"I reclaim this blog in the name of Mars!"

One year, two months and twelve days since the last post here!

Do I win some kind of prize?

(Assuming that someone, somewhere, ever reads this...) ;-)

Before & after retouching pictures of models.

Just wait a bit after the pic loads then roll your mouse over it to see the pre-retouch version.

Hey look! It's a PC demo for that game I was working on:

here

I guess that means it's coming out soon.

Can anyone guess who this is?

I had a dream last night that I'd grown breasts. They were quite nice.

But for some reason, I was really upset & unhappy about it.

That is all.

This is pretty - shame I'm not foreignized enough to actually read much of it. The game is at about my level though.

from http://www.juiceenewsdaily.com/0605/entertainment/atari_mel.html

"Melbourne, Australia – Australia's oldest video game development studio is working on a PlayStation®2 port of Eden Games' Test Drive: Unlimited, the latest in the Test Drive series."

...

"Sources close to the studio have confirmed that the title in development is a PS2 port of Eden's next-generation Xbox 360 game."

Let's read that again shall we, just to make sure we have the facts straight.

"...the title in development is a PS2 port of Eden's next-generation Xbox 360 game."

Now if you will excuse me, I must return to my job in the games industry that doesn't involve porting someone else's game to a far less powerful console.

This is f#@cking gold.

Naomi Robson, of Today Tonight fame has a spack out.

And here's the relevant audio.

No doubt it was actually the results of some fat, unemployed lebanese builders kids who were trying to rip her off, while bludging on the dole and tearing their family apart with their terror tantrums.

...

Makes you think, doesn't it?

Howdy all,

In the words of Vlad the Impaler, "Nimeni told eu acolo trec.de la will a fi days asemanator this. Drept days a cresta. Most drept mama. Oh da!"

Was hoping to make an unscheduled, unannounced visit to Penford-Dennis-ville sometime this week, to see how much more eerily sentient young Abe/Bram has become since Launch Date, but life has once again gotten in the way, albeit in an oddly appropriate way.

For yea verily, hath mine own little sister given birth late on Tuesday, to Kathleen Lilian Malcolm (my sister has recently reverted to her maiden name, due to relationship...complications...), so between that and Tori Amos on Wed night (and Nick Cave tonight-woo!) I've been a bit pre-occupied and busy-like.

Normal vague and unreliable service will be resumed ASAP.

[Waves to everyone he hasn't had any contact with in ages, ie. Harry and Alex. Makes note to self to somehow, sometime, give Harry back various borrowed items, incl. several PC games, a book and Animal Crossing]

Oh look, dinosaurs...

===FIRST POST=== of the new era! RAAAAAAY

Wait, I should do this properly.

Congratulations again to parental unit Billeneve Penfordennis on the arrival of The Bram.

May your nights be quiet and your days be merry.

Are you planning on wetting the head? Need a priest? ;) I'm not sure what the baptism rites for the Subgenius are ... although I think it's important we recognise The Bram as being an Overman as soon as is superhumanly possible ... it's less than two months to X-Day! PRABOB.

"The Ultimate Game Chair includes two mounted speakers, a pair of special designed half controllers that are attached to flexible rods poking out from either arm of the chair, and 14 vibrating motors. The force feedback motors allow the chair to deliver direction blasts of rumble so you can tell where gunfire or sounds are coming from. The best part is that it’s only US$750."

I think I need one. Maybe two. In an astonishing coincidence, it's likely that two of these chairs plus shipping would almost exactly equal our $3000 baby bonus. If that's not fate I don't know what is.

Also, I want one of these. It's pretty.

Harry! ya wee jobby, you didn't say you were going to be coming over!

Bloody hell

Some things i have learned during my trip to the mother-land.

Meet the parents didn’t need a sequel. Meet the fockers is that unnecessary sequel.

Japanese TV makes no sense,

There’s a hotel adult channel called blue-cherry,

The smell of shellfish pasta fills a plane really quickly,

10 hours is the reasonable upper limit for a flight. Knowing that after 6 hours you’re only halfway done is tedious as hell,

People in England are genuinely unfriendly,

The London Eye is really close to the Houses of Parliament (and goes quite high)

The London Underground is HUGE. And parts of it look like a sci-fi set.

Some things change quite a lot in 4 and a half years, and others stay almost exactly the same.

SPOILER ALLERT, CONTAINS A BIT OF DR WHO DIALOGUE

Harry, et al, the new Dr Who is actually pretty good.

There has to be an upside to being in the septic isle nes pas?

Christpher Eccleston is really rather grand as the Dr, and Russel T Davies who wrote it all, and Queer As Folk also Casanova, has actually injected some sort of insight into the whole Time Lord and what is it like being the Dr.

A nice bit of dialogue

"When you lot discovered that the world was round you could not concieve of clinging to a vast ball hurtling through the void at extraordinary speeds, let alone that the entire of space and time is doing the same thing. The thing is...I can feel it happening"

After months of speculation:

the ABC picks up the new Doctor Who.

No sign of a screening date though :(

Desci blogged this, and I'm sure I've seen it before, but I can't remember when or why...it's freakish and strange and perplexing but compelling:
