Waves is gone

Waves is gone

4 September 2018Posted inInternet, Site RelatedNo Comments
My old blog, Waves, which used to be at the old domain of randomfury.co.uk, is no more. All the posts have been folded into this blog. It was a lovely place, if a bit quiet. I feel like I've written this a lot recently, but it was always more for me to cathartically write than for people to read. I'd…

Looking back at 2005

3 December 2017Posted inInternet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
I'm just going back through all my old posts on the old blog as I work to transfer them to this new domain (iaindstewart.net), and I can finally see why I was depressed all those years ago. It's as clear as day now I have some insight into what depression is and how it affects you. I was essentially staying…

Destiny and the Iron Banner

12 May 2016Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
So, Destiny then. I've been fairly addicted to it for the past few months, and the Iron Banner has been one of my favourite aspects - I look forward to it rolling around every month. I can't put my finger on exactly why I like the week of Iron Banner so much to be honest. Is it because it is…

Friday update 13/6/14

E3 has been and gone, and one of the only new things that I was interested in was the Master Chief Collection. The other things being Halo 5 (which there were not many details of, because it is so far away from release), and the Dark Souls 2 DLC (which I am intentionally not looking into because I've not even…

Finally found it

I feel so good right now, I finally found an old music video that I was almost convinced didn't actually exist. It was only that David remembered it as well that I knew it wasn't a figment of my imagination. I remembered it was on MTV, or The Box, and it featured a bunch of soldiers in gas masks shooting…

Or at least, we were, nine years ago, in as much as we were featured in an Xbox magazine. A couple of Xbox magazines, actually. You're probably itching to click the swish out of those little thumbnails there, hoping that they'll zoom up to a readable scale - guess what - they will. If you click them. So what are…
Halo 4: War Games

Halo 4: War Games

8 January 2013Posted inReviews, VideogamesNo Comments

War Games – the new name for multiplayer Red vs Blue. This was always going to be the main area of the game for me, shooting guys is so much better than shooting AIs. It has a lot to live up to – the Halo series is the only First Person multiplayer experience that I felt was flawless – and then in subsequent games they always improve on it somehow. Halo was great – never has lugging an Xbox and TV round a mates house been so rewarding. Halo 2 improved it, made it smoother, added cool new weapons and had an amazing selection of maps. Halo 3 added equipment and refined the whole thing. Halo: Reach added armour abilities – these things really spiced things up. And now Halo 4…

Halo 4: Campaign

Halo 4: Campaign

7 January 2013Posted inReviews, VideogamesNo Comments

I have played through the Campaign three times – once with Jane on Normal, once with Lewis on Heroic, and once by myself on Legendary. This is what I thought of it.

Caution: There will be spoilers!

Also, as well as the spoiler warning, I should let you know that this may be all over the place. I’m not going to basically write out the whole story, I will jump from start to end and back again with little warning.

But I will start at the beginning.
