A brief history of sex in video games
An amusing & educational look at the history of sex in video games. Sex has been around in games for almost as long as game have existed. Sure, there’s lot’s of controversy now, but really – is it needed? There’s so much more violence than sex in games, and sex is required for the survival of the human race whereas violence… isn’t.
Anyway the video is by Daniel Floyd who’s a student (not a professor) at Savannah College of ...
How I built BenGillbanks.co.uk in a little over 2 hours
Quite some time ago I purchased BenGillbanks.co.uk thinking it would be a good idea to own my own name as a domain. But then I didn’t do anything with it.
The other day I decided it was time to sort it out so I proceeded to develop the thing.
ConceptFrom the start I wanted the site to be a single page, with links to all my sites and a Twitter feed. I wanted to use a dark colour scheme, and I ...
Wall-E in real life
Found a video of Wall-E on Electroplankton and am loving it. This has to be the best marketing campaign ever.
Oh – and case you’ve missed it. Wall-E is the latest, soon to be hit, movie from the ridiculously clever folks at Pixar.

Star Wars Animated series
My Starwars loving side has got plenty to be happy about at the moment – the Clone Wars 3d cartoons are on their way!
I absolutely adored the 2d versions (in particular the superior 2nd series) and this trailer looks like it will ignite my passion for Starwars once more… if it hasn’t already.
According to the BBC the animated Clone Wars will kick off with a movie length version later this year, and then continue with a tv series. ...
The trials and tribulations of maintaining multiple websites
As all 3 of my regular readers know, I run more than one website. My main ones are Binary Moon (this site), Binary Joy, Binary Sun, and Pro Theme Design. 3 of these 4 sites are blogs… and blogs need content.
I am currently finding it very hard to keep updating these sites. Binary Joy is relatively easy to sort out – there is always games news to write up. Binary Sun doesn’t need maintenance, it can take ...
