Proof of the Decline of Gaming
Thursday, December 23rd, 2010I’ve heard a lot about the decline of gaming (or to be a bit more focused RPGs) in 2010. I’ve just read the final, ultimate, absolute proof that gaming isn’t what it used to be. The reports of the theft of 1,753 cards with a value of just under $45,000 from WotC demonstrate the depths […]

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010With sub-zero temperatures all week I’ve not taken my camera out. So here’s one I made (months) earlier: a simple photograph of a tree in Sefton Park Liverpool.

SkinVue9 Review
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010I’ve used David Burdick’s SkinVue since it first came out. This handy tool for Vue speeds up the process of making Poser figures look good in Vue. It can work with figures brought in as Poser, obj, or Collada import so both Poser and Daz Studio users can make use of it. SkinVue can work […]
A Cold Picture for a Cold Day
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010It’s bitingly cold again today so I decided to post another picture I took last week when Liverpool was foggy and covered in frost. This one is of the thick frost on a section of the chain fences at the Albert Dock.
Monsters Review
Sunday, December 12th, 2010Just back from seeing Monsters at FACT in Liverpool followed by an excellent meal at Tapas Tapas. Monsters is a science fiction, road movie, love story, monster invasion film and I can’t think of a single film to really compare it to. Six years after giant aliens landed on Earth the South of the US […]
Albert Dock in the Fog
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010Sunday night a thick fog descended on Liverpool. By Monday lunchtime it had lifted but I was still able to get some interesting photographs down on the waterfront at Lunchtime. I was surprised how many people were out with their cameras. Normally if I wander down there at lunch time there will be tourists about. […]
