Xbox Dashboard Update
Monday, September 29th, 2008 09:34 pm GMT +1
Microsoft announced at E3 this year that the Xbox Dashboard would be getting revamped, more than that, it would be getting replaced by a newer supposedly better user interface. There are two parts of this that I am interested in, one being what the new interface will be, what new features it will have and [...]
Skins Are One Thing…But Faces?
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 10:01 am GMT +1
A protective covering for the PS3 has been released and instead of having the usual crazy designs on the front, it actually has a mould of a scary skull as if trying to break free from the console. This represent a new concept for case mods not only for consoles but for PCs as well. [...]

Its kinda odd but kinda good. I like the way that they use the ‘lid’ as a metaphor for life at the end. See… Gaming can be profound!

As part of a series of workshops we will be doing, we were taught the basics of a programme called ‘Processing’. After a few hours of messing around with rectangles and circles and colours (that’s the correct spelling for all you yanks out there who force us to code using color!) we were tasked with [...]
