Is Your Software Scripture-Compliant?

I really don’t know whether this is real or a spoof. One the one hand I hope it’s a spoof, because really, come along now, but on the other I hope it’s real, because… that’s pretty amusing. There’s not much to say, it just amused me that someone out there thinks there’s a market for [...]

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Greatest Human Ever

This is obviously just a universal constant, a straight up fact that can’t be argued (you only need watch such masterpieces as Kindergarten Cop and it becomes readily apparent), but today news broke of a thing that happened that made his awesomeness even more awesome. It’s been written about in many different places but the [...]

RIP In Peace, GeoCities

So Yahoo closed GeoCities yesterday, and an era of the web came to an end. A pretty poor era full of shit animated gifs and midi files, sure, but an important one nonetheless. The LA Times has a good write up on it, which is fortunate because I’m lazy. Randall Munroe is rather less lazy, [...]

Forza 3 Video Editing: Part 1

So the built in ‘record video’ function can only do clips of up to 30 seconds in length, from one camera angle at a time, and takes an age to do it, which is bloody weird considering it does the same exact function in real-time while you’re playing. You then can’t access them directly via [...]

Forza 3: Pretty Damn Stonking

Remember the first time you played Mario 64, and it just felt so perfect, and so finely tuned, that it just couldn’t do anything wrong? That’s about how good I’m saying Forza 3 is. If you want to read more gushing, there’s some after the photo. That’s my E36 M3 right there. It feels exactly [...]

Scotland’s Turn For A Dab Of Insanity

Seems that guy Jesus is really trying hard to convince everyone he’s the guy to follow, as he’s now decided to show up on a toilet door in an Ikea in Glasgow. Coming hot on the heels of that marmite incident in Wales back in May, you’ve got to admit, this is some pretty strong [...]

Microsoft Have Done A Wonderful Thing*

They have made available, via some new fangled thing called Project Tuva, a series of lectures given by Richard Feynman at Cornell University in 1964. Entitled The Character of Physical Law, the 7 lecture series was given for Cornell’s Messenger Lectures, an annual event where a suitably grand guest speaker lectures on a suitably grandiose [...]

The Secret of the Sauce

I’ve known about Loading Ready Run for ages but never really investigated further, then today my dude Nathan sends me this, and it’s pretty hilarious. Hence: post.
