List Of Maps I’m Going To Make In Forge World

By Iain 2 September 2010Reflections, Videogames2 Comments

Forge in Halo: Reach is, quite simply, looking immense. As well as offering more objects per level, the new tools and abilities at your disposal will hopefully let you re-create maps of old, as faithful to the originals as you can possibly imagine. It's been occupying my thoughts a lot recently, so I thought I'd write up a "List Of…

Reading list for August

By Iain 1 September 2010Books, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

LOL GOT YOU! I've not read anything for months, mainly because we've not bought any new books. Instead, I've been playing videogames. I'll be honest - I'm struggling a bit with Pokémon Emerald. It's not the difficulty, it's just the slog. The areas seem a lot farther apart in this game and I've not found Fly yet, and as such,…

MGM – Biggest. Letdown. Ever.

Steel Battalion. You know, the one that came with the huge controller designed specifically for the game. So huge you had to assemble it yourself with an allan key. The huge controller with 40 buttons (all of which lit up as they had LEDs underneath them), two full size sticks, a gear stick with light-up gear indicators, several switches, a…

MGM – Scary game is not scary. Or is it?

By Iain 29 August 2010Videogames2 Comments

"Oh man, this game is so scary, you need to play it!", said my cousin Stuart, handing me a copy of Resident Evil for the Sega Saturn shortly before going on holiday. My Mum and brother were going on holiday with him, so I had the house to myself for a week. All alone in a house, at night, curtains…

Coventry Sex Window

As you may have read in my post detailing the blessing of Karl and Hannah last week, I teased that the view from our hotel window was interesting. I am now going to expand on that and go into the gory details. Be warned – it gets quite racy.

MGM – Red wine, cheese on toast and N.O.M.A.D.

By Iain 28 August 2010VideogamesNo Comments

This is one of my earliest memories, I was still in Middle School at the time. I was staying round my friends house and when his Mum went to bed, we silently made our way downstairs. We put the Spectrum +3 on and played this really odd game called N.O.M.A.D., made ourselves some cheese on toast and had a glass…

MGM – Why wait for Christmas?

By Iain 28 August 2010VideogamesNo Comments

I like this one, it speaks volumes about the person I used to be - and reminds me never to be that kind of person again. It was October or November, 1991 or 1992. I forget, it was a long time ago. David had asked for a Sega Megadrive II videogame console for Christmas. Mum told me she had bought…

Website Housekeeping

By Iain 27 August 2010Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

It sounds odd, but I really enjoy it! Running a website, you need to pay attention to the little things, check that any links are still working and up to date, and making sure that stuff like the static pages aren't out-dated. Today I updated the About Me page, the About Random Fury! page (both minor tweaks really, nothing major…

MGM – Total Penetration

By Iain 27 August 2010VideogamesNo Comments

This is one of my earliest, and fondest gaming memories. One day, my Dad came and picked me up from school in his car. He very rarely did this. He told me he had something very special to show me when we got home - I'm sure he then took the long way home, as the car journey that should…
