Nothing makes me more excited than new tools for innovating creativity and as we head into 2012 here are five gadgety tools and software I'm looking forward to appearing this year. 1. iPad 3 Of course the iPad 3. I had the iPad 1 up until before christmas when the screen died. Now getting iPad withdrawal as i await the 3rd gen apple tablet. I don't really care what new features are on

"I go into 2011 with hope and determination to make good with whats available because even the countries leaders are telling us its going to be a shit year." Looking back at 2011, those of you who know me well may be surprised to know that describing 2011 as terrible year is not what i feel. It's best described as the most contradictive year of my life. Two major sources of confidence,

So being a mac user means games that came out years ago arrive around about now. I've been trying to play Assassins Creed on the mac but the over complicated ported controls system makes for frustrating button bashing confusion. It's as if Ubisoft did not even try to hone the game for PC & MAC users. So with some free time and a cold virus we took a look at the Apple Mac App Store (not on iOS)

I have held off blogging about this film as i wanted some of my SL steampunky friends to go see it first. But i think i have waited long enough and if you have not seen this film yet then shame on you. Hugo is a boy orphaned and left to live alone in a train station in paris. His purpose is to fix the stations clocks and keep them working until he meets a sad bitter old toy shop owner who

Getting Dizzy to return was one thing, hoping the development team that brought him back would do so in a decent way is another. A Childhood Favourite Dizzy was the first gaming franchise i bought into as a geeky 10 year old with an Amstrad CPC 464. There used to be a small little shop in town with a shelf that displayed small cassettes that were in fact games for the pre console era.

I rarely seem to write about what I'm up to these days. I mostly blog reviews on films i have seen or Apps i have bought. Well to be honest i don't seem to do anything much other than work… No wait that is a Lie, as only two weeks ago i met up with my mate Rob in exeter where we hung out and chatted about life, Rob you are such a great guy :) Couple days before that i met up with Ronan

It's been a while since i've reviewed any apps, i guess my last post about digital magazines can be classed as an App review but... megh... I've found myself lacking in time with regards to mobile game playing. Games either seem to big to get involved with or just to boring so it was great to find this game called Amazing Breaker while my dad watched football. Very simple premiss, blow up

When the iPad first came out one of the things i looked forward to was how the industry would use it for publications.  Newsstand on iOS5, making consuming publications simple A Poor Start From the outset Apple had set up a store for books, and very nice it was too. Though i rarely buy books, i don't read BOOKS (yes i know Pippin Shhh!). But for magazines, papers and comics publishers

So it's my birthday.. again...  I tend to go through these days on my own with a melancholy hope that in some way it'll be special in some way, as if the sun shining through the window is doing so just for me. That the peacefulness is something i've earned. This year though it feels more like a pause for breathe, that i've been lucky to make it this far through the year without collapsing. The

There are some films that I so love, that are so special and of a certain package that everytime they come on tv I make a point to sit down, chill out and watch. Even though I have them on DVD, these films never fail to entertain me like a favourite food, or a favourite t-Shirt. Like good well tested friends.  So here is my list.  I may update it every now and then as i rember others but for

Freelance designer, thats what i kept telling everyone while at Jason's funeral. A simple explanation to hide the fact i'm not actually doing anything solid with my professional time. Chasing dreams would be more accurate i suppose. I've been picking away like a miner for years at Second Life trying to find gold. The blow of loosing Jay totally forced me off the track with regards to pursuing

Super 8 is a little gem hidden amongst the other blockbuster. You know what the other films are about, aliens and cowboys, transformers, Captain America. Super 8 is a mystery from the start. A person my age is part of a generation that grew up on 80's classics, a Spielbergian world of sci fi wonder in a time where FX were accomplished in the most creative ways possible. The Goonies, Star Wars,

I think this will be the last blogpost focusing on the passing away of my friend Jason Rose.  Writing a blog has always had multiple reasons for me. Partly to share with friends what i love, and in some cases simply to poor my thoughts out and reflect. It can be cathartic. So some of what i write here might upset some in the way i write frankly about my experience. Some would not react the

In my last post i spoke about how the lose of my friend Jason has left me with many questions that i plan overtime to slowly try and understand. A friend of mine from Second Life sent me a notecard sharing his experiences and I'm deeply greatful. Because as i start to make sense of it all, so hopefully those who follow me will understand. I have worked with a lot of people who have been in

Everyone who's reletivly close to me has been aware this last week that there has been only one thing on my mind, and it's likely to be at the front of my thoughts for quite a while yet. Last tuesday a man known to his friends fondly as 'Whiteboy' Died at the young age of 24. He was in Exeter Prison on remand for pointing an immitation gun at police officers in an attempt (in his own words)

Back in 1999 i went online for the first time ever with my own new Orange iMac on a dial up modem. My collage friend at the time introduced me to an Instant messaging program called ICQ and it asked me for a username. The internet seemed such a vast open space of uncertainty, who was out there? what sort of people will i meet, what sort of people will find me? what the hell am i getting myself

Back at Collage i was introduced to a tabletop roleplay game called Kult. Before then i had only done a bit or live action roleplay and watched starwars. I had no idea how much Kult would inspire a view of the world. Now it's probably not the first text to examine the world as an illusion, in fact i think it's taken from gnosticism. But it was the first to introduce me to it and since then the

In my last blog post i basically moaned that i was lonely, hiding it in some kinda kaswizzlenufkin dribble. In the end thats all it was because i ended up spending some quality BBQ time with my sister and her newborn son, then my good old friend Rob came over for a couple days and we caught up on things and watched hours and hours of movies.

One of the things i love about Anime is it's freedom to deal with themes you would not expect from western animations. Anyway here with have Tekkonkinkreet, released back in 2006!

Quite a few recently have asked what inspired me to be into Steampunk and i can quite clearly see where the influences come from. For the most part it has to do with where i grew up in england with its many relics of the industrial landscape. The majority of people in the UK are probably blissfully unaware of the origins of old brick walls and overgrow english gardens. To them it's just rubble,

Last year i did a number of posts explaining my frustration with trying to self publish my comics. In the run up of the iPad coming out i was excited with the prospect of self publishing comics digitally but as the iPad release came and went i was faced with a platform that did not yet know how to work. I tried to build an app from scratch and failed. I looked at Adobes digital publishing

One thing im finally enjoying thanks to the ipad is that games that come out on xbox and PS3 are coming out also on ipad. Ok so they are not the same games, but its part of the franchise so you can get caught up in the hype. Dead Space 2 comes out this month for all the big consoles and a version is out for the iPad.

So it's the blog post where i look back last years resolutions and wether i succeed in any aims. I think i wrote that 2010 was to be a year of strength but on reflection it definitely did not feel that way, it was more the year of LAG (virtual world term used to express slowing down to a crawl). There was some good films such as Scott Pilgrim, How to train your dragon and Tron (not to eveyones

I have been excited about this film ever since i geeked out about the test show reel at comicon a few years back. The original was such an iconic film for a generation that grew up making or playing games on the old Amstrads,spectrums and C64's. I wondered what they would do, would they keep the retro neon vibe of the 80's, how could they translate it to the modern super intense digital age....

About this time last year i was gearing up for 2010 with the hopes of self publishing my own Comic book app on the itunes store to be viewed on the then unannounced iPad.

The statue stands in what is now fondly called by the towns residents "Dead Centre of Babbage". It's the oldest part of the Virtual Steampunk town with actual historical experience dating back four years. The story about the statue is simple and relatively easy to find, broken into parts that you can discover after searching for clues and presented in different media from photo slide shows to

Everyones been  freaking out about this game for iPhone/iPad. It is actually pretty good. Graphics are even better than RAGE, and the swiping controls for slicing and parrying in sword combat is pretty awesomely rewarding. The amount of times i cheered when i beat an opponent, although that might be a side effect of my current cold virus. You play a mighty knight who is out to avenge his fathers

Being ravaged by a dreadful cold thats like having nails hammered into my throat has caused many projects to suddenly halt. The transmedia event in second life that was going so well has suddenly stopped as i try to recompile my brain with other events looming around the corner. So as i concentrate in sedating my infection and try to get much needed sleep i suddenly remember i had not posted a

Want a game that can show off some top quality graphics abilities of the iPad? i think RAGE: Mutant Bash will do the trick. Coming in at a whopping 700mb download it's a good job it's polished with excellent video cut scenes, voice overs and of course some of the best 3D graphics i've seen yet on the iPad/iphone 4. Gameplay wise it has been thought through and is reminiscent of Segas 'House of

Today i was watching the Spending Review on the BBC website when i suddenly had a flash back of watching a film at school about the dangers of playing on building sites.  I remember that at the time in my small village that there was a new estate being built and the local kids had fun playing WW2 in the dug out trenches. The Primary school must have been informed as the following week we were

This App game makes me laugh out loud. The graphics are so nice, simple and warm making it an absolute joy to play. Simple gameplay mixed with plenty of fun puzzle solving physics. Basically you get a box, inside the box is a lil cute monster who likes candy. You have to give him candy thats tied to ropes. The puzzle element is in how you get the candy to the monster in the form of cutting the

My favourite game this month has to be Super Mega Worm. It is so retrotastically mind munching fun that you will have a hard time putting it down to catch the train. You are basically a giant man eating worm reminiscent of a Grabboid from the film tremors and you charge around eating everything in sight. The satisfaction from its crazyness keeps you playing as you smash cars, eat planes out of

It's hard to accept that i have not been to Dumnonni Chronicles since the big May event. That was months ago but felt like years. I've met up with some of the guys in exeter in between, but it's always far more brilliant to meet up at Dumnonni. I had assumed it would be dull and damp, but instead the site as usual was nice and pleasantly warm. I forgot sun cream so i got sunburnt. I also forgot

Those who follow my twitter or facebook are probably perplexed by my constant babbling about escapades and virtual worlds and goonies and renting cabins. It's all of course to do with that hobby i have in that game thats not a game that no one really plays anymore called Second Life.

Those who know me KNOW how excited i was about this film. About 4 or 5 years ago i walked into my comic shop, sighed, then asked the comic shop guy if he had anything new i might like. 'Ah huh, there is this we just got in' he said as he lead me over to the Oni Press indie shelf. 'hmmmm, looks like a mediocre manga' i though upon first seeing the format of the book. 'It starts off as a story

Lots have been happening recently, to much to really write about so i thought id just post some random pictures from my adventures. The adventures being visits to bristol, exeter and stuff. One slightly major bit of news is that my sister (yes i have a sister) is Pregnant and the baby is due in March 2011 which will no doubt make me an uncle. I should probably dedicate an entire post to this,

So this week Scott Pilgrim vs the world finally comes out in the UK after 4 years of waiting. I've known it will be great ever since i first heard Edgar Wright was directing it and he is the only person who can pull this adaption off. I finished reading the comics last weekend and it was a nice slightly soppy ending, but then thats the charm it has, so no disappointment there XD. It's the best

This is a dangerous game. I like my ipad games to be quick moments of joy for those 5 minutes i find spare between rendering video and downloading updates. Problem with Osmos is that once you start playing it's not until an hour later you remember you have work to do. It is SO immersive and engaging with such simple gameplay and controls. The graphics are nice and detailed effects, pleasing to

Two weeks ago i was in Scotland. Usually my parents go somewhere nice abroad where it's sunny and dad does some diving. Well this year they decided against going abroad and instead planned a trip around Scotland. They kindly asked if i wanted to tag along and i agreed. Once in Scotland the terrain seems familiar to the moors of the South West except everything is 100 times larger. With

So my work is finally out there. Although as a kind of test, Conscious my 180 page graphic novel was today published as a four app series thanx to AppPublisher. All i wanted was to publish Comics on the iPad. I did not want the flowing panel bells and whistles most big comic apps are doing, just simple page my page reading which is what you get from the Conscious Apps. There are a few issues

I dont get many games for the iPad because im a rather specific gamer. I dont tend to pay games for long, i like to just pick up and play. I also prefer games were i dont really have to think hard. Thats why i still like Sonic and Streets of rage more than most flashy new games. Babylonian Twins has stood out as a game thats easy to pick up and play and has very mild puzzle solving (so far).

The title of this film would have you in this day in age thinking already that this is a lovely animated family movie by either pixar or dreamworks but NO ITS A FILM ABOUT A TIRE WHO COMES TO LIFE AND AND BLOWS PEOPLES HEADS OFF! which is awesome in itself, yet i am more interested in its apparent quirkyness and cinematography.

I missed out on the last update 3Gs due to being stuck in a 24 month contract so i'm able to notice the speed boost and quality photos more than anyone upgrading from a 3Gs.

So the iPad has been out here in UK for almost a month now and i have been looking at how comics are being published on it. There is a few different ways it's being done, and im not sure yet which is going to be the best way. The first approach is to make a stand alone comic app. A self contained comic book, with it's own special features and self promotion. One such app is the Scott Pilgrim

Dumnonni Chronicles has been telling tales for 20 years. just over 10 of those years i have been going to the events filming and recording adventures. Not as many as i thought turned up, but apparently it was spread over three days so i missed some people. Some old faces appeared threatening to return to crew after their kids were old enough.

During the last week my efforts with creating an iPad comic app heated up. I finally started chucking out pages of work to use in a test app which was fun, i forget how much relax when creating comic art. Unfortunately after working with various 3rd party solutions to my 'numberdumb' problems i found it probably best to wait until i either find a code monkey to build my app, or for the 3rd

It was so great to be out there running about, shouting and realising just how unfit i am :) As for event itself it was good.

Spike Jonze is my new best friend regarding films. I'd been familiar with his work over the years since 'Being John Malcovich' and 'Adaption' and acknowledged that he had a rather kool indie style. But it was'nt untill he delivered to me everything i could have hoped for in 'Where The Wild Things Are' that i fell in love with his work. So maybe i'm biased now but i really enjoyed Spike Jonzes

When i was about 8 years old growing up in a quaint little village with three pubs, i and a group of older boys randomly decided to help a teenager deliver his news papers. He must have been about 16 or 17 and i don't know wether he appreciated the help of a bunch of younger waifs. At the end of the day as the evening drew dark the teenager handed out a portion of his pay to the other boys but

ok so i've kinda updated my blog a little with new template, bits & bobs, yet it looks almost the same LOL. But my first post on this new blog is about a film i saw at the weekend with my friend Jon in Bristol. We first went to see Avatar again in all its glorious 3D, and there really is something a bit disney about it. Also we discovered that it's actually not all projected in 3D. The second

The poster for the Yeovilton International Air Day event in July has been chosen at last. This year i've had to stick close to new Identity Guidelines by the Royal Navy which hopefully wont stifle creativity to much. It will prove a real challenge to experiment creatively within the confines of the new guidelines.

Some may remember this time last year i was at Ben Loder's place helping him get some stuff together for a film project he was working on. That film turns out to be Neil Marshall's next film CENTURION.I helped with Arm braces, leg grieves and bags and bits while watching Ben work on the costume worn by Picti bad girl Atain. Today however the trailer for the film finally came out and you can see

One of my biggest problems with my digital life is storage. I have bought countless storage devices to back up my growing mass of digital media (music, tv, films, Apps), and because i use a laptop my media has to be stored on an external drive to make sure my internal drive is free for video editing and the likes. This poses all sorts of headaches for my time machine backup system and also means

Those of you who know me are aware that i rarely get annoyed at anything (except george lucus, Linden Lab, and Fox studios who keep axing my fave tv shows). Ok so there are some things that are guaranteed to annoy me, one such thing is PARENTS INTERRUPTING ME BECAUSE THEY NEED HELP ON THE COMPUTER. They use a Mac Mini to mostly surf the web. My dad looks at ebay and occasionally buys a boat here

So we are half way through January all bloody ready. The first 2 months are going to be difficult to plan time, BUT by March the whole world should be open to me.Im often reading about ROADMAPS online, from companies trying to promise you that they have a plan even if it dont look like there is. So i thought i would make my own roadmap and see if i can adhere to it.When layed out like this, the

Ok so here we go. I'm doing the annual looking back at my blog this time last year, weighing up what i set out to do and what actually happend which i know for some old time readers of my blog is the highlight of their year :-p. for any of you who a only started reading during the last year, enjoy the post.Last years Resolutions were...1.

I dont really wonna dwell on the over commercialised christmas holidays. The pressure to be jolly, give, give, and give more in the form of buy, buy and SPEND needs not to be blogged. I will say that the christmassy feeling was almost non existent and over quite quickly this year. Infact the only place i felt christmassy was in Second Life, but thats not real :-pChristmas day i spent eating and

So back in February i helped my mate Ben Loder with his work for Neil Marshall's centurion. Created lots of vambraces, leg grieves, belts and bags for the picti warriors to wear. As far as i can tell nothing much more is known about the film. The internet has gone quiet about the project and seems more interested in Neil Marshall's next project.I did manage to find a few new pics, one of which

:-| I dont really know how best to write this. On the one side, i could write about how amazing it is, how fresh, how powerful, how somber... blah blah bla.. or i could describe how it felt for me to finally see a film i've been getting slowly and slowly more excited about over the last 3 years. Why has this film meant so much to me, why did i get this desperate excitement as if this film

While in Bristol Jon bought me the new Apple Magic Mouse. It really is the koolest mouse i've ever used. Alongside my 3D Space Navigator mouse im now feel like im at the forefront of interfacing with my computer :-P. To be able to control elements of my computer world with just a flick of the finger on the surface of my mouse seems so intuetive you instantly cant imagine a world without it. Tasks

Joined my friend Jon for a relaxing weekend in old Bristol. Usually we go sample the foods then find a cinema with the latest movies on. It was in Bristol where i saw my first Digital 3D film (Monsters VS Aliens), this time however Jon had suggested we go see some theatre. I always up for a bit of variety and culture was enthused so after a Teppanyaki style meal at the Masa Japanese Restaurant we

So this week is it, It's finally out here in the UK this week. The first image from this film was released back in 2007 and since then i've been getting more and more excited about this film, read about the roller coaster of a ride this film has taken to be the film it needs to be. Spike Jonze is supposed to have created a master piece of film, "a film where adults think about how a child thinks

I've never actually played Assassins creed (accept on iphone) but its influence is powerful and inspiring. The Concept behind it seems to capture what many steampunks find kool about historical fantasy. Assassins Creed Two centres on Venice in the Renaissance period of 16th Century and everything thats awesome about that time.On Top of this they have done a live action movie to accompany the

Last week i got a small package in the post. Upon opening it i discovered a rather spiffing artwork book about Where the Wild Things are. Apparently i won it in some competition i had unintentionally taken part in. Well anyway it was a surprise to say the least and served only to excite me more for the film which is out December 9th in the UK.Mean while all my american friends are telling me that

Was my Birthday not long ago and although the actual Birthday itself was a rather boring affair i did get Birthday messages from those who care, thanks everyone :).I got new Scarf, Gloves, a shirt, a new bag, and my sister got me a spiffing braclet thingy with brass bits on it, nice!.

I did not do anything much for Hallows Eve this year. I of course carved a pumpkin for my mum to stick outside her door for the trick or treaters, of which there was twice as many than previous year.

Im all aching from a most excellent last LARP event of the year. It feels like the year went rather quick. This year was the end of a cycle, with Balor defeated the High King sacrificed, the thrown empty for the first time in 7 years. It's just another example for which 2009 represents a year of change for me. Even though Samhain is not quite yet, although who knows exactly when it's supposed to

Its not long now. i've been following the production of this film for years and now its just over a month to go. Was frustrated and annoyed that they have decided against a world wide simultaneous release on the 16th of october. Instead us UK people will have to wait until December the 10th. Im stupidly excited about this film, and so overwhelmingly worried it'll be shit. To many times have i

Getting back into the old creative spirit has been fun. Jon introduced me to a couple of websites where you can pitch for prizes. 99Designs is the one i decided to try out first. You choose from a list of 'contests' then create a design and submit in the hope your design is picked as the winner and you get the prize money.Sounds easy enough, except there is a lot of things to take into account.1.

Been running about a lot last week. After recovering from some strange allergy i went to Bristol to meet up with Jon. We managed to pack in a lot including seeing Cloudy with a chance of meatballs...Was a fun psychedelic mash of ridiculous ideas enjoyed in eye popping 3D. The man eating chicken did freak me out a bit.We also eat and drank lots, and visited the Arnolfini Modern Art Exhibits which

Well i guess that depends on who they mean by 'the rest of us'. For years i've cried for someone to create a simple drag drop click and poke app that would allow you to build upon the basic gaming templates of yesteryear.

I discovered today that my fave band RESONATE from exmouth has decided its time to move on. But unlike other bands who split up and go separate ways Ed, Matt and Alex have decided to take a step back, recharge, repackage and transform into something more solid.

To make the backgrounds seem more dynamic i think i need to experiment more with different brush types in photoshop.This is Kailem, a gypsy boy sent on a great mission.

This has been doing the rounds lately, its from the soundtrack of where the wild things are and gives an idea what the music might be like. It's by Karen'O who is from the Yeah Yeahs, apparently she used to date Spike Jonze. Anyway Check out the track, it SHOUTS Indie movie :-p
