Incredulousness

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

My life has been turned upside down of late. Flatmates have upped and left me in the lurch, I’ve been busily trying to find some new people to fill the spots in and around work hours. This doesn’t really leave me much time for anything else, hence the lack of posts.

I either have to find someone or move again. Definitely as a last option. The rental market in Sydney is driving me crazy.

Hopefully, I’ll be back on track again soon. There’s been so much interesting news too that I have wanted to talk about, post-E3, but that will have to wait until I get this shitstorm sorted.

Keep the dream alive…

Saw this at Sprite Stitch.

Cool looking flower, a real live Fire flower in a Mario box planter.

Games Censorship in AU - continued

Friday, July 4th, 2008

Previously, I have talked about my distaste for the OFLC and the Australian government’s views on video games. Plus, Chippa wrote an excellent three-piece article on the censorship debacle.

I recently saw this video below created by Alex Gabbott, who is currently doing a Diploma in Film and Television Production at North Sydney TAFE. He covers off on the issue of video game censorship in Australia, in a style heavily inspired by Zero Punctuation.

“It’s an interesting look at the worrying state of freedom and democracy in this country.”

Busy bodies

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Sorry for the lack of posts… I’ve been pretty busy lately, I’ve been field testing some USB Digital TV tuners and this has taken up a lot of my time and energy.

That said, they are pretty interesting devices. They are a much cheaper solution that a set top box and PVR combined. You have all of the same features, in a small portable form and the software does all the hard work for you.

In my absence though, Microsoft announced a price drop of the X360. The base model, the Arcade edition (sans hard drive) is priced at $349 and is now cheaper than the Wii ($400) in Australia. Hopefully this should give a boost to it’s flagging sales. Other X360 bundles have also dropped in price - the Pro version with a 20GB hard drive costs $499 and the Elite, which features a 120GB hard drive, now costs $649.
