The same thing I do every year. Try to take take over the world! I mean uh... celebrating my friend's birthday. An (un)fortunate day for a birthday, depends on who you ask and how much your friends take the mickey out of you (which we do. A lot).

I can list on one hand the things that have made me cry. Fox and the Hound, seriously I just cannot watch this film because of that one scene, where the lady is driving the fox away (and I can't even remember what on earth else happens in this film). Toy Story 3 - Just that look that...

Well living in Swansea (& now Cardiff) basically means Doctor Who. Notably Swansea doubled as Nazi time Berlin in one episode, which I thought was pretty funny. I remember 3 years ago they were filming down in Cardiff Bay in the middle of January and we were up to like a foot of snow and poor...

Not only that but in the UK (I don't know about other countries) authors get paid a fee every time someone borrows one of their books from a public library (up to some limit). It's completely tiny like 5p or something which changes depending on circumstances; for instance my dad co-wrote a...

Has to be Red Dead for me. I spent far too many enjoyable hours picking flowers. There were manly things to do too...

I recent dug this out again, I'd forgotten how surprisingly good it is despite POTC being shoehorned in. It was a Sea Dogs sequel until Disney went looking for someone to make a POTC game to tie in with Curse of the Black Pearl release. The Black Pearl was added into the main story & Keira...

I agree it's no excuse. But you have to think... why take the risk of being decried for writing a certain kind of character when you could just have your general straight, white male and no one gives a flying fuck? Gaming needs to break out of this mould and have other kinds of characters as a...

You know what I love about the UK, we have half an inch of snow and the country is thrown into chaos, thanks to a bit of news scare mongering, and makes us look like a bunch of wimps. Although this year it was pretty bad tbh, there was a whole 2 inches! The horror! We don't really get extreme...

I love details. Like in Modern Warfare 3 in the London Underground level Mind the Gap, I stood looking at the Tube map on the wall, at all the parody names of the stations and had a good laugh at em. And I loved how it felt like I was actually going through Westminster station (because it felt...

I'm guessing it will be on the disc because most of the content will be done for the year before this ships. Why not put it on the disc? Why force people into downloading it & storing possibly huge amounts on their console when there's room to put it on the disc in the first place? Actually...

You guys have pretty much taken the words right out of my mouth. What I've found is that there's two situations that just you can't win: writing a female character and writing a gay character. And god forbid you ever write a lesbian because you will be absolutely fucking mauled for any little...

I have a vague memory of JJ saying he didn't want to do it because he was quite a big Star Wars fan and would have a lot to live up to just in his own mind. Although that might have been someone else... there were so many people weighing in on would they direct it I can't keep their 'no...

I follow an account on Twitter (tis also a website) that has a pretty good inside track into everything Disney. Yesterday they were basically saying that Disney are taking a heavily calculated risk & there's a lot of "security". A leak from Infinity isn't likely and its easier to leak...

I'll admit it. I quite like Glee. But I hate Fox. A lot of the guys in the background seem like complete arseholes. And Ryan Murphy has his head so far up his arse it's ended up looking like it's in the right place. This is a completely dick move. Just because some songwriters/labels send you...

I will probably faff about for hours trying to decide what game/film/tv show/book will be getting my attention tonight and just end up playing Skyrim again.
