BUNDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's that time of the year again, the time for the Humble Indie Bundle. If you know what that is, hop on over to www.humblebundle.com and show your support. If you're not familiar, here's the skinny. The Humble Indie Bundle is a collection of fine indie games, and the money made by their sale goes to a couple of charities, including Childs Play, who provide games and consoles to childrens hospitals.

A few more browser games you should play (while you’re meant to be working)

A long overdue follow up to an article I wrote a while back. Basically a list of browser games I've played that were surprisingly original or addictive. Simple enough. Alright, let's boogie... Prior Prior is a odd little platform game that was so good it managed to get me off my arse to write this article. This game instantly draws you in with it's eerie sounds, it's oddly entrancing protagonist &#! (a black box that has more personality than seems possible) and it's central mysterious story. It even has three multiple endings and each indicates in a different way the amount of ...

3 interesting film projects that could change the industry

Primer What it's about Primer is a film about two hard up engineers who are approaching the end of their corporate shelf life (You know what they do to engineers over 40?) In order to make a bit of money on the side they try to make an experimental levitation device in their garage. The machine is a failure but in the process they discover something very intriguing. A warning though, trying to completely understand the plot of this film in one viewing is about as easy as doing a rubix cube. Doing a rubix cube in a pitch black room. On ...

The Geek’s Restaurant

[caption id="attachment_1767" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Your new favorite eatery"][/caption] As well as being a geek, I'm something of a foodie, and recently I had the very great pleasure of combining my love of food and geekery at a really quite awesome restaurant in sunny London. The place in question is Inamo in Soho, and is one of the best restaurants I've been for Chinese and Japanese food in London. However that isn't even the cool thing. [caption id="attachment_1765" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The cool thing is this"][/caption] The ceiling of the restaurant has projectors built into it, each suspended above a table onto which they project a ...
