Bye!
I can't really believe I'm typing this, but this afternoon is my last here as editor of Shiny Shiny. Without getting all Kate Winslet on your asses, I really have had the most fantastic three years here at Shiny Media, and I'll be really sorry to not be bringing you the pinkest, most diamond-encrusted, most…
Japan gets special coloured editions of the DSi
We've not even had a brush with the upcoming DSi here in the UK yet, and already those lucky folks in Japan are getting special edition colours. Whilst we'll get the black and the white version, we won't be seeing the pink, lime green or blue at launch, as far as we know. But there's…
Rock Band 2 finally coming to the Wii and Playstation
No longer is the right to rock something reserved for Xbox 360 owners - as of the 24th April, Wii owners will be able to get their hands on the Rock Band 2 kit, and on the 27th March, PS3 and PS2ers will be able to do the same. For the Wii, the game alone…
Microsoft shows Xbox Live player Red Ring of Homophobia
Watch out Xbox Livers - enter your sexual orientation in your profile, and Microsoft will have you removed before you can say 'Milk'. Teresa was apparently harassed by other Xbox Live users for having the fact that she was a lesbian in her profile, and despite moving from game to game to avoid those people,…
Friday Video Fun: Animal 24-7 with sign language
Adam Buxton is something of a hero round these parts. For those of you unfamiliar with his heroism, he's a comedian who can currently be found presenting a radio show on BBC 6 Music (the resulting podcast of which is one day to be to blame for getting me smacked for mistakenly laughing in someone's…
Xbox Live gets more interactive content
Xbox Live is getting a whole load of new content, from gaming to films. If you're a fan of both Coldplay and warbling, you'll be pleased to hear that Lips is getting a number of Coldplay songs, including The Scientist, Speed of Sound, and In My Place. There's also new songs from The Fray, Angels…
Shiny Poll: Love online
Apparently, more people now go to find true love on MySpace and Facebook than in pubs and clubs. And I can kind of see that being true. Personally, I'd forego Facebook and MySpace for Twitter - any guy that can stay consistently witty and interesting in under 140 characters is surely worth a date. And…
Panasonic's Freesat Blu-ray player: One box to rule them all
Screw the fact that having your Freesat, hard drive and Blu-ray all in one box means you've got more space, the more exciting things is that there'll just be one plug to deal with. La awesome. The DMR-BS850 features a 500GB hard drive, Bluray writer and twin Freesat tuners, so you can watch one HD…
Shiny Review: Pentax Optio W60
I've just come back from holiday. Yeah, it was great, thanks for asking. Yeah, really hot. No, I just lay about and read books, to be honest. What? What do you mean, why am I telling you all this? Oh yes, I took a waterproof camera to get an idea of just how it stacked…
H2Oh bugger I forgot to set my alarm
Apparently, whilst I was sleeping, water turned into battery juice. Honestly, you close your eyes for eight hours and the whole world turns on its head. This alarm clock runs off H2O, with a little help from the internal battery which they promise will last about two years. When it dies, you can further save…
