Although the thing is, I’ve not been Mango’d. I’m just trying to be. I keep forcing the Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango” update onto my phone, but all I’m getting is the Omnia bug. Again. I guess I’ll wait until Orange officially release it to me, and it pops up “An update for your phone is ready”, then I shouldn’t have driver issues. Fucking drivers.
I’m back down to just under 16 stone after piling on half a stone on holiday. It wasn’t too hard actually (being active helps), I thought it’d take longer.
I finished Transformers: War For Cybertron. The class I was looking forward to, Scientist, turned out to not be as good as I’d hoped. Ah well. I was hoping to fly in, dispatch someone with my Shotgun, then zoom off again, but it never worked out like that. Soldier was ok, bit of a powerhouse but ultimately too slow for my liking. Scout was good fun: turning invisible and sneaking around, or sniping bitches from miles away. The Leader class was probably my favourite. Buffs, homing mines, lots of residual-damage causing gadgets, and decent weaponry. Good stuff. Still, Scientist was good for the discovery I made. King Of The Hill style games gave out way more points per-minute than straight up Slayer games, and as a jet I could swoosh in, let off a Shockwave and spawn a turret, capture the node, then dash out again. In games where other people had that idea, you could just spend the entire game chasing opposing nodes, building up insane amounts of EXP. Good game, I enjoyed it.
I also finished my 60th Xbox game, Ionball EX, on my phone. It wasn’t that great. Enjoyable as far as Arkanoid clones go, but nothing special. Next post I write will be about Vanquish. I’ve finished it already (on Hard, no less), but there are still a few Achievements to mop up, and some collectables to be shot. It’s really good fun, and was a bargain £12 from Asda.
