Resident Evil 5 Achievements

Resident Evil 5 Achievements

Man, some of the Achievements on this were obscure. Here are my tips for some of them. I had trouble getting "The Works" Achievement. For this, Chris attacks an enemy with a melee attack, then Sheva follows up quickly with a melee attack, then Chris finishes the enemy off with a final melee blow. I found it best to do…
Fox news

Fox news

Ah, so funny. Bad puns are awesome. Remember this? More specifically, the post about how I can't get a picture of a fox? Well, I got some. Granted, the fox was injured and not at all itself - out in plain sight in the daylight, hobbling around on three legs with a back end ravaged by mange - I still…

I’m doing it wrong

Usually I’ve written my Sunday entry by now – I like to make notes of any ideas I have, or any exciting events there may have been during the week, and most times I actually write it ahead of time when the inspiration strikes. This week however, the only thing of note that has happened is that interview I had, but I’ve already covered that in a post of it’s own… So… I’m struggling to think of things to write about.

Oh, I remember something now, the Live Arcade game this week was Game Room (essentially a collection of demos for rubbish old games), and it was free. That sounds good, right? Free game – free Achievements. Not really very many achievements, but some, 80 G’s added to your Gamerscore for free, nonetheless. To get anywhere near the full 1000 you need to pay for the individual games, and considering they are mostly priced the same as proper Live Arcade titles, it’s a bit of a money-spinning exercise by Microsoft there. Did I mention the games are all awful? Well, one or two could be construed as “classic”, but they’re mostly dog-shit.

Something else I could mention is that I’ve been re-reading the Harry Potter books this month, I finished Deathly Hallows the other night and I’m slowly writing up my thoughts on them. Expect those posts early April.

I had a couple of comments today

So, you know that post I made yesterday about having a job interview? It's just below this one, scroll down a little. Well I got a couple of comments on it from some spambots (pretending to be natural and not come across as spambots). Here, read the first one: I really can’t understand some points of this post, but I…
One life

One life

We just get the one life, you know. Just one. You can't live someone else's or think it's more important just because it's more dramatic. What happens matters. Maybe only to us, but it matters. 50 points to anyone who can tell me what film that quote is from. I used to always want to write an autobiography, but the…

Corned beef and tomato sandwiches

I wasn't feeling too great yesterday, I was all bunged up, feeling like something was trying to slowly burst out of my head. But, because she's generally the greatest person in the world, Jane was totally lovely yesterday, she made me corned beef and tomato sandwiches for lunch. Took me right back to my Nan's house - corned beef and…
My brother’s blanket

My brother’s blanket

Well, there is my brother's blanket in all it's glory, being modelled so nicely by my brother himself, but what on Earth does it have to do with this Massive Attack track Unfinished Sympathy? So I was watching MTV one day (back in the days when MTV only played music all day rather than non-stop repeats of Pimp My Ride,…
