Obviously people who check back regularly on this blog have noticed a major change in the way the site looks. It’s now very red and the layout has changed loads, but before I explain about the layout change, I will just explain why I went for red.

Coca Cola Or Pepsi

It’s the age old battle between these heavy weights.

It's a simple question, Coca Cola or Pepsi? Which do you think is the best?

New Footy Boots at last!

Check out these bobby dazzlers!

Okay so I thought it was about timethat I spent some of my Christmas gift money and invest in some new boots. I suppose it was time to get rid of the old boots (which only have 3 studs left in them!) still might rip out those studs and use them for firm ground instead.

These new boots cost me only £22 from JJB, so it seems that there are positives to the credit crunch after all.

Kinetic Typography

ki·net·ic: Of, relating to, or produced by motion.

While playing the new Call of Duty game (World at War), I was very impressed how the game introduced the user to each game stage. The design used a lot of kinetic movement with images and the typography.

When look back on retro games you have to start with one of the best

Do I hear gasps of ‘I remember that!’?, well you should. The Dizzy series was published by Codemasters but the character I and millions of others loved was created by the Oliver Twins who later went on to form Interactive Studios.

MAG!...must get PS3!

So as many of my mates know, I am a defender of the Xbox 360. I always believed that it was the better console out of the two heavy weights, that and the PS3.

Well based on looking into the game MAG (Massive Action Game) over the past couple of nights my mind is swaying! Thanks to Frog for linking me to this video, I am now seeking what can the Xbox offer up to counter this massive (forgive the pun) game! You can have upto 256 people fighting it out on one server! Anyway check out the video and you will see what I mean, maybe Microsoft and Bungie will answer back with a huge 512 player Halo game...(it could happen!)

A trip to Newquay in 2009?

So it’s been a little while since my last trip to Newquay, next summer it will be 3 years! Although next summer I am going to attempt to organise a long weekend, surfing down around the coast. If you fancy coming along let me know in Jan/Feb 09 so we have an idea on numbers (This post is aimed at actual people I know, rather than the whole internet community!)

New Website and Direction

Finally I have completed the new version of Pixel Artists; it took longer than expected fitting it around other projects I was working on. I have been my own worst critic when it comes to the design and layout of this website and this is either the 4th or 5th incarnation of the site that you see before you, I’m just hoping the users find it has high usability and informative.

A Break Away in Whitby
