I know this isn't exactly what most of us want or need but I like where this smaller computing technology is going, have a look chaps.

Well if anything at least it looks pretty.

Got to thinking about this when the Tomb Raider theme came up on my YouTube playlist.

I think that the original Tomb Raider is still possibly my most favourite game of it's time and I still feel like playing it except for trying to recreate something that had it's time and place.

I'm going to pick some others though.

1) Tomb Raider (the original) - originality, playability, puzzles, music, shooting monsters. Also a great game to play with friends. Lara.
2) LOTRO - immersive, nice graphics, exploring, massive worlds, great social gaming.
3) Pro Evolution Soccer (PS2) - needs learning, fun against friends, obviously fun if you like football. I haven't played it for years though.
4) The X-Files Game (1998) - felt like being part of an episode, I am a big fan. Did things not seen before. Took some thought.
5) SimCity/Cities:Skylines - classic builder game and taken into modern times with Skylines. Incredibly addictive.
6) Theme Hospital (PS1) - addictive in a similar way to SimCity, but with injected humour.
7) Lords of Midnight - ZX Spectrum. Still fondly remembered by me. Like chess on a grand scale.
8. Gangsters - Addictive old PC game about running the mob.
9) Vanishing of Ethan Carter - wonderful graphics and a return to more classical adventure games. Still underplayed by me, but one of the newer games to stand out for me.
10) Neverwinter Nights - an RPG game inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Basic graphics now, but lovely animations and spells. The best interpretation of D&D outside of pencil and paper for me.

Well that's ten, in no particular order, except I think Lara tops it for me, have you got some to share ?

Who's going to need the cloud for backups when we have this.

QuoteWant to make sure you back something up indefinitely? Then you could do worse than a new digital data storage technique that uses laser light to store 360 terabytes of information on nanostructured quartz for up to 14 billion years.

I was doing a little bit of research on the subject of astrophotography on Youtube, when I saw something in the sidebar that caught my eye, so I took a gander. It was an "off the wall" subject that I found rather interesting, so I thought I would share:

There's been loads of hyperbole in the news announcing the measurement of gravity waves.

Here's the science. BTW they are very, very, very small.

Been a while since we've had anything to post in here so nice to be able to post something goo.

This is pretty darn cool:
