The best sales call ever.
Posted on May 29, 2008 | No CommentsI’ve just taken a cold call at work. It went: “Good afternoon, is it you that looks after the ‘phone systems in your organisation?” “Yes,” I say, “that would be me.” “Ah excellent. My name is XXXXXX and I’m calling from Primus. Do you know... -

My Life as a King (WiiWare)
Posted on May 24, 2008 | No CommentsWell, I’ve had a longer go now and can safely say this is ACEBEST. It’s kinda like a cross between football manager and sim city, but very much simpler than both. Basically, you build a city, hire and train adventurers and send them out to... -

Posted on May 18, 2008 | 1 CommentSo, the fuel price is calculated (roughly speaking) as the actual price, then the duty, then the VAT (yes, that’s right folks, you pay tax on the tax!). So let’s take the VAT off that price. 102.8p OK, each litre of diesel has 54.68p duty... -
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS)
Posted on May 18, 2008 | No CommentsWith the news that there’s a new DS Castlevania game in the making, my explorey juices have started flowing again.
