Incredibly long, but superb video of a guy trying to get through a fan created Mario ROM. I have never seen such a hard game.

Serenity is #1 Sci-Fi Movie Ever!!
A poll by SFX magazine has seen Serenity take poll position as the favoured SciFi movie among geeks. While we all know that Serenity is far better than Star Wars, it's still a shock that so many other people are in the know!

Happy Birthday Europe!
Forgive the sheer pro-european-ness of this blog, but with so many die-hard euro-skeptics out there, I felt it was necessary to mark the 50th anniversary of European Union.
Let's be honest here, the combination of so many cultures, languages and governments was never going to be easy. There have been some major screw-ups and embarrassing blunders.
However, when you consider that 60 years ago the continent was devastated and divided, while less than 20 years ago half of europe was shrouded behind the Iron Curtain, it is nothing short of astounding that we now have a growing and vibrant union; one that continues to rise to the challenges of the 21st Century.
What has Europe ever done for us? - enjoy!

300 breaks records
The movie adaptation of 300 has broken box office records for opening weekends in March, taking $70m in it's first 3 days of release.
I have to admit, this is far more than I could have hoped for. While Frank Millers comics are amongst the best available, I'd never really imagined something like 300 as having massive mainstream appeal, a la Spiderman.
Here's hoping it keeps going strong.

300 Trailer with sneaky single frame
Found this new 300 trailer I hadn't seen before. It's pretty cool and has some superb shots that look like they've been perfectly copied from the original comic.

However, once you've watched it. Pause it and drag the slider back to 1:52 and you'll find a sneaky extra frame from a recently announced upcoming Zach Snyder film.
