I’ve recently discovered TVCatchup, an awesome website where you can watch live TV streams for free. It is only available in the UK however, but it has all of the selection of Freeview channels available. It also has an online TV guide so you can check what is on, and when. It is dead easy to use, great quality and loads in seconds. Quite chuffed with it, especially because I live in an area that doesn’t get Freeview.

Nintendo have announced today that the successor to the Nintendo DS will be called the ‘Nintendo 3DS’. This won’t be just another version of the DS, but a new console entirely. It will have full 3D functionality without the need of special 3D glasses or accessories, and will be completely compatible with previous DS and DSi games.
The 3DS is also thought to believe (though not 100% confirmed) that it will have high detailed graphics (possibly the equivalent of the Gamecube, as the patten goes) and the possibility of a motion sensing device. With the success of the Wii, it would be silly not to. It is also said that it will utilise the Nvidia Tegra 2, which would be sweet.
The Nintendo 3DS is set to be released during Nintendo’s next financial year, between April 2010 and March 2011. Could this mean a pre-Christmas release? More details are due to be unveiled at this year’s E3, on June 15th.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I am sure excited about this. Let’s just hope it is more successful than the Virtual Boy ended up.
I recently ended up watching the original Tron film the other day, and it’s flipping brilliant. I’ve heard before about it and never thought much of it, but I went out on a whim to watch it anyway. I’m glad I did. For those that don’t know about Tron, it was a film released in the ’80s based on a guy getting sucked inside of a computer. It had some of the best CGI visuals of it’s time (it still looks impressive today). From this, I ventured out and got the game (Tron 2.0, PC) and that lived up to the film perfectly. I’ve become quite interested lately in old ’80/’90s films based around computers; ending up watching The Net and Sneakers too. It is always interested in to see how old films like this perceive the technological future.
And on another note, I have vowed to actually update this blog more often, as well as use my Twitter account more often. I say this regularly, use it for a while and then forget; but I don’t want it to be the case this time. Not that anyone listens anyway. As if I haven’t posted in about 4 months, not good.
Sexy new blog layout coming later, woop woop. =]
