- 1) Drop the f*$&#*%^ price, 2) Get serious about online, 3) Stop making us wait for Thursday, 4) Remember that games are for fun. I’d say that points 1) and 2) are the most important as the PS3 DOES need a [...]

This is a guest post by Elle, who you may remember from the old City In The Clouds blog. She now blogs at elle87.wordpress.com

You can think of this as part 2 of my previous post, ‘An insight into how faulty PS3s are dealt with‘. That article dealt with the straightforward replacement of a faulty console and the issues surrounding warranties. This article deals with backing up the data of your PS3, and when things go wrong…

This has been bugging me for quite a bit, but across various forums and websites I’ve seen gamers talk about their PS3 games collections that are absolutely huge- we’re talking 50 games plus. Sure, you can pick up some games for a reasonable £30, but most of the latest releases are around £40. I’ve seen [...]
You won’t be finding any Magpie ads in my twitterstream- The BBC’s dot.life blog sums the whole process up nicely: “It’s a very simple three-stage process. (1) Sign up to Magpie. (2) Ad-tweets appear in your stream. (3) All your followers block you.” I’d just like to add that this idea goes against everything Twitter [...]
Sony on PS3 price: We’ve a business to run- And people have got food to buy, fuel bills to pay. I’d say a PS3 could be considered a luxury these days. In all honesty, I agree that Sony have some fantastic games coming in the pipeline, but the Xbox 360 is sooo much cheaper. Why [...]

All the headings you see below are scattered thoughts and opinions of mine. They don’t necessarily follow on from each other.

I just felt compelled to write this piece as I’ve directly had issues with iTunes and now, all my issues have just melted away, like ice in the spring you might say.
Let’s rewind to 2006, shall we? Windows Media Player 11 was released and it debuted with a new visual look, which was nice. Anyhow, [...]
