The Music of ‘Twin Peaks’.

‘Twin Peaks’ was a wonderful television programme. There were just so many things in it to talk about. Every week it could leave us confused, scared or intrigued. But whatever happened in each episode, we would always be begging for more.

When David Lynch and Mark Snow put it all together they managed to add all of the right ingredients. The characters were brilliantly dreamed up, the photography was perfectly done and the story was totally riveting; and when I Read the rest of this entry »

Be Unmotivated.

‘Unmotivational Posters’ is a very amusing website, but I think you probably need to have a certain type of humour to be able to fully appreciate it. Unfortunately for the world, I do have that type of humour and when I spent half an hour on here earlier I was in serious danger of wetting myself.

Some of the posters are obviously mock-ups that have been cleverly done on Photoshop, but there are also many that I am sure are Read the rest of this entry »

First Place For Puzzle Games.

I have always been a bit of a sucker for ‘three in a row’ puzzle games. Over the years I have played on loads of different ones. Even back in the days of the original black and white Gameboy I bought games that worked on this principle. Until recently I would have said that my favourite one in this genre was either ‘Bejewelled’ or ‘Jewel Quest’ but not any more… I have just discovered the best one yet; ‘Fishdom’.

Blast Off to Lunar Arcade.

Are you one of these people who have got nothing better to do with themselves other than sit playing silly games on the internet?

Video Games

Now I am going to begin by saying something many of you may find contentious – particularly those of you who are enamoured with the wonders of the equally popular PES franchise - but I love FIFA.

No, scratch that, I REALLY love FIFA!

I can still remember the first time I played it – how sad is that?

It was christmas 1995 and all I wanted that year was a Sega Mega Drive and a football game to play Read the rest of this entry »

Caught-Up in The Web.

I am sure that when two universities in California managed to send and receive information to one another they had no idea what it was that they were starting.

Until I read this, I had no idea that the Internet had begun back in 1969. I knew that it had been going for a lot longer than most people realised, but I would never have guessed that it was as long as forty years ago.

So, while the hippies all Read the rest of this entry »

The Pomegranate and Weight Loss

When people think of weight loss, the Pomegranate fruit usually does not come to mind. However, this fruit is actually very helpful when it comes to losing weight and for several reasons. Usually, for weight loss purposes, this fruit is consumed in capsules so it makes it much easier to get the daily amount you need for effective weight loss. Read the rest of this entry »
