What’s the time, Mister Sweaty Monkey?

Ever wanted to make your voice sound odd whilst looking at a confusing watch? I do hope so:

And before you e-mail me, look at this – It’s a link to where I got the watch! (And here’s the voice changer. And here’s a photo of a statue of Billy Bluelight.)

iPhone goes forth

Posted by Ashens on June 25, 2010 at 00:53 am

iPhone 4! First I queued for hours to get one. Then I put together a video as quickly as I could on an extremely hot day. Fun!*

Anyway, here’s a quick look at the new hardware features. And don’t worry – this video has been certified 100% FaceTime free by the League Against Unsettling Software Names.

*This is a lie

There’s no action left in these figures

More cheapo figures? You betcha:

My plan is now to incorporate future crap-o-figures into Poundland Specials. (Unless I find a rich vein of particularly amusing ones somewhere.)

Go figure

All children need something to play with. Something to stimulate their imagination. Like brittle plastic figurines with distorted faces.

Many thanks to super-duper Harry Partridge who not only provided the toys and extra review footage, but also let me be unfairly disparaging in the name of comedy. (He sent the toys in a really nice box too. A proper parcel box thing that folds down flat.)

Bank Holiday Special

Posted by Ashens on May 31, 2010 at 20:45 pm

Someone sent me an iPad. So I reviewed it. Yes.

I took over an hour of footage, which I planned to edit down to about 15 minutes. But in one of my increasingly common moments of madness I decided to make a giant edit containing all the footage that makes sense chronologically. So, here in YouTube-o-Vision (and heavily interlaced due to camcorder problems) I present almost an hour of iPad ramblings in three parts!

In case you’re wondering, I put the iPad on eBay. I thought it would be a good choice as they both have their capitals put back to the second letter. And indeed it was – I sold it for the full retail value within two hours of it going up. The oven I’m getting is a Beko DVC663. Good times.

Well Lar Dee Dah

Posted by Ashens on April 17, 2010 at 22:33 pm

Two firsts today – I review an iPhone app and I actually really like the thing I’m reviewing!

Apologies for the slight distortion in the sound, which is mainly due to my own stupidity.

EDIT-ME-DO: Lots of people have requested an MP3 of ‘Aqful’, presumably as they are mad. If you are so inclined it can be found simply by clicking this text.

Who’re you not gonna call?

Time for more Poundland tat. Must be full moon or something.

Blode and the Giant Bee is referenced in the video – check it out here if you’re interested. (Terrifying to think that must be 8 years old or something by now.)

Two new Tech Dump episodes are coming soon. I SWEAR.

There must be an angel playing with my dust

Have you always wanted a child’s toy named after the infamously dangerous hallucinogen phencyclidine? Well good news – POP Stations have advanced to the next level and made your dream come true!



If you want to get hold of this Class A tat yourself, I notice there are a couple on American Ebay at the time of writing – Click here to see if any are available.

In other news, we’ve completed two more episodes of Tech Dump which should be online fairly soon. One features stunning animation from Harry Partridge, whilst the other has a man with something stuck to his face. You can’t say we don’t cater for all audiences.
