At this rate I’ll be donning a sandwich-board and pushing leaflets into peoples hands.
Watch me not care
Following on from my previous post, the fallout from the sheer apathy towards the discussion of the Digital Economy bill is, in my opinion, quite justified. Given the significance of the bill and what it means (and the path if paves for further actions against freedom of speech on the internet) it is deplorable that…
Call this a democracy?
The Digital Economy bill – which includes plans for the PEGI ratings system to be passed into law – is set for a crunch debate in the House of Commons today. The controversial plans, which include the infamous ‘three strikes’ rule for pirates and file-sharers, have been labelled by some as a “rush job” –…
Another facelift
WordPress, how I love thee! The iNove theme I’ve been running this site with for a considerable amount of time has done a fantastic job. It’s been a decent balance of swishy graphics and open space for lengthy, ranty content. The time has come, however, for a change. I’d been looking out for something rather…
The Perfect Gaming News Website
I’ve expressed on more than one occaision my utter disdain at the state of the games media today. A lot of this stems from watching all these hack ‘journalists’ letting their egos and bias get in the way of what’s most important – the information. Reading some new article presented as a 800 word fictional…
That I should live to see this day..
Space. Endless void. The remote inky darkness of a cold vacuum. Now with the added thrill of some nobody telling you what he just bought for lunch in Starbucks. Nostradamus, it seems, has nothing on Douglas Adams. Given the way technology has evolved since the dawn of time with discoveries like the wheel, fire and…
Day of the Cat
I’ve always been a cat person, a trait I possibly inherited from my parents. There’s always been pet cats around me – since growing up, moving out, visiting family. They’re everywhere. It’s just as well I’m rather fond of them. In fact, it seemed that we were pretty much the only people we knew in…
Yet another bout of inactivity
There’s not been too much action at koffdrop.com in 2010. I recently started a new job and there’s a lot to learn in the role. I don’t mind admitting that I’m rather brain-drained at the moment and not really up to doing anything cerebral in my free time – even something as undemanding as writing…

10 New Years Resolutions for the Games Media
As 2009 draws to a close a cliched but ever-popular piece of editorial schtick is to present a list of resolutions. If you’re arrogant enough you’ll make resolutions on behalf of others. What better way to show off how you could do someone else’s job far better than them by suggesting how they should improve…
