#9: Fringe Gaming Hello dear readers, Firstly, a massive thank you to those who came along to our show at the Royal Institution this week. It meant the world to me and “King” Rob Sedgebeer to have a full house for the premiere of Wifi Wars v1.0 at such a prestigious venue, and your kind words (and tweets) afterwards have made us two ridiculously happy nerds. We recently made the decision to take the show up to the Edinburgh Fringe...

#8 - I’d Love To See You There This week is one of those weeks where everything collides at once. On Monday and Tuesday I was rehearsing for the musical, Failed States, which we’ll be performing one more time at the Latitude Festival on Sunday, 5.45pm in the Theatre venue. If anyone wants to come along and see what happens when a chubby guy in his 30s from Milton Keynes that plays computer games for a living pretends to be an...

#7: Bovril, Pyjamas and an Anxious Cat Hello, dear reader, it’s good to be back. I missed you desperately while I was away last week. I mean, I didn’t. I was having a lovely time in Devon. It was really nice. And you didn’t even notice I’d gone. But still, it’s the sort of thing we say to be polite, isn’t it? Manners are so important… Anyway, what have I been up to this week? I’ve been sending myself insane...

Today Pewdiepie released a video discussing recent discussions surrounding the discussion of whether or not discussing the amount of money he earns is disgusting or worth discussing. Got it? I don't care. Apparently someone figured out he earned a massive £4.8 million last year in his role as the biggest entity on Youtube. So what is the source of the vitriol against him? There are a couple of things at play, some of it simple and some of it under-the-hood...

#6: 8-Bitty Hello dear reader. For those new to this column, the Titular Idiot is me, and the Adventures are whatever I’ve been up to this week. This week’s been an unusually bitty one, so the column is too I’m afraid. But hopefully it won’t be dreadful. Let’s see… First up, a shameless plug, as one of the things I’ve been preparing for this week is the next live performance of mine and “Fleshy Tech God” Rob Sedgebeer’s live videogaming/comedy...

Ever wondered how close a group of people can get to an actual public circle-jerk without getting their actual penises out (and I do mean penises)? Well then look no further than a videogames convention! So, as someone who has been to many of these, it’s important to teach the next generation how to navigate these highlights of the gaming calendar. Day 1. The exhibition won’t technically start for a couple days but now that none of the publishers give...

These latest medtech innovations are shaping our future and will change...

By Dr Peter Chadha, CEO of DrPete Technology Experts If cinema has taught us anything, it’s that we should never trust robots. Whether they are rising up to protect us from ourselves or coming back through time to deploy cheesy catchphrases, mixing robots and humans never ends well. Although these fears are yet to come to pass, there is also a warning of a different threat from robotics, more specifically, software robotics… Robotics has now extended from the physical, into the digital...

By Faye Loader, Head of  Business Development at The Brewery London – the financial, digital and property capital of the world – is fast becoming known as THE global technology capital. Along with its financial prowess, the technology sector has fast become the beating heart of London, bringing in more financial investment during this year’s Q1 – more than in any previous quarter. To coincide with ‘London Technology Week’, last week, analysts at Oxford Economics issued a report strategy which found:...
