It's Chase Ace, Deluxe

    10:57 on April 30, 2008 ,

My friends and colleagues in Space Time Foam have just launched their latest offering, Chase Ace Deluxe. It’s a fast paced retro space shooter featuring awesome ‘splosions. You really need to watch a video (or another video) to see what it’s all about, and why their 15$ price tag is a bargain.

Lifehacker And Superior Software Alternatives

    08:38 on April 29, 2008 ,

I find lifehacker mildly amusing. Once in a while a little news item of worth ticks in. This time, Superior Alternatives To Crappy Windows Software catched my fancy. Bonus points for dissing both Quicktime, iTunes and in part Safari for their door-to-door salesmen approaches. Because as we all know, iTunes is the new Real Player.

The Tycho School Of Writing

Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.

The latest from the Coen brothers, No Country For Old Men, tells the story of a drug deal gone bad. When bystander Llewelyn Moss comes upon $2M in drug money, what follows is a game of cat and mouse when Moss is hunted by hired psycho-assassin Anton Chigurh. I wouldn’t normally go watch a movie [...]

The Emerging Trend Of Killing Off All The Characters In Movies Of Late

    14:57 on April 7, 2008

Have you been to the movies recently? Have you noticed how everyone gets killed off by the end of the movie? No, I’m not talking about any movie in particular, I’m talking about _most of them_. To be fair, I won’t mention by names exactly which movies spurned this; rest assured their bitter, cheap, pseudo-artful endings will remain intact by the end of this _mouth off_.
