Obey your Master!

Advantages: looks great
Disadvantages: bendy, could be pricey

...Doctor Who, for me, is a great passion. I first fell in love with the family sci-fi show back in 2005 when it returned with Chris Eccleston as the Doctor. The Doctor is a Time Lord from Gallifrey. He travels around in his blue box, which is better known as the Tardis, saving the planets from evil races. Sometimes he travels alone but usually it is with a companion. In 2005, the Christmas episode, David Tennant took over to play the tenth Doctor after he regenerated. He took us through a further three series. In Series 3, we went to the end of the universe with the Doctor and Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman), where we met a mysterious man called Harold Saxon. Turns out this was actually the Master, a supposedly Time Lord. He was quite evil and basically had plans to destroy the Doctor! The character was fantastically played by John Simm...

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Advantages: Very deep lyrics
Disadvantages: Last album with Cliff Burton

...The album Master of Puppets is the third studio album by America?s highest selling Metal band. It was released March 3rd 1986 and has since sold over 6 million copies in the USA alone. It is also the last album to be recorded with bassist Cliff Burton before a fatal bus accident while touring for the album. The album is considered one of the greatest thrash metal albums of all time and is considered a classic by critics and the band alike. The songs mainly focus on losing control and the intensity of the riffs really shows this. Lead vocals/ guitar: James Hetfield Drums: Lars Ulrich Bass: Cliff Burton Lead guitar: Kirk Hammet Battery- 5:15 The opening track begins with a very harmonic tune using three acoustic guitars until bass and drums come in to play a more distorted version of the harmony. But a minute in is the reason that...

Samsung SyncMaster Sells Seashells on the Seashore

Advantages: Shiny and flat with clear images
Disadvantages: 24" is a big monitor

...1200 resolution. I also demanded extreme prettiness. Unfortunately times had changed. Manufacturers had decided that high resolution was only really required in larger screen sizes. My quest for a 19? super duper monitor was quashed. These demands were too much for the manufacturers of flash screens. I found monitors that were too big, that were too small, that had scummy resolution and most shockingly of all I found monitors I couldn?t bear to look at, such was their ugliness. Then I found the Samsung SyncMaster 2433. It was a whopping 24? but had that all important 1920 X 1200 resolution. Plus, it passed the pretty test. Black glossy and curvaceous, the Samsung ticked a lot of boxes. I was sold. So sold in fact, that I ordered 2. Oh yes. When they arrived they needed a minor amount of self assembly. This might seem odd, but the base...

Master...Master

Advantages: A fine Metallica Album
Disadvantages: None

...-=A little about=- Master of Puppets (1986), a Metallica album, which has produced some of the most powerful Metallica riffs and all with Ex-bass player Cliff Burton. With James Hetfield introducing those fast and powerful riffs and Kirk Hammett on the lead with maybe a little more thought in his solos than Kill `em All the earlier album, this album is a must buy. Hetfields voice is not as harsh as earlier albums either delivering a good vocal line. The album itself is produced by Metallica and Flemming Ramussen. -=Track Listing=- 1.Battery (5:10) 2.Master Of Puppets (8:38) 3.The Thing That Should Not Be (6:32) 4.Welcome Home (Sanitarium) (6:28) 5. Disposable Heros (8:14) 6. Leper Messiah (5:38) 7. Orion (Instrumental) (8:12) 8. Damage, Inc (5:08) -=Some Track info=- Battery The song starts with nice, slow 75...

Masterful

Advantages: Everything good you can think of in one book
Disadvantages: The covers not a great design ...

...There aren't many books you read and know are the work of a genius. Even the so-calledclassics can leave a lot of people doubting that their as good as their reputation. This, however is a good book. I read it twice when i first encountered it and i still reread it when i have the time. The plot is complex. It involves a witches sabbat(is that thr right word?), the devils visit to russia, a master writer in an asylum, and the story of pontius pilate and jesus christ. These stories are brought together by the master. The devils visit is due to his appearence at the witches party and he chooses as his queen the masters former lover Margarita. The master is then freed from the asylum. Pontius Pilates story was the book he was writing before his imprisonment. If the plot wasn't enough, there are brillant scenes within it...

Review of The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov

MY LIFE WITH 'MASTER AND MARGARITA'

Advantages: Read and decide.
Disadvantages: None as such, you stupid box. Not for everybody perhaps.

...'Early in the morning on the fourteenth of the spring month of Nisan, the Procurator of Judea, Pontius Pilate, in a white cloak lined with blood-red...' In the days before audience measurement, when some books were banned from official publishing and others would be only available on second-hand market at a price akin to 10% of a teacher's monthly salary, I heard the sentence quoted above read aloud on Polish Radio 3 and so my first experience of 'Master and Margarita' began. I didn't know it was beginning of the second chapter. I didn't know that the action of the first one took place 1900 years later in Stalinist Moscow. Little I expected that the following ones will include Soviet literati world, broom-stick riding witches, great ball at Satan's and flying pigs. I was 13 years old and I was hooked. Of course, I didn't manage...

Mechanical puzzle game for Nintendo DS - Mechanic Master

Advantages: Good concept, fun to play through the levels
Disadvantages: Poor graphics and sound, not enough levels.

...This review is for Nintendo DS game, Mechanic Master, developed and published by Midway Games. Mechanic Master is a puzzle game with over one hundred levels to work through, with many similarities in principle to the 1990s PC game, The Incredible Machine. The aim of the game is to work through the levels, of which there are just over one hundred, solving mechanical puzzles. Each screen has humans and aliens, and you have to save the humans and kill the aliens by placing the various mechanical pieces, such as platforms, levers and boxes, in the right place. There are two different ways that you can play the game, either in the drawing mode or in the puzzle mode. The drawing mode involves you drawing on the touch screen with the stylus to place lines on the screen to guide the items into place. In the puzzle mode, you instead move...

Sync Your Teeth Into This Master Monitor

Advantages: Excellent response time and clear screen
Disadvantages: Somewhat costly at around £300

...I used the Samsung SyncMaster 710TM at work for two years as well as having 7 or 8 of the same model in the office used by staff and clients alike. I found them to be reliable and with clear resolutions and never once had to have any of these replaced or repaired (not in my time there anyway. I'm not a highly technical person so won?t discuss the technical specs much but I will cover this at the end of the review to hopefully satisfy all readers. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? The monitor itself is silver and black and it's quite sleek and I found it to be quite modern looking. The stand on which the monitor rests is quite sturdy and I don't recall ever worrying about it snapping or not holding the weight of the monitor. This is a definite advantage as some of our younger clients at work who used these monitors can be quite...

Dig up fossils and fight your dinosaurs - Dino Master for DS

Advantages: Very few, has some educational value, good range of dinosaurs
Disadvantages: Difficult to play and control, poor graphics and sound, generally rushed

...This review is for the Nintendo DS game, Dino Master - Dig Discover Duel, developed by Creative Office and published by Majesco Entertainment. In this game, you play the part of Dave the Digger, and you have to try to recover fossils in the fossil hunt mode from various locations, whilst battling enemies who try to stop you in your quest. In a Jurassic Park style operation, you can then recreate these dinosaurs in the lab mode, and fight them in the battle mode. In principle, this is a fun puzzle and action game, which has a generally good plot, and also an educational element under-pinning it. However, when you get started in the fossil hunt mode, you soon find that parts of the game are fairly unplayable. You are expected to use the stylus and touch screen to navigate around, but the touch screen controls are very unresponsive...

CoolerMaster CM690 is the master!

Advantages: Cheap, well ventilated, screw-less design
Disadvantages: None for me.

...When upgrading my computer and installed the new parts in my old case, this proved to be a bit of a silly idea as the temperatures it was running at was too high. Having largely spent out on the upgrade i wanted a fairly cheap case. The CoolerMaster CM690 looked like it was to fit the bill perfectly, its was fairly cheap approx £55, it did NOT come with power supply, which for me wasn't a problem as I'd just bought a new CoolerMaster Real Power M620 620W PSU. To start with this case looks very good and feels light when empty. It also feels sturdy and well balanced on my desk and on carpet, although a carpet with too high a pile on it could interfere with the PSU exhaust and the mounting for another fan. The front and top of the case is basically a big grille which obviously helps with letting the hot air escape. Access is...
