So how can you control Knuckles, and what happens when you collect all the Chaos Emeralds?

The post is full of spoilers that involves when you unlock the characters and the Chaos Emeralds, so if you don’t want to know, then just admire the picture above.

But if you’re in a dangerous mood, read on and be enlightened.

image

When you’re setting up a website, the main thing you want to do is to relate and communicate to whoever reads what you put up. One way can be e-mail, another can be  asocial network.

Chatwing though, offers a new way which seems to be a faster and easier way to communicate with visitors.

I was given the opportunity to give it a try, and this is what happened.

Continuing on with my ‘Link to the Past’ series, the next game is another all time classic in my eyes.

As Metal Gear Solid V was finally announced to the world a few weeks ago, I thought it was only fitting that I’d write about my favourite entry in the series.

Looks to be the game of the year.

Set in Los Santos, previously seen in San Andreas, this is set in the present day, with inter-winding storylines throughout the game that looks to be a huge single player campaign.

A Guide to Web Design & Development

What this post isn’t. It’s not going to contain much “how to” material but moreso my recommendations on helping you getting started and to learn more efficiently.

With under a month to go, I can see the new iteration focusing more on TV than just social features that the PS4 was shown to have.

Should be an eventful time.

Hopefully there will be actual demos to play this time, unlike another event from Microsoft last year.

WWDC 13 Announced.

After last night’s conference call saying there would pretty much be no new products until fall (although I’m hoping for the new refresh of the Macbooks in June) iOS 7 and 10.9 are certainly to be shown.

A UI refresh of iOS is surely to come, along with Siri and Maps coming to OS X.

And in the same week as E3 as well, a good week to come, roll on June 10th.

I’d been following it on Facebook and Twitter, and finally It had opened.

With me coming back to Lincoln for a few days, a booking was made, and what happened next, was incredible.

My Grandfather Groucho

“Is Mr. Marx in?”, the voice at the other end said.

“Who’s calling?” I asked.

“I work at the NBC storage warehouse in Englewood Cliifs, New Jersey,” the man said. “We’ve got several boxes of 16mm reels of film from ‘You Bet Your Life’ and we were wondering if Mr. Marx wants any of it. If not, we’re going to destroy all of it tomorrow.”

“Destroy it?” I asked increduously. “Why would you do that?”

“We’re trying to clear space for the newer shows. There’s a lot of stuff from the ‘50s and ‘60s that we’re getting rid of. If Mr. Marx would like it, we’ll be happy to send all of the reels to him.”

I told the man to hang on and ran back into the dining room.


Brilliant Story by the grandson of Groucho Marx.
