I’m going to write about True Achievements again

Posted inInternet, VideogamesNo Comments
Here's that URL again. http://www.trueachievements.com/ Now, along with some other guys on RF, I had set myself a Gamerscore target (get from 38,000 to 50,000) for 2010. What I didn't realise at the time was that you could actually set yourself goals on TrueAchievements! I set myself two goals yesterday. The first is to get to 50,000 Gamerscore and the…

I’m turning into a casual gamer?

Last night I played Just Dance on a Nintendo Wii and surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. The night before I played Lips on the 360 (I knew I would enjoy that though, it's great fun). And although I was initially not too fond of the idea of Kinect, I'm coming around to it now, as we have two genuine children…
E3 2010

E3 2010

Posted inReflections, Videogames4 Comments
I guess most of the announcements and big reveals have been made by now, so it's safe for me to write up my thoughts on the event. I usually don't bother with E3, but I had a bit of time on my hands this year, mostly because Jane was in Newcastle, so I sat at the PC looking at new…

Revenge of the Burnout

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
As I said on Sunday, I recently re-purchased Burnout: Revenge for the Xbox 360. When I first got it, I had only just finished Burnout: Revenge on the old Xbox, so I was not really motivated to play through it again. I was probably suffering from Burnout BURNOUT lol! Some time has passed now though, and coupled with the measly…

Up and down

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
After all the excitement of last week, this week has been a bit more reserved, not a lot has happened and it's been very quiet. I was on a bit of a downer early on in the week, I expected it after the massive highs of last week to be honest. I picked up Burnout: Revenge the other day, it…
Ten years

Ten years

Posted inMusic, Reflections, Videogames8 Comments
Ten years ago to this very day, Jane and I decided to become a couple. It seems like less, maybe six or seven years, but it's been the best ten years of my life. She is beautiful, and I love her so much. I can't begin to contemplate what a horrible direction my life would have taken if it weren't…

Dead bunnies and easy games

Posted inMusic, Reflections, Videogames2 Comments

One of Claire’s rabbits died earlier in the week. They had been smelly for the past few weeks now, and when she finally got around to cleaning the hutch out, the poor thing had a huge abscess full of maggots. It was really quite something to behold. She rushed off to the vets with it, only to be told it had to be put down as they had eaten all the way through the rabbit’s abdomen and up to it’s lungs and was pretty much gonna die anyway, whatever they did. So that was exciting.

I sold some stuff on the eBay earlier in the week, so had a bit of cash to spare which I used to get some Microsoft Points. I had it in my head to get 5 Arcade games that were 400 points each, and a new song for Lips. Here’s what I ended up with and what I thought of them:

Lips

Posted inMusic, Reflections, Videogames5 Comments
Yes, we finally got around to it. After years of deliberating about which singing game to get, Jane and Claire went halves on Lips: Number One Hits with two microphones. We had a quick dabble last night and it was ok, but when we properly set it up with my Gamer Profile earlier today (it was a sneaky way to…

A killing spree? Me? No way!

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
Continuing on from my raving about The Arena yesterday, I had a superb game yesterday afternoon in The Arena - One guy on our team dropped out early, but I was picking off bitches left, right and centre, camping the Hammer room with the Hammer and I got a fucking 10 kill spree. I'm pretty shit to be honest, I…
