I normally don't do this sort of thing, but every now and then something comes along that deserves highlighting.Imogen Heap's hauntingly beautiful song 'Hide and Seek' is one such thing in my opinion.As I was saying to a friend online earlier tonight, if I could have something like this under my belt, then I would feel as if there was little more to accomplish.The song is incredible.

Is it just me, or are people IRL just a total drag?Over the past year or so I've been doing more and (increasingly) more socialising with folk online, rather than in real life. And from my perspective anyhow, it's just a whole fuckload easier.It's not that you don't get your share of morons and assholes online just as you would in the physical world, but the people I connect with via some form of

What makes one person want to betray another?What process occurs inside somebody's brain that triggers neurons to fire that result in the thought "I want to hurt this person"? (be that emotionally, politically, physically, or socially)When thinking about this, one might draw some conclusions based upon impetus. To my mind, these would be along the lines of:Where the net return is to gain

She was a sight to behold.She was a 'chubby' Asian, short and stocky.

Yes it's true.I recently got accepted into the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning beta.Yes, I'm very grateful, and yes I know that I'm extremely lucky and that there are 100's of 1000's of devoted Warhammer fans out there that haven't got in (yet).But with at least 9 months until release, I'm sure there will be plenty more opportunities for you to do so.The only downside is that sadly I will not

I think I've mentioned it before here somewhere; I need to stop going shopping on my own.Not because I don't enjoy the fine company of myself, but because perhaps whoever is with me can drag me out of the damn stores.And so, I arrive home once again with a bundle of gaming goodness under my arm, and a Fast Slimmed wallet to match.It's this blooming Nintendo kick that I'm on.I'm thoroughly

I know; I said I'd never buy a Nintendo Wii.And for all intents and purposes, I never would have.. had I not stopped past the Prahran EB Games store on the way home from work last night.It's funny really, in that I normally don't have much of anything 'good' to say about the employees behind the counters of EB Games stores throughout the city. And in fact if one were to look up such a topic on

Religion.Yah.. what a subject.As I generally state elsewhere: 'I view religion as nothing more than convenient, apathetic hypocrisy'.Sounds fairly nasty, doesn't it.I might add though, that I'm not mocking an individual's choice of faith, or the very human desire to actually have faith, but in terms of 'religion' in it's most common form today, I say "what a load of arse".Where to start..Hmm how

My workplace is suffering, nay bleeding through an open wound, massive attrition at the moment. If this was related to Pirates (like everything else at the moment), it'd be a case of queuing to walk the plank.Actually, I think there are people offering discounted self-service planks in the foyer, but hey.It's extremely interesting, from a 'why' perspective.As is the case with all things corporate

I've been thinking a little, about the shooting here in Melbourne yesterday.There's no doubt in my mind that the alleged shooter is an asshole (by his actions alone), so I'm not going to dwell upon him. But it got me thinking about the victims.As far as normal, logical, human reasoning goes, it's a sad affair in everybody's minds I am sure. Well, it is in mine.But - reading the paper on the way

It's an interesting time in MMO-land at the moment:SOE just released their first massive patch for the wounded Vanguard:Saga of Heroes, which is actually a great patch fixing 309 tangible bugs, amongst other issues such as memory leaks and general performance issues.Turbine just released their first free content and balancing patch for Lord of the Rings Online here, here and here, causing an

You know, the more I try other MMO's, the more I seem to have an appreciation for the ones I consider 'core'.Let me firstly type a couple of lines about Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.Yes, it's an SOE game, but it was developed by a company named Sigil Online, headed up by Uber Wanker #2 Brad McQuaid (of EverQuest I & II fame).If you spend no less than 5 secs searching the net for anything to do with '

But I digress..Dear SCE,Ha fucking ha, you arrogant & greedy cunts.Yours mockingly,Moi.Not that I'm making light of the poor souls that this affects, but no less than two months after Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced 160

Damnit.I purchased Sony's newest MMORPG Vanguard: Saga of Heroes™ only to realise that I don't have enough HDD space (20GB ouch!) to install it.I own an iMac running Apple's Boot Camp in order to play PC games.(This is effectively a dual-boot scenario, whereby I can choose whether to boot into MacOSX or WindowsXP each time I turn the computer on.)Windows is able to run due to these new iMac's

Well, it was inevitable really.Now that the Xbox 360 is only 5 days away from being in my hot little hands, it was time to 'prepare' for the arrival of my new baby.That meant: living room upgrade.With many thanks to Lumpy and his research and advice, I'm now the proud father of a bright and bouncing 32" Samsung LCD TV.I was able to swing a deal at MYER (where I bought it) and for an extra $100

Each music profile belongs to one person, and describes their taste in music.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc. users will be able to conduct instant message chats from a Google Web browser window, alongside their e-mails, instead of requiring a separate application, the company said late Monday.Google hopes that by embedding new instant messaging software it calls "Gmail Chat" into its existing e-mail service, it can differentiate itself in a crowded market it was

More Google coolness..Google Video is now live.Is Google video a true challenger to Windows Media Player and the viable means to distribute video on the web that so far has been missing? I think so. Google video will be big, very big.Some interesting perspectives on Google Video can be found at Battle Media.If you legally own the copyright to some video footage you can upload your footage to

What is it about that sweet sweet packaging crack called bubble wrap? Fondling those irresistible knobs of protective breath to an oh so satisfying release is just one of those simple joys that makes life worth the trudge. Sony apparently knows this only too well, and has taken to exploiting our wanton desires with their PlayStation bustop bubblewrap marketing campaign in Malaysia. Whilst there

"Hang down your head Tom 'SaMbO' Dooley.. hang down your head, and cry.."I must admit, not even I saw this one coming. No, not the 'hang my head in shame' bit (I've got enough fodder to keep my chin down for many a year to come) but had you spoken to me before the weekend I could've told you about how proud I am being a PS2 luddite.For as many years as I can remember, I've bought every game

Indeed it is.Okay - so I may well be the only schmuck who simply doesn't "get it", but they say ignorance is bliss.Bored. Yep. And - borING.Anything 'Tarantino' seems to make me feel the same way - splatter and shock (i use the word lightly) tactics didn't even come off due to a general numbing of the senses and as it slowly singed any neuronic activity under my skullcap (which I retained,
