The first time I touched this game was about 1.5 years ago at a friends house. I literally loaded it up, skipped the cut scenes and went straight to the game for 5 minutes. Needless to say, it was a pointless exercise. So 2 evenings, 5 hours and 5 deaths later, I’m pretty sure I’m [...]

People (guys) who know me, know that I never finish games. In fact, I didn’t even finish my games degree. I’d probably finished a handful of games in my lifetime, and I don’t see this changing anytime soon. There’s so much shit out there, I just don’t have the time! Yes, I am probably a [...]

Dali

Yesterday marked the last day of the Dali Exhibit at the NGV. Me and the girls managed to sneak in some cultural time on Friday before a full-on shopping spree at Bridge Rd; and I must say… it was worth it! A 30min wait in line for the tickets and a massive crowd wasn’t ideal, [...]

Avant

Going to go see “Coco Avant Chanel” tonight. Then I realised I didn’t know what “Avant” meant – fyi: it meants “before” or “pre-” The title is very clever. I will post a review once I’ve seen it. Anyway, as wiki does, it lead me to look up “Avant Garde” and I thought I’d share [...]

Heard all the raves about this movie. But was never quite convinced it would be as good as everyone made it out to be. I’ve seen my fair share of disappointing blockbusters, and what with the strange casting – Winona Ryder, Simon Pegg, Chris Hemsworth (C’mon- from Home and Away???) I just wasn’t sure. Not [...]

Glourious Tarantino

Tarantino’s always had a way of making extreme violence artistic and watchable and dare I say it… FUN; and I’m thinking it’ll be the same in his next film “Inglourious Basterds” (no I didn’t spell that wrong). Can’t wait for this to come out, although I’m pretty sure we won’t get this in Australia till [...]

Have been fiddling around with “A’s” iTouch, and playing with apps all weekend and gotten hooked on tower defense games – geo defense and field runners. So now that I’ve reluctantly returned the iTouch to “A”, I went searching for something for my DS… nada… well almost nada, the homebrew Warcraft Tower Defense doesn’t strike [...]

Where Are the Wild Things?

I think the majority of us have grown up with or at least heard/seen Where the Wild Things Are. I enjoyed it as a kid, but was never in-love with it. But that’s sort of changed. I knew the movie was coming out and went all nostalgic and dug up the picture book… it’s awesome [...]
