Die Another Day was possibly one of the worst James Bond films ever made1. In attempting to tip a hat and slyly nod to previous James Bond films, it turned into a camp over-the-top monstrosity, bloated with smug performances and a plot that wouldn’t look out of place in a…

Note: if you’re looking for code, there’s a link at the bottom of this article where you can get a copy. This article just explains what the code does. About a year ago, Google mentioned casually that they would be getting rid of YouTube subscription feeds1. Earlier this year they…

Ten years ago this day, I uploaded a comic strip to my new DeviantArt1 account. It was to be my first foray into producing comics online. Detulux Incorporated follows the misadventures of Mr. Pain, a white-suited bespectacled arms dealer and his team of misfit henchmen and mercenaries as they find…

E31 took place this week, and it was probably the best in terms of announcements for the last two or three years. Game critics are remaining sceptical about some of the announcements, but that’s their job – allow the rest of us to revel in the joy of some of…

I turned 27 this year, officially placing me in the “adult” end of my twenties. So what did I receive for my birthday from my beloved girlfriend? LEGO, of course! Having received a Joker steamroller previously, and also coming into possession of a LEGO version of the Penguin1, the only…

As a die-hard James Bond fan, one of the biggest struggles is coming to terms with one of the larger ever-present issues the franchise has: continuity. If that’s a foreign word to you, it refers to how a work of fiction progresses as a whole. For example, Doctor Who has…

I’ve had a bit of dabbling with reading and interpreting text using PHP recently, specifically for two personal projects: A “translator” that reads in text and converts it to “fake French” (in the style of other silly “translators”).

The new trailer for Batman v Superman was leaked online this week and it looks pretty good.

In my quest to buy every single action figure DC Collectibles pumps out that’s based around the Batman “Arkhamverse” video games, I have so far managed to buy a giant alligator man, a steroid Joker and a colossal zombie. When Solomon Grundy turned up in the mail, I joked that…
