Career Opportunities

So, you know when banking institutions gamble and lose their money, only to grovel to their pet buddies in government to get every Tom, Dick and Harry taxpayer to help get them back on their feet, made ever more honest and genuine by threats to up sticks and take their business to some other economy that would treat friends like that or when labour intensive companies that cut thousands of jobs in the name of cost efficiency and smart spending, people get outraged?

Why wouldn’t they? What majority percentage of a population enjoys having their hard earned cash going to a minority who consider themselves above the law and legislation of government because of the services they provide, ballsing up more often than not, yet somehow indispensably necessary to the day to day function of our nation.

Trials Evolution Review

Nothing says adventure like a midnight dash across ancient ruins

Sequels are like superheroes, only appearing when the night is darkest; when all good in the world is obstruct by those who would rather us live in perpetual fear of banality. They are not the games we need, they are the games we deserve.

More often than not, the sequels we encounter are the ones we need, the ones that fund the industry. Observe the annual sprawl of Call of Duty titles. These games meet our basic needs. Short-term entertainment till the guaranteed next cash injection arrives.

Yet once in a while, a sequel emerges that we deserve, a sequel of such magnitude and genius that we can’t all but welcome its arrival with a bent knee and an oath of fealty.

SOPA vs The Internet

Today is a pretty apt day to write about this subject. On January 18th 2012, the internet is making a stand, a final stand, against a bill looking to get passed through the US congress, brought into existence with the express purpose of censoring everything people know, love and take for granted on the internet.

The Stop Online Piracy Act was introduced to the House of Representatives as a means of tackling the growing and leeching problem of piracy over the internet from sources outside of US jurisdiction.

If passed on January 24th, SOPA will essentially grant a dozen US corporations control over the internet so their profit margins take less of a hit. Under SOPA, US ISP’s will be forced to enact DNS (Domain Name System) blocking, the same tactic used by Iran and China to censor their people.

Dexter Season 6 - Those Kind Of Things Review

As autumn approaches and the days shorten, foliage flutters to the ground and temperatures creep lower and lower day by day, we can rejoice as this bleak time of year marks the beginning of new episodes of all our favourite TV series stateside.

Whilst a few have had me bouncing around like a Yorkshire terrier on hearing Pedigree being opened, waiting for one particular series to air again has kept me so eager, so agitated, so anticipated that with its sixth season hitting the screens next week, has brought music to my ears. Of course, I’m talking about Dexter, every-ones favourite serial killer.
This series promises to bring a big bang as opposed to the gentle drone that was last years series. Having found solace one year after cavorting with revenge driven Lumen Pierce, Dexter has now fallen back into his old habits, the kind that earn you the chair.

Bethesda vs Minecraft: Clash of the Titans

Big companies are regularly portrayed as archetype bully figures. They have the power and clout to make all beneath them tremble with fear at their demands. But just like David was to Goliath, independent game developer Markus ‘Notch’ Persson is standing up to Bethesda’s lawyers over the case of his next projects title.

Archer Review

Have you ever thought to yourself what would MI6 have been like if M spend every working day matching James Bond drink for drink? You haven’t till just now but would like seeing the ensuing clandestine chaos? Then FX’s Archer is the show for you.

Yes, I Am a Mac Convert, But The Grass Isn't That Much Greener on This Side

I’m man enough to admit it; I’m an Apple convert. For years I considered Mac bashing one of my personal favourite pastimes; “why are their close buttons on the wrong side?”, “Mac’s are overpriced computers for people with too much money and not enough common sense” and “Mac fanboys are the worst types of people” are a few examples of the remarks I’d frequently throw out amongst my PC using mates and oh how we would laugh, laughing at our own narrow minded naivety with hindsight.
