Laquo; I made a website. Fiascos and the verge of the impossible. Fugazi is the message. April 9th, 2014. Fugazi have been archiving and making available to buy live recordings of their about-a-billion gigs, which is such a fantastic project, partly for the fact the whole thing plays so true to their attitude. Done themselves, and in this context:. Fugazi’s sound and fury, now on demand. I write and consult on videogames, design and technology. I'm also author of the Minecraft Blockopedia.

Steam in the living room. October 2nd, 2013. So anyway, for Edge I wrote three immediate-reaction pieces to Valve’s fun three announcements last week. SteamOS and what’s next for Valve in the living room. It gives an insight into the many variables that need to be juggled for a computer designed for the living room, and the many values that consumers have for it. Should it be cheaper than an office computer? Does it need to be small so it fits under the TV? Should it be silent, too? The Steam Controller ...

http://www.rotational.co.uk/2013/07/an-old-king
The screen and the real world. July 16th, 2013. Is suddenly starting making a lot of sense. My elderly petty king, Áed Ua Conchobair, better known as King Áed I of Connacht, is now tearing through Ireland, having made decades of clodding mistakes in his earlier years. He’s creating spurious claims on every territory around him, assassinating untrustworthy vassals, and steadily swallowing the island up. I write and consult on videogames, design and technology. I'm also author of the Minecraft Blockopedia.

Laquo; Fugazi is the message. I wrote the Minecraft Blockopedia. Fiascos and the verge of the impossible. July 15th, 2014. I always thought Alessi were a pretty grotesque design company, making expensive objects that bastardise functionality and beauty. The classic: Starck’s Juicy Salif, an orange squeezer that appears to reinvent the way we extract juice from citrus fruit with elegance and simplicity, and which makes a whole fucking mess of it. And what’s this? July 16th, 2014 at 11:19 am. It was shit&#...
