Magic update
For those amoung you who were wondering how my journey into the world of Magic has been going, here is an update.
I'm practising a few sleights of hand at the moment, without knowing any real 'tricks' to go along with them. I'm trying to get the basics learnt properly so I can concentrate on remembering the stories and procedures for the trick, instead of fumbling at the super-secret-snazzy moves at the same time.
I've alos been putting a lot of study into the Mallusionist site as they details the workings of lots of tricks.

Project Paradroid
Remember Paradroid? A classic Commodore 64 game whereby you had to destroy a shipful of robots by either zapping them or taking them over and controlling them directly. I used to love it!
Now, some clever fellows have remade it to run natively on modern PC's. It uses authentic sound effects from the original and plays pretty well. Thre were a few control niggles when I tried it (delayed keypresses mainly) but it certainly brought back the memories. Better than Paradroid 90 on the Amiga
Click here to take a look for yourself.
Also, if you are interested in the original Paradroid then take a look at this page detailing the process behind the making of the game.
