Hi, One of my many hobbies apart from spending countless amount of money on zeds is programming. And mixed with gaming; both the online and offline types of first person shooters I have medled with creating my own levels and games in the past for the likes of quake, Duke Nukem and Unreal. I've always been fascinated with what in the 80s was considered Virtual Reality and my first experience Seeing this although not in the real world was in the movie Lawnmower Man. This gave you an idea Of what it possible could be like but with 80s style graphics. Fast forward to the present date and we have the first true Virtual Reality system : The Oculus …

Before any one jumps to conclusions, no I haven't been banned for being a bellend :) The other night I was preparing some sound equipment that I sell as a side job for extra cash, I had just listed about half and was putting it away upstairs before going down to do some more. As I was going down the stairs I had a little accident :( I must have slipped about half way and went down head first. Luckily I didn't hit my head so at least my last few remaining brain cells are still OK :) Unfortunately I put my arms out to stop me and as soon as I hit the bottom I realised straight away that I had dislocated my right shoulder, ouch! After 6 hours of waiting to get to…
