Food Trivia - Beetroot

Did you know that in the US, they don't have beetroot on their hamburgers? In fact, when I was over there I asked a hamburger guy about it, and he didn't know what I was talking about. You guys are missing out! Wikipedia has an interesting list of hamburger ingredients from around the world on...

Denon DVD-1930 (for Australia)

Thought I'd post a few comments about my new DVD player, the Denon DVD-1930. Although the 1930 has been available overseas for some time, it was only released in Australia a few weeks ago, so with any luck this post will draw some interested Aussie readers here. The 1930 is an upscaling DVD player. That...

More on the 360 and the Web

Ok - after I posted about the drawbacks of a web browser on the Xbox 360, Crucible brought up the topic of RSS feeds . I left a comment on his post, but I'm going to elaborate here. Currently the 360 has a great interface for streaming pictures, music and video from your PC. You do all the content...

A Web Browser on the Xbox 360?

I hear a lot of people asking Microsoft to add web browsing functionality to the Xbox 360 dashboard. I'm starting to think that this wouldn't be a good idea. For starters, unless you have a high definition TV, you're running a resolution of either 480 or 576 pixels in height. When was the...

Dead Still Rising

After a few hours' playtime on the weekend, I managed to progress a little further into Dead Rising . Man, this is a frustratingly-difficult yet kick-ass fun game. I've had it for ages and yet I'm still only up to dawn on the second day, which means I'm less than a third of the way through the 72-hour...
