Well, it finally happened. I suppose the timing is fitting, coming a week after he sadly left us, but tonight I finally shed tears for the best friend I never met; the king of the Summerjams, Mr. Ryan "Taswell" Davis. The podcast did it, which is probably of little surprise to those who have listened to it. The heartfelt thank you's of those who are feeling this the most (along with his wife an...
After a nine-year absence and a shift in developer, Max Payne 3 was always going to be a curious title. Its early reveal, presenting a bald, overweight Max Payne amidst the slums of Brazil, was steeped in trepidation for fans of the series. This was a character well known for his slick stylings, leather coat and bad tie combination; a perfect protagonist for the surreal film noir world he inhab...
Delving into the world of MMOs can be a daunting proposition. More so than any other, it’s a genre that almost seems reserved for a certain type of person. One who knows and understands the terminology, the way each intricate system works, and one who is prepared to lay down a standard fee every single month. That fee can eat at you if you’re not careful. Every day you’re not playing you feel l...
As a reminder, here's what happened yesterday. After trying to resuscitate it with some cold air and cleaning today, I eventually I gave up and ordered a 250GB Slim. Costs a bit more than repairing it but I'll get it much sooner and I'd much rather have a new system with new warranty than a repaired one that could go again at any minute. Of course, there was still the issue of the game being st...
Yes, tonight my PlayStation 3 bit the dust. First time I'd turned it on in two days, played for around 15 minutes before it suddenly turned itself off. I thought maybe there was a problem at the mains but the red light came back on so I pressed that, the green light came on as normal before a yellow light switched on for a split seond before it began flashing red non-stop. Looks like the Yellow...
After my recent tragedy it's time I did a new blog post. SPOILERS FOR BORDERLANDS, DRAGONE AGE: ORIGINS AND MASS EFFECT Shieldy The reason for my failed midweek post was because of a few recent completions. Borderlands came first as I finished it at a level 36 having done every quest in the game. The last boss was a little disappointing and it's a shame you never get to see what's inside the va...
I just wrote a massive post here and then proceeded to accidentally delete it all when trying to edit a typo on a link. Let this blog post be a reminder to write this shit up in Word before putting it here. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Yes, it's been a long time coming but I figured I may as well start a blog at last. I've had one post already, though that was just a little article I had previously written about Duke Nukem Forever ; this is the real deal. I've decided I'll probably write one new post each week, that way I'll have more to talk about and the quality will hopefully be higher. So on we go! It's just not fair. Wit...
Cast your mind back to 1997, if you can; April 28th to be exact. It was a long, long time ago - twelve years if you're counting. During that year Bill Clinton was appointed President for his second term, OJ Simpson was controversially found liable in court for two deaths, Tony Blair became Prime Minister - ending years of Conservative rule - Princess Diana tragically passed away and Manchester...
