I have never got round to playing the table top version of an RPG like Dungeons & Dragons, but even I could be turned if this ever gets onto the market that my pocket could afford, I think it apeals to my "all things tech" side and rpg's that I love.. Maybe by the time Samuel or even Ryan likes the idea it will be at a price I could afford .
video of it in action after the break.......
"Microsoft's multi-touch Surface table may not seem like an efficient use of one's cash, but if this Dungeons & Dragons demo from the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University moves beyond "proof of concept" we'll start considering a purchase. As clearly noted in the below video, this is a work in progress tech demo from a sextet of CMU students that touches on some of the more superficial, but supercool, portions of running a D&D campaign on one of the world's more expensive monitors. (And, for the record, one of those students is the creator of the previously Kotaku featured The Science of the Mushroom Kingdom, so nerd respect up.) Doubtful that I'll reignite my fleeting elementary school passion in playing a tabletop RPG or be able to afford a Microsoft Surface unit any time soon, but a cool application regardless."

Well here we are, I have let loose my two new blogs, one will be for all the family pic's and things and the other will be for the tech and stuff that some people will not be very interested in, so I thought I would split them up.

Well when I do have five mins spare I have found this free little gem that runs on the desktop and is great fun
Me and Samuel have started 
I know its been a few weeks but here it is anyway, just a bit of video that we took while at Knowsley Safari Park.
Oh yes, my fav game of all time is getting a new version in about 7 months. Civilizaation V is on its way, god I have spent a lot on time over the years playing the other versions of this game.
