Arrivederci Party!

Thanks to all those who came out on Saturday. It was great to see everyone together at once, and we went home feeling very special indeed. The rest of the mugshots are up on flickr.

Gears of War screenplay outline (SPOILARZ)

For those of us who love this game, this is probably as close to a back-story as we’re going to get.

Father of PlayStation retires from Sony

According to Eurogamer, Ken Kutaragi is retiring from his role as CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment. Kaz Hirai will be replacing Kutaragi as CEO.
I have to say, I’m more than a little disappointed by this news. Double-crazy double-K was always always good for an entertaining quote. Almost everything out of his [...]

Guide Books

I’m fast becoming an expert on guide books to Rome. So far, my favourite is “City Secrets: Rome“. I like it because it lists the things to see and places to eat followed by a short anecdote by someone who knows the place well, and explains why they recommend it in real, [...]

Guitar Hero 2 and OS X

I think my previous post on Guitar Hero 2 gave some idea of how disappointed I was by this game. So why the hell did I go out and re-buy it for the Xbox 360?

Evenings in Roma

Ah, Roma.

Getting ready to say goodbye

When we were told that H. was being posted abroad, I got scared. Actually, let me rephrase that. I’m not ashamed to admit that I was terrified. I knew it was coming, but I’d hoped that… I dunno… they’d forget about her. Forget to tell her to move. Or [...]
