Well, the NDA (Non-disclosure Agreement) has been lifted on this MMORPG, and now I can reveal I am amongst the Beta testers.

This game, although unfinished is sensational! If you are a fan of the Tolkien world (and who isn’t!) then you will quickly become engrossed in this game.
Each playable race, be it Human, Elf, Dwarf or Hobbit starts the game in a unique stunning instance story-line, unlike most MMORPGs out there.

Recently here in the UK we were hit by a couple of days of bad snow (so of course the country ground to a halt)… If only we’d had some of these babies:

The Yuki-taro Robotic Snow Plow!
Yuki-taro has a GPS system and video cameras in the ‘eyes’, to guide itself around. Snow is ‘eaten’ into the mouth area, the snow is compressed into hard blocks, which Yuki-taro then… erm… excretes out of the back.

That’s right! Our own lil Zoe “You ain’t my muvva!” Slater, ex-Eastender Michelle Ryan, is to star in a pilot for a remake of the 70s classic, The Bionic Woman. The show is being made by NBC, and according to BBC News it’ll be a “re-imagination” (thank you SO much Tim Burton for that phrase…) of the original.
Have to say, of all the shows, there are worse ones that they could revived than one with a kick-ass hot chick in the lead role (yes i still miss Buffy…) So, …
