CGI Has Made Comic Book Movies Deeper
Comic Books have had a hard life. From the 20′s where they started as entertainment for everyone on a par with the Saturday morning serials shown at the cinemas, through hard times in the late 20th century they’ve had quite a rough ride. Being seen as a corrupting influence, communist propaganda, and kids stuff in [...]
New NIN Album Released Online
I apologise for the lateness of this news (it won’t be news to people who were paying attention) but this one completely passed me by, too much time spent in WoW methinks. (Note: clicking on the ‘read more’ link will lead you to what looks like a broken page, this is due to the embedded [...]
A Visual Feast.
My friend Tom from clearwood.co.uk, is in Barcelona, enjoying better weather than those he left behind and taking some amazing photographs. I sometimes find myself wishing I had his eye for the unusual and familiarly strange, I guess I just don’t pay that much attention to my surroundings.
Rising to the Challenge.
I challenged you to challenge me, I said ‘Anything goes,’ not suspecting that I would be handed a doozy of a first subject. What is the point of “living”? Everything rots to a stink. Love is a transient bloom, like bluebells, choking on the fumes of plenty. Every promise that we make our kids is [...]
Challenge Week 1
Come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough. In the comments on this post you can challenge me to post about any subject you like. I’ll pick the best one each week and produce a post on it. The content of the post will take a form which I choose, so if [...]
Opinons Please…
AS I may have told you, I’m off to Edinburgh on the 12th of August for the Edinburgh Interactive Festival. To that end I have been working on a couple of designs for business cards and a t-shirt, I’d like your opinions.
The Size of the Sky
You forget how big the sky is. When your horizons are restricted. Its not something you think about. When all you see are walls. You live your life among bricks and mortar. And lose the universe beyond. Go and stand on a hilltop. And enjoy the view. Remember how to wonder. At the scale and [...]
What does it take for a blogger to be recognised as a journalist?
Or: What do I have to do to get press passes to industry conferences? I’m planning on going to the Edinburgh Interactive Festival next month, if I can a) convince the wife that the £120 fee is worth it in the long run, or b) convince the organisers that I’m a member of the press [...]
Writing is hard
Don’t let anyone tell you different. I apologise to the few regular readers that I have for not posting more regularly but there are mitigating circumstances. You may remember that I posted a couple of months ago about my new job, writing for a gaming blog, well I’ve been sloggin away at that for a [...]
The World's Voice
This is a response to the many calls for regulation to be imposed upon the blogosphere, from government and from shameless self-publicists. I am the voice of the internet. I speak of many things. I speak of the highest ideals, and the lowest depravities. I talk for the just, the rich,the poor, and to the [...]
