Not cleaned the mothballs out of here for a very long while, perhaps it's time we had a proper clearout? Maybe learn some HTML while we're at it? As has been the case for many people, I was totally swept up by the arrival of BlueSky onto the Social Scene. Now I never had Twitter, thank god, but BlueSky's general niceness drew me in, and I'm having an alright time there. But... I miss SpaceHey, but... » Continue Reading
Wow, not been here a while! SpaceHey needs some more love. And that love could come from reminiscing about a game everyone played in school in the mid-2000s, a game that was DEFINITELY not appropriate - a game about a skeleton rampaging his way through an office. The new Smart-Casual Gaming episode about Skull Kid is now available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwtOMhu2ask » Continue Reading
So, everyone's been going on about BlueSky a lot recently. So I tried it out. And although it has it's good points, certainly; ease of access is generally really good and it has a great blocklist system, it still doesn't hold a candle to SpaceHey. I know it's trying to do something very different, but it really could have used some of SpaceHey (Or even MySpace's!) features. There's barely any cust... » Continue Reading
https://youtu.be/og1wZCtNTu4 Tetris games are a staple of any games console. It's the video game equivalent of a bowl of REALLY nice cornflakes. And, much like cornflakes, the knockoffs aren't quite up to the standard of the real thing. What they are though, is good fun! Please take a look at this video, and feel free to comment or pass it along to your friends! » Continue Reading
Finally, after a long break due to several different personal reasons, Smart-Casual Gaming is back! I hope you like table tennis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dDreiJcuiE » Continue Reading
When I wasn't watching the first couple of episodes of Ncuti Gatwa's debut series of Doctor Who (Might write a post about that!), I was working on the next Smart-Casual Gaming. But I also had time to choose today's song, "A song that reminds you of someone". Now, that's an incredibly vague one, but I'm going to have to pick a song that I can tie into my experience so far on SpaceHey! Today's song ... » Continue Reading
And writing this immediately after the last one as I can't manage my time properly, this day's challenge is to pick a song that reminds me of the summer. Although I like lots of songs actually about the summer (Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochran being one of them), but that felt a bit lazy. Of course they remind me of the summer, they're ABOUT the summer. So instead, I picked a song that reminds me... » Continue Reading
Well, guess who forgot she was doing this already? Won't happen again, I promise. Day 2's Challenge is for a song I like with a number in the title. Well, two songs came to mind, but I would feel bad if I didn't pick 54-46 was my Number by Toots and the Maytals. Early reggae pioneers, the Maytals have a career that stretches from the '60s to the 2010s, and alongside Bob Marley and the Wailers, are... » Continue Reading
Welcome to Day 1 of the 30 Day Song Challenge! There, that's the obligatory introduction out of the way... Now, the first day's category is to pick a song with a colour in the title, and the song I've chosen is Red River Rock by Silicon Teens, the song that is arguably the theme to the 1987 John Hughes film Planes, Trains and Automobiles . I utterly adore this film, it's got everything I want fro... » Continue Reading
So, I have just been made aware of this table. A 30-Day Song Challenge. Now, I love music, and as I'll be in need of more things to occupy my time with once all my work is done as of tomorrow, I'll be going through this! Quite often, it'll just be "The thing that came into my head first" rather than my favourite, as that would require more thinking than I'd like for a bit of harmless web fun. I do... » Continue Reading
I'm in the mood for a chocolate cake. I want a slice of chocolate cake. I don't particularly even like chocolate cake, I just saw a photo of one, and now I would like some. It's just that sort of day, I guess! » Continue Reading
