Bejeweled Live

By Iain 21 February 2014Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

OK, so I finally unlocked the last Achievement (that I felt I could realistically achieve) in Bejewelled Live for the Windows Phone today. Thanks to the wonderful website TrueAchievements.com, it appears it took me just under a year to unlock it by smashing one million jewels. I bought the game in April 2013, quickly notched up 155 Gamerscore, hit another…

Friday Update 21/2/14

By Iain 21 February 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Jane's been quite poorly these last few weeks - she's barely able to keep water down, let alone food. She's spent most of her time sleeping, bless her. I must admit I'm a little bit worried, given that she's pregnant. In other news, the Youtube videos are going really well. Having a great time recording the Minecraft and retro ones…

Shopping List LOLs #4

By Iain 15 February 2014Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Hi. Welcome to the semi-new feature which, as you can see from the title of this post, I'm calling Shopping List LOLs. What is it about I hear you ask? Well, I work in a supermarket and sometimes I find peoples discarded shopping lists. I read them, and are amazed by them, they make me thankful I'm normal. What I'll…

Things I wish I had thought of – Part 2

By Iain 14 February 2014Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

http://youtu.be/jD6rKhzV_m0 Similar to the Disney Skylanders post - here's something I feel that I could've thought of. It's just so funny! The way that they each have voices that suit their look and mannerisms as well... Genius. Utter genius.

Friday update 14/2/14

By Iain 14 February 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Happy Valentines day everyone! Hope you spend some quality time with the person you love. Of course - I hope you get to do that every day really. Anyway, what's going down this week? The major announcement on the blog here was largely ignored - it looks like I do write this blog for my own entertainment. Ah well. Writing…

Spring is coming

By Iain 10 February 2014ReflectionsNo Comments

I walked home from work tonight and it was lovely. I finished at five, got out at about ten past, and it was still light - it's been a long time since that has happened on a Sunday. Spring is on it's way, I can't wait. I can't wait for the rain to stop being so damn frequent, and for…

Jane said I could tell anyone

By Iain 7 February 2014Creativity, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

So I'm telling the internet. So Jane's family know, my family know, select friends know... Now it's time for everyone else to be enlightened: We're going to be parents. Yes, that's right. Jane is pregnant, so that means we are going to have a baby. A brand new person. Made by us. An extra dynamic in our relationship. Jane sent…

Friday update 7/2/14

By Iain 7 February 2014Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I wrote 6/4/13 all over things yesterday, for some reason I thought that was the date. So, what's been happening? On the community site I wrote about ilomilo, which was great, and made a video with Lewis where we played X-Men Arcade on the 360 - the video is up on Youtube right now. Go watch it. Finally getting around…

A musing on children, growing up and adults

By Iain 2 February 2014Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I've touched on this before, but I don't really class myself as an adult - I certainly don't behave like one. Or do I? My perceptions of what being an adult were formed when I was a kid. Now I am all grown up (in physical terms at least), am I not an adult simply because I don't act how…
