There is something wrong with video game design, at least a large chunk of it. This is something that exists in every single game, and it’s something you see almost the entire time you’re playing the game. I am talking about the HUD and UI design. This is a big personal plus point for me […]

This week’s Screen Savers proved a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I chose to take a look back at the 1998 film, The Avengers. This film is not associated with the Marvel comic books or movies in any way, shape or form. In fact, this movie is the reason that in the UK […]
