World of Warcraft: The Movie

No, not this one, a real WoW movie. From Reuters: LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The hugely popular “Warcraft” video games have inspired plans for a live-action feature film set in the epic fantasy universe of orcs, trolls, elves and the undead. The project is being developed by the creator of the games, Blizzard Entertainment [...]

Today's Thoughts

Slashdot’s coverage of the Oblivion saga continues. Some lawyer named Jack reckons that “the game content will spawn ‘an even worse disaster’ than occurred during Hot Coffee”. Just to recap on Grand Theft Auto’s mod, Hot Coffee – from Wikipedia: When installed, it unlocks a hidden part of the game which involves having sex (featuring [...]

Silence You Furry Fool

“Silence you furry fool. You’re finished here, you understand? I’ve had it with your whining. You’re cast out, you’re banished.” Its Beep Beep Little Satellite all over again. I have been listening to this for the past three hours non-stop, thanks to Spacey.

Gaping Holes in Irish Internet

I got the Sunday Tribune today, and was pleased to be greeted by the broadband coverage map made by Damien Mulley and John Handelaar. There it is in big bold font: “Gaping holes in Irish internet”: Mulley 1 – 0 Eircom. Noel Dempsey’s spokesman admirably exhibits the art of saying nothing but saying everything, in [...]

€14,000 Up For Grabs

For anyone who doesn’t usually listen to Cork’s 96fm – tomorrow is a good day to tune in. Even the rest of ye who are not in Cork would do well to listen in online, because the Celebrity Voices competition is there for the taking. Each word “Corks” “Perfect” “Music” “Mix” “96″ “FM” is spoken [...]

Derka derka, Mohammed Jihad. Baka sherpa-sherpa.

Last night I spent some time laughing at the Yahoo article exposing the latest wave of terrorist activities: converting popular computer games as a tool for propaganda and training of recruits. As bad as it was, it gets worse. Dvorak got the story this morning, where julieb pointed out that the source which was the [...]

“Islamic Militants are Using Video Games to Train Recruits"

I’m getting tired of all this talk of tech-savvy militants leading al Qaeda’s cyber-terrorism department. Perhaps there is a room full of Islamic extremist hacker nerds somewhere preparing their weekly status report for Osama, but if that is the case, then I seriously doubt that they are focusing their activities on modifying computer games, as [...]

Dear Dublin – Be More Like Cork

I have a bone to pick with you. You’re losing me sleep. I’m holding you directly responsible for my current situation, one of domestic anguish. Because of the relentless gunshots and sirens, I stayed up until midnight frantically drilling rawlplugs, filling cracks, boarding up the back windows with sheet steel. I then lay awake stewing [...]

Bruno at EvilFest

This is probably an old one, but its the first time I’ve seen it, Bruno interviews the neo-Nazis at EvilFest in England:

What a Difference a Day Makes…

I knew the interviews would be critical in exposing the true character of the candidates, but I didn’t expect it to be so dramatic. It has been clear from the start that Paul was an asshole, but thought he would have enough cop to play the game and make himself look good. To say he [...]
