Finally found it

Posted inFilms/TV, Music, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
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…
The next Halo

The next Halo

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…

Combo Breaker!!!

Microsoft just told me they are giving me all the characters in Killer Instinct on the Xbox One for free. While that is very kind of them, I hope I can still use this code next year when the console is a bit cheaper and is no longer bundled with Kinect.

Surface tension

Brilliant pun!!! Anyway, before Christmas I was contemplating getting a Surface. You know, that Microsoft tablet. My interest has slowly waned for it though. There are two reasons for this, that combine into one massive reason for not wanting one. The first reason is price, the second reason is schizophrenia. I shall explain. To address the first point, it is…

Xbox One-EIGHTY lol

So, Microsoft have almost completely reversed their position on used games and mandatory internet connectivity. I am still sold on it, but that's not the point. Lots of other people are now sold on it as well, which bodes well. Judging by the internet in general, 99% of people were not up for the DRM on Xbox One, and you…

Xbox One

Upon completion of that last post, I have realised that I've not addressed the Xbox One on here yet. I can kinda see where they are coming from with the extra functions and all, but I think they have misunderstood it. Nowadays people can get games on devices that can also do loads of other things, but never have I…

Halo Xbox One

I'm curious as to why they didn't straight up announce Halo 5 on Xbox One at E3 the other day. The announcement was for a Halo on Xbox One, there was no sign of a 5 anywhere. Even on the Waypoint forums, it's just Halo Xbox One. Maybe it won't simply be "the next game in the series: Halo 5",…

Upgrading to Windows 8 was relatively painless, I have to say. It helped that I was going from Windows 7 - if it had been from anything lower then there would have been issues. But hey, it was plain sailing. My initial impressions were - What the actual fuck is going on here? My fears died down once I'd found…

Windows 8

Posted inCreativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments
So, I'm about to upgrade my OS to Windows 8 Pro. I'm never usually this eager to take up new technology, I mean, I never started using Firefox until Chrome was generally perceived as "the best". Funny, just writing out the tag for Chrome made me realise I've never mentioned Chromehounds on here before - it is one of my…

New PC wins again

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I was never totally enamoured with the Kodak Easyshare software that came with my digital camera, and I never got around to installing it on my new PC. Still, I just plugged the camera in, and Windows Explorer fucking killed it. In a good way, I mean. Copied all the photos over, named them nicely, and it was just generally…
