I have these with alarming regularity

I turned my PC on and there was this almighty electric sound crackling and fizzing from the unit. Panicking, I turned off the pc and began trying new wires, checking I had a surge protected socket, yadda yadda.. took me a good 15 minutes to notice the foil packet of tablets resting under some paper ontop of the PC. Turns out the noise it makes when subjected to fan vibrations sounds exactly like you’d imagine it does when a motherboard fries.

panicked again later from *another weird crackling sound coming from the pc. Or maybe it was the slightly open bottle of fizzy pop next to it making sputtering noises.

it’s nice to realize that actually, everything’s fine: you’re just a numpty

Reccomendations:
(could drink these all night no bother)
Yates “Golden Ale”
Highland “Orkey IPA”
Cumbrian “Dickie Doodle”
Northumberland “Fog on the Tyne”
Tirril “Old Faithful”

Others worth a note:
Mordue “All Hallows” (could go 2 pints, no more)
Traditional Scottish Ales “Ginger Explosion” (nice, sweet but not too much. 2 pinter)
Williams “Fraoch Heather Ale” – same, not too sweet
Strathaven “Old Mortality 80/-” very flavoursome, delicious pint but couldn’t drink many

The next prototype from Rust Red Games is a bit of a detour from BrainSplode!

The plan is to produce a series of free games in different genres, and see which generates the most excitement from indie game fans. The next project has a dark tone- Set on an alien colony world, something has gone terribly wrong and you must investigate..

Here’s an early video (test graphics): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgnwXbb1dmQ

the background is a familiar story: you’re a colonist, something’s gone wrong and everyone else seems to be missing.. It’s Alien meets Jurassic Park. The thing I want to do differently is *how* you experience this story. You are always inside your suit: it’s your lifeline. But the computer is connected to the mainframe, and sometimes *it is the one giving the orders..

you wake up in a ‘life suit’, a weakly armed defense transport protective against the constant acid rain and native wildlife. There’s also something very big and very powerful wondering about through the rain..
