Why you should probably be excited about Blur

0 Comments

No, not Blur the band! I ran out of enthusiasm for those guys the day I saw Graham Coxon’s segment on MTV Cribs. No, I’m talking about Blur the vidyagame, from Bizarre Creations, and published by Activision. ‘Just another racing game?!’ I hear you cry — ‘no!’ I say, ‘this one has licensed vehicles and guns and fireballs and stuff!’

Time-travel Tuesday: A primer in flexible-history theory

6 Comments

timetravel

Some people will drone on and on about time machines, and how we might build them, what they would look like and whether they would travel through time and space or merely through time. That is not what we will be discussing today. Today we’re talking about time-travel’s effect on history. It’s going to be fascinating, you’re all going to thank me, so let’s just get started.

We’ll highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, with examples from movies and TV all the way to help you out. By the end of this instructive series of tutorials you’ll be able to watch a film about time-travel and exclaim, “Hogwash and Poppycock! This film appears to subscribe to a flexible-history theory of time-travel and yet this paradox is one typically seen in a fixed-timeline scenario!

Get LOST in Just Cause 2

While playing Just Cause 2 I noticed a little island to the North West that had no missions open yet, it just seemed to be an island full of nothing.

During the trip I gazed at the blue sky and thought that Panau would be a rather nice place to visit, if it existed and wasn’t full of guns, then the weather changed. The sky became dark, rain poured down. Spooky.
