As a developer, I know that code takes time to mature and stabilise so I'd been putting off Windows 11 for some time. Not to mention I don't have as much time to tinker with hardware as I did during my student days. Windows 10 was working great, everything was stable. If somethin...
Today was the last day I was staying in London before returning home the next morning. With business out the way I had a full day to explore. First thing in the morning was Kensington Palace which I've never been to. I'd been to Buckingham Palace when I was little but not this pl...
So I had a meeting down in London and the last time I been there was over 10 years ago when Shinkai was there for a live interview. Since I was down there any way I thought I'd visit some of the places; mainly museums. Then it occurred to me the K-ON Movie was also set there so I...
Out of boredom I decided to give VR a try since anyone can give it a go with their smartphone. You might have heard about Google "Cardboard" where you can create a container for your phone and enjoy VR or 360 video but, it's actually not as simple as cutting holes in a box. You h...
I didn't really resort to any guides or hints until I started gettiing the same Angel which was Israfel but, it was fun seeing what I ended up with initially without a guide. I recommend you try playing without this guide too first or if you're here, you've probably done that alr...
I was quite excited when I learned Bandai was going to release an Evangelion themed Tamagotchi, "All Purpose Oval Weapon, Evatchi (エヴァっち)" early in the year June 13th. I wasn't too keen on the idea of raising an Angel but being an Eva fan it was going to be a fun collectible. So...
Haven't been to a Scotland Loves Animation for several years now but kept an eye out for Weathering with You this year since the disc release is probably still a long way off. It was pretty much a given since the event screened Your Name the last time before disc release. I dropp...
Japanese console scene hasn't been that interesting for me lately, nor has the Western PC scene so I decided to start Final Fantasy XIV again 6 years after playing up to the end game of Bahamut Coil in the original A Realm Reborn (AKA v2.0). So here I was 3 expansion packs later...
Again, note the photos were taken casually during my trip so they aren't framed to match the titles featured here. They just happen to be featured in the title. Persona 5 is a great JRPG, a refined game since Atlus hit the gold mine with Persona 3. Great music, great artwork, gre...
Not much has really changed since that post in 2009 but there are a few new shops I discovered that I didn't mention back then. Import Japanese goods are pretty much everywhere in Hong Kong. Japan's only a 4.5 hour flight away after all unlike UK which can be 14 - 19 hours so it...
