Icebreaker Merino Thermals Product Review

E-mail PDF

Things have been pretty quiet on the total-geek front, because we’ve been SKIING in NEW ZEALAND!!! (Who’s jealous? :P )

And now that we’re back, we’re here to sing the praises of the stuff that kept us warm and safe. I’ll start with the thermals we bought, which are made by a company called Icebreaker, which makes their apparel from the wool of a breed of sheep called the Merino, and they’re special little sheepies: Super fine Merinos are regarded as having the finest and softest wool of any sheep.

Why excessive DRM is killing PC gaming

E-mail PDF

I'm a keen but infrequent gamer and I value the rare moment when I can get stuck into my favourite online multiplayer game very much.  I tend to only get a couple of hours each fortnight to put into this hobby but I enjoy it immensely... provided everything is working as expected.


But something I'm noticing more and more over the years is how excessive DRM and antipiracy measures are punishing me as a loyal customer to the point where I'd like nothing better than to meet with the upper management of the gaming companies and return my game via their rectal letter box if you know what I mean.

Tall Order Giraffe Encounter at Werribee Open Range Zoo Review

E-mail PDF

Oooh, haven’t we been a naughty bunch of slackers here at Total-Geek.com: no updates for like, AGES. Tsk tsk.

Well, we’ve been BUSY. And just to prove it so you’ll get off our backs with your tsk-ing, here’s what we’ve been up to. We’ve been to Melbourne! Most of my work colleagues find it extraordinary that someone who has lived in Australia all her life has never been to Melbourne, but in my defense I am a –terrible- flyer and to make matters worse, my Stemetil failed me!!!

A doctor who got airsick on a 2.5 hour flight despite antiemetic medication. Just disgraceful.

Anyway, once there, no troubles at all in the emesis department and we proceeded to Werribee Open Range Zoo, which is about a 35min shuttle ride out of the CBD. We pre-booked via the zoo website and were picked up outside the Victorian Arts Centre. Weather was lovely, we got there nice and early and had time for a wander about the place and take happysnaps. The zoo itself is lovely and clean and the animals seemed perfectly happy (but I’m a doctor, not a vet, so.) [Editor: Sorry I couldn't help myself. Here is the real doctor link]

Bumble Jumble Party

E-mail PDF

Oooooh, we're a clever bunch of little nerds here at total-geek, and a bit chuffed with ourselves about it too, because...wait for it:

We've just released our first iPad game!

Presenting: dum da da DAAAAAAAH...Bumble Jumble Party!!!
<insert: applause, trumpet fanfare, laser light show, etc>

I know, we are just too good. :P (and yet, we can't manage to update our website with any sort of regularity. Go figure.)

Bumble Jumble Party is a party word game with levels to suit all ages. Play it with your kids (they won't realise it's educational, we promise), play it with your spouse (cause you're not trying to prove that your IQ is totally higher, or anything), play it with your whole family! It's challenging, it's addictive, and of course it's LOADS of fun. Because otherwise it'd defeat the purpose. Duh.
