Friday update 13/6/14

E3 has been and gone, and one of the only new things that I was interested in was the Master Chief Collection. The other things being Halo 5 (which there were not many details of, because it is so far away from release), and the Dark Souls 2 DLC (which I am intentionally not looking into because I've not even…
Xbox one, Xbox and Xbox One

Xbox one, Xbox and Xbox One

So, my work colleague asked me "do you have an Xbox yet?" today, and while I was sure what he was asking me, I was quite unsure how to answer him. See - I wanted to correct him. I knew he was asking me if I had an Xbox One yet, as he had recently bought one and has told…

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.

2013 fitness targets update

I made three posts in early 2013 detailing some targets I had for the coming year, and all of them started well, but fizzled out towards the end of the year. If I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them. Here goes. I'll tackle the fitness targets first. You can find last years entry here. In terms of meeting…

Frupdate 15/11/13

Friday again. randomfury.co.uk has seen a little bit of activity, with my thoughts on the upcoming Halo for Xbox One. What I would like to see, ideas I've had, my theories on why there's not a five in sight... That kind of stuff. The Random Game Friday this week featured a platform game inside a puzzle game. I've been playing…
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.
