Issues, resolved and unsolved

By Iain 10 August 2011Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Resolved: I think I have finally solved the spambot issue on the forum. I have installed new countermeasures that will hopefully stop them dead in their tracks, but still allow new users to get through as long as they have a tiny understanding of what RF! is all about. Unsolved: Why won't it let me upload images, dammit? None of…

OMG

By Iain 20 June 2011Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

You know I said last week that my phone wasn't updating? Well, it worked for no apparent reason just now - I didn't change anything, it just worked. The system works, I embrace our Microsoft overlords, etc. Also, and I'm not sure if I should announce this (LIKE ANYONE READS THIS ANYWAY LOL), but Jasmine is gonna have a little…

Fifty

I completed my 50th Xbox game today, geoDefense, on my phone. It was a nice little game, but not as mentally taxing as some other tower defence style games. You could simply plow through most levels with as many fully upgraded regular gun turrets as you could cram into the arena. For the few levels that required a different approach,…

HE PUNCHED THE HIGHLIGHTS OUT OF HER HAIR.

I think things may get a bit quiet round these parts due to me dropping the LOLcats and only updating things once a week (or every two weeks, in this most recent case). Hey, it don't matter - no-one reads this anyways! What have I been up to then? So, I decided to investigate Zune Player on the ol' Xbox…

“My Random Encounter with Toxic”

By Iain 19 October 2010Internet, VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on GRcade by Zenigame, but for those of you who missed it, I've decided to reproduce it here. So got put into a game on Big Team Slayer and as the game was starting I noticed a certain Gamertag on the opposing team. "toxic rf". Nah, it couldn't be, could it? Toxic? :o So from that…

Website Housekeeping

By Iain 27 August 2010Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

It sounds odd, but I really enjoy it! Running a website, you need to pay attention to the little things, check that any links are still working and up to date, and making sure that stuff like the static pages aren't out-dated. Today I updated the About Me page, the About Random Fury! page (both minor tweaks really, nothing major…

Bubble-heads unite!

There I was, playing Halo 3, waiting for Matchmaking to do it's stuff, as you do. The teams popped up, and whose was the first name I noticed, directly above mine on the blue team? Blimey, it's only GRcade moderator The Alchemist "Tiarny" Penguin. I fired off a quick "hi lol" message to him just as the game was starting…

I’m playing Pokémon on my PSP

By Iain 11 July 2010Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

This week I finally got around to enabling homebrew on my PSP. It was very easy, mostly thanks to my PSP being one of the old "Phat" models. I eventually found some suitable emulators and some questionable software - It was a bit tricky thanks to the gamut of sites that are mostly keywords designed to send you round and…

Always late to the party

By Iain 4 July 2010Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

This week I signed up to Twitter (about a year and a half after everyone else in the entire fucking world, but there you go). It's been great so far, and thanks to me being quite selective about who I follow, it's not been entirely full of inane, pointless chatter. Initially I signed up in the hope that it would…
