Whoops
Just realised that I haven't mentioned the electro-tat auctions here!
Basically - I'm selling off some of the tat I've reviewed over the years on Ebay. First up are the KenSingTon Vii and the Gamestation - have a look at the auctions page for further info.
That is all. Resume your positions.

Cyber Spunky DLC FX - Only 800 points!
There are three things in this post.
The first thing is a review of the retina-melting Cyber FX visor:
The next thing is a rarity - something I didn't write and produce myself! I am pleased to present the charming adventures of Spunky, the Video Game Influenced Monkey:
The final thing... I've recently encountered "Downloadable content" (DLC) for the Xbox 360, specifically Namco's stuff for Soul Calibur IV. Currently a full half of it comprises of virtual maid's outfits with skimpy underwear, which they expect you to buy with real money (via the contrivance of Microsoft Points). I am not joking.
I was considering writing something about how utterly shit the vast majority of DLC is and how some publishers are crippling full-price releases as a result of it. But then I saw this article from UK Gaming site Peoww which sums up my thoughts almost exactly, and probably does it better than I would have done. Thanks, lads!
Thads.

Sharp intake of breath over top row of teeth
I discovered a video review competition and decided to submit an entry. This features not only my first covert camera footage, but the first time I've feigned ignorance of basic plumbing techniques!
The guidelines stipulated that entries should be about 2 minutes long and that they shouldn't give much technical information. So I'll list the relevant information I left out here:
Incidentally, if you'd like to see the unedited covert plumber footage, I've stuck it up on Revver:
(No, I don't know why he fiddled with the plug when I asked if anything else needed doing.)
The guidelines stipulated that entries should be about 2 minutes long and that they shouldn't give much technical information. So I'll list the relevant information I left out here:
- The spy pen has 4gb storage space and is recognised as a removable drive by Windows.
- Theoretically, the pen could record an incredible 27 hours of footage before filling that space. But the internal, non-replaceable battery runs out after about an hour.
- It has no official name. No brand name is shown and therefore the manufacturer is unknown.
- I got it from Ebay. Check my auctions page for a useful link to find cheap ones.
- The pens are also available from various importers, but be prepared to pay MUCH more.
- Yes, it is also a working pen.
