Hello. If you answer no to any of the following questions, then this page is not for you. Did you come here following the link in my Xbox Live profile? Did you just play me at Street Fighter IV? Did you lose? Was I Dan? OH DEAR! You clearly need practise, and lots of it. If you answered yes to…

Beautiful (Boring) Katamari

What on Earth possessed the developers of Beautiful Katamari to put a "100 hours played" Achievement in there? I had finished the game, wrapped up most of the other Achievements* and had pretty much seen all the game had to offer before I'd even got the "50 hours played" award. Worse still, I have no idea how much longer I…

Halo 3 screenshots

Posted inInternet, VideogamesNo Comments
Yes, I know I'm very late on this subject, but playing with the screenshot mode on Halo 3: ODST has made me remember that I'd like to talk about this. 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…

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…

Jane’s 360 is back in record time

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
Following on from this post, Jane's Xbox 360 has been returned in record time. Well, I say returned, Microsoft decided that it'd be quicker just to send a replacement. Not even a refurb job, but a brand spanking new 360 as far as I can tell. That was a quick turn-around, eh? Less than a week - She was very…

The event with no name continues

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
It'll be interesting to go back and play Alpha and Beta on S a year and a half on, especially now they've upped the v.1 drop-rates. I remember last time, it was annoying because there was all these things we wanted but they never dropped. I also remember trying one of the missions by myself when it first came out,…

RFSFIV2WKLY Tourney: Round 2

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
I think that's a good way to say it. RFSFIV2WKLY Tourney Random Fury Street Fighter IV Fortnightly (every 2 weeks (weekly)) Tournament (Tourney). Although explaining it and spelling it out like that makes me look like I doubt your intelligence, dear readers. ... Anyway, who won this time around? No-one! The warning signs were there early in the week to…
