Big Brother Tasks I’d Pay to See

Posted by: Shaun In: General

It doesn’t come much more boring than British reality television, mainly due to the fact that our ‘contestants’ are normally idiotic racists who would much rather eat their own shit than socialise with other contestants. Big Brother appears to be one of the most popular and most entertaining reality TV shows here in Britain and [...]

Taste That Linux Flavour

Posted by: Shaun In: Design| General| Technology

One of the main reasons for using an operating system such as Linux, is the ability to customise almost everything.
With this in mind, I’m glad that users have the ability to alter the theme on Ubuntu Linux as the default is not exactly revolutionary or exceptionally pretty.
However, the community can play a huge role in [...]

Every so often (maybe too often) a game is released into the world that does nothing but embarrass the gaming industry.
Since Ebola Cola is mostly made up of avid gamers with personality problems, where unfair levels of criticism, hate, cruelty and being sheer bastards run rife, it seemed cricket to let us open up and go all out on something in life [...]

The giveaway entry with details, prizes and other information can be found here!
What’s more, prizes are being added after every fiftieth entry into the competition, which [...]

Wanna play an evil tabletop RPG?

Posted by: Sk In: Gaming

The turmoil caused by GTA IV’s simulated violence is close to dying, so let’s bring up another evil-ish game. This time it’s a tabletop role-playing game, the genre made famous by Dungeons&Dragons and its variations. Only, this time it’s not a fantasy RPG. It’s titled “kill puppies for satan”, and the title pretty much says [...]

Ebola Cola’s forum goes live!

Posted by: Shaun In: General

As part of the new Ebola Cola upgrades, which you may have witnessed, a forum has been opened in order to attract discussion and a sense of community.
The forum will also be a meeting place for contributors and myself, as we currently have no means of communication.
Since I have been busy tweaking the board and [...]

Whilst walking around town at 4AM a couple of nights ago (sober) with an old friend of mine, I began to muse over the existence of life out there in the vast, most likely infinite quantity of space, human evolution and the existence of god. It’s a classic isn’t it? The moment when it suddenly hits you [...]

50 cent videogame sequel no one asked for.

Posted by: Andrew In: Gaming

Rap superstar 50 cent (famous for hit “in da club”, losing an album battle to Kayne West and having a head the shape of a brick) is starring in a brand new, what looks to be extremely bizarre sequel following up his other videogame. Yeah, me too.
I’ll get onto what it’s all about. The game stars 50 cent himself, (millionaire, music artist [...]

So I was asked to write about the Beijing Olympics for a rather minute article in an online magazine. Needless to say I was rather reluctant at first. How can I write about the Beijing Olympics without pressing my own opinions and views on readers? Even then, how am I supposed to write about the [...]

It’s not often a games company releases a box of perfectly polished games for the price of one. Valve released “The Orange Box” in late 2007, containing five games. Among this treasure trove was a game known as Team Fortress 2, Team Fortress 2 was released in April of this year for PC gamers and [...]
