What Happened Here?

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there. Today's random game is What Happened Here? Boiled down to its bare bones, it is a "choose your destiny" Fighting Fantasy-style adventure book crossed with a questionnaire - you decide in your head what happened, then the game shows you the outcome. It can be as normal…

Jane is well, pregnancy coming along nicely. We had the 12 week scan last week - some delightful pictures of a tiny little Flipper. He/she was a lot more active than I had anticipated - I thought they'd just be curled up, being relatively still, but they were jumping around like no-one's business! Hopefully the room situation should be sorted…

Bejeweled Live

Posted inReflections, 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…

Infectionator 2

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Another Random Game Friday, another Infectionator game? Yep, you got it! This time it's Infectionator 2, which is most probably the sequel to last weeks game, Infectionator World Dominator. So, did they improve upon it at all? It's immediately noticeable that this game is visually much more impressive. The…

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

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…

Infectionator World Dominator

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. It's random. It's a game. It's Friday. That means one thing - I'm playing a random new game. This week, it's another game in the Infectionator series: Infectionator World Dominator. Now, I didn't know there was more than one Infectionator game, but I can definitely see the resemblance. While…

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…
Achievement Unlocked!

Achievement Unlocked!

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Achievement Unlocked! How nice is it when you hear that little bleep bloop, and the grey rectangle with rounded ends pops up telling you how many Gamerscore points you just acquired? Some see them as arbitrary, random or pointless. Together, a meaningless number that is unbalanced and open to…

Jane said I could tell anyone

Posted inCreativity, 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…
