I haven’t had a lot of spare time lately, hence lack of updates, but in the minutes I have had, I’ve read a few “graphic novels”. Here’s what I’ve been reading. Captain America by Ed Brubaker Omnibus, Vol. 1 The “Omnibus” is an epic collection of Ed Brubaker’s run on Captain America. It collects Captain [...]

I’ve just finished ploughing through the first season of Dexter, and I have to say, this is one show that is deserving of the hype. The first season features 12 episodes, each running a touch over 50 mins, but each one leaves you wanting more. Dexter is a forensics expert working for the Miami Police [...]

Following my completion of Halo 3, I quickly popped the next game on my ‘to do’ list into the Xbox 360, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. Kane and Lynch is an action/shooter style game borrowing some elements from the Hitman games as well as a hint of Gears of War (particularly the crouching behind cover [...]

Without too much fuss I finished Halo 3 on the weekend. That’s not to say I found it a bad game, I just didn’t find that it lived up to the hype and expectation I’d had following Halo 2. Gameplay wise, Halo 3 is largely the same as Halo 2. Point, shoot, kill, run, point, [...]

It’s official, I’ve now made some money with Predictify. How did I make money? Simple, I predicted that Kansas would win their championship game against Memphis in the 2008 men’s NCAA tournament. The best part is, I had no idea who would win, I just guessed. Kansas could have been on the bottom of the [...]

If you want to be a celebrity chef these days, it takes a lot more than a few good recipes to build you a following. You need a gimmick. You need something to make you stand out, you need to come out with stuff like ‘pucka’, or you need to be one of ‘two fat [...]

Need the detailed, FAQ, description of what it’s all about? Predictify is a prediction platform where users can predict the future and build a reputation based on their accuracy, [...]

First, let me begin by saying that Will Ferrell is the balls. Now with that out of way, let me describe the movie just a little bit, before I give it a score out of five, and then post a couple of related Will Ferrell clips. Semi-Pro is based on the semi-true story of ABA [...]
