Revenge of the Burnout

As I said on Sunday, I recently re-purchased Burnout: Revenge for the Xbox 360. When I first got it, I had only just finished Burnout: Revenge on the old Xbox, so I was not really motivated to play through it again. I was probably suffering from Burnout BURNOUT lol! Some time has passed now though, and coupled with the measly…

Up and down

After all the excitement of last week, this week has been a bit more reserved, not a lot has happened and it's been very quiet. I was on a bit of a downer early on in the week, I expected it after the massive highs of last week to be honest. I picked up Burnout: Revenge the other day, it…

Stuff what I read in May and that

Hello there. This is what I thought of the books I read in May. May Contain Traces Of Magic By Tom Holt As usual, the universe that Tom Holt has created for his writing is very well realised and utterly believable, but this book centred around the main character's lack of knowledge about the situation he was unwittingly in, which…
Ten years

Ten years

Ten years ago to this very day, Jane and I decided to become a couple. It seems like less, maybe six or seven years, but it's been the best ten years of my life. She is beautiful, and I love her so much. I can't begin to contemplate what a horrible direction my life would have taken if it weren't…

Dead bunnies and easy games

One of Claire’s rabbits died earlier in the week. They had been smelly for the past few weeks now, and when she finally got around to cleaning the hutch out, the poor thing had a huge abscess full of maggots. It was really quite something to behold. She rushed off to the vets with it, only to be told it had to be put down as they had eaten all the way through the rabbit’s abdomen and up to it’s lungs and was pretty much gonna die anyway, whatever they did. So that was exciting.

I sold some stuff on the eBay earlier in the week, so had a bit of cash to spare which I used to get some Microsoft Points. I had it in my head to get 5 Arcade games that were 400 points each, and a new song for Lips. Here’s what I ended up with and what I thought of them:

Quiet week

It's been quite quiet, not only on here (which makes a change - I usually find something to write about) but also life in general. As such, I've not really got much to say. Still no luck on the job front, I've had a few interviews recently, and a few good looking prospects, but still no job to show for…

Lips

Yes, we finally got around to it. After years of deliberating about which singing game to get, Jane and Claire went halves on Lips: Number One Hits with two microphones. We had a quick dabble last night and it was ok, but when we properly set it up with my Gamer Profile earlier today (it was a sneaky way to…

A killing spree? Me? No way!

Continuing on from my raving about The Arena yesterday, I had a superb game yesterday afternoon in The Arena - One guy on our team dropped out early, but I was picking off bitches left, right and centre, camping the Hammer room with the Hammer and I got a fucking 10 kill spree. I'm pretty shit to be honest, I…
The Reach multiplayer beta is quite good fun

The Reach multiplayer beta is quite good fun

Here's my one screenshot I've taken so far. I took advantage of the way Spartans hold their hands out when running against walls. Nice touch, that. At first I was a bit let down, or confused, maybe. All these new things to use such as Armour Abilities and the new weapons, but after a few games I found some sweet…
