'Dishonored' finale lacks punch

The Brigmore Witches is the end of Daud's journey and subsequently the last of Dishonored's post-release content. Does this follow up to the 'Knife of Dunwall' successfully tie us over until a 'Dishonored' sequel or does this final episode fail to send one of 2012's greatest out on a high note? Let's see, faithful reader.

Letter of Complaint to the Home Office

Sir, 

I watched the BBC's program "Luther", a fly-on-the wall documentary about the Serious Crime Unit in London. Your detectives are a fine body of men, working hard to keep the public safe from satanists, diamond thieves and nutters armed with hammers. I salute them. 

But what hideous neckties they all wear! Talk about a serious crime! I had to stop watching. And what's the point of even wearing a tie if you're going to subvert the whole idea by leaving the knot half-way down your front, like a teenage oik trudging unwillingly to school? 

Is it any wonder that the streets of London are full of glue sniffers, if this is the example the police set? 

I've voted Conservative all my life, but this is the final straw. 

Yours faithfully,  Maynard Dingethorpe

RPGCast - Episode 276: "Manic Pixie Dream Girl"

The Vita gets all the games. Elder Scrolls Online wants all the money. Xbox One wants all the games. PlayStation 4 has all the indies. Finally, Nintendo takes away all the heart containers.

Ouya shows promise, but stutters and sputters

The Ouya is a pretty little game console, powered by Android, filled with plenty of free stuff and primed to be a part of your home gaming experience. But new things tend to have kinks that need to be worked out to better refine them, and the Ouya is very much in that boat right now.

London Underground Pop Up Themed Pub opens in September

More celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the London Underground now include the opportunity to drink in a Tube themed bar.  After a successful pop-up at the London Design Festival last year, Camden Town Brewery are installing a micro-brewery and bar at designjunction.

Running from  the 19th - 22nd September 2013 you can apply for free tickets for the bar at The New Sorting Office on New Oxford Street.  The pop up bar will be serving the new Metropolitan range of beers named after the first steam trains that ran on the London Underground.  These were especially created for London Transport Museum by Camden Town Brewery.

The bar itself is designed by Michael Sodeau, and will have some wonderful London Underground heritage station tiles on display (which I first heard about on Ian Visits blog)

The tiles look so well suited to pubs, it'll be interesting to see whether they pop up in other pubs around London after this.

Special  LED Lighting, suspended on Underground line coloured textile cables, by Nud Collection, will complete the Tube themed  look as well as seating inspired  by original Underground moquette patterns but given a whole new contemporary feel.

Opening hours for the pub are Thursday 19th - 10am - 8pm, Friday 20th 10am - 7pm, Saturday 21st 10am - 6pm and Sunday 22nd 10am - 4pm.  Don't forget to apply for tickets, rather than simply turning up.  I certainly look forward to enjoying a bottle of Fowler Wheat beer.
