Having recently purchased a netbook, and on seeing how slowly Windows 7 ran on it, I thought it would be good to try out Ubuntu Netbook. Despite some initial hassle getting it installed, out of the box Ubuntu is truly excellent, and whilst I am not about to swtich my desktop operating system quite yet, I am seriously tempted.

With Sea of Cowards finally arriving after months of pre-ordering, and my birthday, there have been some lovely additions to my vinyl collection. Considering I only properly started buying records this year I have a fair few now, I can’t see myself going back to CDs any time soon.

As I’ve made a new section for games screenshots on Flickr I’ve started to add things to it. At the moment there are only a couple of sets, but keep an eye out as I will update them as a when I play stuff (and remember to take screenshots). For today, I’ve made a set for Runic Games fantastic Torchlight.
Torchlight is an RPG from some of the guys who worked on the original Diablo games, and it certainly had that same addictiveness about it. Anyone who is a fan of dungeon crawling loot-em-ups should definitely check this out. Currently it is around £15 on steam, but it seems to go on sale pretty much every other week, so keep an eye out.
The team who made Torchlight are currently working on an MMO version, I’m not sure how I feel about that, as co-op play like Diablo seems the more logical route to take.
