Goodbye Halo 2

Last night was the last time Halo 2 will ever be playable over Xbox Live. Personally, I didn't attend (I got rid of Halo 2 ages ago - I never envisioned a time when we'd play it again), but I have spent the time being devoted to Halo 2 in other ways. I've been listening to the soundtrack (thanks again…

Hehe, I forgot to do this again. That's, what, eight months in a row now? Anyway, it's not even like the Achievement is worth a whole lot of points, it's 0 Gamerscore, I JUST FUCKING WANT IT.

The entire Theatre mode of Halo 3 was an absolute genius masterstroke. Given the amount of people who use the internet as well as play games on their consoles, it…

Hardware escapades

For years and years, as long as I can remember, whenever I bought a console it has survived until the day I eBayed it. Then, we decided to buy some Xbox 360s for Phantasy Star Universe. After a while, my first 360 started freezing randomly whilst playing. I took it back to Game and swapped it for a new one…
