I’ve gone from a rather grumbly person to one who couldn’t be happier in a matter of months, not in an overall sense – I got much achieved in the past few months and felt very happy as a result of that. No, rather, my gaming system started to show its age and did so [...]
Sometimes it can be sobering to have a discussion with someone who isn’t very computer literate; and it promptly leads to attempts to form similes or metaphors, which builds up a layer-cake effect of confusion and muddiness. A recent example where I was asked to draw comparisons between computer components and a car engine – [...]
Today I was hoping to sit back, enjoy Sunday dinner, have a few coffees, read some news and watch some YouTube… while also finalising my choice for my year long project for university. Now I did write recently about my new piece of equipment, the very sleek, wonderful feeling and clacky Razer BlackWidow conflicts my [...]
Oh, what a bloody beautiful thing – I’ve only had it for a few hours now and sure enough there are little niggles with it, coming from a well laid out Saitek Eclipse II… other aspects make up for it immensely though, primarily the action on the mechanical keys. Now I know what I’ve been [...]

Indeed the title may have given it away, my graphics card died last night, at approximately 23:21 it decided it didn’t want to be benchmarked or assessed with FurMark – after escaping from the punishment from Sanctum. [...]
They say lightning never strikes twice – it did for me. Though not the lightning in the sky, no… just the lightning of unexpected shut downs. Let me just define a “Private” Minecraft server, right now there isn’t really such thing – its a server you keep hidden from the public eye, inviting select people [...]
I have finally broken, when my mouse didn’t make contact with the charging station’s pins and ran out the following day… I’d had enough. I’ve purchased a Roccat Kova, and in the words of a gaming buddy “ordering a mouse that isn’t Logitech? brave soul”. Read on for my opinions and experiences. Its my mini-review [...]
