Doom - Level 1

I seriously hope I don't quite have to explain this game to anyone, but the first track on the soundtrack still gets me pumped for the run and gun experience that is ID's Doom. My first experience of this had been on the Atari Jaguar, which owing to hardware limitations didn't have any music. Arguably this lead to a creepier, horror-filled experience of the game (try it without music to see what I mean), but after getting in on deathmatch games on my school's PCs, this changed the game into a much more fun filled blast-a-thon. Still a great play nowadays as well.

Quick review: X-Factor pack

I was showing a couple of Dutch friends around London recently and came across a cheap box set that my favourite music store Fopp were selling. It's an X-Factor branded Karaoke set (despite the Lucky Voice logos everywhere, only this is designed to be used with a laptop and internet connection. For a fiver, I thought it would be worth messing with, if only for a few cables and a microphone.

Going gold for Team GB

Proud to be British at the moment, given the amazing results with Team GB in some of the Olympic events this year and I have been enjoying them from the comfort of my own flat in the company of friends. Should I also mention that my flat looks over the Olympic Park? Amazing fun to be had in London at the moment!
