Yep, first winter...

Re: Photos from Lanzarote holiday 2010

Brian Healy — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 11:53:29 -0000

I only got a wee camera as Jacqui (and myself) wasn't sure if I would really take to photography, and so we couldn't justify the cost of getting a bigger, more expensive one.

I quite enjoy it though, so I might have to look at getting a more advanced camera in the future.. although it won't improve my pictures much! ;)

Re: Lucas Wants Star Wars 3D

Brian Healy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:42:04 -0000

How many versions of Star Wars does Lucas want to create? Hasn't he made enough money off the back of it already?

I don't know if my DVD shelf can take another Star Wars DVD boxset anyway!

Re: Fox developing U.S. version of ‘Torchwood’

Brian Healy — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:39:26 -0000

I agree. Fox have previous for pulling shows based on ratings, regardless of whether its good or bad or has a loyal fanbase.

I'm not sure how RTD's vision for 'Torchwood USA' will pan out, given that the UK version is, for me at least, a bit camp and much of what he does in the UK version will likely not transfer over.

I think I'd prefer someone else at the helm if it is to stand a chance of surviving the Fox one-season scythe. That is providing it gets past the pilot stage.

I can see this turning into a poor 'Fringe' clone, only with aliens.

I'd probably write a book, but I'd have to find the patience first... its a real ambition to get in print!

Re: BBC land in hot water over U2 album launch

The Coldplay complaint surrounded Radio 1 and the website for their 'Vlv' tour which provided links to ticket websites when promoting Coldplay gigs.

Naughty BBC!

Re: BBC’s “Doctor Who Greatest Moments” snubs original Doctors

Brian Healy — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:54:17 -0000

Not just you.

This just shows me how far RTD is stuck up his own arse. I think with lists like these, RTD is trying to make people 'forget' Who existed long before he came along and balls it up.

Another ego-massage and best ignored. There's frew 'great' moments in new Who anyway, I reckon.

Sounds like SLA Industries for the new decade.

It appears it wasn't caused by aliens... http://is.gd/5hV8U

Shame!

Re: Civony successfully rebrands as Evony - boobs tactics work

Brian Healy — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:50:37 -0000

Breasts are perhaps the wrong body part to use to promote the game. I've played it and can say for sure that bollocks would be much, much more in line.

Mind you, advertising the game with bollocks wouldn't do much for conversions now would it...?

Re: New Firefox and Chrome Versions Fix Stability Issues

Brilliant! The Firefox crash was really starting to get on my nerves...

Re: Gamers Rejoice! Legendary Civilization Is Coming to Facebook

Brian Healy — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:09:39 -0000

Not really, but there's not a lot else to do on Facebook and its the best of a very poor bunch of game apps.

Not that I play it much now anyways! :)

At last! A reason to ditch the awful Farmville!

Re: WARNING: Twitter Worm Spreading via Direct Messages

Brian Healy — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:14:29 -0000

"We contacted Twitter and they quickly got back to us."

What's your secret? I've only been waiting 8 weeks for Twitter to get back to me about my support request...

I'll be sure to watch for this though and bin any I receive, even though I don't get much in the way of DMs.. except when there's a Mafia Wars recruitment drive on. I just bin them as well.

Curiosity is getting the better of me... I'm going to have to try it, aren't I?

Hokum religions are no match for a good blaster at your side anyway...

Re: 10 People You Won’t See on Twitter Anymore

Brian Healy — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 06:39:14 -0000

Despite several requests I'm still waiting on Twitter to even contact me regarding a name squatter and competitor using the name of my friend's business. The bogus account has been dormant for over a year, but I think I stand a better chance of getting it on with Megan Fox than I do of ever getting a reply from Twitter support.

Apart from that, I'm happy that Twitter seem to be actively trying to combat the growing spam problem.

Re: RPG Release: Earthdawn Player’s Companion and Gamemaster’s Companion

Brian Healy — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:25:59 -0000

I remember Earthdawn the first time around when it was released by FASA.

Great game, but never really took off the way D&D or the White Wolf games did which is a shame.

Re: Resident Evil Series Getting a Semi-Reboot

Brian Healy — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:27:18 -0000

I thought it was ok tbh...

Re: Comics Artist Jock Tweets Judge Dredd and The Losers Movie News

Brian Healy — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 04:24:48 -0000

The new Dredd concept sounds promising at least.. I hope it turns out to be so, unlike the Dan Cannon/Stallone turkey.

Bookmarked for future reference. Thanks! :)

Re: Summer Glau joins Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse

Brian Healy — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:36:46 -0000

Fair enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, though... even if it was a bit disjointed. ;)

Re: Summer Glau joins Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse

Brian Healy — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 01:22:26 -0000

As if another reason was needed to watch this great show...

Re: Facebook for Mobile is Growing Rapidly

Brian Healy — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:54:35 -0000

I've visited on occasion via my Samsung Jet but I'd much rather wait until getting home to check FB rather than via mobile.

Re: Youtube In Talks with Movie Studios to Rent Movies

Brian Healy — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:49:34 -0000

What happens if YouTube or your ISP farts and dies midway through a viewing? Would you be able to pick up where you left off, or be faced with shelling out another $3.99 in order to finish watching what you've paid for?

I doubt I'll be streaming movies from YouTube but if I did I'd be much more likely to pay for a monthly, unlimited subscription rather than a pay-per-film model.
