I’m an asshole: Part two

By Iain 2 October 2013Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

When people ask if we have any Grand Theft Auto V in stock I ask which format they would like it on. If they want the Xbox 360 version and we happen to not have any in stock, I let them down gently. Before taking great delight in mentioning we've got loads for PS3. This guy and his wife came…

Shame on my memory

By Iain 20 September 2013Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

There I was, complaining that I didn't have enough memory, when I just remembered that Jane bought me a Samsung 32gb SDHC card for my birthday last year... Problem solved.

mp-three-asy!

By Iain 19 September 2013Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

That atrocious title was a pun as I'm updating my mp3 player now - and it's so fucking slow. Probably doesn't help that I'm going from an external hard-drive, through the PC, to an SD card inside my mp3 player, but hey whatever. What I really need is one of those mp3 players with stupidly massive storage, something like the…

Progress

Just some stuff that I need to get out of my head: I feel like the Youtube/Twitch stuff has lost momentum. It's mainly because the shitty laptop I bought off eBay was too shit to process videos at a high resolution, and our broadband is too slow to stream it. I'm saving up for a more powerful new laptop, but…

I’m an asshole

I took great delight in showing people that we had Grand Theft Auto V in stock today - Especially as they cannot buy it until tomorrow. I am an asshole. But I don't care! Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

I do not recognise that particular meal

By Iain 10 September 2013ReflectionsNo Comments

How come some people just can't get their head round that you like to eat Asda Smart Price pre-cooked chicken washed down with a banana and strawberry smoothie? And why do other people feel the need to scoff at you when you want to eat a poached egg with no bread? Dairy (especially full-fat dairy), makes me bloated, why is…

A dream nearly realised…

By Iain 3 September 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I remember writing this a long time ago: It’ll be a like a mad combination of HALOader, a wiki, a forum, a general videogame news and reviews site... and the community section of 1up.com, with users able to write a blog, upload pictures of their setup, upload personal pictures, link to other cool sites, pretty much anything they want It…

Disney Skylanders

By Iain 27 August 2013Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I really wish I had thought of the whole damn Skylander franchise. Such a good idea, making the Pokémon "Gotta Catch 'Em All" mantra a money-spinning physical reality that actually has in-game ramifications. Sure, they could've made extra characters cost money via DLC, but releasing them as actual real-world toys that you can level up and use in the game?…

Adventure Time

By Iain 22 August 2013Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Seriously - this show is amazing. Lewis introduced it to me, and after watching just one episode I was enthralled. I thought the art style was a little off at first, but the sheer imagination evident in the character designs made that fade into nothing. It's not just the visuals, it's the unique characterisation, as well as the original twists…
