Movie Roundup December 05
A great Christmas and a bunch of new films watched. Time for the second of my monthly Movie Roundups
Ghost Dog – Way of the SamuraiA wonderful film with Forest Whitaker as Ghost Dog, a hitman who follows the teachings of the Samurai. His master is a gangster who saved his life and is now his employer. A simple mistake, which wasn’t his fault, means that the gangsters want Ghost Dog killed which ...
Force-feedback headphones
I can’t work out whether I like the idea of force feedback headphones or not. It sounds uncomfortable whichever way you go.
Sound should be more than just heard. It should be felt, pulsing through your body like a grenade exploding at your six or the rumble of heavy turbulence. Your doctor will probably disagree, but what does he/she know about gaming anyway!
The fact they say the “doctor won’t like” it when trying to sell them should set alarm bells ...
9rules – here I come
Well, towards the end of last month, the 9rules team had a round of submissions to join their network. I submitted Binary Moon, never really expecting to get in, and on the first of December got an email from Paul, the head honcho, asking if I wanted to join.
I said yes.
Why did I join? Not sure really. Obviously there was the traffic aspect, there’s no point ...
EbayEd – Ebay Image Editor
About 5 months ago my Mum started using Ebay, she asked me to take some photos that she could use to show off what she was trying to sell – which I did. Problem was they were massive, I always take my photos at the highest size my camera supports (4/5 mega pixels, can’t remember exactly and too lazy to find out) and uploading a 3+ meg photo that will then be shrunk to 400 x 400 is pretty pointless, ...
Grow Ornament – Christmas Flash game
I’ve played all the Grow games and think they’re great so thought I’d mention that the latest one, Grow Ornament, has been released. It’s festive so get on over there and have a play.
This time there are only 6 objects in the puzzle which makes things a lot easier to work out. In fact this is the first one I have completed, on my own, without any help.
For those who haven’t played a Grow game before I’ve listed the ...
Free Icons
I like free stuff.
Mark from FamFamFam has released a whole stack of free icons, and I like them lots. I emailed him about some visual issues with his website and he tells me he has 150 icons ready to be released in the new year.
On the subject of icons, this is old news now but Icon Buffet have redesigned their site. One of the new features is free icons once a month. The cool part about this ...
That’s me that is!
They didn’t have my brand of glasses but otherwise this is a pretty much how I look. I don’t know if anyone’s noticed but I added a photo of me to the about page as well.

Chuck Norris – the facts
Chuck Norris – the facts.
Choice excerpts -
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
Chuck Norris defines love as the reluctance to murder. If you’re still alive, it’s because Chuck Norris loves you.
There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.
There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.
Someone in the comments points a blog post he she made where he she links too some random ...
