Lost Season 3 Finale – ‘Through the Looking Glass’
May 27, 2007
The Lost finale of season 3 has now been shown and what an episode ‘Through the Looking Glass’ was!
After two very strong episodes preceding it, I was a little unsure what direction events could take – well the producers have certainly taken the show in a different direction and raised questions as to what the show will revolve around next year.To take a closer look at some of the episode, be sure to go to Lost Screencaps and Easter Eggs: Through the Looking Glass.
The best moments of this double episode has been highlighted here, I’m thinking most of them are pretty accurate, for me, number 1 is definitely right! – Top Ten Moments of the Lost Season 3 Finale.
Lord of the Rings Online Video – Stupid Hobbitsess
May 26, 2007
I’ve recently started playing a new game called Lord of the Rings Online which is an massively multiplayer online game similar to World of Warcraft, but it takes place in Tolkien’s Middle Earth setting.
While reading LotRO Insider over at the Female Gamer website, I saw some a couple of rather interesting videos for Stupid Hobbitsess which like the World of Warcraft videos I’ve posted in the past have been made using the Lord of the Rings Online game. However, in this case the videos would seem to have more of an ongoing narrative than the WoW ones.

May 20, 2007
Over the last few weeks there’s been quite a lot of talk on the Internet about Joost, so in case you haven’t heard about it and tried it yet, I thought I’d just cover the basics of it here.
As you can see from the advert below, Joost combines the best of TV and the Internet. It gives you the ability to watch high quality, full-screen TV shows through your internet connection – I was rather impressed with how good the quality of the picture is when played on my HDTV using a HTPC!
There are no TV schedules to live by, simply load up the Joost application and choose what you want to watch when it’s convenient to you!

May 20, 2007
‘Railroads!’ is Sid Meier’s follow-up to his great Railroad Tycoon games – I remember many evenings and weekends were lost to that 2D top-down aspect game on my Commodore Amiga, especially since it was one of the first business/economic management game with real depth I recall playing.
World of Warcraft Video – Guards!
May 18, 2007
Another World of Warcraft video here, this time it’s a parody based on the American TV show of ‘COPS’, but these ‘Guards’ think nothing of bending the law!
COPS….errrr…GUARDS…”Filmed on location, with the men and women of law enforcement…”
EDIT: Now that I play World of Warcraft (WoW), I can appreciate this video even more, great stuff!

May 15, 2007
I think you’ll find that PDF Creator free very useful, I’ve found in the past that you end up doing quite a bit of unnecessary printing whilst browsing online whether it’s taking a copy of invoices or order confirmation screens or just temporary pages to work from, I kind of started feeling a bit guilty about this, just because of the waste factor of it all.
I then came across this rather useful alternative, it’s called PDF Creator free and all you need to do is download and install the file found at the link below and will then appear in your Windows list of printers.

When I was a kid I used to have a bunch of Transformers, them and my Lego were my favourite toys. But what about the new Transformers Movie Toys?
Last Christmas my brother got me a recent release version of an Autobot car which I now keep on my desk at work for when I get bored!

May 13, 2007
The Zath Premiership fantasy football league that has been running for the past nine months in parallel with the English Premier League has now finished with the final games of the season having been played today and the final results can be seen below.
After missing out by quite a margin last year, my team; Zath Rovers has re-taken the title this year! A special mention must go to ‘FTM’, the ‘Supersonics’ and ‘Team Chick’ for making it such a close race all season long!

May 10, 2007
We have a calendar style thing standing on our desk at work that has witty office phrases and jokes, one of my favourites is a letter template to use for rejecting your ‘rejection of employment’ letters, it goes something like this…
*ADDRESS*
Dear *THEIR NAME*,
Thank you for your letter of *DATE*. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an *JOB TITLE* position in your organisation.
‘Half Life 2: Episode One’ Bargain
May 10, 2007
Half Life 2: Episode One is the follow-up installment to the brilliant Half Life 2 game. I got it when it was first released on the Steam downloadable platform, it’s Valve’s first attempt at episodic gaming and as such means it’s not a full length game, but while it lasts it’s certainly an action-packed experience with some great gaming moments!
I’d highly recommend you playing if you have even a passing interest in first person shooters, check out some of these reviews.
