That little green mofo, he sure got da movez! (This will no doubt do all the rounds like the Dancing David Brent video did too but the power of Lucasfilm will no doubt execute order 66 and track down every instance of this video so that they can terminate it with extreme predujice.)
While you’re at [...]

And now a musical interlude…
It’s free! Dofus!
… a dragon named Bolgrot arrived in the eternal Province of Amakna. The young Rykke Errel was the only one with sufficient courage to face the terrible creature.
Instead of reducing him to dust as he could easily have done, the dragon prostrated himself before the young paladin and swore allegiance to him.
No, I’ve no idea [...]
Nonsense on stilts
I watched a little bit of Question Time last night. The first topic up for debate concerned the anti-smoking bill (or, rather, the okay-smoke-if-you-want-to-but-we’d-prefer-it-if-you-didn’t bill.) What surprised and, ultimately, irritated me was the audiences constant referral to peoples “rights”. One non-smoker said he recognised that smokers “have a right” to smoke while [...]
You are the sunshine of my life
So Danny Boyle and Alex Garland are collaborating on their third project together, a sci-fi film currently going by the title of Sunshine. As you may remember, we here at Stalker Towers quite enjoyed their last outing with the not-a-zombie flick, 28 Days Later. Hell – I own the DVD, a copy the [...]
SWG: Trials of Obi-Wan
The only problem I have to date with the new Star Wars: Galaxies expansion “The Trials of Obi-Wan” is that every time I visit the new planet, Mustafar, I keep humming the tune to “Mustapha” by Queen. Well, that and the blatant disregard for any sense of continuity or consistency with the Galactic Civil [...]
Red 6 is down, I repeat he is down!
William Hootkins has died.
Star wars geeks might remember him best as Jek Porkins, the fat rebel pilot who died during the assault on the Death Star. He was a great character actor who had bit parts in lots of famous films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark (as one of the [...]
I Kicked The Devil’s Ass
Hellrunner is probably the toughest race I’ve done to date. It’s as exhausting as Tough Guy without any of the silliness or distractions of obstacles. The course itself has, apparently, been made tougher than last year by upping the distance to about 11 miles and putting more hills in the way. The [...]
IGN Previews SWG: Trials of Obi-Wan
I have already pre-ordered the new expansion pack for SWG so will be getting it tomorrow, one week early than official release (which means it will no doubt be full of bugs they’ll spend the next week hotfixing!). This preview by IGN is a week old and doesn’t really give away anything new that [...]
Used and Abused
That awfully nice man, Trent Reznor, he of Nine Inch Nails fame, is auctioning several autographed guitars on eBay. They’ve all been used on stage during the last tour and are in various states of disrepair having been, well, all but destroyed during his on stage antics. All money raised is being donated [...]
