I had a very geeky conversation with the strangest of people last night. I had gone to pick up my oldest lad from Scouts and was standing speaking to him, one of the Scout leaders, and the Scout leader’s daughter. The Scout leader is a tiny wee wifie in her late fifties (I think –

My lovely lady wife has Mac Envy. It’s a terrible thing to see. She was wrestling with MS Office this morning and was practically turning purple. So, I’ve been commanded to “Get Her A Mac”. Thing is, we’ve been stuck with the PeeCee for over a year now and she’d kinda got used to the

Yet another embarrassing death, or “Why it’s important to research your class”. Ok, so a new character, level two, rummaging around in the first level of the dungeon. Suddenley I’m hungry. Oh dear, think I, I’ve been too busy playing with the magic system and learning spells that I’ve neglected to eat. Oh! I have

This is just the most wonderfully mad thing ever. Basically, it reads in a song from your music library and turns it into a track with coloured blocks which undulates in time with the music. You zip along the track hitting blocks to get combos or three or more of the same colour. That gets
