Sushi Cat 2, Battlefield Heroes and From the Basement
So the internet ran out of space last week. Panic! Except what actually happened was that we have essentially run out of IPv4 addresses, which isn’t quite the same thing. Especially since the powers that be already knew it was going to happen and the transition to IPv6 is underway. In a shocking departure from [...]
Late to the Party – Burnout Paradise
This is the first of a new series of posts in which we take a look at big titles from past years that we’ve only just got around to playing. First up, Jules Benson looks at Burnout Paradise.
I Am An Insane Rogue AI, Free Studio and Lifehacker
Nintendo’s 3DS announcements from last week were quickly followed by Sony’s unveiling of the PSP2. Sorry, the ‘Next Generation Portable’, as they’re insisting on calling it for now. There’s no denying that it’s a very nice piece of kit: two analogue sticks, front and rear touch panels and cameras, and, uh, a compass! And all [...]
Robot Unicorn Attack, VLC and Someone Else Will Put it Back
Welcome back! Finally you can enjoy your Christmas gadgets and games without feeling guilty about not revising.

There’s been plenty of tech news [...]

With that in mind, this week I joined a newfangled social media site known as ‘Twitter’. Yes. Ok, so look, the thing is, I’ve been avoiding it because I knew it’d [...]
Don’t Shit Your Pants, AVG and 3D Buzz
Has anyone out there bought Kinect yet? Clearly it’s not exactly student friendly, with the large price tag and the requirement for six feet of space in front of your TV. And that’s just single player – multiplayer requires a mighty eight feet if the camera is to track both people properly. Still, we’d love [...]
Happy Wheels, DownloadHelper and The Phonograph
By the time you read this our games blog will be live, but I probably still won’t have managed to think of a better name for it than ‘Games blog’. So leave a comment here or email tech@leedsstudent.org with any better suggestions. I know I ask for emails every week, but currently I don’t get [...]
