I’ve added 37 more games to the Museum! I’ve not updated it in quite a while, and I still have to scan a few covers for some of those games added, but the majority are Xbox Live Arcade/Wii Ware/iPhone downloaded titles, so have no covers to scan. I’m up to 1719 games now. That’s a lot of games.
I had an AMAZING idea this morning. You know kettles, right? They’re great, aren’t they? Thing is, you don’t know how long they take to boil – unless you time it or something. Imagine if they had a computer-style progress bar on them! Wouldn’t that be fantastic? You’d never more have to guess how long left before you have a coffee! You’d know if you still had time to nip to the loo or not! You’d be able to manage …
Today brings the release of ZXGamer -a ¬¨¬£1.19 ZX Spectrum emulator for the iPhone! It currently plays only three games (included) – Batty, Cyclone and Exolon, and it runs a bit slow at the moment, but it’s a start! iPhone 3GS only, at the moment.

I just installed this on my Wii. I don’t know why. I hate it. Posted via email from deKay’s posterous
I had an unusual query this week. A member of staff wanted to create a line graph that showed the chart position of a song over a number of weeks.¬¨‚Ć It’s an easy thing to do – two columns in the spreadsheet, one for “Week” and one for “Position”. Problem is, in a chart, the low numbers are at the top and the high numbers are at the bottom, so the graph comes out upside-down. You can’t just make the …
The main reason being, of course, to simply grab my own name on it. This could be considered a test post. Here’s a picture of a shop that doesn’t exist any more: Posted via email from dekay’s posterous
Over the summer at work, we changed the way staff profiles are stored on the network. Having finally got around the “redirected Application Data breaks Internet Explorer” problem (see here for my fix) in Windows XP, we rolled it out to all users. And all was well. Until they brought their laptops back from the break, and we found they then can’t run various programs or access certain things when not connected to the network. This is because the laptop …
Well, I did in the end as I didn’t have a choice. I read it carefully. Very carefully.
There’s a game on Xbox Live Arcade Indie Games called “I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1” With that spelling and probably that capitalisation. It’s a twin-stick, multiplayer shooter. With zombies in it (in case you hadn’t realised). And it’s pretty good. But… the soundtrack makes it OUTSTANDING. See for yourself:
It’s been quite a while since I posted one of these up. Issue 06 was out “violence special”, with Vice City, Bloodrayne (they made a film out of that, dontchaknow), light guns and the massacre of the Vic 20. Good times.

God only knows why we stopped making this magazine with promises like that.
I teased it a bit yesterday, but here’s some more information on the best games console since the original Game King – the itek! I paid a STAGGERING ¬¨¬£19.99 for this from local supermarket “Roys”. The price says ¬¨¬£39.99 – but that was how much it cost last year when they started stocking it. I knew if I waited long enough they’d drop it a bit, and I was right! Worth the wait? Of course! Unboxening It’s the law of …
