EVE stuff

Just a quick note to say I’ve posted some new screenshots of EVE Online over in the gallery. Including a nice double screen panoramic and a wllpaper-ish one.

The Mind’s series and Transformers

So over the holidays Barney’s Mind (YouTube) reached its finale, and while Freeman’s and Shephard’s Mind (YouTube) are busy being worked on, a rather awesome rendition of Chell’s Mind (Portal) has appeared to fill the void (YouTube).

Meanwhile, whilst sorting through my old collection of flash video files, I stumbled across the Transformers break-dancing short, [...]

Review: Secret Files 2

Not long ago, I played through and completed Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis. While it’s still fresh in my mind, I figured it would be a good candidate for a new review;

Nina Kalenkow returns in a new point-and-click adventure game; Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis,The sequel to the award winning adventure hit Secret Files [...]

Alice and Kev

I happened across this the other day in my internet wanderings. Alice and Kev is an experiment in playing a homeless family in The Sims 3.

The premise seems pretty basic on the face of it; Take the Sims 3, create a couple of characters (father/daughter in this case), set them up in a lot [...]

Halo Legends

So this got announced the other day too;

Microsoft’s creative staff is approving the visuals and storytelling. Three of the creative directors are Frank [...]

Phoronix posts on the subject so far; Come [...]

Freeman’s Mind

So I got bored the other day and went looking for something to randomly watch, and stumbled across this absolute gem of a machinima, “Freeman’s Mind”, in it’s own words;

Follow the thoughts of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a 27 year old physicist and neurotic individual.

I’ve not laughed so much at an online video for [...]

UT3 and me

Okay, since the UT3 Titan pack expansion came out a couple weeks ago, interest has risen in UT3 once more, and so has my desire to carry on mapping in it. Hopefully, sometime soon, my interest will peak, and CTF-Orbital will see a flurry of activity and maybe even a release. Below are a few [...]

Phase Two

After many hours of planning, the new Junction at Duningworth is constructed, plans for an extra platform at Fentfingford were rejected and the buffers were removed instead. The entire line is now double tracked, and a new 4-6-2 ‘Streamliner’ brought in for the new run. Seen here loading up at Duningworth, while the local pulls [...]

Work Continues

After and increase in Coal production, and extra 2-8-0 is bought to help cope with the extra cargo, and the line is double tracked.

Demand for furnishings has been on the rise, and the local sawmill requested a new branch line be put in. Two more 2-8-0’s are bought, one for the new timber [...]
