Screenshot of the week: Defining memory

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
New feature alert. Every Thursday I'm going to find my favourite Halo-related screenshot of the past week and post it. It'll be fun. I call this one "Defining Memory", because at times I felt I spent more time dead than alive in Halo 3. Hence the picture of me being dead. You can find other Screenshots of the Week on…

Marshmallows

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
We had a BBQ on Saturday, and after all the meaty food was consumed, we went back out to the gently smouldering barbecue and roasted some Marshmallows in the darkness. Claire had to show me what to do, as it was the first time I had ever tried roasting marshmallows. They were quite tasty! The alcohol I had consumed earlier…

List Of Maps I’m Going To Make In Forge World

Posted inReflections, Videogames2 Comments
Forge in Halo: Reach is, quite simply, looking immense. As well as offering more objects per level, the new tools and abilities at your disposal will hopefully let you re-create maps of old, as faithful to the originals as you can possibly imagine. It's been occupying my thoughts a lot recently, so I thought I'd write up a "List Of…

Reading list for August

LOL GOT YOU! I've not read anything for months, mainly because we've not bought any new books. Instead, I've been playing videogames. I'll be honest - I'm struggling a bit with Pokémon Emerald. It's not the difficulty, it's just the slog. The areas seem a lot farther apart in this game and I've not found Fly yet, and as such,…

Steel Battalion. You know, the one that came with the huge controller designed specifically for the game. So huge you had to assemble it yourself with an allan key. The huge controller with 40 buttons (all of which lit up as they had LEDs underneath them), two full size sticks, a gear stick with light-up gear indicators, several switches, a…

"Oh man, this game is so scary, you need to play it!", said my cousin Stuart, handing me a copy of Resident Evil for the Sega Saturn shortly before going on holiday. My Mum and brother were going on holiday with him, so I had the house to myself for a week. All alone in a house, at night, curtains…

MGM – Red wine, cheese on toast and N.O.M.A.D.

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
This is one of my earliest memories, I was still in Middle School at the time. I was staying round my friends house and when his Mum went to bed, we silently made our way downstairs. We put the Spectrum +3 on and played this really odd game called N.O.M.A.D., made ourselves some cheese on toast and had a glass…

I like this one, it speaks volumes about the person I used to be - and reminds me never to be that kind of person again. It was October or November, 1991 or 1992. I forget, it was a long time ago. David had asked for a Sega Megadrive II videogame console for Christmas. Mum told me she had bought…

Website Housekeeping

Posted inInternet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
It sounds odd, but I really enjoy it! Running a website, you need to pay attention to the little things, check that any links are still working and up to date, and making sure that stuff like the static pages aren't out-dated. Today I updated the About Me page, the About Random Fury! page (both minor tweaks really, nothing major…
