Check out this photoshop – a nice reference to the end of “The Avengers” – Schwarma!

 

Speaking of films – have you ever wondered what they use as drugs in films? I did, until now

 

Men Everywhere – Does this look familiar?

 

How a mathematician beat roulette – Nuff Said!

 

Fed up of not being “allowed” to watch certain youtube videos based on your location – well here is a work around using a firefox or chrome extension (it’s easy, don’t worry!)

 

Assassins creed 3  – Gameplay Trailer.. looks good!

 

Right that’s enough from me!

Time is flying by, so I can actually say I get married and go to Australia this month. Scary stuff.

 

Anyway, welcome to tales of interest.. blah blah blah… and on to the random stuff!

 

There is a new site for watching TV on your mobile devices Apple and Android (probably not Blackberry though haha)

 

If you need to do something special to your toilet to prove how awesome you are… then maybe you’re not that awesome.. would be better if your waste just fell down the hole though!

 

On another toilet based note (not intentional!) did you know how they tested new toilets? Neither did I!

 

Planking is for losers, the new random activity of choice is Skywalking (no it doesn’t involve lightsabres unfortunately)

 

And on that note, I’m off to sit on top of a pylon in the thunder..

As you may or may not know, this is the UK leg of the Stag proceedings, the away leg being Op Viva Lost Wages in Las Vegas (check out the posts and videos of that one – Epic!). As not everyone is on popstar wages we decided to do a little event in the UK.

 

I can’t promise photos, or a video, but I suspect some will arrive from other sources, and I suspect there will definitely be stories – maybe worth passing on to future generations but who knows..

 

If you’re not going for what ever reason (busy, a Woman (of the group), or you’re in the RAF) you could watch it on Sky Red Button so I hear!

 

One last thing… GOOOOOOOOOOOO AARRRRRMMMYY!!!!!!

A stormtrooper reflects on the biggest failure of his career

 

Gerbil has a 2nd job? I think we should all buy little Kevs to run around with, I’ve never seen him look that smart though!

 

Bored of being in the house? This will make you feel worse – Speed Flying, down Mont Blanc, yes please!

 

New Trailer for G.I. Joe 2 – yeah, yeah, I know.. but it’s got The Rock in it this time.. what could go wrong?

 

A wedding related one now as that is coming up sharpish… Worst wedding photos ever?

 

And lastly, a candidate for the best sunglasses ever? Or at least really useful ones.

 

If you happen to be at the Army Navy Rugby on Saturday.. see you there!

This time it’s my first attempt at a vid, with an edit of the trip to the snow dome last Sat. I took the go pro out for it’s first proper run, just a shame the MK guys don’t like you filming!!

Enjoy – Oh you can’t watch it on a mobile (unless it’s on this page!) or in the US because I used a song as the soundtrack – what a load of shit!

Original on youtube (its up to 1080p too!)

This is the weekly GDC feature that finds interesting news / articles / videos (which are not worthy of a video post) etc from around the internet so you don’t have to!

 

On to the news then..

 

Great comic called “the allnighter” – It brought back many fond Uni memories!

 

Even the cops in Vietnam are kerr-razy – Anything to get that collar!

 

New Kit, the Nike Fuelband (Review) – A wristband fitness tracker which ties into a website or Nike’s iphone App (no news on Android yet), I’m quite tempted by one of these.  However, it’s not out over here yet but it looks pretty good and is worth keeping your eye out for.

 

Info on the new Ghost Recon: Future Soldier game is now coming in thick and fast – this new gameplay trailer shows off some more of the game

 

In Film news the trailer for Looper – a time travel action film with bruce willis and joseph gordon levitt – debuted this week. It looks mega and definitely on my must see this year.. unlike Battleship which came out this week, avoid that turd at your peril!

 

Thats it for this time…

This is the weekly GDC feature that finds interesting news / articles / videos (which are not worthy of a video post) etc from around the internet so you don’t have to!

 

Got a bit thrown out by Easter this weekend but I’m back on it now.

 

On to the news then..

 

Cyclists get crazy with a police chase at 60MPH – I can’t believe this is real..what a nutter.

 

That Bodies guy is at it again – Animals with no skin this time – I wonder if I could commission him to do this to Ellie after she goes – think it would be more natural to have her alseep though.

 

A bit of plane stuff now – F35 Night Refuel - Shame we won’t be able to afford one for years yet.

 

The Amazon Kindle Touch (which I already have thanks to a lovely wife-to-be) is now available in the uk, well available to pre-order anyway – it’s out on April 27th. It’s a really nice peice of kit, and will be great for those of you who take half their baggage weight allowance on holiday with them (So, not lee then)

 

More tech news – I recently acquired a Go Pro (watch the video on that page, it’s awesome!) HD 2 camera which I am amongst other things trying ot attach to the dog. So expect a rundown on that, and some random videos to come up once I figure out what I’m doing (and I learn from the master..Riggers). Also just for Lee – the Picatinny rail weapon mount

[update] Just seen an article about over-use of smart phones which I think quite a lot of people need to read (it includes some rules which are good too) – Overusing my Smartphone

That’s it for this week…Garf.
