[Video] Project Natal Preview

I’ve been surfing YouTube, as you do, and I stumbled across a nice video from Channel Five’s ‘The Gadget Show’, showing presenter Jason Bradbury testing the actual hardware from the E3 conference. Below is the video uploaded to Gadget Show’s YouTube:

Personally, I’m still sceptical about Natal, don’t get me wrong it seems like one hell of an invention, I’d have to see it, and use it, to believe it has a future and will push gaming to that needed, next level.

A Little Clean Up

Ok so I’ve cleaned the site up, it was looking terrible, so I’ve ripped out the old theme which looked gastly, and installed a gorgeous new blue/dark theme, which looks very nice, and showcases 1 of my photos, which is above! So, what’s coming soon to the site? I’m going to finish the pages, I know, taking me forever, but still, it’ll be ready very soon!

Also, you’ll notice a lot more reviews, for more on this, pop over to my “About” page for more information on my review writing and also where I write reviews for…

[Review] Skullcandy INK’d Earphones

I’ve been using the Skullcandy INK’d earphones now for around 2 months, and the quality of the product is incredible. I paid around £9.99 for my earphones, and overall I’ve been extremely impressed with them.

- Design
The design of the Skullcandy INK’d earphones are very minimal, using a single cable from the headphone jack, to a centerpiece in the middle of the line with the skullcandy name. Then the cable splits into 2, leading to the very efficiently designed ear-buds. These seemed to be made from metal. I have the dark grey ones, so I see a dark metal outer, with a plastic black band which is actually used for bass reflex. The back of the ear-buds have the skullcandy “skull” logo, and are very small in the hand. The ear bud attachments vary in size, I personally recommend the biggest ones to hold them in your ears, and to block out all outer noise.

- Performance
I use my Skullcandy INK’d earphones with my MacBook & iPod Touch, both have a very high output for audio, and these earphones just do not give in to any pressure, volumes or strength I throw at them. I’ve had my iTunes on full volume, my MacBook on full volume and the EQ inside iTunes on +12db to really push the earphones, and they didn’t give in. This to me shows that these earphones are made to withstand the best of pressures, and are definitely reliable.

- Protection
The only thing I can recommend when using thee earphones, is that don’t get the cables tangled up. If you can, also clean the ear-buds every now & again to maintain performance.

My conclusion is, if you want performance earphones, with a nice style to them, then definitely get the Skullcandy INK’d earphones.
