This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello there. It's Friday, so here's a random game: Hanger 2. Although it's not too random as I featured the first game in the series (Hanger) last week. Ok, so this is what a sequel should be, what it should do. It improves upon the original in every single…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello again! This week on Random Game Friday, the featured game is: Hanger. It is as it sounds, a game in which you hang, from string in this case, and it does a very good Spider-Man impression. You can swing your body a little by using the left and…

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. It's random. It's a game. It's Friday. That means one thing - I'm playing a random new game. This week, it's another game in the Infectionator series: Infectionator World Dominator. Now, I didn't know there was more than one Infectionator game, but I can definitely see the resemblance. While…

2013 videogame targets update and 2014 videogame targets

Fail

I made three posts in January of 2013 outlining some targets I had for the coming year, and all of them started well, but fizzled out towards the end. I reckon that if I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them. I’m tackling the videogame targets in this post – You can find the original one here, if you’re interested.

As you can see if you follow that link – I failed my attempt at reaching 100,000 Gamerscore in 2013. I’m not really bothered by this, as I (finally) learned that my time is worth more than some arbitrary number, and I had fun playing some great games in 2013, and that’s what counts. Still, I have made a new target, which roughly works out at 50% of the Achievement score of all the games in my pile of shame, I think. I reckon 50% is about right for any story or Campaign related Achievements in all the games on the list.

Goodbye 2013

So what happened in 2013 then? It was another mixed bag. The best thing ever happened: I stopped smoking. And I don't even miss it. I'm not suffering from some black depression because I'm holding myself back from smoking my precious cigarettes, I'm not deluding myself by switching to an eCigarette, I'm not counting down the hours until I can…

Just watched this - unlike Dredd, I didn't particularly enjoy it. Sure, it was spectacular, but it just felt kind of flimsy and not really very necessary. The original only came out in 1990! Not quite as bad as the recent Spider-Man reboot, granted, but I still don't think it was needed. There were some neat futuristic touches, like the…

I made a Spider-Man canvas for my brother for his birthday - he loved it! It was quite moving experience, seeing it on the canvas, and the look on his face when he unwrapped it was priceless! I'll never forget what he said: "My favourite super-hero by my favourite artist" You can find the "Making Of" here. I must make…
