Top Gear – 1964 Peel P50
Anyone else see this on Sundays episode of Top Gear. We got to talking about it in the office today so I thought I would look it up and post it here. Basically Jeremy Clarkson tries out the 1964 Peel P50. It's not the type of high end sports car they normally feature but he seems to love it... and I laughed all the way through the entire thing. In fact watching it again just now set me off all ...
Run, Fat boy, Run
Went to see Run, Fat boy, Run at the cinema the other day. It was really good.
I've become a bit of a fan of Simon Pegg, Hot Fuzz being one of the big reasons why. Somehow he has made being a geek quite cool, and that can only be a good thing. However if you go into Run Fatboy Run expecting something like Hot Fuzz or Shaun of the Dead then you are likely to be rather disappointed.
Athlete at Norwich LCR
Shortly before we went to see Damien Rice my girlfriend bought tickets for us to go and see Athlete at the Norwich UEA LCR (University of East Anglia LCR... don't know what the last bit means). Last night it was finally time to go see them, and we had a great time.
It was actually part of the UK tour for their new album, Beyond the Neighbourhood and naturally I hadn't listened to it, so I spent the whole day ...
Star Wars pixelled
Someone has too much time on his hands...
Joshua Budich is a Star Wars fan and part time pixel artist. He has collected loads of the Star Wars figures and, to show his joy, has turned them all into tiny little pixel portraits.
Technically the art is a little lacking but, rather impressively, the characters are all recognisable (assuming you know the characters to start with).
He's even turned it into a small interactive flash thing to ...
Wall-E from Pixar
The similarities with Johnny 5 are obvious but I don't care - and I always loved that film (Short Circuit) anyway.
I also think that Pixar are one of the best film studios in the world. Their movies have a sense of heart and feeling that others can't touch.
More info on Wall-E is available at IMDB.
Incredible Machine
I've seen a few of these before but never one as long and complex as this. I can't imagine the patience it must have taken to put it all together.
Roll – Flash Game
My blogging has been rather slow for the last few weeks. I have a number of small posts lined up for publishing but haven't had the time to finish any of them. Thankfully it hasn't just been laziness - I have actually been doing something.
I've been making a game in Adobe Flash.
The ReasonI decided to make the game when I saw a game development competition over on Jayisgames.com. I've read the site ...
Ratatouille out this week
In the UK Ratatouille is coming out this week (Friday 12th to be precise). I got to see a preview screening of it a couple of months ago and loved every moment (read my review here). I highly recommend everyone go and see it (and suspect I may go again).
One thing that has changed, and I can't decide if this is good or not, is that the voice of the restaurant critic has been ...
