For those of you who don’t know this masterpiece by Richard Curtis (yes the one behind Four Weddings, Blackadder and [...]

Well I warned people on twitter and facebook to expect a Virgin Media rant, so here it is. But first a little history of my relationship with Virgin Media, it hasn’t always been so bad years ago I vividly remember a company called NTL digging up the roads around my home town and laying cable everywhere. For some reason my strongest memory of this was the ever present scent of tar. Soon after we promptly signed up for NTL cable and were extremely happy with the service. Read more »
Six months ago I bought my first DSLR a Sony Alpha a200 and a selection of lenses, and wanted to learn photography for my trip to Florida. So as with anything I teach myself I hit the internet, and found a lot of confusing tutorials, blogs and videos and was bombarded with terms ISO…..apeture….f stop….etc etc.
You may or may not have noticed the logo for my blog changing randomly, so I thought I would give you a bit of background information. Basically I couldn’t settle on a logo design I liked so I decided to create homages to my favourite TV shows, films and games and use them instead.
It’s almost Christmas and despite not having bought a single present there is one thing on my mind, something that without fail I do every year. It’s almost time to watch Bernard and the Genie.
For those of you who don’t know this masterpiece by Richard Curtis (yes the one behind Four Weddings, Blackadder and Red Nose Day), it is a feel good Christmas film starring Read more »
So now that I have my new Boxee Box hooked up to my telly I have decided to re-watch Game of Thrones with my fiance (she hasn’t seen it yet). I have also decided to watch it with Spanish subtitles so that hopefully my Spanish will improve. I am enjoying it so far as much if not more than the first time I watched it. Read more »

So I am reading the latest George RR Martin book after reading all of the Song of Ice and Fire series since Game of Thrones finished a few months ago. I have never been so engrossed in a book before however with the next installment “The Winds of Winter” not yet having a release date, I am reluctant to finish this one.
After 3 years I am re-watching Jericho, mainly because me, my girlfriend Thais, and my housemates Nicki and Amy were stuck for something to watch. So with my Boxee machine just sitting there with 2 seasons of Jericho on it I pressed play on episode 1, with the pretence of “I’ll leave it on for 10 minutes, if you don’t like it I will switch it off”. Three hours later, 3 episodes watched with everyone engrossed.
I have long been a FPS fan since the days of Goldeneye on the N64, Quake 3, AvP, DoD:S TF2 but I was relatively late to the Battlefield ball game, the first Battlefield game I played was Bad Company 2 but once I played multiplayer I was hooked. The visuals, the gameplay, the teamwork, the sound all were perfect BC2 quickly became my go to FPS.
