Tool Live

Tool @ Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne, 31 Jan 2007

Like Muse the night before, this was my first time seeing Tool play live in the flesh. Having listened to their albums for years, and hearing about their live show second hand, my expectations were fairly high.

Controls take a bit to get used to and don’t have the ‘arcade’ style feel of NBA Live 2007. I like to start with a rubbish team and then … Read More

Children of Men film review

Children of Men is described as a dystopian thriller. Set in the year 2027 the future looks bleak. The entire human race has become infertile and no one knows why. All hope seems to be lost. Anti-depressants and suicide solutions are dispensed on a mass scale. The youngest person on the planet is 18 years of age. Terrorism and war … Read More
