And here they are (in no specific order): …read more

Firstly, what is War Child? War Child (http://www.warchild.org.uk/) is a UK based organisation who aim to protect children win war zones around the world. They do this by reintegrating child soldiers into families, separating children from adults in prisons, lobbying politicians to do more for children affected by war and many more wonderful things.

Secondly, what is the Heroes album? This album is a collaboration of some of the world’s best known musicians, past and present. The idea is genius: get 15 music legends to pick a song from their back catalogue and then allow them to select a current recording artist or band to interpret their song.

Thirdly, the result. The result is generally excellent. Now, I don’t generally understand the point of a cover if it’s just going to be done in the same way as the original. There needs to be a huge part of the covering artist in the song for me to appreciate it. This is achieved …read more

The Lost and The Damned is the first episode of Downloadable Content for Grand Theft Auto 4. It basically creates a whole new game, and you play the role of Johnny Kibbutz, the baddest Jewish biker in Liberty City. (In My Opinion)

Forget everything you think you know about this game. Johnny is no Niko Bellic.

Where the story of Niko was about an immigrant trying to find his own way in a world he doesn’t understand per se, the story of Johnny is different. …read more

I was browsing the web on my iPhone during some quiet time at work today and I stumbled upon some news that literally made my day.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Samuel L. Jackson (B.M.F) has signed an EPIC NINE Movie deal with Marvel for Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, The Avengers and more!!

The report also reveals that a S.H.E.I.L.D. movie is in the works. Fuck Yeah!

The other four I’m assuming would be sequels! BOOYAH! …read more

GameSetWatch have posted a great article about how game difficulty levels can effect a game and how important it is to get the difficulty settings and the way that they are presented right.

“1. Don’t Make Players Start Over To Change Difficulty

Make it easy to switch difficulty whenever the player wants. This may have been somewhat more difficult last-gen, but not appreciably so, so I’m not prepared to give Buffy a pass for this. …read more

This album starts of so well. Everyone’s At It and the first single, The Fear, are great. Both are catchy and epitomise that Lily Allen cynicism that we came to know and love with Alright Still. Unfortunately, for me, it’s all down hill after these two tracks.

The rest of this album is quite tedious and predictable. It all sounds the same. It’s fine if you catch a lone track here and there but to listen to it from beginning to end isn’t a great experience. Lily, like many of today’s youth is apparently upset with way the world is going and seems to have little faith in the people who are running the place and has brought these views to her work. Unfortunately it just comes across like we’re being preached to. This theme is fairly repetitive throughout the album and spurred the earlier “tedious and predictable” comment. …read more
