Definitely one of my favourite series to be released in recent years, Code Geass is an action-packed, dramatic original anime series that seems to have caught on quickly with anime fans. It reminds me strongly of Death Note in some ways but isn’t quite as disturbing, nor quite as much of a tense thriller. Even if you’re not usually a fan of anime series this might be one to check out.

This is what I hope is the first in a series of posts I’d like to title “Cool Entertainment You May Not Know About”, or CEYMNKA. OK, so that’s a bit of a mouthful. Anyway, this review will be about a show I have enjoyed for a while, Psych, which has just started airing in Australia and I think will be well worth checking out if you’re a fan of detective shows or comedies.
Good news everyone! Bender’s Big Score is out on DVD (and, naturally, torrent sites) and it’s exactly what every Futurama fan has been waiting for. More Futurama! If you were expecting some sort of biblical, mind-blowing, unparalleled Futurama experience then this is most certainly not it – what it is is more of the same. So if you think “more Futurama” is not worth paying attention to then you should probably stop reading now. And you have my deepest sympathy.
This was the first games expo I’ve attended but I must say that it was largely what I would have expected: various game companies pushing their latest games and consoles (Sony and Nintendo doing the lion’s share), various tertiary education institutions pushing their games-related courses (sadly Melbourne Uni hasn’t caught on) and various vendors trying to sell you stuff. Still, overall it was quite enjoyable and great to be able to check out the latest games without having to, say, buy a PS3. Following are some of my highlights from the event and my general review.
I recently discovered eXtplorer, which is a Javascript and PHP file manager. The system looks very impressive and the feature list sounds great for allowing less technical users to manage their own websites (rather than requiring an FTP program). However, from my admittedly brief examination of the software I found that many of the things simply didn’t work or there were enough minor issues to make using it rather annoying.
A relatively short list of things that I’ve found in Civilization IV that tick me off.
