Pre-Xmas Bullet Point Blog!

It'll be Christmas Day by the end of the week and right now feels like a good time to just slap down a list of my ever favourite bullet points! Still waiting on LoveFilm to send me a rental copy of AC2, R&C: A Crack in Time, The Saboteur and a plethora of other games on my rental list for the PS3. Currently playing through Killzone 2, so far so good. It's growing on me like a bad rash, controls...

It'll be Christmas Day by the end of the week and right now feels like a good time to just slap down a list of my ever favourite bullet points!

  • Still waiting on LoveFilm to send me a rental copy of AC2, R&C: A Crack in Time, The Saboteur and a plethora of other games on my rental list for the PS3.
  • Currently playing through Killzone 2, so far so good. It's growing on me like a bad rash, controls are a little tricky but it plays and feels great with what I've seen.
  • Having finished Star Wars: The Force Unleashed yesterday, I gotta say Lucasarts has a lot of things to improve on with TFU2. I rarely dislike games but TFU is the epitome of mediocrity in video game form.
  • I now have gained 3 gold, 35 silver and 143 bronze trophies in Playstation 3 games. Well chuffed with the little collection I'm slowly growing!
  • We have two brand new moderators on the team. They smell like mahogany or a new leather sofa. Welcome them as you see them around the site if you haven't by now already!
  • Had my first SUI (Sledging Under the Influence) early hours of Sunday morning. Going to pub with friends + leaving to find a foot of snow on the ground = drunken sledging down a snow covered road.
  • The family is once again coming to my neck of the woods to celebrate the festive season. I shall likely be intoxicated and seeking the comforting arms of the internet to escape them. Expect me to ban you in a drunken fit for shits and giggles.
  • Valve's recent TF2 WAR! update is awesome as is the game itself. Pity I'm kind of 'done' with that game now, been a brilliant journey and experience but I find myself now unable to really care for gaining the new items & achievements legitimately. I have seen what achievement servers look like, they are not a pretty place at all and could be described best as an online hell hole, but it beats being ripped apart by the opposing team's sheer infinite levels of skill that I shall never acquire. That and I'm tired, tired of the grind involved with achievements for a game I hardly ever play anymore.
  • Looking for a new place to live and hopefully a new job to go along with it. Surprised to see how difficult it can be to find a one bedroom place these days.
  • Considering buying Torchlight on Steam even when I know I'll still get bored of it quickly.
  • Thought about what to put in my 'Best of 2009' list and realised a huge majority of the most memorable games I've played this year were browser based flash games. The few actual video games I've played that I enjoyed don't all make it into my top ten. Not to mention I'd like to play a few other games released this year first before compiling my list. Not sure I'll get it done by January 4th though.
  • Currently going through a user gallery on the site that consisted of around 1500 images of hentai porn. Managed to delete roughly 600 of them this morning, other mods have pitched in and we are now all wondering the same thing, whiskey tango foxtrot is wrong with people? How do they 'get off' on that stuff. I mean really one could say all hentai lovers are kind of disturbed.
 
Anyway folks I hope you all have a merry Christmas!
 
Love Hamz XOXO :)
