Kyle White’s blog

After a sudden change of heart, I’ve decided to keep the old dog running. Expect some new posts in the near future (life is hectic at the moment).

Hope you’ve all had a great Christmas & New Year!

Let’s hope 2010 brings better things for all of us.

I’m bored of my website now; as I bet many of you guys are too (not that anyone actually comes here any more).

Grab whatever files you need (e.g. HoTD OST, Mr Scruff links etc), as on the 26th December 2009 this website will be closing its doors.

Few reasons for it really… laziness, lack of funding, motivation, no creative flair etc..

A big shout out goes to those of you which attempted to “hack” the IT Crowd Season 3 boxset; I hope you guys stick with it and make some progress!

To anyone else which posted constructive comments, supported the website and generally helped make the website what it is was – I thank you.

Take it easy guys (and gals).

P.S – You can still stay in touch if you need to: Facebook / Twitter
The music you hear is by Ennio Morricone and it’s called “L’Estasi Dell’oro (The Ectasy of Gold)” – Listen to the full track on Spotify

What a great piece of software. If your not using it already; download it now.

Spotify is basically an iTunes “clone” if you will (well the interface is at least), which allows you to stream full songs with almost no buffering delay. The tracks are in 160kbps OGG format; although if you upgrade to Premium you’ll hear everything in glorious 320kbps OGG.

Spotify is backed by major labels and is constantly adding new content (keep up with them via Facebook & Twitter).

So, you say – is it free? The answer would be – Yes! The only issue you’ll have with the free version is the bit rate will be limited to 160kbps and every few tracks you’ll hear 15 to 30 seconds (approx) of advertising. I’m willing to stick that given the consequences. It’s like listening to a radio station with ONLY the music you like; and hearing the odd advert now and then.

I know this post seems like I’m a Spotify salesman (haha), but I just love the software. It’s unbelievably easy to use and perfect for any music lover.

Sign up here and download here.

Oh; and the one last thing – you can create playlists of your favourite tracks which can be accessed wherever you go, and can even be shared with others.

To listen to my playlist (which is frequently updated); click here (this playlist will auto update for you when I add new content too!).

Woah time has really flown by!

Won’t overload with text so here’s some quick bullet points;

• Michael Jackson – Moonwalker “Let’s play” is on hold for a bit – I will definitely get around to finishing it soon though
• I’ve lost pretty much all hearing in one ear (sucks, but it’s being fixed – albeit very slowly)
• I’ve met up with old friends (long overdue, sorry guys) – and got a kitten (Ozzy)

• I’m looking for someone to go to Summer of Sonic with
• I’m dreading going back to university
• Loving Windows 7, it’s Vista – done right
• Disgusted at the price of DJ Hero
• Learning to cook more often (mmm stir fry)
• Is considering a PayPal donation button; which would go towards the ‘Kyle White Thai Bride Donation Fund’
• Left 4 Dead 2, Serious Sam HD and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 all look stunning (how they play however is another matter)
• Futurama cast have signed on for the all-new season on Comedy Central in 2010
• OMFG Pure Pwnage signed for a TV deal with showcase – will air in 2010

That’s about it really.

I’m still alive! (for those who read this blog! all 2 or 3 of you)

As you can clearly see from the screenshot below; I’ve decided to upgrade to the new channel design slightly ahead of the forced YouTube upgrade. I have to say, it’s not bad. To view my new YouTube channel click here.

As promised; I’ve started a “Let’s play” of Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker for the Sega Mega Drive. I’m uploading new parts every other day, the playlist (as it currently stands) can be viewed via the embedded player below.

Stay tuned for the whole walkthrough; as well as plenty of other new video content over the coming days/weeks (for real this time).

May you rest in peace Michael.

You will not be forgotten.

In tribute I’ll upload some Michael Jackson’s – Moonwalker (Sega Mega Drive) footage within the next few days.

For the full news report; click here.

My first “Let’s play”. No voice-over; just a playthrough of this humurous game – with any mistakes edited out (see if you can spot where they’ve been badly edited out).

The video consists of 5 parts; all of which should play in order via the embedded player above (omg YouTube has a feature which actually works).

Please rate and comment via YouTube or here

YouTube didn’t screw the video up completely for a change (be sure to select HQ!).

This is a quick bit of footage showing me playing the japanese import of Let’s Tap. Not really got a clue what I’m doing; but sure looks like fun right?! Sucks that the recording lag reflects my timing performance-wise. Will have to find a solution to that..

Will get my hands on the PAL version shortly; and who knows.. maybe a full blown review with voice-over/score is in order..

About damn time .
