2011-08-11T23:23:00.000+01:00

Just a heads up that I'm going to start posting again. There's so many ways to use the internet on a daily basis that it can hurt your brain trying to keep up with everything.

Dirty Dancing: The Keepsake Edition (UK DigiPak) Blu+DVD

2010-10-28T22:46:00.000+01:00

So here's a video I made showing the box and menu screens from both the Blu-Ray disc and dvds discs in the set. Yes it's Dirty Dancing and yes I paid money for it (£11.99 to be exact) Dirty Dancing for me is a movie I'm not shy about saying I really love. I love this movie not because it's the best movie ever made, no I love this movie because I have such good memories at the time when this

At the end of May/start of June my laptop broke (Just got it fixed a few days ago) but the biggest thing that happened by far is my dads ongoing ill health since Nov last year, he's been on deaths door more than a few times and I've

I’m a bit late this time as it’s July. I had started to upload the videos I shot on the 30th but my uncle took ill and was rushed to the hospital where he ended up in intensive care, so doing this took a back seat. He’s out of there now and getting a bit better (thank God) So here’s the dvds I got from the 1st of June to the 30th of June and if you want, you can listen to me blab about some of

So it’s the end of May already and it’s finished with some amazing sunshine…WOOHOO! Yea the sun is great, but since we don’t get all that much of it in Scotland, it means the internet takes a backseat to being outdoors. Sure, like now; I’m outside with my laptop, but it means sitting at the side of the house so my PC does not melt. I’ve done part 3 of my DVD Collection vid for youtube, but

I put in a dispute with the fair use act of 1976, but decided to crap out of it and just delete the video and upload another one without sound, then select some music from youtube (it’s not very good)It

Fallout 3 is out tomorrow in the UK but my copy turned up today. Now I always love when stuff turns up early, but the sad fact is I kinda wish this was not out to Monday, as spare time to waste playing a game is not really there for the kinda hours this game is going to need.

My sister gave birth to wee baby Jayde at the start of June and I've spent most of the month with killer man flu (still not 100% over it). I can't say much about wee Jayde since I've hardly seen her. I saw her for a wee bit when my sister got out the hospital but since then my sister has been super busy and there's the fact I've had that killer flu so she could not come near me hehe. I hope to

Sopranos: The Complete Collection

2008-05-29T12:24:00.002+01:00

So many quality Tv shows and so little time. The Sopranos was one of those shows I always wanted to see (being a huge Godfather fan) but I never got around to it, by the time that I had time to see it, there was too many episodes missed and it was one of those shows that you need to follow week by week.I then was going to get the dvd of season 1 years ago but it was way over priced at the time so

GTA IV FIRST IMPRESSIONS

2008-04-29T22:13:00.002+01:00

So I've at last got to spend a few hours on GTA4, so was all the hype worth it? In one word, YES!How great is this game? I've hardly done anything at all in it but it just feels really special, there's just something about it, the city feels so alive, everything just works. This is the first GTA game I did not want to just go and jack a car 2 mins into playing and I've yet to fire a gun in single

If you live in the UK and have yet to download season 2 of Heroes then it's on tonight on BBC2 at 9pm or if like us you have Sky HD or V+ aka TV Drive you can watch it on BBC HD.I'm going to watch Ep 1 then wait for the dvd, This season was only 11 eps because of the writers strike. I'm too much into The Sopranos so I'm in no hurry to see season 2. Season 1 was great but I felt the end of the

UNGA BUNGA!

2008-04-22T11:01:00.002+01:00

Dunno what made me think of it but it was something Chuck Rock used to say in an old Amiga 500 game many moons ago, when I thought of Chuck Rock I thought about the amazing title theme, check it out, it's superb and was the best thing about the game. I still have this game and my Amiga 500 as well in the loft someplace sitting alongside my old Amstrad cpc 464:D

2008-03-30T16:51:00.005+01:00

Ok! So we all know HD-DVD is dead and we all know that you can pick up a HD-DVD player super cheap, with the 360 version selling for abour £20-£40.

The UK HD-DVD Firesales Begin.

2008-03-17T09:53:00.006Z

First of all, Happy St. Patricks Day (Thanks for the Heads up Emma :D)- Anybody who has a HD-DVD player will know that USA sites that sell HD-DVDs as well as Oz sites have been selling HD-DVD stuff at next to nothing prices. Well, while maybe not as low priced (for the moment) the UK has at last started to sell HD-DVDs from around £6.Play has a 3 for £20 offer on, Amazon UK are selling discs like

HD-DVD SINGS MY WAY

2008-02-22T11:25:00.005Z

And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain... So it was always the under-dog but HD-DVD has gave up the fight at long last. To tell the truth I'm surpirsed it lasted as long as it did, with very little studio backing it still managed to give us some great titles and In my opinion it was the best of the 2 formats (the other off course being Blu-Ray)I was never a fan of Blu-Ray right
