I’m sure most people know about this but the ability to post things in advance with WordPress is absolutely great. My two blogs (this one and Binary Joy) posted 16 articles whilst I was on holiday despite me not being...
As mentioned a couple of weeks ago I have been workng on an update to Regulus. There are only a couple of small changes to the main Regulus file. The big change is the addition of translations. German translation Italian...
Binary Joy is a website dedicated to video games, but not just any games. Good games. Games you enjoy. We will feature any game, as long as the person doing the writing enjoys what they are playing. This means that...
I said in my last post about Regulus that it would be the last version of the theme released. As far as I was concerned it was complete. Since then a few small things have cropped up and these will...
Starwars.com are showing some cool comparisons of the original Star Wars movie and the edited versions (DVD and cinema re-releases) showing how things were changed/ improved. [Episode IV: A New Hope](http://starwars.com/episode-iv/release/video/f20060825/index.html “Star Wars: Episode IV Episode IV: What Has Changed?”)...
The Transporter 2Shorter than the first movie, the Transporter 2 has is a very simple movie, and seems to have been made simply to look good. The bad guys all seemed a bit old but Jason Statham was suitably cool...
I have been rather late jumping on the Firefly and Serenity band wagon. I first saw Serenity a while ago and wasn’t overly impressed. I wasn’t disappointed by any means, but I just didn’t “get it”. I’m guessing the reason...
About a BoyA mildly amusing comedy with Hugh Grant, Rachel Weisz, and a few people I have never heard of. It was a lot better than I expected, Hugh Grant plays the same character he always plays and makes a...
The old Miniclip website was a nostalgic playground for gamers, filled with simple flash games ideal for wasting time on. Unfortunately it is no more. This post was written in 2006. As of 2015 I no longer work at Miniclip....
I have literally just received some comment spam on my blog. Nothing unusual in this, I get 50/60 comment spams on Binary Moon every day.What is strange is that it made sense. It was a genuine comment from Channel 4...
I’ve been meaning to post about this for a while and this post by tech blogger Jeremy Keith reminded me about it. This is slightly different to the average post you’d find here on Binary Moon, so if you want...
ChocolatA rather nice little story about a lady who makes everyone happy, apart from herself, with the healing power of chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised by this film and would recommend it to anyone who wants something nice and peaceful...
I keep finding links to things that interest me but aren’t worthy of a post for themselves. Normally I would post them as links but there are so many of the things at the moment that I thought I would...
A couple of weeks ago I was taken to New York for the 10th annual Webby Awards. Miniclip, the company I work for, had won the peoples voice award for gaming and the boss was kind enough to invite me...

Star Wars – Clone Wars – Series 2Not the movie but the cartoon series. Saw the first series a while ago and, whilst I thought it was ok, wasn’t overly impressed. The main problem was a lack of narrative –...
I’d been looking forward to Shadow of the Colossus for some time, and on the 17th of February 2006 it was finally released in the UK.For the uneducated, Shadow of the Colossus is the follow up (but not a sequel...
I am almost as excited about this as I am about the new Zelda game (almost, but not quite). New Super Mario Brothers wallpaper Head on over to the official, New Super Mario Brothers, website to get all the info...
This was definitely Nintendo’s year at E3. They wiped the floor with everyone, having the most compelling games and most innovative hardware.I’ve already done a very brief summary of the 3 big conferences over at the 9rules blog but I...
Went to the cinema the other day to see Mission Impossible 3.Unfortunately I can’t decide whether I liked it or not. There was lots of action, some of it quite cool, and it was a lot more emotional than previous...
Analyze ThisOne for the ‘Not what I expected’ pile. I know it was loved when released but for me it underperformed. Didn’t help that I was ill when I was watching it, which meant that I couldn’t concentrate properly.William Shakespeare’s...
