"I'm the happiest Siren in the whole wide world!" ~^_^~ -  Zephos

At the request of Apocalust, and also because I really wanted to draw it anyway and just needed a good excuse to, here's my take on Borderlands! Unlike the actual game which is more of an orgy of violence, dismemberment and decapitation, my version is a bit... well... happy, but that's just how I see my Siren's personality. In my mind, she can indeed bake a wonderful cake and doesn't like long walks very much but is a generally happy person who just happens to have horrible luck. ^_^

Thank you for all of your patience, I wanted to invest as much time in drawing it as I did playing the game which in retrospect was probably a obscene amount, and it turned out even better than I expected!

Hope fans of the Borderlands enjoy! ~^_^~

Blinkbox movie streaming comes to PS3

Users will be able to choose from a library of more than 6,000 films and television programmes, including The Hangover, Gossip Girl and 30 Rock. TV shows can be rented for as little as 39p, while movie rentals start from 99p. Users can also buy episodes of their favourite series from 89p, and films from £2.99, and there is also some free content available through the site.
Content is streamed to the PlayStation 3 through an optimised version of the Blinkbox website, which makes it easier to navigate menus and find films and television shows using a PlayStation 3 controller.

“The PlayStation 3 is the first of a number of devices to which we will be bringing Blinkbox," said Michael Cornish, the company's chief executive. "We want to enable customers to use our service on their TVs for instant streaming of new blockbuster movies, available on the same day as their release on DVD, as well as a growing library of free ad-supported titles.
"Gamers want access to the very largest selection of movies for instant viewing, and do not want to lose valuable hard-drive space or have to wait for their downloads."

Ken is pretty spot on in the first one imo.

New GranTurismo 5 Demo

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) and Mercedes-Benz are offering consumers the chance to test-drive the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG – virtually – via Gran Turismo®5 for PlayStation®3 (PS3™). Gran Turismo® is the world’s best selling driving simulation game, acclaimed by motoring aficionados for its ability to give a taste of the real thing, driving the finest cars in the world on some of the world’s most challenging tracks.  Starting in May 2010 customers can visit their local Mercedes-Benz dealership for an exclusive taster of the forthcoming title – a one-track demo featuring the new model at a specially-installed PS3 unit.  The sampling activity marks a new stage in the partnership between developers Polyphony Digital and Mercedes-Benz that has already seen the SLS AMG picked to star on the game’s cover when the title arrives in stores this year.

/// I do wonder how our local Merc' dealership will feel about being overrun by spotty gaming herberts, like we could ever afford to buy an AMG, due to blowing all our spare cash on Sony TVs and piles of  games.

Split/Second: Cars and Tracks

Split/Second

Being the resident petrol head i felt it my duty to download the Split/Second demo off the PSN Store today, what's up with the update being on a Wed's anyways? Anyhoo, i didn't go into this with any expectations, all i knew was it's a car game with power-ups and expolding scenary, the controls are easy, triggers to accelerate and brake, X for stage one attacks and O for stage two scene bending explosions, that's it!

I got past the intro screens and was dumped onto the track, the first thing was how slow it felt and how heavy the cars were, but i had been playing Gran Turismo this afternoon so that may have distrorted it, so on a second game things were noticably better, the cars felt quicker but still well planted on the track and i'd sussed out how to do power drifts around the tighter bends, it's not quite up to Ridge Racer standards but they do feel damn good to pull off. and the racing gets faster as you progress through the laps, which considering the track is a debris field by then gets the pulse racing.

The car designs are pure Burnout inspired and the graphics are very pretty, provided you take your eyes off the track to have a look. The tracks look like they'll have the expected shortcuts though they provide these on a risk/reward basis as the ones on the airport track are rigged with car destroying explosives so if you have someone closing in fast with a power bar lit it may not be the best option to cut the line. But having 'Triple Wreck' flash up on the screen and a slow-mo shot of the guys in front of you turning into a twisted mess is lol worthy, should be a blast in multiplayer.

On one race i was in the lead and blasting down the runway on the final lap when someone behind me triggered a stage two and i was suddenly faced with a crashing cargo plane heading straight for me, luckly i swerved around it, only just missing it as it slammed into the tarmac, and i pulled out a 185yd power slide round into some hangers, activated a shortcut and blew home to victory.
