I’m going to write about True Achievements again

Here's that URL again. http://www.trueachievements.com/ Now, along with some other guys on RF, I had set myself a Gamerscore target (get from 38,000 to 50,000) for 2010. What I didn't realise at the time was that you could actually set yourself goals on TrueAchievements! I set myself two goals yesterday. The first is to get to 50,000 Gamerscore and the…

E3 vs Lost – FIGHT!

Yesterday I posted links to two different subjects on GRcade, just to get a little traffic boost. One link was about E3, the other about Lost. I was very surprised when I came on and saw that even though E3 is current and Lost finished ages ago, Lost came out on top with 29 hits. E3 only got 7. I…

New forum style – re-done!

So yeah, it's been changed twice in less than a week now. The prosilverSE style wasn't suitable, so we went with something a bit more like the old style in terms of layout. Overall, it's much better, and apart from the code behind the banner being much stranger than I'm used to (and thus proving to be a bitch to…

Cowboy boots

This week I have been mostly writing about Halo 2 and doing up the forum. It's been a mixed bag in terms of feedback on it - some like the bold new colours, some prefer the muted tones of yesterday. You can't please all of the people all of the time though. It'll work out in the end, whether it…

New forum style – done!

Please note, none of the websites mentioned in this post are still active. It didn't take too long from me deciding enough was enough and it had to be changed to it being pretty much finished. As much as I love Mike Lothar's phpBB2 styles, they just weren't cutting it in phpBB3. Optimization was an issue, and we were missing…
Goodbye Halo 2

Goodbye Halo 2

Last night was the last time Halo 2 will ever be playable over Xbox Live. Personally, I didn't attend (I got rid of Halo 2 ages ago - I never envisioned a time when we'd play it again), but I have spent the time being devoted to Halo 2 in other ways. I've been listening to the soundtrack (thanks again…
True Achievements is a great website

True Achievements is a great website

Being well into my Gamerscore, I love it! http://www.trueachievements.com/ Basically, they were annoyed that there are certain disparages within the Gamerscore points system (some easy Achievements in easy games award the same amount of points as hard Achievements in hard games), so they award more Achievement points to Achievements that are harder to obtain than easy ones. The formula is…

Currently ranked 13th in the World

Oh wow, would you look at that. We're the 13th best source for LOLcats on the internet! Not bad considering all I used to do was copy and paste my weekly favourite from icanhazcheesburger. (Please note, I have since removed over 100 posts that were simply copied and pasted from the various icanhazcheesburger websites. We are no longer the 13th…
