Space

By Iain 21 October 2018Free-writingNo Comments

This is the latest entry in my themed series of blog posts in which (as part of my ongoing quest for greater self awareness and my continued personal and professional development), I pick a key word and write about it for a set amount of time. Leave a comment on here with a new word for me to write about,…

About the old me

Hey. My old blog, Waves, is gone. Here are the old “About Me” pages. They are no longer relevant to me, my mission or my desires.

Missed the update window again…

So here is an update on a Monday. I went back to work yesterday, which wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. Well, the department was a mess, but it wasn't so bad as to drive me insane. I've started tinkering with Sony Vegas, finally editing this Super Time Force video I've been banging on about since the first RFTV…

Friday update 8/8/14

By Iain 8 August 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I'm a bit later than usual today due to visiting my Mum, David, Jasmine and Otis in Southampton today. Had a great time on the way over brainstorming various things including: content for my personal YouTube channel, how to work the Twitter machine, and if I can somehow combine them all with the posts here to pretty much automate the…

Super Mega Ultra Battle Robot 2

By Iain 11 July 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. This week on RGF it is: Super Mega Ultra Battle Robot 2. That's one hell of a title, right? Well, it's one hell of a game, with a lovely art style, some really lovely main character designs. This game is a scrolling shoot 'em up, in a similar vein…

This is what Dark Souls has taught me about death

By Iain 25 April 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Death is different in Dark Souls. Echoing the advice Dave gave me when I first started playing, that death is not a failure state, I mean, sure, you did fail, either by being utterly outclassed and over-powered by a massive demon, by being over-confident in your abilities at taking on all three of those bad-dudes at once, or simply falling…

Friday Update 7/3/14

Hello again, it's Friday, and that means it's update time! Jane and baby are well - we went to Toys R Us one day last week to look at prams/pushchairs/buggies - so many different styles! I think we've decided on the one we're going to go for, it may be a little pricey but we've done our sums and worked…

Xbox one, Xbox and Xbox One

By Iain 8 January 2014VideogamesNo Comments

So, my work colleague asked me "do you have an Xbox yet?" today, and while I was sure what he was asking me, I was quite unsure how to answer him. See - I wanted to correct him. I knew he was asking me if I had an Xbox One yet, as he had recently bought one and has told…

The next Halo

By Iain 11 November 2013VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Halo is a series that means a lot to all of us here at RF. In fact, there wouldn't be a Random Fury at all if Halo didn't exist. While I enjoyed Halo 4, both in single-player and multi-player, some Furies were a little disappointed. How could 343 Industries…
