My essays were going quite well. I was progressing through them at quite a decent rate. At one stage, it looked like I might even have finished the first one by now.

And then the Xbox 360 arrived.

Review: De Blob

The story The planet has been taken over by the evil INKT Corporation, a corporate military dictatorship hell-bent on draining every last drop of colour from Chroma City. It's not long before Comrade Black has turned the entire town grey and enslaved the population. Enter the Colour Underground, the last pocket of resistance, and their secret weapon... de Blob. The game The game is split into ten levels, where the object is to restore colour using de Blob as a giant, comic paintbrush. Smashing open Leechbots and draining them of the colour they're carrying enables de Blob to "paint" the buildings by jumping on them. Once enough buildings have been restored (in other words, once you've collected enough points), you can advance to the next sector. Along the way, there are four categories of mini-games and challenges, some of which have to be completed to allow you to progress. These include races, painting challenges and battling the Inkies (foot soldiers). T...

Marrakesh Formula E circuit revealed

By -
The next round of the 2016/17 Formula E championship season will take place around the Moulay El Hassan circuit in Marrakesh. The race on November 12 will be the first time the series has visited Africa, and has been scheduled to coincide with the international climate change conference, COP22 . The track, which has recently been remodeled, hosted two races in the  World Touring Car Championship earlier this year. It runs along public streets for much of its length, before entering a section of purpose-built track around the old paddock. At almost 3km (1.8 miles), it is also significantly longer than the likes of Paris, London and Hong Kong. Indeed, it is currently the longest track on the calendar, so drivers will need to think carefully when planning race strategies. Sébastien Buemi tops the drivers' standings after the opening race in Hong Kong.

Hello everyone, happy new year! Better late than never, eh? Sorry about the lack of blog posts. I haven't written a "regular" blog post since July (and that was a semi-rambling embittered rant about the government). There are two reasons why: 1. I get bored very easily. Which means I blog for a few months, then I get a temporary obsession with photography , then I become an insufferable music buff for several weeks, then I go and buy a load of gadgets... it's just what I do. Anyway, I'm back in a blogging mood at the moment, so enjoy it while it lasts. 2. We don't have 24/7 broadband at the flat. We have one mobile broadband dongle to share between three laptops. Coupled with the fact that I have a nifty internet phone (great for checking e-mails, a bit fiddly to write anything longer than 140 characters on), this means going on the internet to casually surf and submit various missives to a blog is a bit of a rarity these days. But now I'm b...
