A quick note to say that everyone should go and download the Adam and Joe BBC6 Music podcast. Mr Scaul Pulthorpe first alerted me to this now obligatory audio treat and now I find it difficult to believe I ever lived without it.
Rewarding your ears will be lovely features such as; Song Wars, the war of two songs written by both Adam and Joe on a particular topic, Text the Nation, where us humble listener-folk get to put our two-penneth worth of comment in, and… er… well, no other regular features but just lots of amusing chat. Last weeks one detailed how people from Leicester were called Lezzers, another told the tale of how Joe caught shingles from a dirty sailor and my favourite one detailed the new hit film franchise “STEPHEN!”, a word which you will hear me shout from time to time. Don’t worry, I am on medication.
So go on, download it from the BBC6 website here. This weeks, well, this weeks one talks about a ‘Video Wars’ competit...

At some point last year, I spied something on Amazon that excited me and caused me to immediately place an order. This object in question was not of the seedy persuasion but was in fact The Trapdoor Complete Collection on DVD.
I’m hoping that a few of you will have just had memories of Trapdoor and are saying “Oh yeah, Trapdoor! Remember that? I used to love Trapdoor!”. I had the very same thoughts. I remember watching The Trapdoor and being fascinated by it, in that child...

As a youngling I was more of a SEGA person and, therefore, was a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. Now the blue spikey one has teamed up with Mario in a few games, one being Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Unfortunately, they’ve maintained the annoying whiney American voice and attitude that came along with the dreadful Sonic cartoon series.
See the evidence for yourselves. Dudes.
All he needs is a skateboard and to say “No way man!” or something equally stereotypical and the image...
more In review: Microsoft’s Live Video MarketplaceFrom: randomlinkage.com

Launched 12 months ago overseas, Microsoft’s Live Video Marketplace has recently hit the UK . As an opening offer they dropped the price of 300 to a piffling 100 Xbox Live Points. So what better time to dip my feet in the high-def bathtub and slosh the waters of the Video Martplace? Well none, which is why I did just that.
For the sake of my review, I’ll be comparing MS’s service to the nearest alternative available to me, online dvd rentals.
Price: Movies are a mix of ...

In keeping with our New Year promises, here’s… a YouTube video. Sorry. But if YouTube is blocked for you at work then I have a solution for you. Look at it at home! There we go, problem solved.
This video is an amusing take on Wii Fit for the Wii (obviously), a ‘game’ that I questioned when I first heard about it. A game that has you standing on a small white mat and forces you to move about in some strange computer based form of keeping fit? Whatever happened ...
