Halo 4

By Iain 3 October 2012Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

November is going to be awesome. Halo 4 and getting married? Sweet. Of the ten maps available at launch, 8 are known. One of which is familiar, the rest are new. Ragnarok - The new name for Valhalla. I'm very happy about this. Adrift - This was one of the first maps announced, it features a mech being built in…

My experiences at the public library

By Iain 27 September 2012Books, Creativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

I used to go to the local library in Waterlooville quite a lot on my split shifts. I found it a nice place to get some art done, read a new issue of ImagineFX or Fantasy Artist in peace, or do some research on a current project (there's something a bit more... honest about flicking through a book rather than…

Bye, Ponds

By Iain 16 September 2012Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

You know, it'll be a sad day when Amy and Rory stop travelling with The Doctor. They've brought some of the most hilarious Doctor Who comedy moments so far, and some really intense, dark and emotional resonances. I love how Amy is so feisty, it leads to some interesting confrontations with The Doctor. It was pretty funny how Rory died…

Wedding day getting scary near

By Iain 23 August 2012ReflectionsNo Comments

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this, but Jane and I are getting married in November. While my cousin did instill a bit of confidence in me with his motivational run through of his recent wedding, I am still a bit nervous. I'm sure it will be fine. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

Gamerscore target reached

By Iain 21 August 2012Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I hit my target of 80,000 Gamerscore today. I had until the end of the year, but it was playing on my mind a lot, so I just decided to get it over with before Halo 4 hits. And there are a few other games I want to play for fun in the meantime too, such as Deus Ex: Human…

Football!

By Iain 17 August 2012Films/TV, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

I don't usually talk about football (I think the last time I did, it was about football shirts), but the new season is almost upon us and it looks to be an interesting one. I follow a few teams, for a variety of reasons. Rangers (because of the family ties), Southampton (because I used to live there but now live…

New PC wins again

By Iain 16 August 2012ReflectionsNo Comments

I was never totally enamoured with the Kodak Easyshare software that came with my digital camera, and I never got around to installing it on my new PC. Still, I just plugged the camera in, and Windows Explorer fucking killed it. In a good way, I mean. Copied all the photos over, named them nicely, and it was just generally…

Taking stock

By Iain 16 August 2012Books, Films/TV, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

After the madness of my cousins wedding and the holiday with the boys, I feel I need to streamline my existence, have a good sort out and tidy everything up. I started today (whilst catching up on Peep Show - the tail end of series 6 and start of series 7), just general organisational things really, and I have next…

Ben 10

By Iain 15 August 2012Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

The boys love Ben 10, and I must admit, I am kind of smitten with it myself, it being created by some of my favourite comic creative types (Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle). After a bit of research, I noticed that Ben 10 games tended to be pretty easy, Achievement-wise, so my interest was piqued.…

Holiday 2012: Day 5

By Iain 10 August 2012Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Day five was to be our last day on the Isle of Wight, but our ferry wasn't until 4:30, so we had time to have one last cool day. Packing everything into the car was speedy and efficient, Jane is very good like that. Our first stop of the day was at Robin Hill. It had some nice woodland, cool…
