If you’ve been following my reviews of the wonderful point and click adventures; Tales of Monkey Island Episode One and Tales of Monkey Island Episode Two so far then you no doubt have been dying to read this Tales of Monkey Island Episode Three Review right? Welcome to the third instalment of Telltale’s new adventure in the Monkey Island franchise. This time our hero Guybrush Threepwood is starring in the ‘Lair of the Leviathan’. Please be aware of spoilers of Episode Two coming up shortly. As previously mentioned Tales of Monkey Island is a brand new spinoff of the classic Amiga and PC games released in the early 1990’s. This 5 part adventure from Telltale (the developers of Sam and Max as well as Strongbad’s Cool Game) is a fresh take on the series but does feature input from many of the original developers. Best of all you can enjoy Tales of Monkey Island on both PC or Wiiware.

I just noticed the Twitter Widget I was using on my Follow page had stopped working and have replaced it with another.

I’ve been very interested in Amazon’s Kindle device since it first launched a couple of years ago. It’s not only an E-Book reader but has a built in modem that allows it to go online to the Amazon store and selected websites. I noticed that there were many free blogs available for subscription for the device and thought I would apply to get this blog available for the Kindle too. To my surprise it has been accepted and Amazon have listed it at a $1.99 price tag (content providers have no control over pricing).

Amazon pass on 30% of the selling price to the content creator which might not sound like a great deal, it typically costs me nothing to create my content so anything is profit. But in the end I’m not really in this for the money, however I’m quite interested to see if any Kindle users do check me out.

So whilst I’m terribly excited that Kindle Owners can subscribe to me direct from their Kindle and have my blog with them 24 hours a day, I do wonder if I need to add more stuff to make it worth while – especially if they have to pay.

I’d be interested in hearing from anyone with Kindle experience both on the hardware side as well as producing content for it.

I was recently informed that one of my site’s pages wasn’t displaying correctly (hardly at all) when using Internet Explorer. I’m not sure how it got there, but a huge wad of strange text was at the top of my HTML and was screwing things up. Interestingly the garbage code was ignored by Firefox, Opera and Chrome without problems.

This issue has now been fixed.

I’m looking to get my blog noticed a bit more and was reminded about Technorati.  This is a test post to start using their system.
