Football’s Going Home

Posted inFilms/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
Just watched England crash out of the World Cup - hilarious stuff (I'm Scottish). Let 2010 be forever remembered as the time England would have won the World Cup had the Officials seen that Frank Lampard's effort had crossed the line. You know, just like they would've won the World Cup in 2006 had Rooney not been sent off, and…
I love the Eighties

I love the Eighties

Lips: I Love the 80's is absolutely amazing, I have to mention this. Jane has always loved 80's music and picked it up in Asda earlier in the week. An inspired decision, I must admit. I was surprised how many songs I knew - or at least thought I knew! It seems I mostly only know the catchy chorus bits,…

All four Resurgence packs are out now, 80msp each, 5 new Achievements in all, 10g each for a total of 50g. Stunning new levels, great fun. Service Interruption is an interesting one - I found that a good way to stop the aliens getting near the cores was to install Meteors - they were able to hit the waves better…
I’m going to write about True Achievements again

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?

Posted inMusic, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
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 vs Lost – FIGHT!

Posted inFilms/TV, Internet, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
Yesterday I posted links to two different subjects on GRcade, just to get a little traffic boost. One link was about E3, the other about Lost. I was very surprised when I came on and saw that even though E3 is current and Lost finished ages ago, Lost came out on top with 29 hits. E3 only got 7. I…

E3 2010

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…
Happy Birthday Jasmine

Happy Birthday Jasmine

Wow, it's been a year already? It's the little ones Birthday today, and while I'm a bit sad we didn't get to Longdown Dairy Farm yesterday to see her, I'm OK as I spent a lot of time with her at David and Katie's wedding and at the BBQ afterwards. Look how much she's grown up in her first year.…

Jane bought a new car

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
She did! Traded in her old one and got a nice new one. A three year old ex-mobility Peugeot (it's hardly got any miles on it compared to how old it is), and it's lovely. So much roomier than her old one, I can actually sit upright in the passenger seat, and it'll be ideal for when we have kids.…

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…
