Naturally, I’m not the only person who thought of this when the Surface was first announced years ago:
People talk about the ultimate RPG equipment, and I have to say that the surface really comes close. This could help take care of a lot of the mechanical stuff that bores me as a game master, and allow me to focus on plot and dialogue.

Ok, I’m only writing this because I’m not playing. And the reason I’m not playing is that I’m at work on a Sunday. There’s a bunch of other posts I need to get out quickly too. Hopefully, I won’t lose momentum, and you’ll see those soon.
Mass Effect 2 picks up several years after the first game. Commander Shepard has joined the shadowy Cerberus network to continue his fight against the Reapers, a race of sentient machines that raise galactic civilisation only to destroy it.
It will probably never live up to that pre-rendered video, but man is it tempting to get the LEGO Universe MMO when it comes out. The Ars review certainly makes it appealing.
Bayonetta has made a bit of a splash amongst the gaming blogerati. Like it or love it, a game that centres around a woman whose clothes are made out of her living hair, which is also used in her weaponry is going to get some people up in arms.
Whatever your take on the gender politics, you have to admit that any press is good press. Certainly, that worked on me, so I downloaded and played through the demo. I was going to review it, because even though it was pretty brief, I was thoroughly entranced. And then I watched Ryan’s review over at Giantbomb:
I don’t think anything more can be said. If you like this sort of thing, then you’ll be getting it. If not, I don’t care – I’ll have a librarian-dominatrix game to play with.
This is the first in a series of posts about choosing the right bits to build a Personal Video Recorder. A couple weeks back I decided that neither PlayTV nor TiVo really suited my needs, so I will be building my own.
It’s been a while since I looked at computer components, and the market has changed dramatically. Nowhere is this more evident than the CPUs. Originally, I had flagged a dual-core desktop chip like the Intel CoreDuo or an AMD Athlon II. However, there’s a new entrant to the CPU space: the Intel Atom that is at the heart of a lot of lightweight applications like netbooks, mobile phones, and media players.
