Latest mouth-watering Tron Legacy products

Image
Check out these beauties for the forthcoming Tron Legacy film. Original post from Gaming Today website . Then there's the remote control Light Cycle that goes up walls! Also, take note of the Tron keyboard in the foreground. See the video below. Original post from i09 website and video from Wired : From the same website comes a video of the Wii game of Tron: Legacy. Its just what I thought the ZX Spectrum game looked like in my 12 year old mind before the biggest let down of seeing lines being drawn: For those wanting toys there's a video of the action figures with glowing light strips. Oooh, suits you sir! Finally, here's that keyboard you saw earlier plus all images of the forthcoming Tron products. Very tasty! Gaming Bits website provided the original source:

BHF London to Brighton Bike Ride 2010

Image by Ginger DJ via Flickr Our cocktail party on Friday went quite well despite the weather and rubbish England performance. Didn't actually get to see much of the football with the bbq, firepit and cocktails to prepare. Then the rain started. The tarp across the pergola was a blessing and it didn't spoil the evening. Really appreciated that everyone understood the 3am curfew so I could get some decent sleep before Sunday. Plus no breakages! Saturday evening was a sobering early night at 9pm with a sleeping pill. Beforehand I was searching for safety pins and packing bubblewrap with sellotape as I'd heard the courier transport would damage the bikes. In preparation for the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton Bike Ride, Kerry had bought £15 of health and energy food including 2 huge chocolate bars at nearly £3 each. I'd use these later like the special dynamite for the steam train in Back to the Future Part 3 (though didn't achieve the 88mph for t...

Before I Sleep - every Co-op should have a Chekhov section

He kept babbling in Russian and led us through the dark, It was confusing but exciting at the same time.
