Samsung Galaxy S8 The Samsung Galaxy S8 was launched in April this year and in June I became the lucky recipient of a shiny new one, as mentioned in an article last month. I had furtively planned to acquire a Galaxy S7 Edge, but in the end I’m glad I held out till serendipity came […]

I first played DOOM 3 when it was released in 2004. At the time I was running a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz PC with 2Gb of RAM and an Nvidia 6800GT 256Mb AGP video card. Of course back then I thought my PC was the mutts nuts and here I am thirteen years later playing DOOM 3 […]
